While I think that your analogy is fantastic - I want to rebut it... not to rebut you, but to the intelligence community.<p>FUCK YOU intelligence community. I fucking hate you.<p>We are suffering from the parasite of tyranny on the human condition.<p>fuck that condition. Humans exist as both an individual and as a community - this is the binary spectrum we exist in. The challenge is in how we understand the differences between individuality and community.<p>Governments are an overlay which were ostensibly to provide order over chaos. Yet we are now in a position where they extract power from both chaos and order.<p>I reject this. Whole heart. I reject a government or any group or any individual who serves to extract control over me or others.<p>I may lose, entirely (e.g. my life) but I hands-down deny any authority which is literally stealing existence in order to exist.<p>FUCK THEM.
