    That's is my philosophy. It would be my motto but that spot is taken by Hakuna Matata.

    It means no worries.

    “Being nationalistic in the sense in which it is now demanded by public opinion would, it seems to me, be for us who are more spiritual not mere insipidity but dishonesty, a deliberate deadening of our better will and conscience.”— Nietzsche

    Being a perspectivist, he'd likely also conclude that this quote cannot be truth to everyone, but instead is made true to himself based on his experiences and motivations.

    I can't really because my country doesn't have presidents and I don't think they would allow me to run anywhere else.

    but for a moment, I believed you.

    Becoming president has very little to do with philosophy and a lot with demagogy.

    I live in America most people don't care about the national anthem and not everybody knows the entire song by heart. Most athletes do this because America isn't as great as it once was if great at all, its a country stuck in the past and people are opening there eyes to it. However it is creating a giant distraction as to what is actually going on in America.
