The Game

More world-changing tech in the news...and we keep finding old stuff to go with the new...

More revelatory accounts of treachery.... this is the Information Age after all.

For those who grew up while the power structure was still a viable way of life - its hard to know where you won't get ripped off these days. These corpo-people...they are only interested in one thing...

Playing, and winning, the game.

They're on the hunt, and you've got the meat... and they all can tell you where to put it...

If they can just print it off for these guys, cant we just do the same for stuff like this?

Isn't money, as per the policy of both the Governement and the guys who make the money - free?

Money is free. As of right now. The best explanation in the world doesn't change fact.

Ah, business.....Business is good....business is up.

You know, Business runs on contracts....And when you start figuring out contracts...and how they affect your everyday life...

Well, things just start to get a little weird, as they always have.

Arguments and Repetitions

The tough part about learning things, again, is that it changes you.

In essence, learning is an exercise in self-immolation; once completed, you rise anew from the ashes of your former self, and by extension, your former reality.

Bad Religion says: "Everyone is a hypocrite." In that vein, I'll admit that I find myself agreeing with a lot of the arguments made for societal control, selective breeding and sterilization, population control... My instinct is to be repulsed by these concepts and their practical application... But the more you read, the more you learn - your perspective slowly shifts outward until you gain that macro perspective I've been talking about... The perspective needed to oversee the direction of the human species (talk about arrogant!)...The one that is needed to make 'painful sacrifices'...

The perspective that allows you to justify inhuman behavior, up to and including the torturous murder of fellow human beings - in the name of logic, of course.

For example...I've posted this link a few times already, but do you know who this guy is? If not, look him up. Right here. He is a fairly influential figure.

Anyway, I'm repeating myself: It is easy to convince yourself of something, even easier to let someone else convince you. Especially if the convincers have letters next to their name or lots of money, or both....

My argument goes as follows: Business logic, theoretical economics, macro-level societal planning - no matter how well-presented - all must stop dead at the brick wall of the real world.

The only other option is insanity: A world where we sell guns and bombs to other countries so they can kill each other - because it's good business. Where we work feverishly to create the most horrendously murderous agents known to man, and endeavor to release them - because it's good for the species. Where we joke about shooting innocent women and children, where God's acolytes deal in rape, where humans are garbage and cash rules.

Again - lots of repeating going on today - I understand the arguments, and I understand how their logic leads inexorably to our present situation. I also understand that they cleary believe themselves to be 'advanced' humankind - so intelligent, so all-seeing, that they take it upon themselves to re-write the laws of nature with their deceptive language...and muck about in places they shouldn't...and all because they had the inclination. Because they decided.

They are wrong - dead wrong. They are the opposite of advanced - they have allowed fundamentally flawed thinking corrupt their true, humane nature.

They have regarded our hardwired predisposition to non-violence as an unfortunate obstacle, to be overcome through desensitization (scroll down)...and after a while, art starts to imitate life again, and things get weird....

And that about brings us up to speed.

Pressure drop

A setting sun requests that I leave some encouraging words as a final post today...I know they are few and far between...

But like anything else, what we lack, we can create -

Secrets are being discovered all the time... secrets that can help you.

Real magic that can heal the sick and nourish the helpless.

There are people out there working tirelessly to promote truth, save lives, and generally help out...in a time when we really need it.

And of course, there is hilarity like this.

Down she goes...

While the real world, the one that we live in, crumbles in every way imaginable - the world of make-believe gets more and more threatening.

I say make-believe because it's easy to twist truth into bullshit if you know how to do it.

As for complicity...Some of us will do anything to keep our eyes on the illusion and away from the truth.

Close, Closer

Just putting it out there...but things are moving pretty quick.

And 90 percent of the time, when something moves quick, it does so out of nervousness, anxiety - fear. 10 percent of time, things move quick, act decisively, out of confidence.

So Ill take these blatancies for what they are, and do my best to stay the hell out of the way.

Damage Control in a Damaged World

Remember Watergate? I wasn't alive, but it seems like it was a big deal at the time.

That shit is quaint now. These days, you cant go three days without some flailing attempt at damage control over one atrocity or another.

Things are looking bad in the American cities, but dig around and you see that it's even worse behind the scenes... Here is a bit of an eye-opener. Does it need to be pointed out that no "scamster" would ever try to pass over 130 billion of forged treasury notes? That is macro-level stuff. Other people might be looking into doing the same thing. Very embarassing for everyone involved. I wouldn't be surprised to see some unpleasant things happen to Japan in the near future...

Joe Average doesnt do much reading. But he will be as informed as he needs to be once the poison works it's way through the system....systemic...great word. Systemic failure.

Because first the big ones fall and then, slowly but surely, everything joins in the cacophany of destruction that leaves an ocean of rubble in its wake...too new to decay....a perfect sea of diamond dust.
