When I wake up in the morning, sometimes debatably 'morning', I usally go for a piss and at some point in the bathroom I usually say out loud "you're a dickhead". Sometimes I say even worse swears. Sometimes I use the F-ing-C word. More recently I've been following it with a comic musing out loud for the benefit of any neighbours with super hearing: "Well, that was my pep-talk for the day."
I think some people look at themselves in the mirror and say "go get 'em tiger!" or something like that. I look at myself and yell "YOU STUPID FUCKING CUNT! YOU'RE A PATHETIC PIECE OF SHIT!!"
I'm not sure this counts as an affirmation. I think you're supposed to tell your reflection that you love it or something like that. If that "What the bleep do we know" stuff is true then I'm well and truly fucked.
I'm probably a realist, or even a slightly begrudging existentialist. I'd like to believe in something beyond, and I kind of do seem to believe in reincarnation, but ultimately I mainly think about the savage realism of reality most of all, and ultimately what forms the core of my beliefs about the world is a pretty cynical outlook that the more fluffy inclined might not feel comfortable with. I see incredible potential in Humanity. I see amazing creativity and genius. But there's a lot of shit that goes with it.
But I decided today that I like Earth. I think we're privileged to have this opportunity. There's heaps of good stuff here, and a lot we might miss in generations to come if it fades away.
I think we'll actually look back on this period and see it as a cultural pinnacle. It will be a great moment in our history which might struggle to be reproduced in the future. As we advance technologically there will be tremendous potential to want to improve ourselves in any way possible. We will jump at the chance to upgrade. But ultimately I think this will take us further and further away from the soul that drives our creativity. The more "super human" we get, the more shit we will get at art. I bet you anything. That's what will happen. It's maybe like the UFO lore that exists around the idea of "Greys" and "Nordics". They're probably actually time travellers. There could well be two streams of future timelines of us coming back in time in their saucers to visit us representing our two possible futures. We either become really evolved Angelic and spiritual beings who look like Viking supermodels, or we wither up into wrinkly grey old hags who live underground and experiment on things. Maybe society will split in two and they will co-exist. Like in HG Wells' "Time machine". In fact maybe that's what he was on about. Maybe the reason "the greys" are abducting people is because they're trying to figure out how to get their souls back after they tweaked with their biology in every way possible and somehow squeezed them out. Probably because they wouldn't listen to people like Rupert Sheldrake.
Those TED fuckers will end up Greys, for sure. Sheldrake will be a Nordic.
