I wish I was a simpleton.

I wish I could wake up each morning, eat breakfast, and take cold showers.
I wish I could do the 9 to 5 and believe I was contributing.
I wish I could wave the flag, and feel proud.
I wish I could eat meat, and not feel a guilty conscience.
I wish I had a fancy car, that polluted the planet.
I wish I was entertained by small talk.
I wish I was entertained by stupid tv shows.
I wish I could feel enthused for baby showers.
I wish my greatest ambition was to watch sports.
I wish I was a drunkard, who went to the pub.
I wish I could fall in love with a woman.
I wish I could eat a woman’s pussy, and not feel the bad taste.
I wish I had no standards of beauty, and was happy with ugliness.
I wish I could be entertained with simple things, such as phones and electronic games.
I wish I could go to the mall and see all of it’s splendor.
I wish vacations and hotel stays would excite me.
I wish I didnt have to take pills everyday, to keep me from schizophrenia and existential angst.

Careful what you wish for.

Why wish for something you already are?

We should have a “song association” thread to compliment word association and if you’re listening to music right now.

The word “simpleton” should cease to be used in a pejorative sense because simplicity is a good thing.

One has to wonder whether it is possible at all for a man to feel repulsed by that which is simple. If this is true, which I believe it is, then one has to question the presumption that the reason we feel repulsion towards these people is because they are simple.

Are these people simple at all?

It is a mistake to look at the apparent simplicity of their actions and conclude, that they are, indeed, simple. Beneath everything that we can see on the outside, a largerly invisible apparatus lays, and what appears to be simple may in fact conceal something that is extremely complex.

Isn’t, after all, precisely complexity the one quality that we find to be ugly?

What happens to a man who lacks the will to resist his impulse? Does he not become entangled in his instincts? Does he not, in this way, become convoluted, difficult to understand not only for others, but difficult to understand to himself as well? Is his state of mind produced by such a lack not an example of an unnecessary great level of complexity? Are his fellows in misfortune not a product of the inability to manage, yes, reduce, complexity?

A man becomes simple through the process of overcoming of his natural inclinations. A clean slate thus he becomes, an opportunity to build with clarity is thereby formed. Only in this way can a man become and remain beautiful. For nature does not care about beauty. Monkeys we were in the past, beautiful we were not.

Use the word “complexton” instead.

Magnus, you remind me a lot of the character Dwight Schrute from the American version of the show The Office.
