Freelance Friday

and it goes on…the good the bad and the ugly all operating within a system that keeps all but the super wealthy employed…selling time…not to better society but to better yourself…you have been sold the dream that you could get ahead…that you could wake up from the drudgery of your existence…

the system is intentionally dull…if we can get everyone the same it is an easier

sell.

production is getting more efficient

and that  has been internalized…

we think we can get better…

has been ingrained…

and we make up shit to fill the narrative…

Self Help

I need to improve myself so i can enjoy life more…the planet’s dying…

they concentrate on themselves and not the system or the few that control th system ,

the super wealthy should be fine…

run the xmas commercial of the polar bear drinking coke…

they love that one…freelance friday have a beer… 

CBC SHAME

after watching conrad black steal boxes from his office he is now on CBC wishing people a merry xmas…his crime only obvious for its arrogance…

Question

if i am wealthy does that equate into poverty for others

Say there is a planet and 10% of the population is using 75% of the resources and the other 90% get 25%…a small percentage is using most of the pie and the rest fight for crumbs…that 10% controls the biggest military…and as an outsider the explanation seems clear…now interestingly some of the 10% explain 1% of the 10% controls them…so how can they feel bad…

it is not there fault they build Las Vegas and use much water in the desert when it is becoming increasingly scarce or that other parts of the world are dying of thirst…

i mean c’mon we can ship oil…

why not water?…

but politicians don’t want to go there…

then capitalism is at full throttle…

once everything has been sold only then will we stop…

religion 

with a benefit of an enjoyable after death

when your dead you get your reward

i.e. it feeds on our fear of death..

i.e our insignificance…

the seeming pointlessness of it all…even a hundred years      a raindrop on the ocean…

last time i spoke with Bhuddha

he admired agnosticism as he knew very little

ahhh the after life he chuckled

nobody knows…and he was already dead.

i am agnostic

religious people are arrogant because they have connections to an unworldy reality

and atheists are arrogant because they believe in their word, in their logic…

but no one has proved there isn’t a god…

nor the other way around…

the conversation is faulty…we don’t know

but

we know about the world

or if you’re hungry you do,

or if you’ve labored all day

or if you’re in a street fight…

or spent seven days in the desert…

but sitting comfortably

in front of a screen

is a more mental experience

and less vital…less physical for sure… 

More and More Man Made

heaven on earth

is not going to be an epitaph…

c’mon stop it

going down in a blaze of ignorant pride

stop the conversation…

we have lives to live here…

or perhaps in other dimensions… 

Money Talks and Talks and talks… 

i could give my wealth away

but that would only empower

some one else in a capitalistic society…

Compassion

giving or charity or NGO’s are ways

capitalism tries to reduce it’s disparities…

it will not solve world hunger…

on that i will bet my last dime…

A Vow of Freedom

If i am wealthy does that make other people poor?

yes…

live with it…or change the system

and that does not happen

“one person at a time”

I have no answer

a question my good friend Nietzsche once posed

“How do they account for the ones who

are evil and happy?”
