Express Train to Hell

Dammit, Doc!  How much spare time do you have on your hands, anyway?!

EW's Doc Jensen's weekly LOST exposition this time goes above and beyond the call of duty, reading more like a philosophy grad student thesis than a "teaser."

Playing off the core ideology of the philosphers Nietzsche and Kierkegaard, he presents the theory of what's going on, which will quite simply blow your mind, and might actually make you want to pick up a book and read some of this stuff.  Well, if you've got as much time as the Doc perhaps!

If only there was a place in the world â?? an Island in the South
Pacific, perhaps â?? where time could stand still, where we could retreat
to ponder the forces that have shaped our lives and remake ourselves
into better, self-actualized individuals that exist in harmony with
ourselves, our fellow man, and our environment. And then, after this
long, self-improving time-out, we could rejoin the world as we left it,
better equipped to live more loving, reasonable, and faithful lives.

I'm going to go back and read that again, and then go join a monastery or something.  There are some spoilerish aspects to the article, so fair warning.
