Relevant is a bi-monthly Christian lifestyle magazine.

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.
