Yeah...

Nobody ever said it was easy being a visionary.

And we all know that telling the truth ain't easy, or I suppose we'd all have a lot less to bitch about in life.



One of the few perks of being a nobody who drives around a 25 year old car, I guess. I know I'm on lists for sure just like everybody here except for possibly Brenda, but it don't really bother me none. They know my influence is so small it may as well be nil and I figure at this point they've got to know that I'm not actually a physical danger to anybody. I'm just one of thousands or perhaps even millions of people now that they've put flags on that will end up dying one day of natural causes, having not caused any actual problems for those in power.

If the system is working, than yeah... If I were the one paying for it I'd want to see a million potential hits leading us to the few people who were actually problems and removing them from the equation before they become a real threat.


And some of the stuff I know... Those secrets are going to die with me.

Not because I'm scared. Not because I'm lazy. Not because I don't care...

Because...

I know there's a word for it, although I'm struggling to find it now.... But what do you call information that is better left buried because just knowing it could lead people to madness? Where simply learning about the fact that the subject exists could lead many, many people to madness.

Do you read Sutter Cane?

There it is... The word...

Are there things no one should know? Is more information always good? Or will some knowledge almost certainly lead to the end of civilization?

At least it's the soulless, HR lawyerspeak word for it.


I think it probably deserves and likely even has a more fitting spiritual name that currently escapes my grasp.


An obvious word to go to would be Blasphemous, but I believe that word has been used so many times in history to simply manipulate thought and/or keep people from ever thinking outside of their box. Anything so strongly attached with The Church would not be a fitting word for it.


It's not the 1990's anymore and it's not shocking to say that we all know that the government hides an unbelievable amount of information from us. We've witnessed the transition of ideas out of hte box being labled as conspiracy theories to only be proven as the truth. Sometimes it only takes 6 months. Sometimes decades. But the truth eventually does usually find its way out. But none of the people who lived that truth were celebrated for their eventual vindication. Most of them end up dead a long time before that happens. And those who are still alive usually aren't in the best of shape and aren't really in the mood to celebrate.

That's what all the warnings about staring into the void, and how it stares right back into you were all about...

It's very doubtful any of their lives would have turned out any better for them had they lived with what they knew and kept it all to themselves. Those fake autopsy reports claiming self-infliction with two bullet holes in the head would likely have been replaced with real ones and only a single hole anyhow.



It's times like these when I look back on reading 1984 and then following that up immediately by reading Brave New World, both for the first time.

I found myself almost enjoying my time in Brave New World even as I was horrified about how the government had so long ago erased the family unit and completely replaced it with what essentially is factories worldwide incubating the youth. At least for those who weren't outcasts, this is a world with no family. No tribes. No community. No allegiance to anybody but the Government. Back when I read them, I thought to myself the only reason I found that world even moderately appealing was because I had literally just finished reading about Winston's horrible end in that dreadful world...

But at the same time... Brave New World more or less works.

The entire time you're reading it, at least the first half of the book, you're in the mind of Bernard. Bernard is a character that would not exist in his world, but if Bernard didn't exist, than there wouldn't be a book to write. So Bernard had to exist.

They had it all figured out, and everything had been implemented somehow for so long that the children cringed when even hearing about the concept of Motherhood and Fatherhood and how barbaric people used to be before they were all enlightened.

Through statistics and algorithms, you've long known exactly how many people you'd need for what level of labor. Your long-term history with the trends has been nearly flawless, and people have trust in that system. It is highly adaptable, and can be fed new information and change its prediction models based off of the new data very quickly.

So you grow them. The people, that is. And you determine how many people will be smart, and how many will be born too stupid to know how shitty their lives are going to be, simply because they drew the short straw on the day they were artificially created. It's a mercy when you think about it, really. In a world with no family units, no procreation, mandated short flings in lieu of any long and meaningful relationships, no real ties to anybody else as well as having the ability to give this mercy to those who are destined for a life of hard manual labor
