Perhaps it's not me who has a rage problem, but rather society that has a stupidity problem.



A new idea will firstly become denounced as being ridiculous

Secondly there are many fights against it

And finally all people were in favour of that from the early beginning

-Some guy explaining Arthur Schopenhauer in a film

You see I have always felt ridiculous, and even got confused with the "coolness" of being weird, and all of the gross intangibles in which that operation encompasses.  My mother always said I was very logical and over the years I have developed a major distrust of the establishment... all of it warranted I believe.

Basically, I do wish we could all get along and do the right thing for each other... live in harmony so to say, but that would be bad for business, and business is good for society, so we all innately know, and the most important thing is tax breaks and taking away things from other people that we don't have, and using force to make people think the way we think they ought to... Did I just go off the deep end?  I don't think I did actually, I think I'm calling it like it is actually.

We live in strange times, we are the generation, "they say" who's standard of living will be less than our parents...  I think one still has choices and the word "standard of living" is more than number on a graph.  For example, one's standard of not watching television and engaging in events with like minded community members that require physical and mental participation is something perhaps not seen on a graph.  I mean I don't want to get all positive and ruin a good rage, if you know what I mean... who knows what anybody means in this mosaic of regurgitated catchphrases... what does that mean? My point being is that some of the happiest people i know, and the funnest to be around, don't have a lot of money, and the wealthiest people i know, i can't say the same about.

Legions of registered voters want to kill science and let GOD show us the way as they drive air conditioned cars to church, perhaps never thinking about the feat of mechanical engineering that made it all possible.  It's like thinking in a vacuume... remember when the first people attempting flight were in bird suits... lets do a search... fucking killer check this:

This is awesome and shows the point... notice how the student of the pro has to leap off the platform while the pro shouts advise:




You see, it didn't work and it never will, and no prayer can ever make it.  Now I’m not saying prayer has no use at all... probably good for focusing and reminding one on what's important as they live out their day, or at least what they think is important.  The point being, it was science... recording what is, checking that data, and coming up with a new plan that made flight for humans possible.

(actually is should be noted that technology has now developed a suit where you can dive off a mountain top and glide down at top speed... just don't make a mistake)

When I was a kid I remember praying, but mostly I was trying to get something I didn't deserve, and since knelling closing my eyes and putting a few words out to some being it was believed could make or break your flow, was an easy few minute job, I felt the rewards could possibly be worth the minimal effort.

The argument is probably along the lines. For a prayer to work you need to mean it.  I actually believe that... but in my world it's more a matter of living life to a certain standard in how you treat people and how you do things, and why, and you will end up in a situation where you are blessed.  I imagine a wonderful religious person praying for happiness for all, and then greeting all with a sense of happiness and having that reciprocated back... warm happy people are fun to be around.

I love the fact that I have a video of a gullible sucker in a bird suit jumping off a platform and accelerating towards the ground at 9.81 m/s2  . The real problem is that our populations of “consumers” are in that bird suit and we are standing at the edge of a very tall cliff and the people in charge are saying... OK you go now.

When you break down arguments it's really insane to see what people are against and why, and in most of the cases it's because they don't really know what the fuck they are talking about... just air going over lips.  If there was a science political party, with the right funding I’m sure you could have somebody explain that 5x5 is indeed 26, and you could probably get enough supporters to in one way or another affect the outcome of an election thus giving way to all manor of debate.  All the while people in power might decide going to school is too dangerous so instead of educating children we need armed solders on every street corner, and in an unrelated bill it appears that meetings of 4 or more people are now banned and any solider that see's such a thing is authorized to use maximum force to enforce the law.  Did I go off the deep end there... perhaps time will tell.
