Objection @ MindSay

For those who know me, i've been addicted to the Phoenix Wright series for a while, and Franziska Von Karma has grown to be my fave character. so... yeah xD
not a lot is heppenin' otherwise, just job huntin' and I think i'm comin' down with a cold.

*insert-quote-here, can't think/find one right now*

alright blogheads, i've been blogging about on here for a little while now (3 months)...  and i think i've gotten the gist of the medium by now, more or less, so, i figured it was time for me to share some of my observations/judgements/critiques with y'all...   since i speak to and live amongst western-worlders (primarily) they/we are the ones i will critique...  why critique at all?  because it's either that or puke my guts out...

if there's some generalizations i can make about the people i've conversed with on here/at large (i figure it's irie to make generalizations about our species as ONE, but if you/i try to get any more particular than that, it becomes racism really fast), it's that we are all a) STUBBORN b) INSINCERE c) PARANOID d)INCONSIDERATE  e) CRIMINALLY IGNORANT and f) DELUSIONAL  (this list could get really long really fast)...  I am a firm believer that all humans are more or less the same (at the very least we all have more things in common with each other than things which make us "different") in that we all have the ability to make the same decisions as each other one moment to the next...  our freedom binds us, in a way (not to mention our fucking genes)...  and surely we all have a common destiny just as we share a common past, so i don't see any harm in speaking of humanity (or the western world breed thereof (i feel too ignorant of the East to speak of it with any semblance of authority...)) as ONE.  I AM a fucking human-- there's my credibility right there...  so why do i think what i think about what we are/how we behave?  read on...

stubborn
why are we stubborn?  because we're fucking lazy (btw, if you're the type of person who gets offended by the F-bomb but can sit and read a newspaper without flinching/cringing, you can suck a dick, right now)...  we prefer to learn as little as possible...  so we learn someone's take on something once, etch it into our skulls, and henceforth consider it to be gospel, or at least "reality"...  we seem inclined towards regurgitation rather than analyzation...  we'd rather vaunt our "knowledge" like a trophy than augment it in any way...  knowledge evolves like life, the universe, and everything...  stubbornness is counter-evolutionary...  it's a ball-and-chain, the companion of fools who live in perpetual fear of being exposed as fools...

insincere
why are we insincere?  because we're taught to be...  we're taught to not want to be "different" to the point that we become petrified of being construed as different by any douche-bag who happens to happen upon us...  who gives a fuck what douche-bags think of you?  we're all douche-bags and we're all bombarded with stupid thoughts on the regular, so why would we discard our own stupid thoughts, and yet take the stupid thoughts of others to heart?   consider the source, people... 
I haven't been everywhere, but i'd bet alot that north america (yes i'm a bloody canuck but i totally consider any american to be interchangeable with any canadian...  same shit, partially different pile...  fools abound...) is home to the most insincere society on earth...  we're afraid to be ourselves, to indulge in irrational/"abnormal" whims and whatnot, because boys are taught to be clint eastwood and girls are taught to be...  i dunno, fucking shirley temple...  men are supposed to be bold and women are supposed to be pretty...  and we're all supposed to be people of action (act first, and if there's any time left, think then, if you want)...  what do you expect when you're raised primarily by a faceless, brainless, lifeless corporation?  mass media/society wants your money, and is indifferent to anything of significance...  i wrote about insincerity a while ago, though, so consult that if you can stomach any more of this...

paranoid
this one came as a surprise...  in the safest place to live in the history of the world, one would think paranoia would be a thing of the past...  but it's thriving...  why?  again, i think this is a learned trait...  the history that you may or may not have learnt, is saturated with violent conflict to the point that the term "history" is synonymous with "the history of war"...  and as every history is written by someone with a vested interest/bias in whatever conflict they're summarizing, there is always a good side and a bad side in our half-assed sources of information...  so, we end up believing that some humans are inherently good, and some bad...  everyone on earth wants the same short list of things, people...  there are no alien monsters amongst us (and if there are, i'd suggest you leave them be)...  there are just people who make bad fucking decisions for one reason or another...  i've noticed that paranoia is especially popular amongst religious devotees (christains, in a western context (dammit-- i guess i'm now a racist by my own definition...))...  for this, i blame the myth of the devil...  christians seem to go to sleep every night thinking there's a wolf at the door...  i say if you believe that evil is ubiquitous, you haven't been using your bloody better judgement...  have you ever met an evil baby?  that's cause none of them are!  we teach them to be evil because we're so goddamned inept at teaching anyone anything...  we teach them to be paranoid, we put them on the defensive from the get-go, we teach them that the worst thing to be in life is a victim (as opposed to a transgressor)...  bollocks!  there is nothing more humourous/pathetic/sad to me than seeing an adult scream and flee from a fucking bee or spider or something of that sort, something that obviously does not pose a serious threat to them (and even if you're allergic, there's no reason to fucking scream, though running is understandable...)...  but this is what our governments do on a global scale, and we just follow our leaders like the fucking monkeys we are...  still afraid of spiders, snakes, and such, even though we dissect them en-masse and could eradicate them on a lark if we chose...  fucking metaphors get convoluted sometimes...  bear with me folks...  what i'm saying is this:  what is there left on earth for us to fear beyond ourselves?  nothing, so we invent imaginary enemies to fear, to fight, to give us a sense of purpose...  purpose has become synonymous with deluded paranoia...  if you have to fear anything, fear the fucking future...  fear for your grandchildren...  fear your fear...  fear the muzzle of a gun in your face, but until that happens, stop wasting your fucking time (one of my buddies won't let me swear on his site so i'm kind of venting here-- deal with it)...  i dunno...  it seems there are many real and immediate threats to our livelihoods but they all seem to come from the same place:  our outlandishly luxurious, unsustainable life-styles...  i fear for the fate of mother nature, and everything that comprises it (including US), but i have to assume (yes, yes, assumption is the mother of all evil, but it's also the only way any science could ever get done) that fears based upon science are worth investigating...  maybe many of us are such paranoid freaks out of sheer boredom...  to spice up our otherwise mundane and bland lives...  that's pretty weak, if that's the case...  drama is ubiquitous already, we don't need to invent any...

inconsiderate
by inconsiderate i don't mean that we fail to follow traditional customs etc, but that we simply don't revere/respect life the way we should ( i hate it when my shit could be construed as "preachy", i am no pillar of reason, just a humble philosopher who has to take a stand somewhere in order to be able to conscionably communicate anything that could be construed as useful to anyone... (and damn it all, i hate it when i revert to extreme wordiness when i feel that i'll be widely misinterpreted)) ...  common courtesy is lacking sure, but that's just because nobody has sensibly defined it...  consideration is essentially the ability to put oneself in the shoes of others...  why don't we do that more?  you guessed it, cause we're a bunch of lazy pussies...  there seems to be no shortage of self-love out there, but when it comes to loving our brothers and sisters, we just can't find the time or rally the effort required...  we're so worried of being victimized somehow that we fail to relate to the droves of people who actually are the victims of circumstance and negligence...  and this willful ignorance just serves to compound the problems of the real victims, and otherwise doesn't serve any useful purpose at all...  if i could say one word to everyone on earth it would be: RELATE!  relate to everything under the sun...  i find it easier to relate to certain animals than i do to relate to certain people but i still try...  i happen to like challenges though, and this one can be tough, as there is no precedence for it, like most of the tough ones...  that's why we tend to leave them alone...  i don't find anything as enticing as a problem that has yet to be solved...  and if we are to exist unforseeably into the future, we will eventually need some general guidelines about how to treat people/life half-decently...  the golden rule is a good start, but i personally haven't met many christians who abide by it, so i think we'll need a medium other than religion (say, LOGIC) in which to transmit such guidelines...  maybe if people were a little more in touch with their inner selves, their TRUE self, we wouldn't have to transmit such guidelines (we shouldn't have to) at all...  we are all born with such innate wisdom...  where does it go?  does our fear chase it away?

criminally ignorant
uh...  here's a fucking newsflash:  the earth, as of 2007, is our sole lifeline in the universe.  here's another:  the earth is finite...  there are a finite number of atoms on our planet...  everything you do affects a finite number of atoms on our planet...  therefore, everything you do affects our planet...  so watch where you step you (metaphorically) fat bastards...  I don't think i can make this point any clearer...  meditate upon it, young grasshoppers...

delusional
do i need to elaborate on this word/idea?  what you believe does not alter what is.  unless, of course, you act upon your beliefs and start dicking around with god's perfect plan (ha!  i love tempering my fastballs with a sinker every now and again)...  all the wishful thinking in the world doesn't amount to a hill of beans...  if you can't defend/justify/rationalize your beliefs, you have no business believing them...  but if you persist to believe in spite of common sense, you become delusional...  if delusion is what you want from life then go to sleep...  otherwise, as the mythical satan once said:  "awake, arise, or be forever fallen!"

and i'm spent...  if you have read this far, you will most likely have felt some provocation at some point or another...  i encourage you to give into it...  defending my beliefs helps me to define them...  did you notice any common threads throughout the rant?  are most of my grievances attributable to our ingrained and socially enhanced fear?  i suppose i'd say so...  do i expect too much from a pack of relatively well-groomed monkies?  maybe, but none of the shit i mention seems too much to ask, does it?  if there can be peace anywhere, there can be peace everywhere...  if anyone is good, life is good...  if anyone can be logical, we can all be logical...  such are my assumptions.
