A firecracker, a mad cacophony of random, but always well intentioned, existentialist thought and "chaotic vomit". And it's more honest than any philosophy that claims to stoically have the answers. THAT is nonsense. THAT is true madness. His videos are of someone with a hugely active mind trying desperately to make sense out of a senseless universe and it is for me absolutely brilliant to watch.
I understand that for someone who has more solid beliefs about the nature of existence it makes no sense. It's not a problem. Or it shouldn't be. I don't understand why it would make anyone angry. |
You see, that is the great enigma here T.S. - I don't deny some of the things that Brand, you or Kizzy are saying, and I am actually far more aware than you may think about the long entrenched corruption in EVERY institution of this country from the lowliest councils to the Government (every government) and Banking to Justice. I could write 100 pages of incontrovertable facts going back 60 years laced with personal experience on everything from the Bank Bail Out, to The Great Thatcher Sell Offs of the 80's. Even the reason we are in THE EU and the reason we have stayed in it and the reason why Cameron is raising our Foreign Aid budget is CORRUPTION. Politicians and their cronies have made hundreds of millions from both the EU and Foreign Aid over the years.
And YES - the working classes not only ARE and ALWAYS HAVE BEEN the '**** pigs' for these greedy bastards, they are also THE only reason they can gain from their corrupt practices, because without the Tax Paying masses there is no perpetual stream of cash to keep filling the trough at the rate all the many snouts empty it.
Anyway, I digess (catching Brand's Affliction
)
So, I agree to just (amicably) disagree, and we are not arguing - outside of the debate definition - but I think that you too summed it up pretty reasonably, that we just draw different conclusions.
