Aer Lingus* gave me the 'flu
- and this was mid-June, mind you!
Ten days in bed...
I wished I was dead
or at least was able to sue.
* [Aer Lingus is Ireland's snooty and deposed national airline,
now lowish-cost - if you book early.]

Western Values
exterminated these fine specimens, too.
(WVs always eliminate the toughest,
always want to bring down the alpha-males
whether lions, tigers or superior people.)
If it is warm enough (in summer, anyway) to live without clothes
on Tierra del Fuego,
not so far from Antarctica,
why are we forced and brainwashed to do so ?
For two reasons:
1. The nasty genital-obsessed Abrahamic religions which have taken over the world.
2. Without the huge areas of land devoted to growing cotton
and the huge factories devoted to processing it
and the huge factories devoted to fashioning it
and the millions of underpaid workers involved in all this
our nasty and criminally-wasteful capitalist system would collapse.

Adam Zagajewski, a celebrated poet, wrote:
"Only in marriage do love and time,
eternal enemies, join forces."
Well, he's not Rilke, not Miłosz,
but a middle-class
triumphalist Polish Catholic,
living in the USA,
so he would write
such populist, trite,
sub-militarist tripe.

The benefit of Literature.
I have read perhaps 500 novels
and, although I understand people
(especially males)
better than I otherwise would have,
I am no better at coping with them
(and my own shortcomings)
than if I had not read a single one.

Until AI* saves the planet,
the more technology we rely on,
the stupider we will get.
* by this I mean the unlikely perfection of Artificial Intelligence,
not the god-playing practice of Artificial Insemination.

The basic problem with socialism
is that it is obsessed with labour
(hence The British Labour Party),
production, and consumption.
Thus it inevitably supports
the exploitation of 'resources',
whether human or non-human
in as crass a way as capitalism.

When the Lakota Sioux were asked
by the stupid, murderous
white Greedies if they would sell
"their" land, they gravely wondered if
"their" sky was included in the
(dishonoured) deal.

Darrel Whitaker,
from Glenwood Springs in Colorado,
claims a sasquatch attacked him
and attempted to rape him
while he was walking in the woods...
Hi there, Darrel (poor guy, what a name!) -
it happens to us all, sooner or later.
But the rest of us keep quiet about it.

I'm sure -
because I so love going to bed -
that I will be wonderfully happy when I'm dead,
enjoying the eternal bliss
of not having to arise and piss.

My four hints towards self-improvement.
Examine the intention.
Engage the attention.
Enter the unknown -

I will be wonderfully happy when I'm dead,
luxuriating in the eternal bliss
of not having to get up and piss.

Unfortunately, 'Westerners'
are too brainwashed to understand
that what 'Islamists' object to
is less our sham democracy
and aggressively-consumerist 'way-of-life'
and more our multi-level
hypocrisy, which universal curse
of civilisation they want to replace
with their own - apparently even worse.

Reflections on Flannery O'Connor.
Very many millions
are poorer than the dead,
for the dead owe nothing
to anyone, and they know
that life is no gift,
just indebtedness,
misunderstanding.
What dies with our bodies
is the construction of consciousness,
and beyond fragile awareness
nothing can be known,
nothing experienced.

Something we now forget
is that almost all people
(crown princes, viziers,
royal stewards, generals,
as well as tenant farmers,
slaves and servants)
were expendable
and easily replaceable.

She had a degree in biochemistry
- which meant that she changed the sheets,
cleaned out the fridge,
and emptied the pedal-bin in the kitchen.
How much has changed
since The Women's Room
was published in 1977 ?
