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.

Entertained into submission



The United States is interminably in debt and the people running the government are  interminably corrupt.  The Catholic church protected pedophiles.  The same politicians keep getting elected to office and the new Pope is celebrated throughout the world.  The reason sports on television is so profitable is that the viewer's visual cortex is telling the brain things on the TV are real.  We react emotionally to what we see on television as if we were part of the sporting event.  When we see the pomp and circumstance of the new Pope we get a happy limbic response.  There can be no revolution, no change without deprivation.  We have to be in a fight, which is hard to do when we are so well entertained.  Video games are so addictive because physiologically and emotionally they resemble the real world.  We have become satiated with our entertainment and as a result, we haven't the strength to fight.  Our emotions have been co-opted by the glowing box, phone, and computer.  Our destiny is in the hands of others because the masses are satisfied with a virtual reality.
