Avatar...one of the most over rated movies of all time.

[Epifrin]

Quite frankly, Stefan's reviews make flat films seem purposeful.

Is "Unobtainium" difficult to obtain?

This is one "deeply" video. =p

@nielss4 I'm sure your two comments were highly interesting (NOT) - Maybe I would have read them if you hadn't started your comment with an ad hom. That tells me all I need to know about you. Fuck off.

@Sivels Also, you may say that science has proved humans are selfish by nature because of survival of the fittest. HA!! Not at all, science has only proved that animals are selfish. Why? Duh, since they are not yet self-conscious!! Their job is to separate themselves from the collective unconscious first, by developing an ego. Our job is to reintegrate back into the collective unconscious, while keeping the ego. Survival of the fittest does not apply to humans, only survival of the Ego.

@Sivels NO IDIOT! Actualizing your EGO (self-conscious outer mind/short-term gratification) is just about as selfish as it gets. Actualizing your True Self (hyper-conscious inner mind/long-term gratification) is just about as selfless as it gets, since the True Self sees the reality that all our minds are inherintly connected through the collective unconscious. See Carl Jung -->

Actualizing your True Self (long-term gratification) is just about as selfless as it gets, since the True Self sees the reality that all our minds are inherintly connected through the collective unconscious. This is what is meant by karma (because if you hurt another, the subconscious is hurt, thus you are hurt), which our ego (self-conscious mind) cannot see by it's very nature.

@nielss4 sorry, self-knowledge - what you're talking about, has nothing to do with altruism, quite the opposite. Actualizing your true self is just about as selfish as it gets.

@Sivels Ofcourse, because you're always looking "out there" for answers. (could be wrong though). And if you haven't looked "within" yet, why should humanity thrust you for providing the solutions? solutions which are meaningless, because if you don't know your inner subconscious mind, you certainly don't know what the subconscious mind of humanity wants.Conflict is then the inevitable consequence, hence why you probs like anarcho-capitalism so much, since it's based on 'happy conflict'.
