1.            After our discussion and exchanging of our thoughts it was generally agreed that humans (taker sector of mankind) have some culpability to the destruction and future inevitable crashing and termination of the planet and all that resides on it. The varying degrees of human responsibility for this past and ongoing destruction is where there were differing opinions.

2.       The discussion of Ishmael and the narrator both lamenting over the loss of time and reaching each other so late in life was an idea that was generally agreed as true. There are a few reasons, but the most popular reason would be is that with younger people they are lulled to the numbness by the song and music of Mother Culture and have not been shackled by the chains of daily taker culture.

3.               Overall there was some agreement to us identify and recognizing ourselves in Kurt and the feeling that “something was not right with the world” the scale of that “something “ is where we had different views, I don't believe that we are living in a “ matrix “ world and we need to unplug in order to be our true self, I believe that we can create a world of Utopia is naive, even during the height of leaver reign and even now in the pockets of leaver culture that exist there still needs to be leaders and rules that govern society.

4. Although the stress of life can have adverse effects on the human mind and the individuals who are unable to maneuver through this difficult time turn to other means to alleviate their “reality” there are tools that man has develop to tackle and deal with these situations such as resiliency and adaptability without the use of substances.
