    yep, I’m an aspiring politician - or perhaps faith leader. it’s basically the same thing - lying to the proles. one needs to learn to appeal to the common man/woman/whatever. the need to find meaning of existence. the need to know what we do matters - that the individual matters. the need to be significant, or be seen as contributing to that significance - it’s accumulation of social credit. an appeal to emotion - and yes, to feelings. feelings existed before language - and language existed before religion, but only just. tapping into that power is the only magic that truly exists

    no, it’s quite all right - you respond how you respond. how you’ve been shaped to respond ;)

      Christ, you’ve used a whole lot of words to say a bunch of nothing throughout this whole comment chain. This is the kind of high school nihilism that used to spew out 4chan.

        and yet you keep returning, like a moth to a flame. sort of poetic. sad too - you’ve not grown at all
