  • I mean I get that but with solar panels and some MacBooks you could have a good amount of time playing games with friends and fishing. No bills, no job job. Heck I don’t even like fish, or any seafood, but it wouldn’t have to be bad bad. Like it’s not my fantasy per se, I would miss civilization, but it sure beats death and in some ways beats capitalism.

  • Well I find it useful to think of “by accident” as the equivalent to “by way of an accident” the accident was the way that the thing happened; there is a causal relationship there. Compare that with “On accident”, well, what does it mean to be on an accident? It sounds like a great way to get your shoes dirty.

  • I will take a look it sounds like an interesting read!

    In looking at the definition of sacred I can agree with your confusion, as it seems rather tied in with religion. However, I’ll take the last definition from Webster and say that I mean something that is unassailable, highly valued and important.

    While I may not believe in a god, we humans have a penchant for stories, stories passed down through generations which convey some useful truths. Perhaps in a very analytical view we can say that ideals such as: fairness, decency, responsibility, and fidelity are expressions of an evolutionarily advantageous strategy of community building.

    Yet, while this may be the underlaying truth, on the day to day it is the feelings of righteous giddiness I get when I read of an ideal that I know to be good and just. While acknowledging the impact of my default wiring and upbringing, I believe we all can choose our moral framework, and live by it.

  • I am from the United States. I don’t really know anymore. I don’t understand how both parties can be so terrible, but they are. I cannot abide my own contradiction in that I believe in democracy, I believe in the ideals espoused by my country: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, yet I no longer believe in the people, or the institutions.

  • Who are the elites? It’s a term thrown around, yet do we mean the billionaires? Are they working together? What is their goal in the long term? Without answering these questions, I find it hard to differentiate between meaningful political discussion and conspiracy theory. The trump people blame the “elites” as well, which we can presume are in some way different from the ones you’re talking about.
