I tried writing a blog post on the whole Charlie Kirk death thing and it sure humbled me.
The more I think, the more I realize that I know absolutely nothing about anything.
"The people need to develop class conscioussness ?"
I can't say anything more than that with respect to the fact that the fight is between the rich and the poor and not left vs right.
If I try to go on a philosophical hypothetical about whether Charlie Kirk deserved to die for his abhorrent views, I realize that I
cannot say anything more than "I am a moral relativist". But I have a code of ethics nevertheless.
I realize now that watching philosophy podcasts does not equate to being able to formulate complex philosophical positions and defending them.
I'd like to end with my actual position on the whole assassination thing.
I would not go so far as to celebrate the fact that he was brutally killed in front of his family.
Do feel sorry for his family ? Yes to some extent. Do I think he deserved to be erased from existence ? Yes sort of.
But... that doesn't mean that I'd have wished for him to be assassinated.
Is the world better off without him ? Yes.
The great fear with such happenings is that, they fuel the divisions and tensions to a greater degree. Which is sad.
I don't know if this even remotely affects me because I do not live in the US but meh whatever.
Everytime I listen to "Another Space Song" by Failure, I am hypnotized. I just can't seem to point out what I love about this song. All the parts are so so simple. But they form a perfect little song when put together. The drums are unrelenting, repititive. I can't believe that this drum part can captivate when I like "Scavenger of Human Sorrow" by Death specifically for the crazy "overplayed" complex drums. The duality of man.
