To add to this, the Rastafarians have a very deep understanding of language and how it affects your perception of yourself and of the world. The phrase 'I and I' is meant to represent both the EYE, that which perceives, your body, that which binds you to the physical, as well as your 'I', the abstract identity, that which binds you to the astral, of which you can include your ego.

Equality? Or identicalness? Equality before the Law is one thing, the basis of any decent legal system. But no one is "equal" to anyone else in real life, everyone differs in a great variety of ways.

OP is in an abusive relationship, should bail out and cut contact with the manipulative bitch asap! Many chicks out there much more worth his time.

Their job is to define the words that people use, not to try to indoctrinate people to their ideology.
English is what it is.
Call homosexuals gay, and the result is not that we all suddenly approve of homosexualism, but that the negative connotations of homosexuality is attached to the word due to its new association. Sapir-Whorf BTFO!

Sure, for you it might be autism. But the masses are like cattle, incapable, lost and endangered without herders. Who better to herd them than we few who are able to understand, who are capable?
Makes perfect sense when you think about it.
Remember, anyone attracted to anarchism has a tendency towards elitism, toward rejecting the unthinking mainstream. It is just a question of taking it to its logical conclusion.

The Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan Watts

>>14431635
Well, it has to be true of someone after all, and only about eleven percent of the world population at that. Such a small group that have made such an amazing impact on world history! It must be true, culture IS downstream of biology.
I used to hate the idea as being NOT FAIR, but when one becomes older and wiser one learns that facts do not care about your feelings and that the world and indeed the universe are intrinsically unfair. And after all, as post modernists we know that there is no God and no objective morality, so why not just be a good Darwinian and care for your genetic heritage and future, i.e. your family and ultimately by extension your race?
Anything I leave behind me that is used by anyone other than my direct or indirect descendants is a waste of my time. I would rather see it destroyed rather than pass on advantage to others whose agendas may be inimical to my own group's.

They want that leech to become a man... Never too late to grow up!

...don't judge someone until you've stood at his forge and worked with his hammer...

The Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan Watts covers this quite well. One of his earliest and shortest books, most of the rest of his work (along with his imitator Tolle) is superfluous if you have read it.
