to answer your questions, I have no point and my evidence is reality. I'm aware of how stupid that sounds. If you're implying that I'm supporting socialism in some way, you missed my point. Frankly, what attracts me about the free market system is that it's the most natural. The universe being an untamable force, when humans apply effort we tend to get strange results kicking back. It is folly to attempt to organize a notion of humans (although a small group is sometimes a different story). Besides, with all my talk of utopian delusions, how could I support Marxist social evolution theory? Despite its specious front of desctribing a natural, effortless process, its dream of converting society into a harmonious club where everyone shares is contrived and fanciful.
IN fact, we are experiencing social atrophy. So their concept of things moving toward an inevitable goal is perhaps correct.
What's my "important revelation?" Mankind is not the zenith of creation, not made in god's image. The universe was not shaped so that we might play in it. We are important, noble creatures, but so are salmon.
What's the irony, friend? That I'm a histrionic psycho? Actually, I only act that way when I don't have to face people; I'm pretty reticent and insecure normally, but I see people accepting a skewed reality as our collective cross to bear. They have plausible reasons: one of the most convincing being the idea of original sin. But Humans are not half-beast and half-angel, therefore it is no shortcoming that we are not full angels. WE're full beasts. And we're smart, we can do things better than this, if we give ourselves some credit. What I'm saying is, we are free and therefore don't have to fall into established patterns of thinking. I'm all about cynicism, I think it's an important mental tool, but we must all move past it, keeping it like a shield but wading through the muck at all costs forward. What am I doing about all this? Nothing, except this right here. Am I at this moment a naive hypocrite? Yeah probably, but do I get no credit for trying?
Let me put my cards on the table: I'm a spoiled white suburban kid with acne and too much time to think. I go out of my way not to deceive myself, and I don't pretend to be a messiah who has solved all the problems. But I respect this world.
