Attended EIR's Michael Billington talk
& was able to ask a question but couldn't
compose my thoughts clearly/logically
so wasn't able to exploit the full opportunity

Learned that "environmentalism" & "C02
problem" are the gimmicks of some groups...

I thought: why are some people not satisfied
with their own problems/misery/happiness
& try to INVOLVE others... I am definitely
not like them because I live my life privately/
to myself... Maybe I'm autistic without
knowing it??? They say that man is a social
animal (i.e. gregarious) but I feel Albert Camus
was fundamentally correct that one's death is
in a sense "one's own." Even Albert Einstein said
something similar: that in the final analysis one is
alone by oneself in one's existence.
You will die alone. Even if you try to
involve your most beloved one in a death pact
I doubt if you'll end up together in the same place
in the hereafter. [Imagine, a la Rome & Juliet
lovers' "suicide" pact, but one ends up in
heaven/intermediate place while the other ends
up in hell! HAR!

Quotes from Albert Camus
(Camus, an atheist-existential philosopher was one of the important
thinkers who influenced my early thinking. I read him in high school.
I wondered why his ideas struck a chord with my own... like he was
writing my own ideas... I had to undergo first the existential angst
before I decided to "have a religion". So my having a religion is not
really that simple because it is grounded on an existentialist base.)

"Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me; I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.”

"What is a rebel? A man who says NO.”

"We are all special cases."

Camus style: Brief, simple, direct, devastating...

To be continued...
I intend to share my knowledge of other
people's ideas in so far as I AGREE with
theirs & shall write MY OWN later
