More ww-philosophy...

Heidegger: Everyone is "thrown-in-to-the-world" with no chance to dictate his/her role - and their views are controlled by others (das man), thence the bandwaggons everyone wishes to join with - to not take a stance or claim on their authentic "being-towards-death".

Nietzsche: "The Super Men" decide the views of others... the herd-mentality is the common denominator of the crowd not able to think for themselves.

Sartre: Everyone is tied by their liberty to choose... oh crap, it's the Mod who chooses that.

Tolkien: You must choose what to do with the role you have been given...

Marx & Engels: It's the unfair system where some have (knowledge) and some do not, that oppresses the ordos: The baddies want to keep the ordos disarrayed and to fight among themselves and not to make a revolution.

Kierkegaard: You just have to make a leap of faith to trust someone in a game.

Adam Smith: It tends to end up just fine for everyone when everyone just drives for their personal good.

Hegel: It tends to get right, whatever people do, because of the "cunningness of reason" itself.
