Musings and Such

1. The trouble with imperialism is essentially the same as the problem with disco. It is a proven erroneous enterprise, seemingly diminishing the overall caliber of the human experience; a cumbersome boulder of inequity tethered to consciousness.  These new imperialists, these apparent beacons shining out in only one direction at a time, and also from a point behind and beyond them, dazzle masses and plant hollow seeds of hollow hope in the hollow hearts of hollow fools. Yet this spectacle is only entertaining to they who think not to move enough paces to either side in scrutiny to see that there is no light emanating from this beacon at all, but THROUGH them. From whence then, does this glow originate, and who orchestrates…



2. Motives clutter up every act.



3. We who linger in homesickness, either have one of three afflictions: we have yet to find such a home in the course of our lives, or we harbor an irresolvable envy of the existences of ourselves as children, or worse, there is not a home for us. The first should breed optimism as it makes for a search that will strengthen us. The second demands of us introspection that may result in growth, and thus maintains the air of hope. The third only makes us fortunate for our inability to determine the cause for our homesickness.



4. Faith in the word of an individual is lost, and this loss is accompanied by a detrimental fickleness, and the combination of these two inequities has drudged up an opportunity for misery, credibility can never be regained. However, the misery is only the reminder and not the basis for such grudges.



5. (#2 continued…) This can be either an egoism or an emotivism or something altogether different. However the stigma attached to such umbrellas of fallacy does not diminish the truth of it.



6. Truth is subjective. Thusly, it is purely a component of conjecture. However, this fallacy is the most precious commodity known to man, and it must be regarded as such. Ah, the invaluability of the dubious.



7. Most aspects of human experience are tantamount to war. When one has waged war upon himself, he must play the righteous outside imperial nation to his two entrenched halves and lend tactical support to the side whose victory he can make most use of. This makes him a self-serving bastard, but at the very least a clever one.



8. The assumed intent of another’s words, which one has no right to in the first place, deny his words to stand alone and thus makes them useless.



9. On the ongoing protests against unscrupulous business practices called “Occupy Wall Street”, while it warms the rebellious heart to see any activity at all reminding us that people are still capable of perceiving injustice in the 21st century, it is foolish to ask for justice from the very culprits of injustice. It is tantamount to being robbed on the street, tracking down your assailant, apprehending him, escorting him to a casino, handing him more money and instructing him to win back what he stole from you. Through logic, one can see that no man in a seat of power within our global economy and no one within any modern government is to be trusted, expected to be just, and because of this, employed at all.



10. I had a conversation with a philosopher on metaphysics. Before engaging in the conversation, I felt I had no understanding of metaphysics. After completing the conversation, I realized there was no understanding of metaphysics to be had. The one useful tenant of logical positivism, is that that which is no provable is essentially useless. However, it must continue to be discussed, lest man dream up even more dubitable conceptualizations. The last thing mankind needs is a new deity to pander to.
