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.

Title Game



This blog is dedicated to the truth, and the truth of the matter is that the College football game tonight is entirely for entertainment purposes only.  If it were not played, we would find our entertainment elsewhere.  People in the United States are both easily entertained and have ample entertainment resources available to us.  It is important to distinguish entertainment from real world concerns, which we have a hard time doing.  If Notre Dame loses tonight I will only be temporarily devastated and if they win, I will be temporarily elated.   That is the nature of entertainment.  The students of Notre Dame and Alabama will not have their GPA's increased or decremented based on the game.  The fans will not receive a raise if their team wins, nor will the government become fiscally responsible at the game's conclusion.  We over-value and misunderstand the nature of entertainment because it is internalized by our brains as though we were playing the game.  The emotions are real, but the effects are what we make of them, to out detriment.
