Well now that was a surprise.

There I was doing deep analysis of esoteric wing sections...and... how long does it take to get over true love, and how do we handle the possibility that it won't come round again? WTF is true love anyway? Why are we victims of our bodies, and where does the awesome smoothness come from when we're in tune with our bodies? I contacted my subconscious in the shower this morning. She gave me an ultimatum, without demanding anything. A Statement. Be with me, or Be without me. Perhaps we're not victims of our bodies, Our bodies are victims of us. Geez civilization is a heady veneer.

I got asked today, what do I think of homeopathy...I said, I think it works, but not for the reasons everyone thinks. On reflection...it's a crock of shit. What makes it work is our minds. The Placebo effect. But the stuff itself is a scam. Quantum water, quantum bracelets, tachyon thingummies that you stick on your cellphone to protect you from... what? Excuse me...WTF is a tachyon? If the dudes who invented the term are still struggling to figure out what it MAY be, how exactly is some idiot able to produce a sticker for your cellphone that protects you from those particles? I assume he has done the truly formidable maths, has the years of particle physics study under his belt, and is so far ahead of the incredibly dedicated people (who HAVE done the maths) who are researching quantum effects that he can actually produce a sticker that counteracts an as yet unproven particle that does what? Whooo, we all need to be protected from that particle....

And people buy this shit. ...and I'm taken on for not being Christian, or New Age or whatever. For my money, Christians have been taken to the cleaners... I would call them stupid, except that I think that there is a loophole in our brains for a meme called religion. We're susceptible. You can catch religion, just like you can catch the common cold, or the plague. With similar results. Useless to the rest of humanity. Ok, thats off my chest.
