Kant ‘The understand does not derive its laws from Nature but dictates them to her’

An actual drawback which accompanies the cessation of metaphysical views lies in the fact that the individual looks upon his short span of life too exclusively and receives no stronger incentives to build durable institutions intended to last for centuries -he himself wishes to pluck the fruit from the tree which he plants,

Dāvida pils. rūķi teikās, vīrs pa caurumu laidis lejā auklu un izvilcis auna galvu
Dundagas pils. kādā teikā pusis atkal zvanījis torņa zvanus un tad atkārtojis pils vārdu, tā uzcēlusies atpakaļ no kalna un cilvēkj atdzīvojušies, bet puisis pārvērties par akmeni, kas glabājad Puišu kalnā, kur pils iedzīvotāji gadiem veikuši ziedojumus
Ēdoles pilskalns. stāsta, ka dīķim ir ozola grīda

Teika par Bauskas pilskalnu 24lpp
jaunava, kas ieacina vīru nogrimušā pilskanā un vīrs pēc laika nomirst
Bērzukalna pils teika 25-26lpp
bērzukalna pilī centies iebrukt svešs karapulks un to aplaupīt, bet neesot spējis. Palūdzis palīdzību mērim, kas kā muša caur karaļa meitas ūdens spaini ielavījies pilī un nogalinājis visus izņemot burvi, kurš nogremdēja pili ar iebrucējiem ezerā

..the will to free will.
And if we are the deceived, are we also not the deceivers? Must we not also be deceivers?

so incredibly misogynistic wow
