ANTIGRAVITY BEER

ANTIGRAVITY BEER

What?! yeah that’s right ANTIGRAVITY BEER! My good friend Pat Maloney brought me a 6 pack of these and I was estatic. How cool is this!

Thier quote

“Our small brewery is right on the waterfront in the heart of downtown Barrie — not in some bland industrial unit. We spend summers watching sailboats on the bay from the windows of our brewhouse; we watch the ice huts spring up in winter; and, when “the world is too much with us,” it’s a five minute drive to escape the light pollution and haze of Big-BoxMart-Depot-Land. Visit us. Our tours give the full micro experience: the passion; the love; the squishy stuff in your shoes … well, maybe not the shoe thing. But we guarantee you’ll see all craft beers in a new light.”

You can Locate this beer at your Local LCBO. AGK

Knowing that I have an interest in writing, Trevor asked me to write something for the website so I can get some practice. I was delighted when he asked me to write about philosophy instead of skateboarding, so here it goes.

 

      What is life? Why are we living it? These are the kinds of questions that don’t leave my head and drive me crazy. Philosophy literally translates to “the love of wisdom”, and it was originally conceptualized by the ancient Greeks. It is broken down into four major sections: Metaphysics, which deals with our ideas of existence beyond this world and understandings of afterlife,  or the structure of the universe (”Meta” meaning Beyond, so beyond physics); Epistemology, which is the study of knowledge and how we organize and develop knowledge; Ethics, which is morality, how one should act towards others; and Aesthetics, which is concerned with art, and the idea of beauty. At it’s heart philosophy is a quest to understand the big questions that we don’t have immediate answers to, but little by little, generation by generation, theory by theory, we can use our powers of intellect and reason to continuously surpass current understandings and overcome this puzzle of life.

 

    Religion is basically a combination of these sections into a theory of why we are here and how we should act. As Socrates taught, one must acknowledge their ignorance and incapability to comprehend natures mysteries in order to genuinely pursue truth. But how we look at life, and how the ancients looked at life, is radically different. They thought the earth was the centre of the universe; they did not have television to distract them from nature and the stars. The most influential philosophers of the classical Greek era sparked our Western worldview with their pursuit of understanding. They originated mathematics, natural science, astrology and astronomy to try and understand the cosmos. They used the stars to make predictions, and this is where religion comes from. I see all religions as essentially the same thing: an attempt to have a relationship with nature and it’s awesome powers. Each culture has a different religion, just as they have a different language because their culture is based on a different social contract, and a different system of symbols.

 

    To me the main characteristic of a philosopher is an outstanding awe for our situation here on earth. This wondrous attitude leads to the pursuit of truth and the search for an understanding of what it means to be human. We become so used to living in our environment and forget that we have no real idea of where we have come from or why we are on earth. If you approach the universe with questions I guarantee you will find answers that lead to more questions, which leads to more answers and even more questions. This process of questioning has been going on in human understanding since the ancient Greeks, who started it. Maybe through evolution humans can understand the divine mysteries of the universe, generation by generation, theory by theory, but our present day is faced with the challenge of keeping the terminally ill earth alive, hopefully long enough for humans to figure it all out!
