The 100th Thread Post

It's a bit of a milestone, and I'm claiming it! May it be repeated another 1,000 times.

Hi Nurse Park.

Keep your chin up. Message boards are dying out all over the world. Perhaps you can help bring them back to life.

I think it's a symptom of the increasing non-humanity of a global population hypnotized by TV and instant media in all its forms.



I am convinced that 99% of 'humanity' has no internal monologue at all. No thoughts, no desires outside of the base physical, no interests or loves or curiosites.



How can I be curious about Life unless the TV tells me I should be curious? How shall I respond to a post that discusses things which TV has supplied me with no opinions about? How shall I create threads about my own thoughts and interests until TV tells me what those are? And then you can just watch my thoughts op MSCNNBCBSFOX.



We are living in a literal Matrix, trapped with automata with no genuine inner life.



Oh well. At least I wasn't born in Djibouti.

I think that people are smarter than you think they are. Take the folks who want to castrate children and sponsor satanic groups for the kids at school. They are devious and intelligent at the same time.

I'm not talking about intelligence though. Far from it. Whatever lies at the root of the trait I am talking about is not a matter of Smarts.

Let's take Ted Bundy as an example. They claim Bundy had an IQ of 136  A borderline genius. They also claim the average doctor has an IQ of 120-125, just for reference.

So Bundy was much higher than me in terms of raw intelligence. But what good did it do him? There is no correlation between IQ and wisdom, morality, and happiness as far as I can tell.

When I was a boy I had a neighbor named Dennis. Dennis was Amish and never went past the 8th grade. Dennis used to carry a notebook with him everywhere he went, and every time he met a stranger he would ask that person for his autograph. He must have had hundreds in his collection.

The reader may be tempted to dismiss this exercise as pointless at best, or invasive at worst, but consider. Dennis was doing this because his own unique mind and world view told him it was worthwhile. He didn't get it from a TV show, or a book, or a magazine. Dennis was exercising his own unique set of motivations and distinct personality. Dennis had his own internal world and marched to his own internal drum. Dennis' deeds were altogether a product of Dennis. 

It is very rare to encounter this anywhere. Most people do not demonstrate any evidence of internal motivation at all. They talk about the same 'news', they regurgitate the same talking points, they adopt various tokens of their identity-- teams, clubs, political parties, ribbons, decals, tee shirts.

But when you try to sound them out on their own thoughts and ideas, you get nothing. There's nothing there.

Dennis, with his horse and his buggy and his 8th grade education, was a hundredfold more human than nearly everyone you will meet in your lifetime.

Something is terribly wrong.
