Lol, I’ll be honest, I haven’t been too many places where people openly philosophize and this is one of the few places that still tolerates me after seeing the worst of how I argue with some of the worst offenders to intellectual pursuits. There should be more people and there would be more people if not for the way society is. A good amount of people see philosophy as a waste of time, downgrading my arguments to third-year-philosophy-student status and then I thank them for presuming that I actually went or am going to college when I’m just another high school drop-out. You get the trolls, flamers, etc. that try to ruin it, and amongst all the people out there I’ve ran into, it’s the rare individual that has become a friend of mine through our conversations; the very rare person who steps up to the plate and says ‘yeah, man, I’ve been thinking about this shit, too.’
In truth, so many people think about these things and the sad part is that many of them don’t even try to give their thoughts word to describe and explain them, thinking it unimportant or already summed up. Consider the fact that tens of thousands of years ago, perhaps longer, people were thinking these same thoughts in different fashions due to the technologies and knowledges of the time. I consider that every religion and spirituality and group stemmed from those thoughts in their differences and that the differences in thought processes were merely perspectives and perceptions that failed to coincide in the minds and eyes of those bringing them forward. I mean, you have to figure that it is animal nature to group together with like animals and all animals; to this end and to their varying personalities; accept this without question. But, these are old thoughts and for them to remain so pertinent for so long as philosophical ideas, trumping even science, religion, etc., is phenomenal to me. The fact that the last well-known philosophers were truly Plato, Socrates and Aristotle; not forgetting modern day philosophers like trotsky and Nietzche, but it becomes so many variations and additions to what already exists.
I think that’s what pisses people off so much… they just can’t escape the necessity and importance of philosophical precedents and ideologies. And yet, for want of power or control of others they find it meaningless. Personally, I don’t care how people choose to live their lives, but there comes a point when things get a bit out of hand, such as in the modern age when and where everyone seems to be at each others throats and yet it is the first world-wide societal similarity and is what ties and connects everyone together into a similar struggle just to survive. The musings of Plato and Aristotle and Socrates mean absolutely nothing in light of these events for even their knowledge was stinted by having not seen what we are privileged to see around the world and it should definitely interest people, in my opinion.
I mean, realistically, in a better state of the world, more people would find philosophical ideas interesting and they’d be more open to share their imaginings and creativities and to share their different stories without ridicule, and there would be more people sharing those pursuits instead of the pursuits that tears apart the very societies we create. In a world that is swiftly changing, ego tends to go the four winds; it’s just not important and there really isn’t enough time in our lives to allow ego to run our lives. If you compliment your self or say something flattering about your self, it’s said to be egotistic and arrogant regardless of how you pitch it and yet there is a difference to be noticed even to those who faultily diagnose a situation. The question of ultimate truth has been asked by countless people trying to skate free with treating others any way they want to to compensate for whatever darkness rests inside of them and they don’t much care for return of favor in such a manner.
And, when I begin to wonder what peoples fucking problems are, I look back through history; look through the looking glass within my mind to see the darkness and insanity rampant in mankind and understanding begins to settle deeper in for the long haul and so the fight I’ve been fighting across the internet, wherever I go and throughout my life; why I don’t regret a single thing, not even the things that I did that I consider to be dead wrong to do and why I will learn to be happy even while being homeless and having close family turn on me for lack of proper communication in learning more about my fight online or getting to know what I was doing when I tried to talk about it with everyone I know and they turned a blind eye and decided they didn’t want to talk about philosophy or anything at all with me because I just kept coming up with great ideas and talking about things that weren’t considered real because it happened on the internet; this fight keeps me going with its importance. It’s the simple fact that a fight is undergoing and a war is occurring through the minds and bodies of everyone and even those caught unawares by events around them due to their own willful ignorance and that I’m too deep into it already.
To Hell with being perceived to be self-flattering… there is not a single motherfucker that has been able to step to me in a proper debate nor have there been too many interested in the long-term continuance of such conversations; I think just a few. I’m a talented asshole and intelligent as Hell and after years of struggling with insecurity, depression and everything else, I’m damned proud of my accomplishments. I think everyone should be. I’ve had some damned good friends, though, that love to talk about this stuff and when they bring new ideas to me that I haven’t encountered, I love the shit out of that. I will live and die as a homeless bum if that’s the final stroke of my life in a world rife with strife due to how deep into these thoughts I’ve gone, how far into my own fate I’ve dipped into. I should have died years ago, but here I am. I see you as a strong personality with good command of language and ideas and I don’t even care about our differences. That’s what a lot of people don’t understand about me, if they care to question it at all. So many people getting caught up looking at and judging everyone else and all I’ve ever tried to do is look out for other people and try to warn them of long term cause and effect to their actions.
In the long term of anything, a lot of the things in the world today become pointless and yet they’re there anyway as creature comforts to an addicted multitude who are to afraid to face their fears and move on for the fears put into them and the lack of proper teaching of strength and wisdom, etc. I honestly think that some people consider it self-flattering just to open your mouth and prove your own intelligence and talents to people through what you say; or through your hands in your creations with what you do with your life. It’s a fair assumption to make that some people look upon it with contempt and wonder where you get the right to expose your self in such a manner, so heavily guarded is their own minds and yet if you leave it open, you’ll find that it clothes itself with its own protections much like the Christians believe of God if you trust in God which lends me more belief that their concept of God is our subconscious and that still coincides with the idea of yin and yang and balance and discipline; meditation. These thoughts come from somewhere and to think that there is a common consciousness in us all that can be considered a God conscious and is conscious on its own without a body is interesting; along with how it might interact with reality.
How can anyone judge people who bring so many ideas that can’t be brought down? You really can’t argue with these thoughts and processes because it becomes an impossibility to do so just the same as it becomes impossible to argue with someone who refuses to listen to reason. Even cults of satan can’t be argued with and have their own jewels of knowledge. Perhaps the state of the world should be one of constant war or subjugation they could argue and you could argue against them and for what? The fact is that the world will change on its own regardless of peoples arguments since their arguments don’t always coincide with their actions and the sad fact is that our better nature, no matter how hidden in some, still prevents people from being as bad as they could be; no matter all of those who rose above those restraints… they still can’t get very far for the delicate balance inherent in politics and governments; the system of checks and balances around the world that is out of everybodies control and prevents anyone from getting too far out of hand. Again, something that makes the modern age far more interesting when you look at all the news around the world and realize the mounting tension they try to shove under the rug and out of view; the momentum of events from the past that carries us into the future.
Here’s the question, though: how to truly understand any tragedy of the world without suffering? Can’t be done and so we can’t heal the world until all have suffered equally together and that is the worst part of it and is luckily out of the control of others. You are just as much a tool of fate as I am or anyone else, even those you may not understand too well or have trouble seeing as equal. Each of these groups wants to push their ideologies across the world so that they can control it and have peace in their own fashion and I say let the stupid fuckers; all they’re going to succeed in doing is mixing and matching cultural ideologies across the board and creating a combined might that has never been seen before, for the planet and for philosophy and for the greater motherfucking good; a rainbow army of multi-cultural diversity, brought together to fight a common evil and the trick is that whether it was intentional or not; it will happen anyway and I think it was both partially intentional and not because nobody could plan for it and if nobody had tried to plan for it, it would never have happened at all either way and yet happened all the same; all of it. 'It; being the long lead-up of society to the current age and all of everything that has happened that we play the blame game over. There will be a natural conclusion in the midst of everyone trying to force one to happen and I just laugh like an asshole through thoughts like that because all people ever had to do was just live life, let it be and let it settle itself and yet they couldn’t do it and that becomes the horrible beauty of self-fulfilling prophecies; even the ones on a global scale such as the second coming of jesus christ, etc.
Second coming my ass. At that point, they concede the matter of reincarnation saying that this spirit will return and other religions are going, ‘lmfao, dumbasses, that spirit has returned countless times already,’ and yet each time it has a different name, doesn’t it. Here we are talking about all of this and the simple fact of the matter is that we will still live our lives as they play out anyway based on our choices; best choose your own adventure ever and most people can’t even properly appreciate it.
