Since the Renaissance there's been a tendency to work more and more passionately for the coming of the kingdom of the sciences and the social robot.

You either accept that you were born in group x, that group x comes with these advantages/disadvantages at this position in time, or you spend your life trying to ignore this in order to passively or actively dismantle the inherent value of something you were never asked to participate in (life).

crazy earl:
This is my bro...this is his party. He's the guest of honor. Today is his birthday. I will never forget this day. The day I came to Hue City and fought one million NVA gooks. I love the little commie bastards, I really do. These enemy grunts are as hard as slant eyed drill instructors. These are great days we're living, bros! We are jolly green giants, walking the earth, with guns! These people we wasted here today are the finest human beings we will ever know. After we rotate back to the world we're gonna miss not having anyone around thats worth shooting!

2pac:
And still I see no changes can't a bother get a little peace
There's war in the streets and war in the middle east
Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs
so the police can bother me
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
But now I'm back with the facts givin' em back to you
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,
crack you up and pimps Smack you up
You gotta learn to hold ya own
they get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
But tell the cops they can't touch this
I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this
That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool
my mama didn't raise no fool
And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped
I never get to lay back
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
some buck that I roughed up way back
comin' back after all these years
Rat atat tat tat thats the way it is

Working on a V.R. article based on one of Jung's books. Thought I'd share this:

The infantile dream-state of the mass man is so unrealistic that he never thinks to ask who is paying for this paradise. The balancing of accounts is left to a higher political or social authority, which welcomes the task, for its power is thereby increased; and the more power it has, the weaker and more helpless the individual becomes.

Rene Descartes walks into a bar, sits down, and orders a beer. When he's drained it, bartender asks him, "Would you like another one, sir?" Descartes replies, "I think not." Then he promptly disappears.

Negating the antecedent? Funny, indeed ;)

Someone just posted this on another thread but I thought it also needed to go here

(Please visit the site to view this media)

I love when one of the council members says "If you sign is in line with regulations, it shouldn't take more than 4-5 days to get approved. If its out of regulation, you know if it has more than 3 colors, then..."

Drew: "wait...why is a sign out of regulations if it has more than three colors?"

Council member: "Because that is the rule."

Drew: "Get rid of it."

lol, "look drew its a rule because its a rule, it just is!"

Posted from the Joseph Campbell Foundation FB.

When we consider, however, instead of the physical, the psychological character of our species, the most evident distinguishing sign is man’s organization of his life according primarily to mythic, and only secondarily economic, aims and laws. Food and drink, reproduction and nest-building, it is true, play formidable roles in the lives no less of men than of chimpanzees. But what of the economics of the Pyramids, the cathedrals of the Middle Ages, Hindus starving to death with edible cattle strolling all around them, or the history of Israel, from the time of Saul to right now? If a differentiating feature is to be named, separating human from animal psychology, it is surely this of the subordination in the human sphere of even economics to mythology. And if one should ask why or how any such unsubstantial impulsion ever should have become dominant in the ordering of physical life, the answer is that, in this wonderful human brain of ours there has dawned a realization unknown to the other primates. It is that of the individual, conscious of himself as such, and aware that he, and all that he cares for, will one day die.

Nah, that's sort of what teachers are there to help you do - figure out what you're looking for and whether you're a good fit (as wel as teach you).
