There are those, here, there...everywhere, who think. think!! they engage in existential thought, they question the world they live in. they question society, even their own very thoughts, as being a product of said society.
They understand that everything exists in dimensions...there is no such thing as a line of thought. It is a plane, gently undulating, with infinite shapes depending on each way you look at it. Absolute truth does not exist, only absolute thoughts.
What does it mean to say 'absolute thoughts'? It seems easy enough to put it down...it looks all nice and shiny in contrast to absolute truth, but what does it mean? This is the trap of the so-called intelligentsia: re-defining things into new terms so that only people who think the way that you do can understand them. And consequently, to the 'ordinary' mind, you seem superior. you know something they do not. apparently.

Absolute Thought: The existence of thought such that you find yourself in a position where you can see every shape that thought can hold.

It is, therefore, near impossible. yet we strive. Or i strive, at the least. I am not of the intelligentsia. I am not of anything at all.

Yet I am a product of society.

We are all explained, even in our rebellion. It is a belief that we hold that something is wrong. We cannot pin point it sometimes, and sometimes we can. I have my own idea regarding this, which i shall not belabour you with here. We all share this...not just the intelligentsia, or any other class of society, but everyone. Ask anyone, and if they look deep enough inside they will find that the thought that something is wrong resonates within...somewhere. It is true...and if you think for long enough you find that you cannot deny its truth. And when i say ask anyone...i do mean anyone. Even the man with the big house, three cars, loving family. drive him out to an open field..and ask him. and then leave him there.
there is only one answer.
there is something wrong.

And we, the so-called rebels of society, are the only ones who act on our 'gut-feeling'. Or at the very least we strive to articulate it, to bring it to conscious thought in everything we do.

Yet We are products of this society we strive to understand in terms of absolute thought...to understand from every angle, even those which have not been driven into our heads since the day we were born. We are the allowable error. We are the negligible imperfect products of the Culture machine. Every generation must have them. Millions of them, even....and yet negligible.
