Enlighten yourself, a bit of a rant

[Dusty-Boy]

Reasoning, If God supposedly made man in his image from bits of the Earth and pieces of himself, then man is predestined to create without the bounds of and is impossible to be perfect, as an infinitesimal piece of infinity is still infinity. God is either imperfect and disprovable, or man is himself, a god in infancy.

Reasoning: With mind on regional morality, our blood stains the world, with mind on science and liberty, our marvels will polish the world, bringing prosperity to the masses, it is our generation's turn to take the reigns, to steer the future, where will we stand? Will we be the ones to walk towards war and pestilence for the sake of a normality that has been with us through ten thousand years of recorded history and millions of years of human evolution? or will we transcend, warring only when rights are infringed upon, and humanity stalls like a rushing torrent dammed off to be a stagnant, and polluted pond.

Will we keep buying into the words of our elders who so clearly have not taken the correct path? or will we simply go our own route, move to a new enlightenment. When we look to eachother for our stengths, and offer ourselves to lighten the weakness of others, when we decide that our individualism is not the opposite of our communalism, when we realize that we can have a capitalist society without the "Every man for himself" mentality, If we all work to progress ourselves, and we understand that what is in the best interest of the community is also in our best interest every time, we know that the world can move forward, into prosperity, by harnessing the supposedly negative human trait of greed, we can help eachother, the "What's in it for me" mentality can make a true form of brotherhood, in which we aspire for self-betterment.

If you do not follow me, understand this, large companies can produce more assets to create amazing products than a single man can, if we work together we can help to mass produce amazing people, if we cast off the colors of our diversity, if we forget about the black and white, the gay and straight, and the other social subgroups, we can unite into something bigger, a prosperous human existence, where each man is a true individual, but each individual mind compliments the collective concience of the species, and the species moves forward.

For this we must understand that it is not our duty to act in the play, but we must all help to write it, Write your political beliefs, your philisophical callings, write what you believe and send it to the world, so these ideas might spread, so Liberty may fall down upon our subjugated brothers, like rainfall on refugees who walk through the desert.

In this issue don't apply your gods, don't apply your hatred of races or differences, strike down ideas not people, send pamphlets, not bombers, give your money to research, not impulse buys.

Be human, not sheep, throw off the chains and walk out of the cave, feel enlightenment... whatever it is to you, it is different to me, and it is the same to us both, Enlightenment is reason. The god of reason is liberty, the green lady. With liberty comes the power to express our ideas, be them Scientific or social, and with that comes the ability to break down the dam before they construct it.

Don't sit down without thinking of these things, at least your version of them. if this happens, you will be a part of the solution as your thoughts will come through to your discussions, your discussions will bring more people into the light, and the cave will be abandoned, we will no longer fear the monsters in the dark, but will instead seek to bring them into sight, true sight, we will understand them to be what they really are, fallacies in reason.

Those who stand in their high offices, be they religious, business, or political, will not reign forever, for they will spread the flames of their own hatred and malice, and it will come back to burn them.

Liberty is something that once it enters a society, never fully leaves, it hides it's true form but is still on the tongue of every politician and warlord, every poet and artist, Liberty rings loudest when the ones protecting it have microphones, and not guns.

Thank you Mr King Jr.
Very poetic.
It wasn't quite to the logical standards of your predecessor, but I understand this s**t gets harder as the years progress.

Your first piece of reasoning is flawed, in that you have not factored in the possibility for infinite possibilities. As much as it's true that any fraction of infinity is still infinity, any multiples (no matter how small) of infinity, must include infinity also; if you get my point.

Reasoning: With mind on regional morality, our blood stains the world, with mind on science and liberty, our marvels will polish the world, bringing prosperity to the masses.

Of course, this is discounting the fact that with a mind on regional morality, this world is of rather less importance than the one that comes after.
Also; 'cuz science and liberty haven't caused any death', no such thing as freedom fighters, eh?

I know it may not have crossed your mind that the amalgamation of thousands of years of experience might have a little more insight than yourself, but perhaps pause to consider it.

A nice sentiment. But it holds the exact same flaw that communism has.
It's a nice idea, but you've completely discounted human nature there.

There's a reason the tyranids aren't known for their conversation or art.
You're essentially discussing the materialization of a society fueled from a communal 'hive mind'.

Hah! I just find it hilarious that in one paragraph you can show such disdain for everything that it is to be human, and in the next declaim "Be human, not sheep!"

Enlightenment is reason.

Reason is but one path to enlightenment. And frankly, a poor one, as enlightenment is all-encompassing. It doesn't exist solely for the rational and the explainable. [see my guild]

What utter poppycock.
Do you think that if a person has an idea to express, that anything in the world could stop ********, take music for example. All the greatest advancements in music, blues, jazz, rock, punk, metal, etc, all of them are resultant of the downtrodden: those who felt less free than their peers.

You're an idealist, but an irrational one.
So much for your message of reason.
