This is how the blog ends
I gave the idea of propagating an empirical examination of society a try. There is no audience to be found. The reign of used car salesmen and robber barons continues unabated while the salivating masses force their attention on the shiny objects of celebrity and entertainment. Instead of thinking and acting as though we could direct our intelligence and imagination to make the world incrementally more equitable, I have decided to relegate myself to the sidelines and watch the parade. The blog will remain, as it costs me nothing to let it slowly decay into a black hole of obscurity, and occasionally I will post an esoteric thought or thesis, but the days of challenging the tsunami of propaganda are over. I didn't attempt to make this blog a contest. I was hoping to start an empirical discussion of how to conduct ourselves in a civilized manner with an eye to enhancing our survival outside of the mythical and dogmatic constraints of religion, politics, race, and doublespeak that permeates the current dialogue. It was cathartic to rage against the machine, even briefly. But my missionic(I know it's not a word) zeal was misplaced. The best way to change the world is to sit quietly in one's room.
