It's one of those things, that is, if you know, you know. If you don't, then you don't. Unfortunately for us, I don't feel good about revealing too much about it (or myself). Sorry.
Or fairness. Exhibited by this quote of yours:
>I think that if we want to grow up, we need to grow beyond fairness and unfairness.
You might not be a nihilist, but nihilism is 100% what you are preaching here in defense of wealth inequality.
If you're not, it's somehow even worse. And, it reminds me of this rather brilliant scene in the big lebowski:
Walter Sobchak: No, without a hostage, there is no ransom. That's what ransom is. Those are the fucking rules.
Nihilist #2: His girlfriend gave up her toe!
Nihilist #3: She though we'd be getting million dollars!
Nihilist #2: Iss not fair!
Walter Sobchak: Fair! WHO'S THE FUCKING NIHILIST HERE! WHAT ARE YOU, A BUNCH OF FUCKING CRYBABIES?I think we don't know if there a meaning to life and we might never have an answer. If such a meaning exists, I think that humans simply are not equipped to reason about the meaning of their own existence.
Okaaaay, but I don't see how that view which you hold can be reconciled with this view which you also espoused:
>I think that if we want to grow up, we need to grow beyond fairness and unfairness.
I'm feeling a lot like Walter right now.
We don't share perspective. Therefore, we can't see what the other is seeing. One thing I am taking away from this conversation is that at least one of us need to study better.
> I'm feeling a lot like Walter right now.
The thing about feelings is that our feelings are arbitrary. One can feel intense hatred for a waiter who served the food a little too late, and intense love for a political leader who promotes honor-killing to maintain status quo. To some, it sounds bad and to others it sounds good.
The issue isn't that we don't share perspective, but that you appear to have contradicted yourself.
