My uncle took me to his friend’s apartment, and at that moment he pulled out what appeared to be a very ancient Ouija board.…

In moral luck Nagel thinks through the whole Kantian view of morality which shows that everyone is equal participants in the moral enterprise. Nagel argues that the Kantian view is too simple and doesn’t take into account the way external factors impinge upon us.

    I’ve always had the impression that fairytales were innocent stories of finding true love and living happily ever after, like the way Disney depicted them to be. I never thought about where these stories came from and the different themes and symbols that were relevant of that time. Some of the things I’ve learned about fairytales have not only shocked me, but has also made me reevaluate everything I know about fairytales. Something I never knew about fairytales is that they weren’t always for children.
