How smart are we?

[IJesusChrist]

As always, I was thinking the other day:

I was actually camping in the woods for 4 days, and I came back and it was kind of a culture shock, but more on the lines of a species shock.

I saw a billboard of Verizon Wireless. I instantly knew what it was, and I instantly knew that everyone else knew what it was. I felt like we were all connected. (Puke). But I realized that we all had this odd sense of security, like... the world is safe.

We have these large companies, they stretch far over the world, everyone knows them. McDonalds, AT&T, Viacom (do u?) etc... And its kind of like we band together by this. Its weird.

I also was thinking about pavement. How much we have just so we can drive our cars. Its like we know there are roads where we want to go (mostly) and that we can just drive our car almost like they were always there. Of course we know they weren't before, but we rarely think of that. Rarely.


I really enjoy thinking about what others do not. I like to see the world through eyes not occupied by a normal human mind, atleast thats what my human mind likes.

When I flick the light switch in my room I imagine the power supplier burning coal to turn turbines to run electrons through my light bulb and then return again to the power supplier. When I watch a movie I tend to imagine the directore watching the actors, and viewing them as acting, rather than as a story. When I see a bottle of shampoo, I like to think how the inventor of that shampoo got his idea to create it.

The purple waterfall is caressing my silk. I feel the warmth yurning for my insides, like a furry rabbit cuddling in a quilt. Goodnight

I also tend to think outside the box but instead of wondering how it came to be I think of how it could be alterd it or how it could be used in a different way.

like I often think if we could replicate photosynthesis we could create a cybernetic tree that could pump tons of clean air into the world.

or how maby cybernetic components will be added to the human body to increase performance like memory or vision.

more then likely there some what delusional but fun to think about and often solve issues that are in debate or a major concern.

like why can't we have a purple waterfall?

or yellow grass?

Not uh I think more differently(rude sarcasm) like this is all just some big joke, some ones laughing. CHAOS HAHAHAHAHA Im LOSING MY MIND. THIS IS A JOKE IT MUST BE FAKE THIS IS A JOKE IT MUST BE FAKE. They all cant be touching and probing this deep but I can feel their hands on my insides just playing around and pixies whispering words that sound sweet but rot once you think them over. Rotting I am ROTTING In my own internal chaos and I'm sure your probably all fake and I'm not sure if i am in a dream or not or a coma or if life isn't even real if its really all just thought floating in nothingness. Words escape me but no one listens no one can hear and im bashing on their heads and it all just falls appart and i turn into a bableing psycho the drunk they all must distance themselves from. I am a false Dean Mortiary. Zappa is looking at me, squeezing pushing down with his thumb cause hes always watching always recording is he jason.. im unsure... im sure hes some one i know, or maybe he isnt maybe hes that scraggly red haired man I see everywhere, or that man I saw that one morning who thought everything I thought and I never saw him again. Or maybe its only my thoughts that are fake maybe im just like my father destined to be a babbling loony soon to turn violent. WHY ARE ALL THE Stories I READ ABOUT ME! I cant be everyone it makes no sense.. so my conundrum i know it makes no sense to everyone and i know its insane so it hurts fighting it all the time. Why cant i be a dumb saint... The silly nonsense makes sense please just listen try to understand we must all feel it i know it, or life just cant be real.

mrvitorsky you kinda lost me there, I like sci fi shit, other planets and stuff.

im rotting in my own internal chaos???

 

[mrvitorsky]

As In how much this question and these feelings are hurting so much, im stuck inside a loop of terrible thoughts it its all consuming. All I said is how I literally feel. Like zappa the muscian is actually watching me... well if there is reality then everyone, hes either the devil or god or they are one in the same or maybe hes one of many gods, neal cassidy(dean) could be one, or maybe it the other way arround and jack is one not neal and neal is his disciple, or they could both be disciples of some one else all things im unsure of but sure they are in play some how.

We should definitely have a thought-flow thread.

Mrvitorsky I dont understand where you are coming from but it seems exactly like I know. When you see the world as yours but your trapped in your box it is easily disturbed by the slightest things. A laugh here, a cough there, it seems like a grenade in the air but why so exstatic about being rotten on the inside friend? You must know there were many before you that have felt the same and come out, it seems to be just a feeling. A fleeting feeling to blanket your love, even your hate then trample on it with a spike carapace.

Do not worry. Zabba Abba Adda Zadda is not watching you, nothing is at the moment but yourself. Realize you are not behind the chair nor drinking your coffee but within nothing of the speakers I have laid in front of the box I can't get out of the garage why am I laying here in the bath tub outside while its a fog rain to bring the mudpuppies above and die by the racoon of the night. The sweet, tingling violet velvet of the night. Ysopurple?

Maybe its too many fiery liquids dropped or the crown of the father. I have accepted too far into my own thought patterns, I have turned the wavering jumping senseless voice crackling on the other side of the golden phone into pure belief cause I cant accept or understand anything else... its all there is, this is what makes sense now. And I cant get past the fact that I feel like im stuck in the same idea, everything I write slowy starts to say the same thing as well as what i read. Im realizing its just chaos, no meaning. Its all fake we or only my own mind built this up it means nothing all this is meaningless, its no different if we exist or dont, and if their is some sort of god hes just some dirty old pervert spying thru a pair of binoculars... thus zappa, when he first cracked into me in a trip through 200 motels, told me how to think, told me what it was, its all just a game. We are all just mask, and people they vary so little or maybe its how i see them, I mean ive moved over 18 times in my life and well, every one exist in some other form somewhere else, these characters are set, or do i just feel that way cause im sure im being watched, who knows.

It actually makes me a little sick to know that McDonald's, AT&T, Viacom are so widespread. It makes me even sicker to know that the spell checker I have built into my browser did NOT flag "Viacom" as a misspelled word, and that it told me to add an apostrophe to make McDonald's into the company name ("McDonalds" IS still a word, just not the company).

It really makes you realize just how pervasive and invasive these corporations are. They drill their way into your brain, into your very thought process and try to instill their slogan, their product their image into your mind. What's worse is that now we are all largely dependent on them. If you are on here, you're part of the electric company, part of your ISP, part of Microsoft or Apple (ugh, it recognizes "Microsoft" too), and part of the store you bought your computer from. We've all but lost our self reliance to these one-stop-shop places like Walmart (which my spell checker does NOT recognize!) who push their brands down our throats in order to make a quick buck.

Unless there is a world-wide change to our thought process, we as a human race are ****ed.

First: MrVitorsky
You are pretty deep. You will only get dumber, wiser from here on out. I was in the black tar pits of green necessity and gracious disturbances about 500 days ago. Selfmedication is beautifuck.

ArcticPhoenix:
IS it that they drill their logos into our mind, or is it that we easily accept them psychologically? I believe its the second. I personally like that there are things that bring the entire world a little bit closer to one mass, but I do dislike that their intentions are definitely NOT to bring people together. Their intentions are $ and ^ (power lolz).

Will we ever understand consciousness? Do you think it is possible?

DISCUSS.NOW.

 

[mrvitorsky]

I think we can have understanding of consciousness but we will never be able to fully interpret it cause we are experiencing it. Ego/delusions/etc. get in the way of properly interpreting ego/delusion/instinct/etc.
