re: Dear White People: It's time to cancel your Netflix account

After all, essence is by defintion essential. We cant say that intelligence to a degree is essential, because we can observe intelligence in other life forms.

My theory is that we supply this force when no evidence presents itself, but that we also latch on to the barest minimum of evidence if it presents itself. In other words, we need proof, and so we find it.

When I say that we supply this higher power, I don't mean that we only supply the conception of a higher power in a singular form. We can also supply this power in the form of an ideal.

Anybody want to help me. I'm going to start a podcast/YouTube channel called "dear black people"

I don't think you fully understand where you stand.

For this to work, the entire thing has to come down.

It must be a boring dystopian world. If 1984 is a 1 dystopian world and Atlas Shrugged is a 3, then Fahrenheit 451 is a 5 and Hunger Games is the 7-10 entertainment standard.

frick, dealing with dystopian society sounds hard to me, I mean Hunger Games was cool but how many Jennifer Lawrences are there? That's upper scale utopian dystopia.

Seriously.

Then there's the idea of 1984 on the opposite end. shite, that sucks. Hell, Animal Farm is a good 2 on this spectrum.

Then Atlas Shrugged?

Jesus man. It's pretty fricking cool here in America.

I'm not sure why you want the things you want.

Nationalism?

Fear?

Naybe semantics but i believe intention supplies motivation to reason but not essence, which i believe is more of a peripheral sense, brought about by a second layer of awareness.

I think that we need a reason to exist, and like Heidegger says, we need more of a reason than we can supply.

See, I think that the higher power is created by us. It's an imposition of order upon what we see as the chaos of the cosmos.

Even those who reject the idea of a supreme being need an ideal to commit themselves to in order to continue living. Even a hardcore atheist has an ideal to commit to.

Manifest Destiny worked ok.

Demographic Destiny probably won't take you where you think it will.

You selling Sprite or are you selling dystopian worlds?

Privatized police, privatized fire, privatized health care.

I'd bet the majority of these guys would have a conniption fit when the realize that their corporate police will only cover certain felonies.

Sure, they'll have their gun rights, but shooting a intruder without the proper coverage will result in a felony.

It will be like buying car insurance.
