    Not really nihilistic if it is solely acknowledging the truth. That kind of conclusion is yours and not his. You’re giving up on fixing things.

    Either you are to believe man capable enough at fixing things or not even capable of processing a basic factoid.

    However both can’t be true, if you have to tell someone how to think - then your goal is not the absolute conclusion.

    I feel people will wake up to it, not from the sirens but by the heat and smoke. Much too late, but folks learn from mistakes mainly.

    It just saddens me they have co-opted the message of a great thinker into a simple guide of indentured servitude. While at the same time dismissing the cleansing needed and done.

      I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say, here. Proper analysis of problems is a requirement for understanding how to solve them, but they were saying that all systems are flawed in a manner that depicts all of them as equally flawed, which is bad logic.

        Never was it said equally. Only flawed, is it not true all is flawed?

        Yes their should be more deliberation and you could have done so. However instead you focused on his act of communication, people want change but when times change people cower.

        Let folks speak up and talk with them, rather than critiquing their very act. You are essentially creating an internal dilemma with someone you ultimately agree with in cause.

        It is counteproductive, however simple communications get simple points across. Easy to get but easy to misconstrue. So it is important to contextualize it, which you again could have done, but instead acted upon his manner of action.

        Be what you want from others.
