You're buying into and regurgitating the myth that the world reduces into "good vs. evil" and that the difficulty involved in making sense of what's going on is not because the world is inherently complex but because somebody is pulling the wool over your eyes. "Wake up, sheeple!"
I mean, really: if you're going to come so close to having a clue, why not just take that one extra step? Why does it always have to come back to declaring indifference a sin foist upon people by the Great Satan of the week?
- rkalla 14y agoIt's a good point and unfortunately one I figured would get confused with what I wrote so I hummed and hawed about writing anything. I don't think you can distill the world down into "Good vs Evil" -- it would be easier if you could. What I do think is that power has an innate tendency to protect itself and concentrate and the mechanisms by which it does this _anywhere_ are all strikingly similar -- i.e. if you put them all in a pot and boiled off the water, you would maybe 3-5 different ways for doing this.
