"the rumor mill tells us Joe Don Baker himself hates us, and wishes us all dead, and if he met any one of us and knew who we were, he would probably take a swing, miss by a mile, spill his drink all over his rented arm-candy escort, and fall backward into the hors d'ouevre table."

Stop for me, it's the claw!



I spent half an hour reading about realtivity and qunatum mechanics the other night, so I feel I'm qualified to say things - You are actually already dead even though you see yourself as alive. Everything that will happen to you has actually already happened. Existence is a self fulfilling prophecy where death is the only definite outcome.

You do exist, but only as a concept, an illusory side effect of language. Other examples of things that exist in exactly this way are God and unicorns.

In other words, Atheists don't exist.

We are all alienated from ourselves by the very concept of self. Our thoughts and existence are mediated by language, rather than experienced directly. "I is another."

The human phenomenon is but the sum
of densely coiled layers of illusion,
each of which winds itself on the supreme insanity
that there are persons of any kind,
when all there can be is mindless mirrors,
laughing and screaming as they parade about
in an endless dream

all is vanity, op

a generation goes, and a generation comes
but the earth remains forever
the sun rises, and the sun goes down
and hastens to the place where it rises

the wind blows to the south
and goes around to the north
around and around goes the wind
and on its circuits the wind returns

all streams run to the sea
but the sea is not full
to the place where the streams flow
there they flow again
