"...that sees history as a tragic story." That is why I worship only the future. The future allows infinite possibilities, so why not take responsibilities for our own futures by making the world better now?

This conversation between Goodman and Bacevich illustrates the marketing of American consumption via a historical economics of exceptionalism initiated by an earlier American engine of production: the military industrial complex now become the military market nexus (Philip Bobbitt: The Shield of Achilles: War, Peace and the Course of History ).

5:38 <- Absolutely.
I was talking about this very sort of things the other day with some friends; Seems that the role of religion , political figures/doctrines and some philosophical constructs (determinism , fatalism etc.) are conscious or unconscious way to avoid a guilt/responsibilities.
So if you get into trouble then it was predetermined, fate or god or some none sense , however if you did something good, then its all me in my unique magnificent capacities.
We need more conser. like that
