Hi CG,
No I didn't. But I don't believe the world is standing
on the back of a turtle or that some old white guy made
it in a week or that you come back as your grandaughter's
great nephew either, so.
The overwhelming majority are basically good people and
not being able to complete a thought without touching their
genitalia isn't necessarily all bad.
The problem is that the information you get easily, is full
of holes, distorted by viewpoints, missing important
contexts, and then swings through the windmills of your
particular mind which isn't just a quagmire of every
prejudice and preconception you have; but, joins in with
every freaky thing that ever happened to you and what that
did to you that you can't remember.
It doesn't escape most people for long that every idea they
had before they really knew what they were talking about was
squirmingly embarassing bullcrap best forgotten (which
people with high self esteem do efficiently and people with
low self esteem don't do at all). Besides, most people
aren't looking for the facts themselves so much as how the
use of those facts fit into their personal goals. Such as
getting along with their groups or pursuing successful
mating strategies as examples.
It's all about the individual anyways in that events and
situations that don't impact our lives aren't functionally
important to us. And those that do impact our lives have
as much chance of remaining unchanged by us as a moth has
of flying to the moon.
The earth wasn't the centre of the universe regardless of
how many people were put to death.
But I am. And if I were you I would still believe that.
This doesn't bring up the question of style but I'm going
to talk about that next anyway. Someone is judging
you and it's someone you know as well as a blind man knows
an elephant. Which is why you never wonder why you do the
things you do. There isn't much time really given the
dealing with all the garbage coming out of everybody else.
So this person loses money and becomes bitter, and this
person can't bear to sell a stock when it's below cost, and
this person thinks everything is wonderful, and this
person thinks investing is a cause, and this person can't
even stay on topic, and this person spends unusual amounts
of time in the bathroom.
SO WHAT?
So you're all full of crap.
And so am I.
...
Went to the beach. It was really hot. Some of the women
took their tops off. That's legal now. Just like men.
Nipples. We've all got 'em. In previous centuries they
might have been put to death.
That's the planet you're investing in. Good luck.
