Hw: #1 Manleys Homework on "the ethics of absolute freedom"

Banach's lecture almost questions what we discover and believe. What we see or think may not necessarily be true for everyone. When Banach poses questions at first, he asks very broad questions that can be easily argued for or against. Personally though, I think that human flourishing is to maximize a humans potential in there life span. Regardless of what accomplished or income earned, it is the mark he can leave on thing that will let him look back at the end of the road to really value what he has done. Our ethics shape out who we are and therefore it becomes important in the decisions that we make as we are faced with them to shape out who we are.  I find a good portion of what Banach is saying is a question proposed to the reader on what we see and what we believe. The fact of the matter is that we think we know so much and are so advanced in technology but in reality I think that we know so little. The planet earth is a bleep on a radar screen in the galaxy where other life forms may look down at us and question our way of life.
