Manifesto of a Romantic Family Man Sometimes people get it into their heads that life is like a game where those who pass their genetics win. Perhaps, though I think that overly simplifies biology to a way that indicates some underlying limited comprehension of their consciousness. To me, if there were such a thing as … Continue reading Chapter 3: Manifesto of a Romantic Family Man
Chapter 2: Manifesto of an Entangled Mind
Purple is not a light-wave frequency or neurons firing at a certain frequency. Without consciousness, purple doesn’t exist. This is where I diverge from my critique of religion as a literal concept into accepting there is a reality entangled but separate from that which is traditionally described by scientists. I am not a biochemical machine. … Continue reading Chapter 2: Manifesto of an Entangled Mind
My Absurdist Manifesto
The Introduction Sometimes life doesn’t make sense. This is my critique of “life on life’s terms.” To confuse reality as being the way it ought to be inherently invites injustice and apathy. Thus, and keep in mind here that I admittedly suffer from mental illness, I can’t understand why I am not allowed to point … Continue reading My Absurdist Manifesto
The Quioxotic Cult of Nintendo
(As It Conceptualizes Love and Madness) In the beginning, I started off on the NES. I'm a romantic. My foundation for life is to save the princess; Mario, Zelda, etc.. It took me too long at first to appreciate that Mario had to defeat Donkey Kong to save his casks of wine, beer, cider, pickles, … Continue reading The Quioxotic Cult of Nintendo
Gun Reform Proposal (Updated AUG’24)
Updated 13AUG2024: This is oddly gaining minor traction. It's amusing, but I merely wrote this to vent my frustration. Apparently, in Michigan, shotguns are really not registered and can be sold to a pawn shop with minimal paperwork or whatnot. I think the below crap I wrote misses the bigger problems behind gun-obsessed people. Mostly … Continue reading Gun Reform Proposal (Updated AUG’24)
The Emporer is Naked
I agree with many of the criticisms against woke culture. I know kids go through phases. I get why that may not be a time to let a kid get surgery, hormones, etc. I don't think minors should get boob jobs. I disagree with the woke purists when it comes to children being able to … Continue reading The Emporer is Naked
Why Atlas Didn’t Shrug
“Can you turn off the music. I don’t like that music,” she says. I reach over and turn off BB King with Eric Clapton. I realize we don’t relate well to each other. I want to correct that. She's into Way FM, and Diamond Platinums. The latter tends to sing about leaving the village to … Continue reading Why Atlas Didn’t Shrug
Is there something wrong with me
'Nature vs nurture' honestly misses the point. Some of it is chicken vs egg, but largely I need to deal with the hand I am dealt as I've played it thus far. I am personally capable of thinking beyond my predispositions while learning to cope with the limiting brain damage. Yeah, I learned to cope … Continue reading Is there something wrong with me
Thoughts going into thanksgiving
I can't help but thinking of the flip-side to gratitude going into this Thanksgiving; resentments. I need to deal with resentments by accepting what I can't change. However, sometimes accepting defeat is also self-defeating. I resent alcohol. It's healthy to resent my addictions. I'm not grateful for their existence. Drugs have radically shortened my life … Continue reading Thoughts going into thanksgiving
The Aristocrats
I'm writing a fictional universe where I can't legitimately complain about my financial situation. There, I am the leader of a galaxy far, far, away. I went bankrupt 11 times but live a life of luxury. Meanwhile, a feisty group of entitled people who believe in divine forces start a rebellion for life debt forgiveness … Continue reading The Aristocrats
