That deaf dumb and blind kid?

No! Well, yeah, sure… but secretly, on the surface one must maintain the petty clickbait controversy facade, like back Blur vs Oasis back in the 90s. Or more recently, In ‘n’ Out vs Five Guys.

Full circle and back to the Paleolithic!

Having read the original Foundation Trilogy twice, I can give a heartfelt stamp of approval to the BBC radio play of it, apparently it’s from 1977, I had assumed it was at least half a decade older than that. Hope you enjoy, I surely did.

This is like Greek mythology and tragedy, where figures like the Medusa have been replaced by something just as wild and unknowable in the human flight of imagination, separated by over two millennia and several paradigm shifts. With all our science, all our reason, the ancient gods and demons persist, in new incarnations, now with technology and exploration beyond the Earth.

I’ll give you another, much kinder and gentler example: when Kellogg’s began hosting their own beauty pageant about a century ago, The Sweetheart Of The Corn, then drew or photographed her cradling the stalks and ears of corn in her arms, then put that image on the cereal boxes, Kellogg’s created - maybe by unwitting, lucky accident - a modern representation of a harvest goddess like Ceres.

The Futurist Now

You fiend! This is madness, madness!
You just un-fancied my fancy ketchup!

Frogs.

I want to believe
that is the sleeve
of a bathrobe.

It seems my mind fine-tuned the phrase without me noticing it, for years I’ve thought of it as:
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity incompetence."

It hits a little harder, I think, because incompetence should be vincible, a condition that can be overcome, implying that it’s a choice, a lazy indifferent choice, a mediocrity.

These rituals have always been sacraments for pre-Hispanic cultures and religions; as such, in the past couple of decades they have been legalized in both Mexico and the USA.

These ayahuasca or peyote retreats announce their retreats in social media, I know this happens in New Mexico, California and Baja California, surely other states in both countries also have these weekend retreats, but I’ve personally never been to one of these.
What I have been doing is practicing daily meditation for the past seven years, I haven’t really felt the call yet to partake in an ayahuasca ritual.

Not the hero we need…

Like the pro-trump Mexican owner of a carnitas taco stand in my town. He has always been vocally ignorant and small-minded, while fancying himself as oh-so-intelligent and politically savvy, but a year ago this was a whole new lower level of sewage that I did not see coming. So I give up, hasta nunca, baboso.

But so many people… oh my god so many, many people!.. seem to be addicted to that poison spear with the honey tip.

That constant soundbite constant outrage is effective to keep the large herd of humanity in check, this and selective targeted misinformation is the recipe to keep so many people from actually doing something, anything meaningful to keep the nazis from the levers of power, so many people are laughably easy to manipulate and keep them from voting.

Many of the very same people who allowed the nazis into power are also whooping with delight at some random insignificant schadenfreude bullshit theater, as Rome burns around them.

Windog!

Just like shrooms!

Ayahuasca rituals!
I’ve seen several severe alcoholics come back from those weekend guided retreats not drinking liquor anymore, now carrying an inner glow, a new peace and contentment that didn’t seem to be there before they took the plunge and imbibed that stew in that tent, or around a fire, chants in the background…

A unit divisible into whole integers, and which sometimes contains an updog.

It has to be Mad Men, which I’ve watched all the way through three or four times, definitely three at least.

Great job!
