Turncoat said:Sure.
No. There's no reason for me to do that. You're being dumb. On some level, I do feel I don't deny that, especially in regards to my passion about my worldview, and how I'd love to see the birth of a new mankind with new values, and a new code of honor that isn't prescribed by some elite, or religion, but rather by mankind itself.
I consider this video by Sagan enlightening.
I'd like to find a wife for me to love with similar values to me, and I'd love to have children with her and raise them together. I'd like to teach my children to be self-sufficient and care for one another.
That's if I were to reach that point, if I don't find a wife, then I'm content with fighting for my values and creating a new world, and being apart of said new world government, or serving in it's military until retirement.
I'm sorry that my dream seems too big and ambitious, maybe it is. Doesn't mean I should just give up and conform to society like you say I should.
Perhaps, I could be doing a more ludicrous route, if I am, I will adjust accordingly, I still plan on entering the military, I will gain practical knowledge, and I will focus on my basic goal of becoming a polymath. From there, I can adjust accordingly, I could decide whether or not, I could join a party and try to agitate and gain more members, or I could go to the third world, and volunteer to help those in desperate need.
While I may not entirely care for people on a more personal based level, I have a care for humanity on a societal level, and I wish to carry out my views because I believe it will lead to a more secular, scientific, grander humanity.
I could change my mind, I still seek to expand my knowledge. Maybe at some point, I could consider going to an actual therapist and seek counseling. I don't believe there to be anything detrimentally wrong with me.
“We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror." ~ Karl Marx
"We represent in ourselves organized terror—this must be said very clearly," and "The Red Terror involves the terrorization, arrests and extermination of enemies of the revolution on the basis of their class affiliation or of their pre-revolutionary roles."
- Felix Dzerzhinsky
Capitalism has for too long ran it's course. It was a great system when it was first created, but it has become a cancerous growth. Sure, I benefit from it, that doesn't matter. All of humanity should benefit, and it shouldn't be at the cost of the planet. I don't believe that my system, or that my views would lead to some form of utopian paradise. Of course not, but I consider my goals to be better than that of the current system.
I am a human being, sure with flaws, but I am not a monster, I might have things in my mind that are likened to monsters, but I am better than them. Monsters might have aspects that inspire me, but I am better than them. Some things require sacrifice, and if that sacrifice means breaking some form of generally accepted morality, than so be it. The ends justify the means.
Even if I am somehow not a human, I will do what I must for humanity.
I don't see any point to continuing this conversation with you.
