The Three Tenets of Existential Terrorism

Words are not things or actions. They are vibrations of the air molecules or squiggles on a page. Mistaking words for reality is the mistake that puts politicians in office and sells all of the products, religions, and systems of government on the planet. Saying "Tree" is no more a tree than saying "I love you" means that someone loves you. To perceive reality as it is, one must accept that words are a vehicle for the transference of our perception of reality, not reality itself.
God is dead. I killed him (it, them, her, et al) on November 5th, 1991. Justifiable Homicide. The idea that the universe is run by some cosmic supra-hero concept of ourselves is absurd and unproven. The idea that the creator of the universe put us here in these bodies to satisfy some moral experiment is offensive. The God question; "What are we doing here?", may or may not be valid. At this time, we are here because the physical laws of the universe are not completely against our existence. Our short time of consciousness would be far better served ensuring our survival rather than posturing before some misanthropic cosmic deity.
The only government, the only rule of law, is economics. However our societies are structured, whatever religion or ethnicity, we have all decided that those with relatively more assets have better lives than those with less relative wealth. All measured value is economic value in this system.

Ominous

"What luck for rulers that men do not think". - Adolf Hitler
This quote I came across today has an ominous feel to it. I hate to bring Hitler or Nazi into any discussion because of the voluminous popular culture nonsense on both subjects have obscured any actual historical reference. But Hitler, if anything else, was a master propagandist whose words more than actions motivated a nation into insanity. It was his ability to make men feel and act rather than think and act that gave him the opportunity to invent the Third Reich. Today, the same quote resonates, but I would alter it slightly. "What luck for rulers than men cannot think." There is more propaganda (advertisement) than at any time in our history and the issues we face are more complex. The salivating masses are, while more literate than in Hitlers time, are less inclined and less capable of analytic thought. A good thing for the ruling class.
