Overt Revolution

What I’ve typed below was triggered by a friend of mine telling me that she felt it was “her nature” to distance herself and back off from people if she feels that she has been too open with that person. I was really irked by this, not at her specifically, but just society in general…it made me question why people do this. It made me question what is “too open”? Yes, I admit I have done this and I still do it…but some people do not even question their actions or motives. I typed what is below without editing it, it just came out…it flowed. Forgive me for cursing quite a bit, I suppose I was feeling passionate and, quite frankly, very annoyed…so it came out this way. At the end, I touch on “love” a bit…because my friend also asked a question about it and mentioned something that made me go off on another tangent. Ah well, hopefully someone enjoys and takes something from it…here you go:

Food and medicine are of course also put to their appropriate use in Ignoratia; that is to maintain a general and accepted level of illness. This is perfectly logical, as a healthy body equals a healthy mind and as we have learned from our ancestors healthy minds do not easily become ignorant and therefore cannot be controlled. It is therefore beneficial to the order of things that a diet of wholly synthetic, processed, chemicalized food and drink be consumed. All fresh fruit and vegetables are illegal (unfortunately there is still a huge black-market for these products that we have not been able to fully quash) and home growth is sacrilege. A minimum per day calorie intake is also enforced; our dietary ideology can be summed up by the following maxim:

A hamburger an hour
Keeps illness in power

You see illness is seen almost as a communal right of passage by the people and as everybody they have ever met has always been at least slightly sick it becomes self evident that sickness is as normal as breathing. All herbal treatment (as laughable and ineffective as it obviously is) has still been outlawed, as we of course can’t have people experimenting with those dangers and potentially harming themselves. It is quite simple, as man is the pinnacle of creation the more man [and not a woman] has affected a given thing the better that thing becomes and this is most clearly demonstrated in medicine. The more processed, complicated and confused the treatment the more often it should be applied. As the people are kept totally ignorant of how their bodies actually work and are so petrified of death we can prey upon them to the point that they will drink engine cleaner and eat rat poison and then have the resulting disease treated with more toxic substances as long as we tell them to.

This post will most likely have no logical order. I’m in a rambling mood.

Conversation…talking. Isn’t it amazing how basic the act of talking, of communicating, with another human being is? I spent almost all of my Saturday with a friend…from 1pm or so until 11pm. It felt like an eternity and yet this is such a small chunk of time.

Do you know what we did? We drank tea, sat around and talked. I brought green tea from home…lately I’ve been brewing a cup before leaving to go somewhere. My friend made herself some tea:

Obligatory copy and pasting of my recent tweets(I didn’t forget about you  Tumblr!):

Why is it such a shock to people when they find out you like to teach yourself new things?

Example 1: “Whaat? You’re teaching yourself Japanese? What are you, insane?” Example 2: “Whaat? You want to teach yourself how to play the trombone? What are you, insane?”

Why is it such a bad thing to seek out improvements to one’s self via skills one wouldn’t normally learn with the individuals current life track? This is why decadence is a bad thing people. We, as a culture, get waaaay too lazy. We get too ‘stuck-in-our-ways’ to try anything new, exciting, or unfamiliar. We should all just dance like no one is watching. Do something you wouldn’t normally do, and forget about who is there. Be your perfect self and FUCK anyone/everyone who tells you different. They are the ones bringing our culture down. FUCK them.

Das Energi by Paul Williams. I started reading this a couple of days ago and it truly is something special. I may not agree with every single detail, but it certainly has excellent points and thought-provoking statements. I love it, and I will probably read it more than once.
