The Singularity?

[superabo]

In Social Studies 10 lecture today, we learned about capitalists and communists. And the capitalists thought that the evolution of society was complete with the free market, because it maximized individual liberation and concomitantly societal benefit/production. And Marx said, whoa, hold on, maybe we can still free ourselves from the very system

1. I still don't think that anyone has conclusively proved that there needs to be an end or beginning to anything. This is probably because of that crazy incompleteness theorem.
2. The problem with questioning the viability of rationality is that since it's the dominant force of "reason," in the sense of decision-making process, (Perhaps there is something "higher" I am trying to reach when I say "making decisions." This subject has become very difficult to talk about) when we compute the viability of reason or examine its position as something we will transcend, we tend to use rational processes. If we are trying to rethink the way we think and its value, we can't use a flawed system to do it. Basically what I am trying to say is that we end up invoking the paradox of trying to get rationality to disprove its own axioms. I don't know if that made sense.

debate!

I'm oddly pumped for winter break and the corresponding tournaments.
