a study of humanity (part 4)

grilled breakfast sandwiches, a glimpse of the end of the road for toyota, internet porn, football player proselytizers, fried dead cow patties on buns, preachers arrested for soliciting prostitutes, curdled cow fat on baked bread, 12 year old girls handcuffed and carted out of school for doodling, do unto others as you want them to do, sugar and fat and flour baked with chocolate, excitement over finding video of the challenger exploding, fear the loving god, fried anything, hypocrisy and mental illness everything, and you were distracted by the accident you saw on the way to church… which gets the biggest rise out of you... and why...

what a waste of the potential of the human brain…

humans believe in can’ts and weakness and hate and above all else, fear more than anything else, so they consume delusional explanations and irrational hypocrisy because everybody else does and communal delusions present a placebo to quell the fears…

what a waste of the potential of human life…

meanwhile, if you can get past the depression that such realization can bring, you just might find the amusements available to the awakened mind in this experience of life in this universe…

staring up at the stars each night, do you realize that many of them are not really there because they went supernova (blew up) millions or even billions of years ago?... all you see are the light, like messages in bottles, that was sent out in all directions before humans ever walked on this planet, in some cases, before this planet was even here…

and if that concept does not amuse you, how about the fascination with female breasts?... is it some infantile imprinting that draws most human males to sexual arousal when presented with huge mammary glands, the bigger the better, and yet, most of the same human males are repulsed by fat on most any other part of the female body (though buttocks fat seems to draw an audience)… belly fat, however or neck fat or leg fat, now that is considered unattractive…

but the fat puzzle is not nearly as puzzling (or titillating, perhaps) as the fascination with innocence, virgins, young flesh just a few years past puberty or closer, even… just look at the popular arts, film, tv, music, and if you pretend you don’t see the sexualization of children that sells so well, you may be among the majority of hypocrites condemning in public what you crave and even do in private…

and then there is the phenomenon of legalized poisons, big business and popular pastimes, while condemning and imprisoning and fighting a war on other poisons, some of which are a lot less harmful than your legal poisons… how much money, time, energy, and human life is spent on buying and using the legal poisons and still more money, time, energy, and human life spent on fighting and jailing those who choose the illegal poisons… you need to be irrational and delusional to make sense of it…

all the while, children starve all over the world… earth’s resources and human energy is wasted while children die of starvation and greed and power trips all over the world… from the wealth in the land of the free where children suffer as pawns in divorce, as playthings for adults who want to control anything they can or for priests and parents who condemn their own sexuality while failing to repress their sexual attraction to their children… to the poverty of countries oppressed and condemned by the wealthy nations to remain ignorant and behind the times because we can’t have too many countries equally powerful, especially when they don’t believe in the same delusions and ways of perceiving life and the universe and the unknown that we buy into…

few want to see that the the rich choose to let the poor starve, physically and mentally, while pushing spirituality on them as the answer to all the problems the rich create and ignore… the rich do not want to see it because they do not want to share or lose what they have… the poor don’t want to see it because who wants to face their own powerlessness and abuse…

what a study of humanity shows is that as long as there is the slightest illusion of control, of choice (and what is our cheap consumer culture if not a feast of choice), then the poor are placated and the imbalanced delusions that facilitate oppression can continue… because the fear of loss of control is more powerful than the unpleasantness and cruelty of poverty and illness and suffering of any kind…

if this is pessimistic, prove me wrong...

yahoo farted

a long long time ago in a land far far away, or maybe somewhere else, i created an account on yahoo dot com and within the first year the account was somehow corrupted and yahoo support (which is a very misused word) told me they could do nothing and the carefully thought up user name (aka ID, alias, handle, identity, and so on) could not be used because they refused to clear the account and free the user name for me to use (not very supportive of yahoo support, aye?)... the first user name was sharetruth...

so i took the time to carefully ponder and come up with another nearly perfect user name (ID, alias, handle, identity) and the same thing happened again... yes, corrupted account, not support from yahoo support... the second user name was childinside...

so i created a third user name without as much thought cuz the whole concept of personalizing a user name (ID, alias, handle, identity) and almost ten years later, after creating hundreds of yahoo groups (actually created long before yahoo bought the company, egoups, which bought the company where i first created the groups) and spending many seasons playing fantasy sports achieving a relatively meaningless, but nevertheless impressive record, and creating much more supposedly permanent pages, additional aliases, an email address, and more, after almost ten years of devoting way too much time online to trusting yahoo, it happened again... that was more than a year ago... i have not been back to yahoo since... the third user name was yawhofarted...

i wasn't going to give yahoo a chance to fart on me again...
