Life on the Spiral

At Ocktoberfest.

So I managed to start a conversation with some girl at Oktoberfest, she was wearing a Flying Saucer Bar shirt. Anyway we got to talking about God, I don't remember how we got to it, but I'm sure I freaked her out or at least made her question how could I go to Catholic school all my life and come to believe that God looks at humans kind of like pets. She was not amused. I didn't intend to annoy her (though I seem to to do so, I'm just a bit too adventurous in my topics I guess), I just wanted to have a quasi philosophical conversation, but apparently that was too much for her. She commented that I was very pessimistic (before she knew that I was raised Catholic, and before I knew she was Catholic) I responded that, humans are just animals with a bit of intellect and ingenuity. We really are ridiculous in many of our daily pursuits if you step back and think about us as a species, I mean look at the majority of our behaviors, absolutely ridiculous, it makes me think about that South Park episode where the boys learn that Earth is the object of amusement for the entire galaxy of alien worlds. We must look ridiculous to any more evolved lifeforms.

We are not special...

What is more disturbing to you? The idea that human thought is primitive or that our thought processes could be seen as primitive to an older extraterrestrial species? I had a sobering thought the other night sitting around with my friends drinking beer and watching tv. We're all just evolved apes sitting around in clothes watching, interacting, laughing, and crying with other apes. Have you ever thought about the simpleness of speech? Its the same basic idea as blowing over the opening of a bottle, vibration of atoms in the air. The screen you're reading this stupid note on is just a conglomeration of mixtures of tiny dots of Red, Green, and Blue. Why do we exist? What possible purpose can we as organisms be fulfilling? I believe in God, a higher being with some omnipotent purpose, but I wonder if he cant seem to think of us the way we think of our pets. We must look ridiculous! Some fool animals acting all superior to other animals just because we alter our environment and try to act like we don't have instincts and base pleasures. Its so stupid that people try to fight what they are. I'm not saying that we shouldn't try to control ourselves. Animals don't have sex all the time, they have to survive and interact with their environment, but we shouldn't fight our biology with ridiculous social morays. I believe in the human race, I think that we can make a future for ourselves in the universe, but as a species we need to decide what is more important? The economy or the future of our planet and the species that share it with us. People need motivations to live and care about stuff. Communism doesn't work. There are a few inventions and global behavior changes that need to occur for this species to coalesce and move beyond our social and biological fragility. We need a clean self sustaining power source, free or at lease cheap power will clean up the environment and allow food production to be improved. cheap power will allow for easier manufacturing and recycling and improved and eased transportation. Global transportation is the only way to open the minds of everyone on the planet, for them to see how other people live. The more we appreciate how other people live and the things they bring to our lives the less we fear them. There is nothing worse than not knowing anything about someone else, our minds create truths for us to preserve our lives, an evolutionary leftover that seems to do us more harm than good in most cases. We are not special as a species no matter how we look at it. It is up to us as individuals and as a species to make ourselves special and worthy of existence in the universe. I hope that my generation and the next can move farther than the previous generation in uniting the planet, not so much politically but more as friends. That we can let go of our fear of the unknown and realize that our day to day social problems are stupid and not worthy of our time or at least not the amount of attention that we give to them. I think a big step forward would be to stop the cookie cutter ideal of education for children and encourage their creativity instead of squashing it with medication and overbearing rules.

Dr. Phil soundboard prank call to scientology office

Scientology is a dangerous cult that breaks up families and ruins peoples lives by force feeding them lies and BS. It is a pyramid scheme masquerading as a nouveaux religion.

I thought this was well done.

Incredibly dumb creationists

This is the dumbest argument by creationists, what is amazing that anyone would take this as a useful point. Honestly, using opened cans of peanut butter as evidence, PLEASE! These people just need to say what theyre concerned about, namely that they see America having a moral quandary. These creationists live in a fairy tale world where history and evidence means little or nothing. I consider myself a follower of Intelligent design, but that means that I believe in the big bang and evolution. One can have faith while accepting physics, chemistry, biology, evolution, and mathematics. These creationists need to understand that even the ancients knew not to take the holy texts as absolute truth, only the most deluded or dumb took it for the absolute truth. The religions of the middle east were developed by people living largely nomadically, in patriarchal societies, were involved in frequent warfare. The texts of the middle east should be appreciated for the lessons and advice given, but we cannot allow ourselves to take them for the true history, especially when we have science to tell us how things work.

The End of College

So Im a senior on the edge of graduation. Im ready to move on to graduate school. Ive had my fun but I want to get my financial independence and do my own thing totally. Ive got lots of things to start saving for, house, cars, tuition for my own kids. My college years have left me very different than I was when I started as a freshman. I am much more technically adept, Im not afraid to repair appliances or furniture myself, and Ive stopped worrying about a lot of things that made me depressed on occasion. Ive learned a lot about my own body, what supplements will improve my skin, my moods, and overall health. Im a better cook through much trial and error. I think I understand women just a little better, but Im still lost. I have to say that Im a bit more pessimistic about the world than I used to be, probably because I know more about human history now. I know that the next three years in law school will fly by and Ill be an attorney before I know it, but I look forward to the life experiences that will come, I just hope that I know what to do somewhat when these things happen.
