Apologies for previously rambling.

I don't think that the Rockefeller's have too much to do with the Soviet Union or even the CIA. Nelson Rockefeller actually led The United States Pres...

I couldn't even put myself on that sort of immanent plane, y'know? Just not having negative social capital, I think, especially as I just kind of want...

Ethics stem from the other. The situation for ethics to arise only exists because of that there are others. Empathy is what lets us experience the per...

Personally, I feel like my attempt to rig my social capital so that it isn't detrimental to me by what is good faith ought to just simply pass. I can'...

I can't now, apparently. All that I mean is that empathy offers you the process by which any veritable ethic is possible. That's all that I was trying...

You don't see what it does for you. It's like the knowledge of good and evil for those not consigned to the Devil. You wouldn't see what it does for y...

While I'm on about the social ecology of the U.K., "Lola" of Lola Versus Powerman is us. They have listened too well of Hilary Clinton's talk of "depl...

Kid A is only an okay album. OK Computer is their best work. Jason Pierce finally liberated, at least, the United States from the cult pathology of wh...

What I meant about this is that I understood what was told to me by that, "It's only personal. It's just not political." I don't think that we should ...

This is what I was looking for. "The Ballad of Easy Rider" by Fairport Convention

Empathy is the epigenesis of ecstasy, the source of all wisdom. People identify too directly with others, via what may be called a "dissociative" expe...

There's a really great joke about how this young Communist in Here Is Your Life who becomes taken by Friedrich Nietzsche's theories about women, but y...

I kind of doubt that Fabianism is terribly popular within the Central Intelligence Agency. I'd bet that there are a few closet proclivities towards th...

We still occasionally wear cowboy boots to the dancehall, smoke Marlboro Reds, shoot pool, almost exclusively drink Miller High Life out of the glass ...

The situation in China is extraordinarily complex and rather troubling. Despite the economic reforms there, little has been done to alter overall powe...

In Speed and Politics, Paul Virilio argues that the rate at which information travels or military operations are undertaken is the primary determinant...

I don't yet have the elaborate philosophical justification for this claim, but I am of the opinion that, because we experience the world as if we have...

I feel like it must've taken some sophistry to shrug the basic dig against industrialization, being that people were freer under feudalism.

You and @"ssu" could have the world's longest-standing political debate, but why should this entire forum be suited for only that purpose? Personally,...

I think that it's all about how you approach your goals. There are some that are better than others, as that a person should believe in something like...

It doesn't matter. The third time is a charm. "God" by John Lennon ?!

I should also like to point out that, as much as I like Giorgio Agamben and think of him as an intellectual heir to the Situationist International, I ...

I see it that freedom is effectively universal as it is the primary contention within political debate. Though not so inclined to say anything of huma...

Of course you don't. You don't even moderate this forum. You are affiliated with a set of left-wing intellectuals who are antagonistic towards my pers...

Leave now.

I don't think you understand. If they issue another threat, it's not going to be those Lenin boys. They only have one party to come after me with. It ...

I think that there should be established an Israeli and Palestinian state along what people generally call the "'67 borders" and eventual state with e...

I've attempted suicide too, but I don't use it to defend war crimes. I'm saying that your posts in this thread read as counter-intelligence to discred...

I'm also not entirely sure that I believe you. You're just so like what you could be like so as to do a certain thing, though you could be like that. ...

I think that you have failed to understand the explicit purpose of my previous ramblings, which was to make it impossible for the forum to spread misi...

Anyways, that joke from Catch-22 relates to the kind of mindset you adopt when you end up in a fight that you can't bail yourself out of. Solidarity j...

Freedom is just being able to do whatever you want to, aside from not being forced to do anything at all. Everything about freedom is good. I am just ...

From a purely existential standpoint, that's a way of interpreting the Absurd. We have the capacity to produce good in the world, though. While being ...

That's not freedom, though. That's just an unwitting form of subjugation. If you read my posts, you will discover that I support the two-to-one state ...

I'm of the opinion that a general purpose of life should be to extend it, all of it, not just human life, indefinitely. People can get lost in that, t...

I feel like the adverse reaction to my ideas is indicative of that society is to blame.

The Absurd is the Absurd, but Camus was in favor of freedom as well. Say what you will about whatever, but I still contend that freedom is good.

You seem kind of distressed. What I'm saying is that you necessarily don't want to be in a cult. I'm not saying that people aren't conscripted into cu...

Only as it has come to be commonly understood. Anarchists today have mistaken Anarchism for generalized chaos. They've let historians in the United Ki...

I have plenty of things to explain to plenty of people, but you just aren't one of them.
