There are few professions in this skeewiff world of ours that offer the opportunity to speak freely on any topic you choose.
Which is odd considering we've been proclaiming freedom as the goal of all humanity-onya Dubya.
In any event music and comedy are the two main contenders in my mind. Art has the same potential but requires more engagement on the receivers behalf. In fact now i think about it any kind of creative activity has the potential for such free discussion of ideas.
But today my thoughts are focused on but one for ""A habit cannot be thrown out the window, it must be coaxed down the stairs one step at a time." Quite right Mr Clemens so baby steps you cant control the birds, you will one day but not yet. I dont understand people man.
Or maybe it's that i just began to understand the meandering routines of the baby boomers and now there's a whole bunch of teched out kids coming up into the business world.. coming in on monday after a chemically induced bender to figure out how they're going to convince us we need orange flavour on our toothpaste. (Seriously what the fuck).
Shit's all wrong...500 or so years ago the Church was the authoritarian figure on reality...We weren't to question and those who did were burned at the stake or something.
Then we started gettin suss on all these shifty cardinals breaking Gods law...confusion! Anarchy! These divine contacts between us and God do not adhere to the laws which govern reality? Shockk horror what are we to do!
The security of 'knowing' we were the center of the universe fell away and once again we were left to ponder existance... now whilst the questioning minds of science went off in search of answers we busied ourselves by taking control of this planet on which we found ourselves.
As we went about pillaging resources to make ourselves feel safer the sillouetted reality became more dense and the mysterious aspects of life have been pushed away.
To maintain this illusion of a mechanical existance the stereotypes perpetuated by mainstream media deny any evidence to the contrary...we've adopted an attitude of absolute skepticism despite us having absolutley no understanding of the big picture what so ever.
This secular preoccupation is idiotic. So manufactured has reality become that we no longer even care about any kind of purpose. The short term satisfaction we gain from adhering to some level of social acceptance is enough to push us onto our next distraction and so it goes. Slaving away so we can afford the next purchase, maintaing some form of aesthetic aplomb.
Popularity and success warrant admiration from others and people feel empowered and energised by such short term jubilation. Soon what is defined as cool and successful by the dominating media will change....shit, now we gots ta change to...
But a few queries have been bouncing around my melon head as of late, not that that's anything new but it's been a fucking odd couple of days so it's time for some skewiff reflection.
Einsteins theory of relatvity basically tells us that the universe is subjective. each individuals interpretation of the world will differ based on their own experiences..all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration..science says so.
But i have a little problem with science, science addresses quantitative questions: "What does it do?", "By what means?", and "To what extent?", rather than the "For what purpose?".
What, how and how much...never why.
Is why not important? Surely purpose is something worth pondering.
And yet a brief look around society indicates we don't care, we're more than happy to busy ourselves working longer hours to buy more stuff we dont have time to make ourselves comfortable with
If you were an alien watching all this activity on this rock of ours would you not be amused at human behaviour?
you don't even have to be an alien, the fuck you think the monkeys are laughin at all the time?
In any event there is some next level shit goin on and i dont get wh big brother is more interesting...Einstein once said there are only two ways to live your life, as though nothing is a miracle or as if everything is.
We defined what a miracle was and then decided complete and utter bewilderment regarding our own existance ain't evidence of magic
Within the reality i know something doesn't exist until i interact with it in some way..the tree falls and if im not there i dont hear it.
Money takes on similar qualities, as does anything that is assigned any form of 'value', the subjectivity of which is inherent in its very meaning.
And yet money governs existance...it determines who we admire, whose opinions we should respect and who is a successful human being...at some point we concluded that personal qualaties could be summarised by a single electronic number representing money which will never physically exist and we've been working on our own numbers ever since
Any and all physical and mental feelngs we experience are the result of chemical reactions in the brain, thoughts can affect the physical state...we produce numerous neurotransmitters that are illegal in certain forms..opiods that occur naturally in our heads are against the law to synthesize.
Dopamine, seretonin, dimethyltryptamine, oxidised adrenaline, cannabinoids and probably countless other monoamines all exist within us..how strange....i had a point once..
