eeeegahd video games are the worst mind dumber downers ... sheesh people
and no one remarked about joing the www.the99declaration.org to make real changes in our goverment sheeshhhh
I must have been quite a genius to have so thoroughly enjoyed video games since I was a kid and been an avid smoker of marijuana through my 20s and yet still have my mind do what it does. In what way exactly am I dumb? Is it that I've read the 99 declaration and regard it as another ineffectual human endeavor for some to attempt to control a massive population's activities? Is my regarding most of religion, government, and philosophy as the attempts of some to force their own subjectivity into the objective reality of all the thing that makes me dumb? Is the fact that I am more devoted to being a parent than following purely academic pursuits the thing that makes me dumb? Am I stupid for not being able to afford farm land or perhaps because my brain and body leave me better suited for office work than for farm work? Is my recognition that I can potentially enjoy my life or struggle to "improve" the whole world, as though humanity itself and human endeavors are not themselves part of nature, only to find that good intentions have a way of back-firing, perhaps the thing that makes me so awfully stupid?
I may not be a great person and things may be less than ideal, but you needn't go around saying that people you don't know are stupid based on your own ideals. It's reminiscent of something I'm less than fond of, but I can't quite place my finger on what it is... Must be all that short-term memory loss I suffer from.
