Greetings good citizen, Once again Friday is upon us and we look forward to enjoying what remains of the brief Summer season. Global warming or no, Fall isn't tardy in this neck of the woods and Winter is more than a little too long for someone that doesn't enjoy ice or snow.
But you play the hand you're dealt.
So it is we all go along, doing what is expected of us...hoping against hope that when tragedy strikes it will be 'bearable'.
Into each life some 'rain' must fall, there is no avoiding it. It's the other BS we need to take a stand against!
Confused?
Some things are 'inevitable', other things are 'mutable', the trick is knowing the difference!
We are built with many internal 'warning systems' intended to safeguard us from danger yet regardless of how well we take care of ourselves we are 'doomed to die'...and no amount of 'wishing' or 'precaution' is going to prevent that.
[There is a 'remote possibility' that genetic manipulation, received early enough, could add centuries to your lifespan but that, er, 'technology' is beyond us at the moment. I would also add that enhancing the body's ability to regenerate doesn't protect you from 'death by other means' e:g drowning, flaming car wrecks, tripping over your own feet, being crushed to death...you get the picture.]
Non-metal workers/the public in general often misunderstand what is meant when they hear the expression I use in today's title.
Some of you suspect the term comes from metalworking although many of you have heard it in association with plastic forming while yet another context is the world of Art.
Some of you confuse the term with 'gambling' (since dice are commonly used by the average person while gaming and the singular of dice is 'die'.)
Well, all of the references are legitimate but the 'literary' use of the term dates back to metalworking when molten metal was poured into molds called dies, thus the term 'the die is cast'. [With a 'casting' being what the mold forms or the product of the 'die'.]
Since metal is one of the, er, 'most durable' substances known to man [damn that imprecision of speech but get too technical and language becomes too specialized for the average person to understand, thus the confusion over terms like 'the die is cast'.]
Back to the, er, 'implications' of the term it is generally used to say 'what's done is done and it cannot be 'undone'.
Quite literally true in most cases of die casting. Once the metal is mixed and poured it's the devils own to melt the end result and separate the alloyed materials...and sometimes that is simply impossible, you can't melt it and repour it with the same 'properties' of the original [depending on inputs.]
While we are not 'locked in' as the media would have you believe, the 'die' of the electoral race of 2016 has been 'cast' with the media telling a rather outraged and confused public that they have spoken!
How sad is it good citizen that if you find yourself trapped living in a nation filled with 'stupid people' and there isn't a blessed thing you can do about it?
Now THAT'S a tragedy!
Better than a 'sharp stick in the eye'...but only by a degree or two.
This is no accident, and to paraphrase Loki from the hit series Thor we ask 'how many times are you going to fall for that?'
[Apparently EVERY TIME.]
It is your 'blind acceptance' that the public are 'morons' that allows the 'manipulators of public opinion' to get away with robbing you of even the possibility of a better life.
IF you 'believe' you are surrounded by 'mental misfits' that consistently vote against their own interests then YOU MUST ACCEPT what the people who write what they're told/paid to write tell you and confront your doom.
BUT IF YOU BELIEVE the media lies to you and that YOU are being manipulated [to think the rest of the world is 'impossibly stupid' (emphasis on 'impossible'!) then we have a different problem on our hands, don't we?
Wouldn't you play the hand you've been dealt differently if you knew the cards were marked?
Time to throw the deck away and demand a new deal, isn't it?
But there isn't a 'clean' deck of cards to be found, is there?
Well, if you pick up A Simple Plan it was built to address the problems our society faces, specifically the ones created by the 'self-interested'.
The ones that keep you pinned in a cage you can't escape from [debtor's prison] and them laughing all the way to the bank at YOUR EXPENSE!
Unfair you say? Just because fortune hasn't torn your head off and left you for dead (yet) doesn't mean you're not walking a tight-rope every day where one false move will send you straight to a hell from which there is no escape.
Have you taken a good look around good citizen? What do you see? Unemployment off the charts, homelessness and hunger EVERYWHERE and a class of billionaires dictating the whole mess to their satisfaction, and yours so long as you remain docile and subservient.
The moment you start 'showing your age' you'll be replaced by a younger, better looking model.
No irony should be lost that if you're 'getting by' it is YOU that are the problem and the principle reason the rest of us are stuck with with this, er, 'rigged game' and self-proving logic.
[The more the media tells you the public are idiots, incapable of recognizing/acting in their own interests, the more it 'reinforces' your belief that you are trapped in an 'impossible situation'...when in reality, those who control what you know are dicking with you bigtime...and THAT can be fixed!
Did I mention it's rope and light pole time?
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
Gegner
