I poured over darwin and
jane goodall. Ernest Hemingway and Bettina Aptheker from the coliseum to
stonehenge, today is pete hegseths tribunal for manager of the dept of defense,
as if it matters who's in charge there, where the president has a remote
office, just like at the cia.
Why do we care? Where
does pete hegseth fit in the scheme of right and wrong, democracy and total
authoritarianism?
It's just an
intellectual exercise. A game. It's like arguing the rules of war. Or
international law. Nothing moves slower than moral persuasion, except
maybe glaciation.
If the idea is to
prevent another Hiroshima, My Lai, Wounded Knee, Pearl Harbor, 9/11,
Afghanistan, Iraq, Oct 7th,
Sudan, before the atrocity happens, then where is that solution? Israel is the
perfect example of the institutionalized hubris of the modern nations and LA
fires is the perfect example of the neglect that institutionalized hubris
causes.
Stop Thinking. We are
the original AI. If AI is the intelligence of non-experience, that is, if we're
going to invest our being into a false type of experience because of the fear
generated by knowing (and believing) every possible threat and fear of the
future is imminent, then we become paralyzed, like we are.
Free the incarcerated
firefighters. Why is it so difficult to do the right thing? It shouldn't be
democratic nor republican.
Get rid of eternal
punishment. They are not gods and criminals who pay the punishment price
shouldn't have to have the letter "C" stamped across their
resumes.
Stop believing in the President.
If he (or if it she) were god, would we believe in its existence? No, we would
have our doubts.
It's OK, isn’t it, to
believe you're smarter than the constitution or whatever belief system you were
raised under, to reject that which justifies your killing someone you don’t even
know except by some sort sort of magical transformation of logic or having
someone else kill someone for you?
The constitution is no more than
the revised ten commandments for nation states, which need some authority to
pre-empt the real emptiness of the ten commandments.
And look at what happened with
the ten commandments. Adam and Eve got thrown out of the Garden of Eden, Cain
killed his brother Abel, Noah took his sons wives to bed to repopulate the
earth and every god fearing wanna be human made up their own version
(religion), from the first pope, first king, first follower, first Utah messiah,
just so they could justify their own crimes.
The first savior, Jesus Christ,
was the first big loser because he never wrote on a book nor etched a tablet,
but, unfortunately for him and for us, we got a whole mess of ghost writers and
worse, tyrants and misanthropes who distrust and hate the human race but at the
same time think they are exempt. Basically, they think they’re gods. That’s why
I don’t believe in em.
Stop believing in all this fairy
tale and fear mongering. Anyone who believes that a Virgin Mother wouldn't have
been either stoned or banished and whose son rose again from the dead, the
entire family a coven. In order to be fair, our entire history, in the world,
rome, greece, norway, africa, and asia, and america, is based on the so-called
chronicling of events that supposedly have improved our condition. Jesus,
Mohammed, all the popes, kings, and emperors (and billionaires) have come to us
either as felons or naked as jaybirds, and we've dressed them up in our minds
like Barbies to fit our presumptuous illusions of who we think we are.
Everytime we take a bite to eat,
drink, sit on the toilet we need to remind ourselves that we are no different or
better than the worst of us, so quit contemplating who to blame for whatever is
happening to you. All these "monsters' who believe in their right to not
only exist but to determine who else should exist, will get the same comeuppance
as we will. History may look as if Biden, Netanyahu, Putin, Trump, or Musk, as
examples but certainly not all of these named predators will come out smelling
like roses, but in the end, they'll just leave the same rubble and
destruction in front of us as Hadrian, Charlemagne, Alexander the Great,
Genghis Khan, Hitler, as examples, and who among them, do we actually care
about nowadays anyway?
Take a trip to the Middle East or
Turkey and see the ruins and rubble created by all the great religions and
conquerors of the past.
