Okay, no more Billy vs' everyone stuff please. Let's move on.

To speak more on the "sheep mentality." I don't know much about Manson's philosophical approach, but if it encorporated a sense of nihilism, then I can possibly explain it through a more existential approach. As I stated earlier, I don't know much about nihilism other than it's birthing from existentialist and absurdists (to an extent).

Anywho...the main discussion amongst existentialist, indeed its very philosophical outlook, is concerning the individual to the upmost extreme. Who am I compared to you? And vice versa. Now, through all the babble, one is bound to come across the idea that: being that there are no 100% gaurantees with life, one must evaluate the aspects of life. I have no proof that I exist a full 100%, but if I had to evaluate the probability of my existence, I'd say it's about 99.9999999999999999999%. But what does that tell me about you? Well, I think you (JellyBrat) probably exist as well. But, I don't know if you're a person or an intelligent animal or alien or a computer...I don't know if you're really male or female...or any of that other jive. So, if I had to evaluate the probability of your existence (for indeed, I know you exist in some manner), I'd have to give it a 99.977777777%. An evalutation of a 99.98888888888% would be reservered for individuals such as those you are "close with" (i.e. family, lovers, friends). There's a good chance they exist, but there's no gaurantee. And even as such, do you really know your boyfriend? No, for you are not your boyfriend.

So, how does that correlate to the "sheep mentality?" From an existential approach, one is left to look at all its subjects in relation to its objective sense of worth. For example: I am a male, I am 25, I am an American, I live in Ohio, I have two parents who aren't divorced, I smoke, I drink, I love metal music, I play instruments, I write splatterpunk, I like chinese food, I prefer cats over dogs, and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. All those tiny little things we rarely think about make up who we are. But even then, who are we? The man I'll be 20 years from now isn't that man I am today...so, who am I?

In order to better grasp this ordeal, we often seek out individuals who share similiar subjects. Cliques, lovers, friends, etc. All those who don't fit within this mold...well, they're sense of worth (to my objective approach) is obviously less. For example, what the fuck do I care about people living in Greenland?

This is why Nietzsche (perhaps the greatest philosopher ever, and indeed the most important of existential thinkers) was used and abused by the Nazi party. (FYI, Nietzsche died in 1899 I do believe...so, obviously he wasn't a Nazi...however, some Nietzsche's earlier works did objectify the awesomeness that was the German people...but his rationale was like I stated above...Germans are great because he is a German, and not English, or Japanese...like with like).

Anywho...as we have no gaurantee that anyone exists, but the probability that someone else exists is lower in percentage; and being that the subjects are what define us and we seek to find those of similarity....what sense of worth do others have? Obviously, less.
