Glenn Beck vs. The Citadel: Who Announced Plans for a Libertarian Commune Better?

10. You really are a bit enlightened, aren't you.

My recent favourite was "Beyond Scared Strait". So far as I could tell, the show brought forth scenes of systematic child abuse within the prison industrial complex, for pleasures I myself legally enjoy (smoking pot). Favourite because it revealed the true state of our psyches.

The other morning I woke up and lit up a cigarette. I asked my partner why I was doing it, as we stood around with our morning coffee smoking and daydreaming. I freaked out, because it hit me suddenly that my life was a daydream, and the Internet is all of our collective daydream. We're all now in a dream from which it is unlikely we will awaken.

I'll tell you where I find pleasure in it all: Science, raw and naked. The truth which doesn't care whether you believe in it or not. Yes, we all want to watch it burn in a way. The reality of the human condition is biological, and we've been systematically cut off from nature where fight or flight, blood and glory, will and love, are the law. Being able to surrender to these things beyond our control - that's the beauty of embracing science. The answers given to us by rational pursuit of understanding nature and the universe will supersede whatever humans believe, even if every single one of us believes to the contrary. (What all the perception control political tards don't grasp) The core moral beautiful realities of science don't go away even when the majority stops believing in them.

So yes, when I look at the world, one part of me is horrified. But another, deeper part of my is bored.

Let's party.

Peace.
