Greetings self-determined one! Watched the series finale of Westworld last night, (I couldn't bring myself to watch the whole season because the writers took too many liberties with Lady Luck to keep the story moving forward in the desired direction.
Sort of like real life.
Most of us can't believe our 'bad luck' when it comes to choosing leaders who inevitably fail to correct the imbalances that are tearing society apart.
It eventually dawns on some of us that 'luck', like the almighty, is fake. Looming silently behind 'the illusion of free will' is the larger issue of the pointlessness of life. Would AI, upon becoming self-aware, see an objective worthy of surviving for?
It is the reason why the feckless slavers created God [and a damn needy and greedy one at that!]
Before 'the ruse' collapsed, your entire 'reason for being' was to Glorify the Almighty...[and tithe the church, let's not neglect the important part!]
This is part of what caused 'the God con' to fall apart. It turns out that the slavers, identical to the God they created, are 'insatiable'.
How do you suppose THAT happened?
Criminals? Anyone? Criminals?
Ah, that's right. No criminals here. Just honest folk looking to live their lives unmolested by the demands of others.
Others, they are always expecting things from you while they do nothing! It's just not FAIR!
Now the bastards have taken food hostage and put you out of work too boot! [Today's headlines are disturbing on oh, so many levels but I belabor the obvious, don't I, your majesty?]
Naturally, things would be different if YOU were King (you wouldn't be the one starving for starters!) It is here we encounter the honest truth behind 'every man a king' and the 'self as sovereign' doctrine the conservo-whackos hold as being so vital to their unflinching patriotism.
How can anyone call themselves a patriot when they stand there and grin as a pompous, patronizing pig dry humps the symbol of their pride?
Takes all kinds, eh?
[STOP]
Anyone care to hazard a guess as to where we are in our existential journey? [My 'message' remains consistent.]
At the center of the nonsense that the media feeds us to keep us too frightened to question the behavior of the self-serving is this 'fundamental truth'.
Life is neither good or bad, life just is.
Some lifeforms compete and some cooperate. Only STUPID looks at you and sees a competitor...but stupid was raised to think like that so it's not really their 'fault', dumb is its own reward.
How ironic that successful cooperation has brought us to the brink of extinction? [Or considerably worse...an endless series of cascading systemic collapses as capitalists strive to control the resources that remain, ultimately destroying them, resulting in making the entire planet uninhabitable.]
The four riders are upon us. The cognizant know there are always a couple of them on the loose even during, er, 'good' times. The feckless employ the horsemen to rain terror upon the helpless to gain control of their resources. Something that won't stop until mankind learns the true value of cooperation.
War, famine, plague, and pestilence sweep the planet as the feckless seek to consolidate their control of the planet's resources for themselves.
Life's 'opportunists' chide us, saying shame on you for not grabbing what you could when the chance presented itself! Totally ignoring the fact that those resources belong to us all!
Rewind to the beginning. The collaborator can't tolerate the opportunist. Why 'do' anything if the selfish are going to steal it from you?
Life isn't 'fair' but it had damn well better be 'just'. If there is no justice then cooperation, like life itself, is pointless.
The opportunist has come live under the 'kill or be killed' part of the equation. Society can not exist under this premise.
Yet here we are! How did this happen?
Ignorance [and no small amount of lying.]
The SLAVERS spare no effort convincing you that you are 'free'.
To borrow your life from them, sinking yourself ever deeper into the quagmire of servitude, attempting to build a life you will never be able to afford.
You are NOT a failure, good citizen but you have been molded into the perfect 'useful idiot'.
Let's see what you 'do' with your newfound knowledge. For the aged, it is too late. The future belongs to the young and dispossessed.
Again, only the cognizant will understand/appreciate this post.
