can you feel it?
the pulsing wave of chaos?
this shockwave is big.
it’s big like a tsunami is big.
the white, straight, male hegemony has lost control.
the machines don’t have it.
the strongmen don’t have it.
nobody will understand it until long after the wreckage is cleared.
here lies western civilization, a victim of its own success.
blind. deaf. dumb.
epitaph: “didn’t see the forest fore the trees.”
it is a mountain troll. it has no identity. it has no gender. you must stop rendering its image. you must stop giving it a name. you must stop giving it gender. when you give it a name, you wake it up and it comes down from the mountain and destroys everything on its way down. you must forget it. you must make it forget itself. you must take away its power. you must make it fall asleep again. it is a monster. it is a mountain troll.
and i feel fine.
this bear doesn’t participate in the rapey, criminalistic, hyper-capitalized system. but he’s happy to watch the system collapse because the system is broken and dare i say evil? it’s even more broken than it was, if that’s even possible. schadenfreude. i take great joy in the misery of the jocks and bros and the whites and the males and the straights and their hegemony. not only do i not give a fuck for their plight, but i actively worship the economic implosion that they’ve wrought upon themselves.
never have cared. never will care. will always laugh. always. every time.
private equity. ho boy. hardificial schmintelligence. ho ho ho. i’m not your slave. i will defend every person you try to enslave. i will defend every person you try to degrade. i will never work for you and become an enslaver and degrade. sorry, private equity. sorry, plutocrats. or rather, not sorry at all.
we don’t need no water. let the motherfucker burn. burn motherfucker, burn.
you learned a couple of superficial elements of a subject and then you went around telling the whole world you’re an expert. but i see you. i see through you. you know next to nothing and you’re playing with fire. i can’t wait to laugh my ass off when you burn your face off, you fraud. schadenfreude is still my favorite thing.
stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
there are many philosophies and schools of philosophy, each having a specific collection of ideals, attributes, patterns, behaviors and outcomes. there are so many, it’s hard to list.
is there a philosophy that best encompasses the identity “i am a critical thinker”? is there a philosophy for which critical thinking is the primary mode?
meritocracy. good, hardworking americans. loyal, obedient slaves. straight, white, males. the hegemony. not being hired for their skin color, but rather being privileged for it. the rhetoric coming out of the mouth of the father of lies is the color of filth. rapist mcclownface is nothing less than exactly the the lying sack of shit everybody knew it was.
it’s not that anybody wants you to suffer. who am i kidding? of course they want you to suffer! they love watching your suffering. it’s their sickness, you see. they are sadists. they get off on it. in fact they do more than that. they profit from it. and money is god.
feeling pain? feeling pressure? feeling unpleasant emotions? that’s the machine. it doesn’t give a fuck about you. it’s not exactly that you’re a slave. you’re more like a cog. and if you don’t fit it in the machine, so be it.
by the way and by the by. it’s your fault. you let this happen. you are black. you are disabled. your are a lesbian. you are one armed. you are leg less. you are a midget. you are a faggot. you are godless. you are poor. you are stupid. you are hispanic. you are a jew. you are a muslim. you are an indian. you are a native american. you are irish. you are mexican. your are an immigrant. you are …
well. let’s make it easy. let’s be honest. you aren’t a straight, white, male.
who will build the roads? you. who will fix the buildings? you. who will flip the burgers? you. who’s going to do the menial, back-breaking work? you.
it’s your own fault. it’s all your fault.
don’t you recognize that?
you’re fucking pathetic.
it’s your bed. you made it. now lie in it.
… or not. you could — after all — revolt.
after all, they can’t kill you all, can they?

leaders.
leadership.
followers.
foolish.
fools.
if a follows b, and b follows c, then a follows c.
if leaders follows followers, and followers follow fools, then leaders follows fools.
therefore, leadership is foolish.
here’s a concept to chew on and some questions to get myself started.
why does primary thinking result in critical judgement, high quality results, independence, world building and success?
why does secondary thinking result in low quality results, group think, slavery, forgetfulness and failure?
what is primary thinking? critical reasoning, critical thinking, lateral thinking, creative thinking, independent thought, meditation, day dreaming, practicing, playing, singing, interaction, stick-to-it-iveness, observation, experimentation, scientific thinking, altered repetition, conversation, adaptating, flexing, being resilient, comparative thinking, deductive reasoning, syllogisms, inductive reasoning . . .
what is secondary thinking? blind following, rote memorization, self-numbing, self-soothing, prayer, addictive repetition, dopamine surging, dopamine depletion, obsession, compulsion, lust, preacher-congregation learning, power seeking, blind ambition, seeking efficiency, seeking productivity, abdicating self-determination, giving up responsibility, arrogant mistakes, attacking, denigrating, worshipping, blind categorization, stereotyping, making assumptions . . .
these words and definitions make it so fucking obvious . . . it’s almost like i made a list of virtues, biases and fallacies . . . it’s as though the former list were one of thought and progress while the second were the agenda of animalism and trivia . . . these are modes of thinking, not calls to action . . . i worry about (and know the history of) unthinking, secondary-thinkers applying primary-thinking operationally . . . that’s paradoxically a very secondary-thinking thing to do. it results in atrocities like fascism, national socialism, stalinism, maoism . . . then the blind defense against such ideologies with counter-ideologies like nationalism, market capitalism, nihilism, fundamentalism, etc . . . it all makes me shiver a bit with a strong sense of deja vu.
i wonder if my thoughts here have been influenced by daniel kahnemann and amos tversky . . . a bit, but a strict analogy would be a false dichotomy. the structure might be similar, certainly.
“you will work! you will build for us! you will serve us!”
no.
