Take a government for example, The only reason it exists is because in people's minds we choose to beleive it, The idea behind a government is nothing more than an idea! It is a made up idea that people then follow in thier minds and hence the idea is upheld as a physical manifestation of people holding jobs in a structure that adheres to the idea. Idea being the key word here.
I'm not denying we have a government or anything like that but what I am saying is we onyl have them because we all go along with the idea of having one!
So why does everyone have a go at klintock, why not jsut ignore him?
i think the point is that every just accepts it. Why should these ppl have control over us (anyone).. when as gavman said, they are nothing.... its just a word for their position, the power they have only exists because ppl dont question it.
nope i didnt vote for anyone to control me?
all the ppl that are in the house of lords etc.. i didnt vote for them...
i didnt vote for the ppl working at the inland revenue who charge me money for nothing?
did u?
But klintock offers no solutions, bar "stop believing in them" which is as useful as a chocolate fireguard - its like he's about 15 years old and has only just discovered thinking for himself. Its bizarre.
I think it was the frequency of such interruptions rather than the idea itself that got a bit exhausting.
OK then.. what if the ppl i vote for don't get into power, i'll govern myself then shall I? Seeing as I didn't vote for them, I shouldn't have to play by their rules.
What if the ppl I vote for get into power but then turn shit after 6 months... Governments are generally a complete farse for certain ppl to get power and assume they know what's best for everyone, and they exist because we are basically powerless on our own (funny that ppl think the people are in control in a democracy ;p)
What do you disagree with ?
theres not realy 'anyone' in the bone box ...it's not even in his imagination as he doesn't believe there is anyone in there to have an imagination.
splish splosh ...
Just a breather. A pause... to let what you are saying sink in.
