  • I do see your angle, and agree it can be interpreted this way, but I’m not sure I’m convinced this was intentional, or that a significant number of people had the same take away. If Cameron had the Patriot Act in mind (which he certainly could have), I feel it’s more likely that he made a weak attempt at showing us that it’s bad to use such power, rather than a veiled attempt to say “but sometimes it’s ok”.

    To each their own though! Thank you for sharing this perspective.






  • Marker will look good for now, but in a couple of weeks it will probably be fairly noticeable again if you’re doing it straight on wood.

    If you want it to look good. Sand down the area inside and directly around the chip so that it’s smooth. Brush on a layer of white primer, let it dry for a day, then layer on some paint in whatever color and finish of the guitar. Maybe some sealer if you want but if it’s just a chip I don’t think it’s necessary.

    It sounds like a lot of work but it’s maybe an hour or two of actually doing anything, and for a thousand dollar guitar I’d say it’s worth it. I like projects like this, though, maybe you’re ok with the slightly faded Sharpie. I would still smooth the area out with some light sanding first, though.



  • They aren’t challenging the metaphor at all with their statement. They’re showing you that the entire premise is garbage, because within your metaphor, “Abolish the fire in my house” ≠ “Put out that one fire in my house”.

    The metaphor is… Ok, I guess, if not a gross oversimplification, but your post and energy in the comments just scream “debate me bro” when it doesn’t seem like you’ve got the maturity for even a normal conversation. Like you maybe just found your first Ben Shapiro video or something.


  • I think a big flaw in your thinking is that you aren’t considering that we still have all the people currently living to take into consideration. We wouldn’t be instantly reduced to a tiny population that is easy to restructure and organize, there’s still like 8b people on the planet, and none of the ones in charge are going to just say, “oh, well I guess none of this matters anymore, let’s focus on sustainability”.

    It would take a couple years for us to see a significant decrease in population, and all the while, those currently in power would remain in power. We wouldn’t suddenly drop to a few thousand like minded individuals, all ready to work together to rebuild. We’d be a declining population that is scared and clueless how to save itself, making mistake after mistake.
