"E.g. one cannot understand existentialism without a certain level of understanding about our culture, instincts and history.": I like to believe that I understand somewhat about everyone who comes to this thread. I don't feel prideful or boastful when I say that--I just feel a bit old. Anything that is unclear or incomplete I am going to challenge. I am not here to praise a Shepard for his boots. On the other hand I will stop cornering you for now because you've answered cleanly: "I know the problems with democracy, but there are no real solutions. Delimma. So you do the best you can with what you got." It is a confused answer steeped in puzzlement but it is a good one, nonetheless. I like it and I think we need to explore it further a bit later... "The ONLY chance we have to survive as a species is massive education." There seems to be an OBJECTIVE PREMISE behind that minor premise. Can you tell me what it is?? Or is it just chatter??
