I believe
I believe many things, much of which likely falls out of common currents. Like my belief that the soul is a quantum thing and our bodies are just a tool the soul uses for learning.
It can be argued many ways, but thats not the gist of my post. My gist is that I have my beliefs, but I make no claim to universal knowledge: I’m always open to break my belief with the introduction of new knowledge. Note the quantifier there; NEW. At one time, i was quite liberal/leftist in my thinking, but experience, age, and bald-faced logic has taught me otherwise. So, when someone tries to ‘convince me’ that my conservative Capitalist ways are ‘evil’ or just wrong and that I need to be more ‘woke’, they are trying to undo my own education. That doesn’t sit well with me. Now, if they were to present new information, I’d give them a listen, may even debate the ‘issues’ with them (depending on how rough my day/week has been; I can get mean and need a break from people on such occasions) but to ply the same old hippy-dippy Marxist bullshit,,, not gonna happen.
Its rather like my opening statements about a quantum soul. I’ve had many observed ‘things’ happen in my life that do not correlate to a Newtonian Physics answer. And those things led me to formulate other theories about Life, the Universe, and Everything (h/t to Douglas Adams for the laughter) but theories are just that, theoretical until disproven. Even the theory of Evolution is still just theory even though it has not been discredited, it still has points where it fumbles, so can’t become a natural law. Life itself is, in my opinion, far too complicated and oft-times contradictory, to fall under the x+y=z scenario. Its more like, x sometimes divides z to = y, but y cubes z then x raised to the 5th equals Y when z is,,,,,,, you get my point I hope,,,,
All of this comes from a conversation with my dad, and the simple fact is, there is only one way to TRULY know, and not enough have come back from there, with similar enough stories, to give reliable answers. We do not know. And until we make that trip,,,
But, what if, we are those quantum clouds? Or pure energy residing in dark matter between the stars? Or some twirligig electron swirling about an atom in a molecule within a cell of some creature we can’t even imagine?
I do believe. But I also know I am not gifted with universal knowledge, and am humble enough that I won’t preach my beliefs (and this isn’t preaching, just a crack of the door leading to my inner sanctum) Maybe when I was a kid, all the fire and brimstone hollarin’ drove a wedge in my beliefs. Kind of like Tiffany Achin (Terry Pratchett mayherestinpeace) when thinking about the fairy tales “wheres the evidence?”. Lots of words, but words aren’t facts, in and of themselves.
Rather like the words used to sell the recent wave of Coronaphobia1984. If you don’t question the ‘facts’, its super scary. But delve in just a touch and ‘facts’ start to fail, such as ‘deluged hospitals’ that are running 30% understaff intentionally. Or that Israel has a study that keeps getting ignored by the ones screaming the loudest about unmasked unvaxxed peeps are killing grandma. And all of it driven by a seemingly inept Administration that us fast revealing itself as one of the most rabid tyranical Government machines, second only to that of Australia currently (and only because Oz is focused inward, not at Global dominion)
Is Biden really a mental defective being puppeted by some other entity? Maybe. Or is this all a charade to keep the Ameri’can peeps off balance? Maybe. Is there a war between DOTMIL, DOTGOV, and Intelligence? Very likely as the shitshow in Affy is showing, or is the interplay between those three cover for the real deal making between Xi-Den, CCP and Russia for resource control of a virgin territory in Eurasia, with the controlling interest protected by a freshly armed and armored 11th century group of tribal gangbangers?
Honestly, too crazy to think about, but life is most definitely stranger than fiction. A writer has only one real set of variables to work with, embedded inside. Toss in billions of individuals and the variables are near infinite and crazy becomes commonplace. I’ve said it, others have as well “you can’t write fiction this fucked up”. Maybe Clancy or Grisham could, but I’m betting even they are scratching heads while reading the headlines. The mindmaps to keep it straight would cover several walls and look like a brillo pad.
I need a drink now. More laters
