LeviathanLeviathanLeviathan
In the Leviathan Thomas Hobbes attempts to provide a theory and proof of a natural law that mandates an actual moral absolute. Has he succeeded? Before assessing the validity of the Leviathan, a look into the context in which Hobbes believes he is in will be necessary. To understand how Hobbes’ theory developed. Peering into Hobbes’ theory of human nature, as well as his theory of the state of nature, will set the scene. The Law(s) of Nature, or moral absolutes, Hobbes proposes will then take the stage. Allowing the question of success to be assessed.
How does Thomas Hobbes see human nature?

Mates OpineHe thought the captain was of the sea, but now he listens as the mates opine uncertainty towards the stargazing sailor, whose ability to maneuver safely is unclear. The deck boy mops halfheartedly while he intently focuses on deciphering the murmurs of the crew. “O’gee, what have I gotten myself into? Is it true? Have I boarded a ship of fools?; Mutiny’s the talk, but who will steer?Mates Opine

Thanksgiving to you.
If the gliding rhythms of the great magnet move in my favor I'll be hunkering down by the Big Alien Lake in 3 weeksish, for 3 weeksish
Juan comes up to the Mexican border on his bicycle. He's got two large bags over his shoulders. The guard stops him and says, "What's in the bags?"
"Sand," answered Juan.
The guard says, "We'll just see about that. Get off the bike." The guard detains Juan overnight and has the sand analyzed, only to discover that there is nothing but pure sand in the bags. He releases Juan and lets him cross the border.
A week later, the same thing happens. The guard asks, "What's in the bags?"
"Sand," says Juan.
The guard does his thorough examination and discovers that the bags contain nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to Juan, and Juan crosses the border on his bicycle.
This sequence of events is repeated every day for three years. Finally, Juan doesn't show up one day and the guard meets him in a Cantina in Mexico.
"Hey, Buddy," says the guard, "I know you are smuggling something. It's driving me crazy. It's all I think about...Just between you and me, what are you smuggling?"
Juan sips his beer and says, "Bicycles."
I'll continue to tell it anyways...
