Nietzsche’s Morality Nowadays

            Friedrich Nietzsche was one of the most influential German philosophers in the XIX century. In his writings he characterized power as the driving force for most people. His most important thinking is “the will of power”. Nietzsche’s morality consists of morality as anti – nature, immorality. According to him, the real moral people are the people with power. It is in human nature to seek power and poverty. Every person wants to have power over another person. Nowadays we can see this accomplished by many people. It is a fact that 90 percent of the world poverty is concentrated only in few people in contrast to the population of the world.

Education in Internet

The Internet is a new world. Virtual world of our world. As a virtual world, everything is possible, and doors for many new things are opened. Things like online games, online shopping, online advertising, online music… But together with all of that, the Internet opens the doors for something more. Something called online education.

Net Neutrality

Net neutrality is the principle and the control of what the internet users should view and what applications should they use in Internet. It is about equal access to the Internet. For example if you set up your own server, your server istreated in the same way as the servers of big companies. That mean that the customer can get access to your server with the same speed as to the server of big companies.  It is a king of tolerance between the internet users.

The Sarafan

The Sarafan are a group of sorcerer priests in the Legacy of Kain series of video games. They were an order dedicated to the eradication of vampires. Their crusade ended about 500 years before the start of the first game, when their leaders were killed shortly after destroying the ancient vampire Janos Audron.

The Hylden

They were first introduced in Soul Reaver 2, where the protagonist Raziel saw murals depicting them in the subterranean chamber under the Pillars of Nosgoth, as well as in the Reaver forges. Ancient history depicted them as the bitter enemies of the winged Ancients, the original vampires. They were similar to the Ancients in power, but “different in method and intention.” Both wanted dominance of Nosgoth, and warred for a thousand years to claim it. The Ancients won the war, banished the Hylden to a demonic dimension, and created the nine magical Pillars of Nosgoth to keep them sealed in place. The Hylden did not go quietly. In a final act of vengeance, they managed to curse the Ancients with a thirst for blood, and eternal life turning them into Nosgoth’s first vampires.

The Ancients

The Ancients were worshippers of The Elder God, and believed his doctrine of a fatalistic pre-fated world in which all souls go through a purifying cycle of birth, death, and rebirth under the supervision of the Elder God. The Ancients eventually tried to convert the other chief race on Nosgoth at the time, the Hylden, to their religion, starting a war that proved devastating for both races.

Circle of Nine

The Circle of Nine are the guardians of every Pillar of Nosgoth. Just as the Pillars of Nosgoth are central to the Legacy of Kain series, the characters who have served as Pillar Guardians are prominant players in Nosgoth’s tale. Throughout Nosgoth’s history there were a maximum of nine Pillar Guardians at any one time, collectively called the Circle of Nine. As Guardians within the Circle died, they were replaced; this only stopped with the Pillars’ corruption:
