I remember scoring a proud A minus in calculus in my
forties. Today it is all blurred water
under the bridge, a feat I doubt I could repeat as I am slowly turning into
Charlie Gordon post-op.
And it is sad in a way inevitable inexorable and a few other
in’s as well.
But on the other hand having my full faculties of my youth
and much more and reading all the material I could cram in would not help
either.
Like Newton I too will say:
“I don't know what I may seem to the world. But as to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore and diverting myself now and then in finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than the ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”
“I don't know what I may seem to the world. But as to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore and diverting myself now and then in finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than the ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”
Have I had read trillions of words I would still be limited
by this human defective shell, this mankind highly defective brain.
A brain that argues against the spending of medical services
especially if they are made by the state but has no qualms at all on military
spending in the trillions of dollars.
In my Eloi utopia the best medical science is free for all
and there is no such thing as totally unnecessary military budget and humongous
wastes on weapons of mass murders.
There is no ignorance and mass hysteria frequently provoked
by religious beliefs as they are recognised for what they are and have always
been: a mental disease.
For one thing millions of people based their whole misogynous
lives on the word of a manic man who fell from his horse FFS!
I mean how
credible would such an individual be today?
Has anyone ever heard of temporal
lobe damage and the hallucinations that come with it? DUH!
Besides other old texts created for power by the writers
themselves left purposefully ambiguous for the purpose of escaping judgement
and being caught at their conning game.
Apologetics and exegesis being nothing short of bullshit.
Our best scientific knowledge is lame and as solid as any
other strange belief at times since we have a pattern of only seeing our errors
a hundred years from now.
Who knows if the Big Bang theory will not be the joke of the
22nd century? Or any other extrapolation we are trying now with the
very best minds we have. So much
conjuncture, pride, ignorance, and pettiness at the highest levels.
This Eloi without the Morlock dream was the best a human
mind could produce as most attempts at utopias usually turned into dystopias
considering the shortness of time we have “separated” from the apes.
That John Lennon’s Imagine dream was just
pretty words invented by a highly flawed human being not living up to his words
for sure.
No countries, no religions, all races equals, no caste, no
upstairs and downstairs separation, eventually considering our nature I would
say no marriages either and some sort of test tube procreation and proper state
education almost a la Huxley.
How many criminals should have had their parents on the
chair instead? Really?
How much damage is created by unrealistic religious
expectations?
How many times does one have to teach a young child to ponder on the words “if I die before I wake” to then expand on some local bullshit of their own of what happens after.

I am a silly idealist for sure and I like it that way. I
even dislike the Huxleyan Alphas Deltas and Gammas even though we do need some
practicality I understand and I can’t come out with a solution where the milk
is delivered and there is no politician in charge. For we all know that no human can handle
power so far never did, never will.
Plus it doesn’t matter anyway because none of this will ever
happen but it would make the best book ever though!
Thing is it might not be a best seller since happy people have no history and there would be no
drama to keep us entertained, no cult of the ugly like the current reality /
idiocracy TV is feeding us daily with abusing ugly people and housewives and
gogglebox and what not. Pure trash to
promote more trash and worst be happy in our trashy shit laying down in it and
enjoying it in some form of schadenfreude from hell.
There would be no need for space exploration except for
knowledge maybe as this planet would be properly treated and managed and
resources and population wisely handled.
Space exploration as a future precaution only maybe for massive
emigration when this sun collapses or some other cosmic calamity and by
emigration I mean all of us not just a few rich fucks to expand their rich
fuckery further in the universe.
Ideal economics now is always a stumbling block of all. People with contentment working the excesses
for the good of all is hard to imagine or even worse put in practice. A moneyless world where all needs are perfectly
met and beyond and all top medical attention is free and all science needs for
the advancement of humanity are covered as well without arms build ups or hardly
any accidents.
All the money invested in death transferred to life giving
and extending instead.
Anyway one can always Dream On… the best escapism given to
us.
Makes me wonder what animal dreams
are like now? Probably as basic as running from a dog or digging for some
goodies and not extrapolating on the future of all mammals.
So Dream On everyone while we can.
I will keep looking for the pretty shells and forget they were once the homes of perished life forms. The next shell will be more perfect and offer even more hope of a greater one. There must be finer shells to find.
