....they full fill the need to kill, to hunt, to overpower each other, but its to vicarious for me, I want the real thing, i crave real dominance, and I dont see how your enlightened "scientific" morality can reconcile my bloodlust with your view of "progressive" ethics. In the end it is a value perspective, its based on your values, and we can differ on those, even though my love for science and philosophy is probably the same as yours. Like i said,i have a much bigger point to develop, but i think Nietzsche put it best, for now.

you see i think your all swell and stuff, and your reasoning is in the right place, but our hearts differ in 1 aspect. I crave power, i love power, i indulge in power. My value system includes a little bit of violence, a little bit of war, just to mix it up once we become an uber race of transgalactic beings, what do you think video games do?

your the man! all your videos make perfect sense, they are well thought out, rational, and have an flavour of truth which is irrefuteable (at least to people who use their brains). keep up the good work, as we all continue to fight against religious fanatasism and dogmatism which is destroying our speices.
and your music kicks ass to by the way. u da man |

Excellent channel and important message (antidogma). One tiny quibble I have on the videos I have watched so far is you could cut time on each text block by half or so. Outstanding message you have - possibly the most important issue of our time. I believe that a population in which the majority are clear critical thinkers will easily solve all the other problems that face our civilization.
