Drop_It_Like_Its_Hoppe Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 "Nothing is more narcissistic than to shame people for the sake of self-serving collectivist concepts like society or 'species'." - AdamC This statement is a complete revolt against nature. Our species is our genes, and our genes want to survive - This is biology, this is nature. Of course it is "self-serving" of the entire species, because we are the species of homo sapien, and we would like for ourselves (as homo sapiens) to live on and survive into the future. I say "we" because that is what all of our genes (yes, OUR genes) want - to survive on. According to AdamC, to think this way is just "collectivist" thinking. What a conveniant word that has become, to be used to shame anything and everything that is not exclusively of the 'individual'. So AdamC uses it to shame our nature, our evolution, and our biology. This sort of radical individualism is inane and destructive. Homo Sapiens are a social species, and as such, we want to live on and survive - This means we will have a tendency to be "collective" to some degre, it is natural, and must be accepted for our survival as a species. I am not a radical individual, nor am I a radical collectivist. I am a man.
Jose Perez Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 There is more species differentiation in a strawman argument than in genes, in my opinion.
Drop_It_Like_Its_Hoppe Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 There is more species differentiation in a strawman argument than in genes, in my opinion. It isn't a strawman. AdamC clearly considered "species" a collectivist concept worth shaming in that quote.
Drop_It_Like_Its_Hoppe Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 It's incredibly disingenuous of you to conflate my argument of biology with globalist political/economic perspective. You're a butthead, and I hate you.

Rick Horton Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I have GOT to see this film. Thanks for posting that clip. Y'know, it sucks but he is pretty much right, especially about modern life. And being a little digit in a realm of vast digits makes me feel like I'm NOT LIVING. Not for real. I want to hold up a sword! Yell at the sky! CLAIM something I want and hold onto it until I'm bled to death over the souls of the masses of the undead, yet unliving drones. There are always these ideals and morals and noble ways to live, but at the end of the day in this world I am an animal that I see as one who has the urge to be master over my dominion. That's where nobody else's morals can touch my soul. All of the comprimise in the world can't simply justify the stripping, little by little of the will to LIVE. And for man, or "me" to live, I don't think I need to, or should explain all of my actions to all of these people with all of these philosophies whether they seem righteous or not. I live by morals, but I don't expect them from others, and in this world you will not have your morals respected. In the face of this, there are times when I feel justified in taking what I want if I can get away with it. Like a pirate. I mean, we live in a pressure chamber of people imposing beliefs, systems, philosophies, doctrines, laws, manners, etc... It's almost embarrasing to admit I'm one of these "humans" Hell, a damn Lion lives more than we do.... But I digress..... This "network" is so vast, so social, so restricting, constricting, and so dehumanizing, that we live more like Bees than what my deep insides tell me we should be doing, which is ruling over our own individual desires. For better or worse, THAT is living. Everything else is surrendering one piece of your will after another for the sake of comfort, acceptance, status, obligation, etc..... HOW FUCKING PATHETIC. BE A MAN.
