True knowledge of history is the solution to world issues, but the warped interpretations of it will always exist. You say multiculturalism killed major population centers, but that idea only files with right-leaning historians. Personal spiritualism is fine, dogma is dangerous. Everyone is NOT equal - 100% agree - but you cannot convince me it's based on race. Greenism is not recycling. Culture is not religion. And all that.

You say a radicalized core belief group can bring improvements to the world, but what do you think that group is today? Tamil Tigers? KKK? Al Qaeda? It's the Nobel candidates, the free-thinkers and artists, the people who keep core communities together at the family level, riding on infrastructure and economics. And what has ever been the only type of society to ever produce a balance between all, to produce great thinkers, humans worth listening to? I'll tell you, it's not the fundamentalist, 'conservative' societies. It's not hipsters either. I'm totally comfortable with using THAT label. Sometimes I think we debate toward the same thing, but we can't agree on how to get there.

So what is your goal then Conservationist, when you jump on every opportunity to expend your political views? Certainly it's not ego - no, you've already criticized that. I'll tell you what mine is - humans, I really believe our species has the capability to survive indefinitely, give the middle finger to the next mass-extinction, and feed our need to explore the beyond. The earth has produced us, but that doesn't mean we can't outlive it. The best of the best can survive until the universe converges on itself, and hopefully we can leave something behind after that for the next crop of life to find. This idea is in everything I do - it's why I'm a musician, it's why I'm a budding archeologist, so that I can leave a record, something permanent when I rot in the ground, as a record of our species.

Call it romanticized, call me fucking nuts. I'm just not sure with all your ideas, what the hell you're really trying to do except kill us all, mentally or otherwise (liberals dying out after the industrial revolution? where do you get this stuff?).

This lab is done installing Windows. Back to work.
