“To those who crouch in fear, your ghosts will disappear…”

I can’t believe George Lucas put his museum in L.A., considering the city will be deserted in 5-10 years(!)

More economic and climate change denial on the part of one of Hollywoods fat-cats. 

Two socially invisible Elephants to consider:

1. 50%+ of the global workforce is obsolete with a learning curve that’s dwarfed by technological speed.

2. California has the worst drought ever and there’s a scientific consensus on climate change regarding water and places like LA.

I had a dream in 2009 that I was flying over my grandfather’s yard with golden wings and there were dragons.

…This dream has reappeared only at crucial times. God is a message in a bottle sent back to ourselves. 

These dreams appeared when my mom died,  but ever since only upon getting hired somewhere worth an extreme amount of money compared to what I’d been making. Or one time right before I basically saved my exes life due to predicting her appendicitis. The night before. I was the only one who pushed for it and the docs found a problem with it low and behold! 

I know that the dream was generally about radical epic success and happiness. 

I had another recurring dream last night; it was a continuation of the same series in which I was jumping up from a very well embroidered Victorian red rug to realize that I was soaring up from the middle of a golden cathedral hundreds of feet, in which I had jumped all the way up to the ceiling, probably about 10 stories…Quite a sensation I might add. 

Again I am potentially on the verge of getting hired somewhere, I’ll likely hear back today.

This series represents extreme success, its just a question of how I will handle it.

Defend Western Civilization. At all costs.

What if God was simply a message in a bottle sent back to ourselves?

Everything that it inherits on his journey in a boomerang back, is the literal existence of God.

So as the Native Americans believed, we are God everything is God.

Education for the masses is a joke.

Ellen Degeners is right not to pander to moral treason! – Kim Burrells is a Medievalist

Moral condemnation is called for against the anti-gay coalition of religious people. 

I want freedom from religion in our country!

These are those days.

My father in his eloquent 40s once said: 

“well Neal what it looks like is that well be living in an ultra technological society of haves and the have nots…”

At another point he said “you see these Neal” (holds up debit and credit cards) “these are membership cards to an exclusive club: it’s called the middle-class.”

What happened? 

Now that it is that system of haves and have nots, he finds himself a have. And hence, denies the fact that we’re living in a system of haves and have-nots. 

I mean, he actually and literally thinks the economy is okay and that we’ll pull through.

Not likely. 

Now he talks about being pro-Israel and how we’re helping Syria.

As-if.

Now that he is almost 70, he doesn’t talk about any of those things. 

That is, people say things and when those things actually come to pass, it’s as if they’d never said them. 

The self-development enough to connect two disparate points of time in ones life is not a cheap commodity. 

His mother, my Nana once said:

“when I get to the point where I can’t remember anything and I’m going senile, just take me out back and shoot me… ”

Once this came to pass, My dad said in lieu of this: “well these are those days, and it’s not like we’re going to take her out the back and shoot her, is it?”

But when you think about it and in light of current events and the way the world is going maybe that’s exactly what people should be doing. 

That is, to enjoy a shorter life and do all the things that you wanted to do, rather than a longer life in which none of the things you wanted to do, we’re done–is the real point of life. 

I used to scoff at people who said they were going to commit suicide at 60 or 70 out of their own free will. 

 They just don’t want to suffer the way they have seen people suffer. 

The way I have seen people sacrifice for nothing but ants buying and building more ant hills.

“The thing about this town is that the Artists are more bourgeois than the f-ing Borgeoisie!” – Arthur Rimbaud, Charville France 1871

Prolonging the longevity of a career, as an end in itself, is careerism.

Careerism is just that: the investment of stability and the effects of genius and extreme advantage; without payment to the quality and character of meaning–what the work is really all about. 

Careerism is brought about by money and won’t exist in a post- financially economic world.
