i think terrence is a bit off on his interpretation of capitalism. objectively capitalism makes people free er and more comfortable and it's bested every form of despotic economic planning. but we are now free to worry or wonder about much more than we could, because our efforts were much more focused on basic needs. i do think that the majority of people live unhappy lives, but all we can do is talk to them and show them what's better. let's live like brothers.

@Zanedevill "He's inexcusably wrong on so many levels."

So says you, a coward calling yourself Zanedevill, hiding behind your blank anonymity & offering absolutely no references to back up your assertions. You offer nothing but baseless ridicule. What answers do you share? Where is your solution to the psychological dilemmas of today? Your response here is tasteless.

@Zanedevill You must be awful to hang around. Fuck, I feel bad for anybody you come into contact with.

@MicahBuzan He is.

@Zanedevill I love when science worshippers argue against invisible forces, it shows that you're still treading in the shallow end of the science pool. Get informed on quantum physics and quantum mechanics, where multiple dimensions and invisible forces are quite common. That is the cutting edge of science, and when you include the cutting edge of psychopharmacology it's evident that science and spirituality are close to convergance. Nature has provided molecular compounds to travel dimensions.

the people doing the evil in the world are lost. they have fallen into an endless sea of evil and greed, and it has blinded them from seeing the horrible effects of their actions. We need to stay strong, and understand that there will always be evil and good in this world, if you can even call it that...

I wonder what terence would be saying today if he lived to see 9/11 and the invasion of iraq.
