But I would argue that the average man is now more uneducated that ever to learn for themselves, and in fact less in charge of his own free will and conscious decision that ever before in todays world. Outside inference and the desire to conform will always restrict human freedom and ability to learn for oneself.

With mass marketing, mass culture, and a global worldspace, the individual has less rights to express their individuality than ever before. Without taking heavy cues from outside stimuli, the presentation of that stimuli is cleverly wrapped in modern euphenisms and brandism presented through mass media, the individual has lost the ability to think for their own without looking to outside cues. Even these 'unconscious' thoughts that we all have are in fact filtered through multiple streams and traffic light systems enforced by todays society.

What is truly my thought? what is truly your thought? or what has really been prepackaged and wrapped up into how we should think, how we should act and how we should behave given certain circumstance?

Religion is for those who feel a need for justice. I mean how self righeous would you be if you "knew" that when all was said and done the evil would be punished, and the good would be rewarded? answer: Very. Wouldn't that give you some sort of reason to continue to do what you are doing? As opposed to the somewhat irrational I will be a good person because I feel like it with absolutely nothing backing it up at all.

There is no justice in this world and for those who were born with a strong sense of it, you have my pity.

On the contrary Gordon

man has always built on the knowledge that has come before him, for wasn't it Sir Isaac Newton who said "If I see further, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants"

Man has been given more freedom through democracy to express himself than ever before without out fear of retribution.

There is nothing stopping you from forming your own religion, floating a bank, creating a political movement etc etc.

certainly your thoughts have been formed by previous thoughts and experiences but that is par for the course, in fact I would argue that you could not form your own thoughts with out the previous knowledge doled out by others.

This is why Western civilisation has become so advanced because knowledge is in the hands of all people and not a select few.

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
