Eye contact. Be confident. Make (((Them))) feel in your world.

In a system that necessitates causation both as an attribute legitimizing the system and a process that identifies itself, any rupture within the process (such that causation itself does not follow) renders the illogical either by continuance as such (crafting ships around the ocean, brackets around X), or gives itself over to self-reference with footnotes encouraging the amendment of not only the illogical-thing-in-the-world, but also its marker; thus refutation of Him is always a call not only to seek where He is not, but also to seek what quality there is in that thing-in-the-world and how we come to mark it as such, and therefore encourages containment within the system or an exit into a truer "witnessing" and so a new communion with another system, a system that has no agreement with the other in how it takes resources from the things-in-themselves.

I thought we got past this whole integrity thing. There is no more left; their is only right now. Whether or not she is or is not a channel for the will of the people is a matter of god's will and I would not be one to be made a fool by divinity. What America needs is austerity and a kick in the ass.

"The religious narrative that lies necessarily at the foundation of our culture."

I hate cultural relativism too, but your generalizations are not going to result in a mass that ends up with similar universal UN human rights outlooks just by siding with their cultures supposed historical foundations in religious narratives. You might be doing well right now with this simplification of the foundations of whatever specific western culture your obscurely consolidated image is suppose to represent, but the level of ignorance of history and religion will wane with your popularity and then reality will overcome these people's fickle mindsets and you'll be left wealthy and renowned and a failure for not having denounced some hypocrisy before the next good war ensues. (Awaiting your tears along with some more weapons contracts for trigger-happy pedo-Saudis with your exact outlook on life, by the way.) Just speculation and boo-speak, but then I want only to help.

Nihilism is an aspect of reality that can be realized through a transcendent experience. This innate nihilism is what you need to speak about when talking about Christianity, that the noble lie is only about maintaining the institution which shelters the individual liar, but upon release is an act of grace, a God-given (ie. empathy maximizing) speech act. When next the church goes to war, nihilism becomes a gift given to more than just priests or hucksters, it is a gift to those who realize what those lies have done and why it was good to lie in the first place. Throughout the world nihilism serves mankind just as you do, just as Jesus did, and we should be thankful for each nihilist's existence as a witness to God's grace.

So I am sad that your pragmatic valuing of the status quo narrative about our cultural origins are wrong or oversimplified. I wish only that transcendent reality will reign you in. Much too late are the odds I see, but I also see a good opening for you in a later market of packaged consolidation and sympathy. I'll be laughing. And you'll have moved on to fixing your household again.

>and the smallest camp, the wacky nihilist-environmentalist secessionist who want to blow the whole thing up and try again.

First it was aboriginals and then first nations, now this. I'm not saying that much every time I see a tribe. Sorry, not doing it.

So. Your house is shit right now and you're not down to party...? Fuck that. That's not you man, you know the parties always going. What the fuck you got going on in there that you're trying to hide. Damn squatters rights gone to your head again? (They think no government is government enough as long as you're telling each other to fuck off and whatnought without given two fucks what anyones doing or whatever, you know those idiots.)

What about the Chinese Room students that appear to have a grasp of it on paper or even while speaking, but still retain that uncanniness of an NPC with good memory and better secondary resources than you've yet to find online?

Why even ask that, he already said he was a poet. Wasting is their enterprise, their gift. Luckily some of the good ones knew and could speak to their audience, so the poets gave themselves over to actual communities rather than lusting after The Masses or The Work, both an obscure mustering of dry hissing whimpers, cloth wrap fluttering from the corpse. These archaic spells do not though wake the dead of your generation, sir.
