Triggered again!

 

I Was reading

A Ranking Of The World's Best Cuisines Of 2022 

And it went like this

1. Italian
2. Greek
3. Spanish
4. Japanese
5. Indian
6. Mexican
7. Turkish
8. American
9. French
10. Peruvian

FFS

American before French to begin with and o well

one of my comment was:

I had this theory that any site with the word Truth in it has no truth in it whatsoever.

Now I am gonna have to add

any site with the word Taste in it has no Taste AT ALL! 

End of Rant 

These 2 Montreal Sites often get on my nerves but then again a lot of things do these days.
One of them once put a McDonald’s poutine or fries as best in town FFS.

Thing IS as always that there is way way way too many VOICES these days.

We are completely lost in a deluge of manure from anyone and everyone who has a phone and access to the internet and all of them have something to say

The fool rejoices at the manifestations of his own thoughts.

Some say that the first casualty of war is truth

same could be said about greed also

The first casualty of greed is the truth.

SO MANY GURUS!
SO MANY P.T. BARNUM.
SO MANY SNAKE OIL CON ARTISTS!
And all of them have been given a gigantic soap box.

Gone are the days when you had to walk miles and miles to the Areopagus.

It seems to me that Huxley won over Orwell really.

Drowned and paralyzed in an overflow of info.

Anyone trying to say something real these days might as well be called John The Baptist (not that Johnny was real here but…)

A VOICE IN THE DESERT.

Or Rather

A VOICE IN THE OCEAN!

Completely neutered, annihilated, and silenced.

O well! Nothing I haven’t said before but the daily reminder is exhausting.

The first casualty of greed is the truth is so much more visible in this new trends now of short reels: the road to success apparently to become a popular YouTuber / INFLUENCER! Fuck I HATE this word! INFLUENCER.

It absolutely REEKS of vapid shallowness and uselessness.

Every snake oil con artist gathers there now to sell his salad.

I think I have said this before but everybody wants to TEACH YOU

How to Eat, How to Drink, How to Piss and How to Shit

Because OBVIOUSLY you have been eating, drinking, pissing and shitting WRONG all your fucking life you morons and for a fee this new Messiah will teach you how to do it right.

The Hubris is mind blowing SMH

Not exactly sure what is going on and it is way beyond my limited brain but some weird things are in motion.

Ani DiFranco said something brilliant many years ago”

what a waste of thumbs that are opposable
to make machines that are disposable
and sell them to seagulls flying in circles
around one big right wing

yes, the left wing was broken long ago
by the slingshot of cointelpro
and now it's so hard to have faith in
anything

It is quite obvious that the left wing is FUBAR.
Reagan and Thatcher made sure of that among many.

Also it seems that since 9/11 it is almost impossible to change anything

the net has tightened.

Even that Arab Spring has died and it would seem that the good old days or revolution are finally over neutralized slowly by fuck knows what.

And now all we have is mindless rebels walking in the desert babbling shit.

So Maybe I am just one of them ALSO. I wouldn’t be surprised at all.

Stuck in the Matrix like all of us and there is no Morpheus to get us out.

We are just dreaming that we are free.

So I have been programmed to write all this :P

from one clog to another

Ciao for Now

I might have swallowed the Black Pill LOL
I just heard about this concept yesterday in Season 2 of Traces 

Blackpill

The Blackpill is basically the ultimative and hardest to swallow Redpill.

It is about realizing nothing matters and there is nothing you can do that will change anything, it depraves you of all positive thought and makes you want to get some sort of meaning out of this limited time we have.

Basically extreme nihilism. That's why its not a called a red pill, since beyond that.

"John took the blackpill recently. He is depressed since that..."
"Tell him to just take the Bluepill then"
"Impossible. once you go black you'll never go back"

not a wonderful world

 

Virtue Signaling here is an old dirty expression renamed and re branded.
Back in the days it was called Pharisaism…
something about throwing the first stone and all that bullshit.

What amazes my old brain is HOW MUCH POWER that minority of self-righteous mental Don Quixotes REALLY GET.

All these activists and witch hunters of old,
modern KKK clan chasing down people
and foaming at the mouth while lynching them.

Not sure who should PAY and to whom they should PAY really,
Justice, that made up word, is beyond my pay grade.

Weinstein? Prolly
Woody Allen? Bof
I personally think Mia Farrow should be hung and dried
she is a sick fuck AFAIC

C.K. Louis?
Kevin Spacey?

Bill Cosby?

Lawrence M. Krauss

David Silverman

Weinstein

Epstein

Hoffmann

Maxwell

The complete opposite of democracy actually.

Sure some of them are guilty as sin but some have just been thrown under the bus by zealous idle losers with big chips on their shoulders many of those who have hearts and actions as dirty but just not discovered yet a bit like Jimmy Swaggart throwing Jim Baker under the bus before he got caught himself with his pants down as it so often happens.

In Quebec two names come to mind: Bernard Adamus which I happen to really like. Of course the man was a rude uncouth alcoholic we all know that and he certainly did get out of hand at times. Still I won’t stop listening to his music anymore than I would stop watching a Woody Allen movie.

Another one that got a really lousy raw deal is Dany Turcotte after years and years as a good co-host he had to step down because he offended thousands of soccer fans with an innocent remark, totally innocent but
soccer fans (hooligans) not know for their high IQ went on a rampage and got his head. SMH.

It’s a sad world but it is today’s world where anyone and anybody can be lynched and annihilated in a nanosecond. I am so glad I am a nobody and not in the limelight so I can say what the fuck I want.

This cancel culture sure troubles and scares more than one and I can only hope it is but a passing crazy fad that will go away in the near future as it is completely insane, way out of hand and too many bow to these bullying hypocrites.

Anyway I might not be here long enough to see it and that is okay.

I have seen way too much already and I am pretty tired of it all.

The madness, the craziness, the hollowness, the emptiness, the grand delusional schemes we are all under worshiping the killers and kissing their asses. Shooting at the small fry while the big fry gets away with murder every fucking day: the million things we DO NOT SEE
The embargoes

the arm deals
the secret financial deals that ruined millions of lives
The pillaging and raping that goes into every war, the maiming the humiliating

NO IT IS NOT A WONDERFUL WORLD
if you look at it properly but
if you look at it properly you go fucking insane.
One has to pick and choose his/her battles.

It is a dirty ugly world full on uncountable horrors:

a real jungle out there and we are the utter worst merciless predators.

Nothing I can do about it and nothing that anyone will ever change
self righteous woke pharisee or not.

So it is what it is.

Let me finish with Lenny Bruce quote again:

“The truth is 'what is.' If 'what is' is, you have to sleep eight, ten hours a day, that is the truth. A lie will be: People need no sleep at all. Truth is 'what is.' If every politician from the beginning is crooked, there is no crooked. But if you are concerned with a lie, 'what should be'-and 'what should be' is a fantasy, a terrible, terrible lie that someone gave the people long ago: This is what should be-and no one ever saw what should be, that you don't need any sleep and you can go seven years without sleep, so that all the people were made to measure up to that dirty lie. You know there's no crooked politicians. There's never a lie because there is never a truth.”

― Lenny Bruce, How to Talk Dirty and Influence People

O Me! O Life!

 

I Don’t Need My Life to Be Remarkable

Or do I now?

That is the question!

I can of feel a cringe when even animals; horses, dogs etc make it to Wikipedia and chances are my name will never ever appear there unless I become a cardinal or go out with a bang and bottom line
like the great Zoroastrian prophet Farrokh Bulsara once said:

NOTHING REALLY MATTERS

Same cringe I feel I supposed when I listen to
Bon Iver’s Holocene

And at once, I knew
I was not magnificent

Who doesn’t wanna be MAGNIFICENT?

There sure was times in my many manias where I was

FUCKING MAGNIFICENT

but that seems to be such a distant past now

so NOT MAGNIFICENT NOT REMARKABLE

so in other words utterly normal and boring

your typical bungled and botched asshole really

one of 117 billion that have passed on this planet

one of the current 8 billion living on it now

well for the moment anyway.

No marks left!

And then again all of my ancestors have left no marks really.

Go back only 3 generations and all history is lost and forgotten.

Go forward 3 generations and my history will be lost and forgotten

and gone

and THAT’S THE WAY IT IS as Céline would say!

Mind you a lot of people who have left a Mark didn’t leave it for good really whatever that constructed word is and also the mark we see now and are told may not be the real story either as we all know the winner writes history and the winner is not always the good one as we are led to believe.

Facts are getting more and more warped these days and history which has always been erased and rewritten is doing it now at warp 9 speed going boldly where no generation has gone before.

Anyway still waiting for this kick ass epilogue of mine
that fucking verse I am suppose to contribute :)

That you are here—that life exists and identity,

That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

When 116.9 billion have left no verse at all.

Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,

Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,

Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)

Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,

Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,

Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,

The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?

The very best thing since sliced bread

 One thing I thoroughly enjoy everyday is the "privilege" to carry a juke box in my pocket.
I used to live for jukeboxes and put so many quarters in them.
(rarely a dime as I thought that 3 songs for 25 cents was such a better deal than one song for 10 cents LOL)

I mean the social media can take you down some time and all the internet in the world can be boring but

Music CAN really save your mortal soul!!! 😈

Most people I guess enjoy Spotify or Apple Music but so far in my 67 years I haven't felt the need to subscribe to any of these not even to YouTube Music.

Not sure what it is but there is something in my always-been-poor mind (now pensioner's mind) that refuses to pay a monthly fee except for the very basics: Rent. Internet, Utilities etc.

This is one of the reasons I guess also that I have never played WoW (World of Warcraft) or any other games that requires monthly payments.

But basically I don't NEED Spotify or YouTube Music.

I am perfectly satisfied with my current music selection and I  can listen to You Tube AD-FREE all day at home on my Wi-Fi.

My mobile phone service has always been $60 a year and that is basically just to keep my number with minimal internet activity as one YouTube video at my current rate would prolly swallow my whole $60 @ like $0.05 a MB.

Day and Night time I use the PC and manage to get YouTube ad-free on Chrome and on the Phone I somehow have to use Firefox for the same results.

The last 4 days walking with my big headphone set on (unusual but I seem to have probs with earphones these days my ears are getting too big LOL) 

I marvelled and wondered at the MAGIC!!!

To have perfect carriable sound everywhere we go.

I remind myself that for the same privilege back in the old days ( my adolescence) I would have had to carry a heavy portable battery operated record player and several crates of milk filled with Vinyl and yet I still wouldn't have had the same FLEXIBILITY.

Now I can pause and start at the tip of one finger on my headphones, raise the volume up or down at the slide of one finger, skip or repeat a song at the slide of one finger.

MAGIC!!! LOL! :P 

Surrounded by beautiful sound and MOREOVER isolated and protected from all annoying crowd noises.

What an Age to Live in! 😃

Part of the magic also is what YouTube is gonna throw at you next in this very high AI personalised algorithm. 
Very rarely do I need a skip on this one.

At the PC I also like that I have this big wide wheel to control the volume on my keyboard a feature I appreciate more than all the RGB and other gadgets of this Corsair keyboard.

So here it is when all is dark and grey

you can always run to your favourite Pusher 

and INHALE DEEPLY! :P 

THE DEAD KNOW NOTHING AT ALL

 

Stream of consciouness or lame attempt at a blog

Le fou se réjouit a la manifestation de ses pensées.

Ce n'est pas à l'intelligence que l'insensé prend plaisir, C'est à la manifestation de ses pensées.

A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

One thing Elon Musk said recently is that he was looking a lot when he was younger for THE MEANING OF LIFE

and then he realised like Douglas Adams that

we were ASKING THE WRONG QUESTION(S)

Anyone knows anyway that it is 42 :P

The meaning of life at this very moment is to sit here under the fan in this 32 degrees weather listening to Mozart and try not to worry too much about the meaning of life or its lack thereof.

I get way too down browsing too much internet
and I certainly CANNOT agree with Satchmo
that it IS a wonderful world.

Then again I sometimes vaguely realise that my perception of the world is not gospel truth or science and is a valid or as invalid as any of the 8 billion different perceptions of the world.

To quote/ paraphrase Lenny Bruce

Let me tell you the truth. The truth is what is, and what should be is a fantasy. A terrible, terrible lie that someone gave to the people long ago.

Let me tell you the world. 

The world is what is, 

and what should be is a fantasy. 

A terrible, terrible lie that someone gave to the people long ago.

Even History is NOT the truth therefore not the world.

But still to go along with Mike and the Mechanics aphorism here

Every generation

Blames the one before

And all of their frustrations

Come beating on your door

But as I am getting older I sometimes am glad I only got a few years left on this journey.

I relate more and more to this old Futurama meme:

I DON'T TO LIVE ON THIS PLANET ANYMORE

Everything is too tiring, exhausting, just knocking the wind and the will to live out of one every day.

I love that quote I just read from Simone de Beauvoir

La mort semble bien moins terrible, quand on est fatigué. 

Death seems much less terrible when one is tired

~Simone de Beauvoir

I miss some of the old days when one could speak and jester and joke; when minorities did not control you somehow???
We keep talking about democracy
(even though I doubt there is such a thing)
as if it was the Elysium, the cat's meow of all ideologies
 and yet one is cancelled, lapidated, discounted at the least word by what is but a fringe of society:
 an ideology that has taken way too much power
a little bit like the kings and bishops and the Holy Inquisition of old that could kill with a word.

Diversity if you ask me is an aberration. 

It has taken flight over more decent approaches 

like meritocracy which has never really succeeded 

since what really rules the world is 

nepotism, oligarchy and plain old BRIBES.

Replacing a mistake from the past
by a mistake from the present
is STILL a mistake.

All this Huxleyan traffic too is just mind boggling I nearly puke every time I hear the words influencers or content creator FFS.
 Yet some of those are millionaires
as if OnlyFans was a mark of $ucce$$!!!

Half wits with a camera and an internet connection now have their own soapbox and like P.T. Barnum will always have a number of fans to follow them. 

I think the sucker ratio of 1 per minute has exponentially grown when you get close to 8 billion possible followers.

The thing is and this is a subject, a metaphor, an allegory that I have referred to many many times:

Yet in this humongous PILE OF STINKING MANURE once in a while one finds a very nice pearl but yet the stench that sticks to you afterward makes the find a little less pleasurable.

Well there is no sense of smell in the grave if that is a relief now.

Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. Ecc 9:6

10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.

As he said just before that THE DEAD KNOW NOTHING AT ALL

and that to me sometimes is a RELIEF

the Great Equalizer:
Saviour of us all
and of the planet too

KNOWING IS FUCKING EXHAUSTING

Seeing is exhausting

Hearing is exhausting

and as he said again quoted in  previous blogs

Studying is exhausting

a weariness of the flesh 

and in this post-truth too much information age the well is just way too fucking deep and too fucking dark.

There you go little meaningless blog another nothc to you 

I feel better, for all it is worth, writing a blog than doing anything else really prolly as useless and meaningless as anything else I do but still

maybe I am a content creator too??? 

FUCK FORBID! :P 

Relevance in a Post-Truth Exponential Huxleyan World

 Relevant:

relevant

rĕl′ə-vənt

adjective

Having a bearing on or connection with the matter at hand.

Meaningful or purposeful in current society or culture.

Relieving; lending aid or support.

But there is always always someone to bastardise and nullify a good word now there is even something called 

relevantmagazine.com|

Relevant is a bi-monthly Christian lifestyle magazine. 

The magazine is published by Relevant Media Group 

Thing is in this Post-Truth Exponential Huxleyan World

nothing is RELEVANT anymore

NOTHING is Having a bearing on or connection with the matter at hand.

NOTHING is Meaningful or purposeful in current society or culture.

NOTHING is lending aid or support

EVERYTHING is just CONFIRMATION BIAS.

In an evolution where the brain is programmed to eliminate and forget irrelevant information for survival
it is no wonder then that there is so much ADD / ADHD today.

It reminds me a bit of the time my friend and I loved to go to this repertoire cinema just to watch the Lions:
Prize for the best commercials in the world like Oscars Emmys and Tonys etc

Having your brain blasted for an hour and a half with 30 seconds ads was quite amazing.
Thing is that after watching like 180 commercials in a row you could barely remember a handful
to this day I think I remember TWO.

While I am here the second word of the day is

Demonise.

A lot of polarising people quite often much richer and much more intelligent than the hoi polloi are quickly demonised in this cancelling society. 

Elon Musk and Jordan Peterson come to mind here.

Their contribution to the world to say the least is much much greater than mine,
much much greater than any of all the SJWs out there and the constant commenters on the internet. 

The reason why I made this Marlon Brando meme really replacing the words:

THE HORROR! THE HORROR!

with

THE COMMENTS. THE COMMENTS.

The biggest problem with demonising I see is that one has a strong tendency while foaming at the mouth to

THROW THE BABY OUT WITH THE BATH WATER.

I am somewhat fascinated at times with Jordan Peterson though I try to see him with an unfiltered mind if there is such a thing.

At times he says great sensible things but often as most people are, yours truly included, he is UTTERLY FULL OF SHIT.

Especially lately he is getting worse and worse every day going down in flame but then again he has been very ill and his wife is dying so I try to give him some leeway.

No one can handle fame and power as he should know very well and he is not immune to it either.

Elon on another hand is well kind of special;
very privileged childhood
and a special strangely functioning Asperger Brain.

Mind you I guess he is not immune either to my favourite paraphrase of Balzac and should be thrown in the same bag as Oprah and so many other rich people:

“Behind every great fortune there is a crime.”

~ Honoré de Balzac

O well again to make another paraphrase:

“How can a young man cleanse his way?
By taking heed according to WHOSE word?

And to quote the old book again since it has been a big part of my programming:

12 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:

3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,

4 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;

5 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:

6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.

9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.

10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.

11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Well I will give you two things old SOL:

1. YES All in Vanity and Dust in the Wind;
2. Yes too much study IS a weariness of the flesh!

As for the creator thingie well many have tried this story for thousands of years before you back when there was no science and no one could explain shit and still tried.

But I like your poetry on growing old though.

This was one of the first sermon I ever heard back when I was 20 in a Baptist church and I was highly impressed by the use of the silver cord expression having just read Lobsang Rampa on the Third Eye and Astral projection and mentioning that the silver cord held your soul to your body.

Now don't get me going on this soul word again:
AIR BREATH HOT AIR fart if you want.

That is all it is 

You have air you have life;
you have no air you DON'T HAVE life
and this is the end of it the rest is made up.

(same goes with the word spirit,
You IN SPIRE you live
You EX SPIRE you die)

Nothing new under the Sun as good old Sol said again.
