Speaking of Lockean views of government, any atheists here who take a lockean view of nature (and by extension of government?)

I'm only agnostic and I can't imagine anything shot of the super-natural keeping people peaceful the way he describes.

E: Also, anyone here take a non hobbes/Locke view of nature? I don't think I've ever met someone who was say Montesquieuan

I haven't extensively read any of Locke's work, could you summarize the Lockean view of nature?

From what I remember (someone who follows Locke will have a better understanding); absent any groups or "proto-governments" people

"order their actions, and dispose of their possessions and persons, as they think fit, within the bounds of the law of nature."

He goes on to say that reason is the law of nature and what binds humans together. When written it was deeply rooted in English Christianity and as I learned it, reason was imbued in all of us through God.

It's the most popular libertarian view on the state of nature, because in holds that Governments are not very necessary and that human beings will naturally trend towards peaceful coexistence

Oh, well then I most certainly do not subscribe to that. I think govenment is required in some form, and that human nature is largely animalistic nature. Our actions are the result of chemicals and environment type of thing. It is amazing that humans have evolved to the point of something that almost resembles actual free will, though. Truly amazing.

I think it's more subtle than I explained it, I'm not totally certain which is why I want to speak to someone who subscribes to it. It does however sound like given zero laws Locke holds that people would naturally co-habitate and that any violation of the peace would be snuffed out without issue

I need to get my brother in on this thread! His favorite pastime (I kid you not) is "philosophizing" with people. But I haven't read very much philosophy myself, so I'm not a great participant

[Hennessy]

Now that I think about it, can anyone point to examples of a post WW2 super power's military successfully defeating a large scale insurgency/winning a war of attrition? Only one that comes to mind is Russia essentially leveling Chechnya, but maybe there are others?

Sri Lanka and Tamils

I'm on the last season of The Wire and I'm like why did they end this after only 5 seasons?

Enjoying it so far? I know it gets slagged a bit but I thought it was pretty good, even if it was a little too bleak at times.

Need a new show.

Can be on netflix, amazon, Hulu, or HBO.

Preferably one that can be binged but isn't dated.

Great British Baking Show!! haha, although I told my boss (30 year old male) to watch it and he scoffed at me

I've heard great things about Man in the High Castle on Amazon, but have only seen part of the first episode myself.

And my guilty pleasure that ALWAYS makes me laugh out loud is Mindy Project

All roads lead to Fargo. It's on Hulu now I think.

I really enjoyed Narcos. If you haven't seen "The night of" go watch that now, it is fantastic.

[RParadela]

Mr. Robot, Game of Thrones, and Westworld are the best 3 shows on television. Also, True Detective season 1 is amazing

[Rigo]

Pretty Little Liars.

Your view of the state of nature is more similar to that of Thomas Hobbes.

For the most part but Locke recognizes that there are some humans that will not co-habitate peacefully and thus we form governments to protect our natural rights: life, liberty, and property.

I really need to commit myself to binging GOT this summer

[poptart123]

For anybody curious about Locke or many other philosophers/artists/historic figures/etc this series is enjoyable and a good starting point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZiWZJgJT7I

Season 1 was sooooo good, made Season 2 that much more painful.

the sun hasn't shined in three days and now I'm thankful I'm not going to Cornell.

I love the pnw but I'm skeptical if I could actually live there long term and not go crazy in the winter.

I think we're the same person. I can't recommend these 4 shows enough.
