New Spins on Old Crap, Obtuse and innacurate thesises, mental sponging, and mindless dribble can all be found here. But not always.

Mentally Cascading into Nowhere




Due to recent debates I've had in my life, along with readings, articles, statistics I've come across; I have realized there is no Absolute Truth to anything. Merely different wavelengths of the truth, call them variations, p.o.v's whatever you want. Scientifically speaking, the mere observation of a subject changes that subject's reaction to the events happening to it. Crazy? Maybe, but that is debatable for another time. So far things stated here aren't anything new or transcending, so why speak about it? Glad you asked.

More mental digression will be present in this obtuse and inaccurate thesis that I will unveil. For no one has experienced the same life I have, even people witnessing the same events as me remember it differently. Human Nature refuses to bend to another's will whether that be nature or another living organism. This I feel is the cornerstone to every single achievement and horror to have been unleashed on this world. Even in true "democracy" where every person counts and matters, a person must insert their viewpoint and debate it. Why let other people decide your fate? That is a question no one has a good answer to and the realization that there is no good answer means your brain is sinking into its basest components. For some nice circular logic how about this: we believe what we believe because it's what we believe. Sounds ridiculous but this is the logical argument 90% of people use to argue their belief whatever it may be.

Can we break this base thinking and expound our mental capacities to think in broader scopes? I truly believe that we cannot, bleak as it is, without a evolutionary spark to change homo sapiens there will not be an end. Even this may not be the answer, if every human looked the exact same in every way and maintained the same beliefs has every other single human we would still find a difference. Example, I live on the east bank of a river, you live on the west bank therefore you are different and I will kill you if I must. All the logical reasoning powers that humans posses have still not allowed for anyone to overcome the animal that lies within. In fact the people that embrace and accept this animal in us that overrides logical thought (be it in certain contexts) are people in power and very successful.

Altruism and Idealism are luxuries of the powerful and the bait used to make people without power to believe that they matter. For the real luxury of true power is the ability to relinquish power without loss to your own and recoup it at moment's notice. Disagree? Good. You may say, what about leaders who have proven that people can overcome...My question is where are they now? Gandhi was assassinated, so was MLK, Joan of Arc burned at the stake. Eventually all of them become pages in history and the people in power redouble efforts and with the modernization that has taken place in the last 50 yrs there can no longer be such a force to develop, at least not in the USA.

So reach in deep and pull on the tail of your inner animal. Get mean and dirty, feel the raw power surge through your veins as the ancestry of a thousand years and brutality are summoned up to propel you to the top of the food chain. "Buy the ticket...Take the ride".
