How can you take such enjoyment in meaningless tasks that were created for you to partake in by other humans, by humans who were thinking about money, and greed, and efficiency? Please save yourself from it, you still can. What activities do you enjoy, prophex? I mean, besides expressing condescending pity to people who are happier than you are. That's not a rhetorical question. I'd like to know. Do you enjoy playing the guitar? Do you like music?

It's not condescending it's genuine concern.

Fact is, I am in a similar system, which disgusts me, called college. I want to take my guitar, and go to California, but I would probably have a very hard time thriving. I can teach my teachers, my one philosophy class feels like sunday school, and I actually have to take my time and do homework for these people. Not only that, it's not what I want to be doing. I want to learn from the philosophers themselves, instead of having some muddled down version from a depressing individual who sees the world as capitalism. I'm going to read their works, that's all I really need.

Re: Question to Evc
What you want: 1. guitar
2. California
3. philosophy What you fear:
I would probably have a very hard time thriving. Reality to consider: The best antidote to fear is curiosity.

Re: Question to Evc
The statements are "rich" regardless. Are the statements no less true? Your criticism is pushing an enslaved ideology that I personally hold disdain for. You were born free. Start acting like it, damnit. Edited by -messenjah of one, : embarassing spelling error Edited by -messenjah of one, : embarrassing spelling error ^

I rarely spell a word incorrectly, that was embarrassing. Out of character for you to "call me out on it" though. That's fine, I've been cruel before, only to know-it-alls. Which is exactly your point. Edited by -messenjah of one, : No reason given.

Philosopher, heal thyself. If you don't have the balls to live by your own advice to everyone else, then that makes your philosophy pretty empty, doesn't it? You hate capitalism, and life within it is so awful for you, but heaven forbid you give up your cushy existence that is paid for with the support of those in the system. Like, you're just a big ol' hypocrite, aren't you? And, tell me, what do you want to go to California for, anyway? To make it big in the music industry? No, that's not a disgusting uber-capitalist business out there in LA, no, not at all.

Gosh, what's it like being so incredibly brilliant? I'll bet everybody there doesn't mind you looking down on them, including your professors, cuz they can see how obviously above all of them you are. They just love to bask in your presence, I'll bet.
