The unbearable triteness of being!

Trite: Lacking power to evoke interest through overuse or repetition.

Sick of it all and depression are trite too I supposed!

Wants to fast forward to 2110 to see the world history still inaccurate still full of lies but with hindsight.

T`would be interesting to read that 911 as proposed by a few was an inside job for the bloody purpose of greed and greed alone because greed is utterly numb and merciless.

But like UFO`s and so many other fables we will not get to the bottom of truth in this century, in this millennium or in this eon nor on this planet.

Most books on thinking try to teach you the million fallacies one can use to excuse, defend or force their wrong point of view on another. It is like trying to study all the counterfeit money bills that they have out there one said I only have to study the real bill¹ really well but the problem is here that the real thing is absolutely unfindable as if it never existed. It finds a way to be buried deep very fast.

Plus it has been practised for thousands of years see old Greek Schools of philosophers and rhetoric, mix a little Hegel with Plato and Kant and Aristotle and Socrates and thousands more and all you succeeded at was to drown yourself way deep in the mire of understanding, to choke to death in the sinking sands of deception.

My constant point being here that when one cannot find and one just sinks himself deeper every time he tries what does one do? Swallow the million lies offered or just refuse them all and hide in some nice little other world one has created for himself where one day Truth and Beauty and Love will reign.

Those who forget history and all that jazz but one forgets that history is NOT an exact science, far from it, it is the product of very sick and conceited minds who are not interested in truth but in glorification and justification of their point of view (good old adage, victory is always written by the victors and somehow the victors are strangely enough ALWAYS the good guys) and considering that a serial killer is a master at self justification and self-righteousness that does not tell you much about what REALLY happened: Triteness of wars, triteness of lies, triteness of being after a while.

Nothing stays pure for long on this planet. What starts with the very best intentions is quickly subdued, captured and soiled inevitably. Ideas, Politics or Religions all good things are attacked and destroyed. As if some tantrum prone control freak bully was in charge.

Yes my world is or seems alright at time, yes I can take a Buddhist Zen approach play "The Glad Game" and keep a Pollyannic smile on the green grass and the blue sky but that seems like the greatest illusion/delusion of all and quite an ostrich approach

¹ the real bill well unlike a dollar bill and all its intricacies at least there IS such a thing as the real bill but when it comes to dogmas we are left with a canon and all these canons have killed more people than the long hard round one that spit fire and mayhem. For one thing there is no such thing as a canon as no one can agree on it. So we are left with thousands of interpretations of what a canon should be. Coming from the Greek κανών it has the same root as cane in fact: a reed to measure the length, a “standard” (étalon in French). In Maths and in Measures we have a “standard”; in fact some of them I understand are kept deep in laboratories or in museum under vacuum to keep the exact measure, the exact comparison. But when it comes to holy manuscripts there is no such thing in any religion all is speculations and interpretations and thousands of sectarian approaches.

And this is why I love maths! J A religion or English teacher can give you 100% approval or fail you on a whim and justify himself. A Math teacher might hate your guts as much as he likes but if your answer is right, your answer is right and he can go and stuff himself.

That canon/cane/reed/rod is often used to beat followers into blind submission as well. So when it comes to canon I say: Spare the Rod and Do Spoil the Child Please!

Hosts, Vessels, and Recipients!

There are certain tragedies and possibilities in real life that I do not like to speculate about or extrapolates on the “what ifs”. My line is almost always I`ll cross that bridge when and if I get there.

When it comes to some sci-fi impossibility though, it sure is fun to consider and play with.

Having watched a few strange stories recently brought me back to questions of old.

One I always loved was the physical vessel of one`s “LOVE”.

The latest was Paul Giamatti asking his wife if she would still love him if he had the same body but a different soul. It is kind of hilarious actually coming from Paul even though the question is just as stupid coming from Brad Pitt or some other vessel of lust.

A similar story but reversed once appeared in Star Trek Next Generation where Dr. Crusher fell in love with an alien which was some sort of a big virus needing a symbiotic relationship with some sort of a host body in order to survive. When the body was tall and good looking male it was easy, but when the “soul”/virus had to be transmuted temporarily in Stryker it became very difficult and at last when the “soul”/virus had to be transmuted in a FEMALE body that was it, that was more than Crusher could handle.

Understandingly, in our limited spirits, we cannot separate the appearance from the person, the soul from the body or the sinner from the sin. I can relate to Crusher’s problem for sure, many go through the same ordeal in many ways here on earth to the “If you ever get fat as your mother, I’ll divorce you” up to the couple where one member is hit with paralysis, or disfigurement or others catastrophes of life. Soul and body are funnily intertwined that way.

I don’ t know if I am learning as a wannabe writer or thinker but there was a few lines I wanted to go here but for the sake of clarity I’ll keep this one on the ONE subject, time travel will have to wait.

Not that there is much more to say on this first line anyway. In fact, Giamatti’s impossible question in Cold Souls did not get much of a reaction from a stunned Watson. My immediate answer was no way or at least a very careful we’ll see when we get there and what kind of “soul” you become or carry next. Anyhow Soul Transmutation is always such a great subject right? From deal with the devils to reincarnation to simple Lobsang Rampa’s transmutation of a Tibetan Monk’s Soul in an Ugly and Old English body not mentioning him writing a book dictated by the wise souls in his 2 Siamese Cats! Always loved Siamese Cats since then maybe they could make me a successful author too or at least get me some drinking money.

So how far can our mortal eyes stretch and love and believe? How many scars does it take to make one ugly and repugnant? Deep down I am more concerned with the inner scars and sometimes the new inner scar that life brings but yes many stories are based on external scars and tragedies and catastrophes that stretch the boundaries of love too far for many not mentioning the boundaries of self love as many even contemplate suicide over a small change in appearance quite irrelevant to most and many.

Alright, it should be enough on this subject for now to get the thinking gear going and to be Socratic about it and to enable one to “Know thine own self” a little more.

Binge Drinking (Alcohol Intoxication Disorder)

Every country and almost every town has its on rules on what is binge drinking.

As if every town was a Valkenfuckingvania!

YOU JUST CAN`T ARBITRARILY CHANGE THE FUCKING “RULE” AT WILL!!!

BECAUSE IF YOU DO THIS, THEN I BECOME A LITTLE NAPOLEON TOO, JUST AS FUCKING GOOD AS YOU ARE, AND THEN I MAKE MY OWN FUCKING RULES.

IN FACT AS IMPRACTICAL AS IT IS UNLESS A GOVERNMENT IS WILLING TO INVEST to provide a breathalyzer for EACH DRINKER save your money on wasted reports.

THE ONLY RULE IS BAC!*

*(BAC Blood Alcohol Content)

THAT`S IT AND THAT`S ALL!

END OF THE FUCKING STORY!

(Mind you they already waste plenty of money in senseless humongous reports that don’t do shit so my investment is not any crazier than theirs.)

the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) recently redefined the term "binge drinking" as any time one reaches a peak BAC of 0.08% or higher as opposed to some (arguably) arbitrary number of drinks in an evening.^[11]

THE NIAAA SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY INSTITUTE IN THE WORLD WITH A BRAIN AS EVERY OTHER COUNTRY ALONG WITH TOM, DICK, AND HARRY ALL ESTABLISHED SOME ARBITRARY NUMBERS COMING STRAIGHT OUT OF A HAT AND THEY CHANGE IT AT WILL ALSO.

THE MOST RIDICULOUS TREND IS TO “EQUALIZE” MEN AND WOMEN NOW IN A POLITICALLY CORRECT BUT SO SCIENTIFICALLY AND BIOLOGICALLY INCORRECT WAY.

SO IN A WAY WE, MEN, HAVE BEEN EMASCULATED. THIS FACT IS ALSO QUITE INTRIGUING AS TO WHY INSTEAD DIDN`T THEY BRING THE WOMEN UP IF WE`RE EQUAL?

THE DATA (BODY FLUIDS, LIVER FUNCTION, AND AVERAGE WEIGHT) IS NOT THE SAME THEREFORE THE RESULTS WILL NOT BE THE SAME! DUH! *

BACK TO BAC HERE!

ACTUALLY IF ONE WANTED TO MESS WITH THE STUPID SYSTEM, ALL ONE HAS TO DO IS TO MOVE IN THE MOST FAVORABLE COUNTRY, PORTUGAL COMING TO MIND HERE, where one is “allowed” much more drinks before being considered a binger.

BACK TO BAC DOESN`T NECESSARILY MEAN YOU CAN DRIVE EITHER SINCE HERE AGAIN EVERY COUNTRY SETS HIS OWN RULES AS IF YOU COULD MEASURE THE PAIN AND DEATH OF IT ALL.

So if the country and its people are willing to make a change, an investment in a personal breathalyzer would be the only solution still remembering that most drunk don`t give much of a fuck about that number if not as a challenge to make it as high as possible without dying.

* Greater Physiological Impairment

The interval between onset of drinking-related problems and entry into treatment appears to be shorter for women than for men (15,16). Moreover, studies of women alcoholics in treatment suggest that they often experience greater physiological impairment earlier in their drinking careers, despite having consumed less alcohol than men (17,18). These findings suggest that the development of consequences associated with heavy drinking may be accelerated or "telescoped" in women.

In addition to these many psych osocial and epidemiological differences, the sexes also experience different physiological effects of alcohol. Women become intoxicated after drinking smaller quantities of alcohol than are needed to produce intoxication in men (19). Three possible mechanisms may explain this response.

First, women have lower total body water content than men of comparable size. After alcohol is consumed, it diffuses uniformly into all body water, both inside and outside cells. Because of their smaller quantity of body water, women achieve higher concentrations of alcohol in their blood than men after drinking equivalent amounts of alcohol. More simply, blood alcohol concentration in women may be likened to the result of dropping the same quantity of alcohol into a smaller pail of water.

Second, diminished activity of alcohol dehydrogenase (the primary enzyme involved in the metabolism of alcohol) in the stomach also may contribute to the gender-related differences in blood alcohol concentrations and a woman's heightened vulnerability to the physiological consequences of drinking. Julkunen and colleagues (20) demonstrated in rats that a substantial amount of alcohol is metabolized by gastric alcohol dehydrogenase in the stomach before it enters the systemic circulation.

Sisyphean Elaborateness!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religions

In dire need of Ariadne`s thread in this daedalum!

This Intricate HodgePodge Jungle!

This Convoluted Endless Ramification!

The Absolute Evil Weaving of the Ultimate Tangled Web of Lies and Deceits!

Talk about the mega confusing crossroad of the world: life giving or life threatening.

Never enough words to express the impossibility of Fathoming Eternity!

Elaborateness here is the perfect word almost since it contains the curse of all of us: LABOR*

Now add a Sisyphean approach to this and you are getting close to Reality!

Sisyphean Elaborateness! Howzat?

Our life and all of our quests and efforts are nothing but Sisyphean Elaborateness!

So fascinating how most religions are very patriarchal and misogynous. Man`s only and greatest sin here was to listen to his wife! J

Not to mention the fact that one would think they were invented by the powers that be and the rich telling the poor to submit endure and shut the fuck up about it. As a matter of fact sports has a bit of that religious aspect about it too as both of them religion and sports are very highly sponsored by the government and the people who PROFIT by our quiet desperation!

*Gen 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

"Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree That I commanded you not to eat from, 'Don't eat from this tree,' The very ground is cursed because of you; getting food from the ground Will be as painful as having babies is for your wife; you'll be working in pain all your life long.

1984 BLOGGING

No need to be a paranoid schizophrenic to be aware that every `word printed` on a blog or anywhere on the internet (Facebook, Twitter and All) is wide open to prying eyes and for one to be absolutely private one almost has to hide in a corner of his room and write down things with a pencil in dim light. But what good is that one would say?

Even though there are dark forces at work here even in the so-called free western world as we hear daily in Australia and everywhere else I suppose, censorship raises his dark head every day and night.

Big Brother wants to have a veto right on what you say and think.

As Walt Whitman said the dirtiest book is the expurgated one. Once you give way to censorship and its ugly head there is no end to it and your head could go too because once you start burning books, burning people is a very small step. And you end up either in fear of a Holy Inquisition or Sharia Law applied by questionable vicars of what is allowed and what is not.
