Nuts or how I learned to become

But you utterly misrepresent him here. Mr. A is a communist (and Buddhist or neo-buddhist) with concrete ideas about changes and goals.

But here’s the problem with your assumption. Not everyone has to do everything. Pointing out problems that are denied, including those denied by the mainstream media, is very important. Until enough people realize how they are being mislead or what the current problems really are, you may not have enough momentum to carry out change. If they think things are fundamentally ok, rather than systematically messed up, they have no motivation to listen to ‘visionaries’ like yourself.

Mr. A and I have a number of disagreements, but 1) he does have plans 2) he obviously hasn’t given up and does EXACTLY what you are doing: writing posts in a philosophy forum. Unless you’ve given up, you have no reason to assume he has. 3) Writing vague, meandering ideas about what we should do and what values we should have - your approach - how effective has that been? You say nuts to a small group of people some of whom are interested in philosophy. I don’t know what you are doing politically outside of your posting here, but perhaps you could show us. You seem to be comparing yourself to someone under siege in a war. On what grounds are you comparing yourself to him?

Then you go into nihilism. In response to one of your posts a while ago, Mr. A. asked you to demonstrate that communism is necessarily nihilistic. Since pontification is why you are here, you ignored him.

You want to talk about the future, but seem to think political dialogue is not needed. In fact you seem to have given up on it.

that is not the lesson of evolution. At least not Darwinian evolution. Evolution does not look forward. Things that work survive. There is no looking forward in natural selection.
