The world is only origami because there's time for everything except the things worth doing. If I spend all my time concerned with the problems of the world I might end up going insane and start having an appreciation of Andy Warhol's art. (Bad jokes aside) I think that the best path for me to take is a simple one fold at a time. One day I will make something, what, who knows, for now, left corner to right.

All the Angels I Know Put Concrete in My Veins.

Have I been the only one that noticed a back-clash against the Church of Europe after WWI? I noticed this when I was working on the project and looking at the thoughts of Nietzsche and Freud. Both have a negative view of the Church. I was wondering where these anti-church views originated from. It could be that as science advanced religion started to become obsolete like with Darwin. Or it could have been from the extreme tragedy that was WW1. But the views was a common one that god/religion is now dead after WW1. What killed God?

I had put away my labour, and my leisure too, for his civility.

I think that any complex government created purely in theory among many wise philosophers will work, in theory. But I think the problem with theory arises when it is attempted to be but into practice. Humans tend to give other humans the benefit of the doubt. The Communist Manifesto is a great example of this. The book creates a great example of a perfect sounding theory, but when attempted to be put into use it starts to crumble. But it is about the book and not the use of it, so I think the book spent a little to much time telling how to create a perfect utopia but never tells how to fix it when it starts to crumble due to human greed. I think that if the philosophers focused on both sides of ideal government, what is ideal and how to keep it ideal, the book would of helped governments that tried to implemented communist governments from getting corrupt as quickly.     

Not all who wander are lost

The lost generation claim power from being a people who are lost. They claim that the great tragedy that was WW1 made them loss faith. "God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him." During the time the people lost faith both politically and spiritually. This period in time shows a time where people rebelled against the culture before the war and started to try and create there own way of life. This is America is called the roaring twenties. By creating there own way of life and leaving the old way behind, I believe that they were not lost per-say but wandering and creating they own culture.
