 I think Erik's favorite philosopher is Nietzsche instead of Baudrillard.
But why can't I say it? Why? Isn't that one of the things they tell you
when they are teaching you the causes of the 2nd world war?

Why the assumption I said "wait weren't Nietzsche's perfect people the
Ubermensch supermen guys. Didn't they end up becoming Nazis?" with malice
and greed? How do you know I didn't say it because that thought
popped up in my mind just like that? Or how do you know I didn't say it
because I might be trying to figure out male people by seeing the effect
of my words on them as one of the many things in 'all the things you need
to know to be a grownup' I might be trying to learn if I happened to be
19?

And how come everyone is so quiet now? It's not because of me is it?
That's silly- you shouldn't be talking because they are females
listening- you should be talking because there are things that need to be
said for their own sake. (like Erik just did)
        ...but if you happen to attract rare thoughtful followers
(including females one) who agree with what comes from your personal logic
or voice so be it.
