| | Morality is the worst invention of mankind | | | Tuesday, December 2, 2008 (1:28 PM)
(I'm feeling calm) | | It really is amazing how poor it is. The authorities always justify to themselves why they can do certain things that others can't. You know, how cops or soldiers can get away with killing or abusing an unarmed person but Plaxico Burress is the bad guy for shooting himself in the leg with an illegal gun. 3.5 year minimum is an absurd penalty, but I'm not the one making these dumb rules that make Final Fantasy Tactics Advance look smart.
This does not always pertain to governments though: families, schools, even peers can force you to do things and make you insecure solely because they exaggerate your flaws, in which most of the time, it isn't even that big a deal and can be expressed in a much friendlier way. I tend to visualize myself drinking some tea and relaxing as I calmly tell a person that I can influence how they made a mistake or that I may not like the way they are dressed. We are human beings after all, and this is part of our subjective experience. It would be ridiculous to arrest someone for not liking a person's style of clothes, tattoos, earrings, etc. especially if they are not going to bully someone over it.
I also am starting to see that a person's humanity ends where their sexuality begins. It is just crazy how obsessed people are with sex and are willing to degrade anyone who is even a half-step below their ideals or even themselves. It goes to show that beauty is nothing more than exaggerated proportions. It's even crazier how much people only identify themselves that way, like that's all they are. Talk about one-dimensional. I guess they just want to be part of a group, even if they make themselves inferior on purpose. Then of course the ignorance of conclusions, which makes things worse for everyone: like making kids they cannot possibly support, or taking victims for granted just because their group is disprivileged. But then I suppose that's why it's just equality with the benefits. False beliefs like this just make me sick.
There also are the pressures that can worsen a person that a society or group of people put on him or her. Apparently, even if we're not going to demolish someone, we're not allowed to hate or dislike anyone or anything, no matter how absurd it is, unless it is popular. It's really sad to be honest. I think of the dead silence I had in a class of mine when I said reasoning is used by people to justify their emotions: I feel happy about this, I justify it with reason, aha! I have 2 things which makes me super happy now. When I say reason, it can be fridge logic, full of contradictions, impossible scenarios, and other unquestioned nonsense (especially that humans are special solely for having the body of humans. What about animals like cows or birds? I understand insects have a very short life span and get in the way, like in your house when you don't want them, too often but they reproduce quickly as do the rodents that live longer) that goes around because the majority believe it. When someone's core beliefs are questioned, it shatters this happiness, and now they are furious and hellbent on destroying the person who shattered their sanctuary of ignorance (Fun phrase from The Boondocks in the 1st episode).
The worst part of it all is how people are obsessed with rights now. It's honestly more important to learn discipline and endure or avoid verbal abuse from others as a way of learning to control oneself. The problem is people want to demand respect from people and honestly that doesn't work; it should be earned because it is more of an honest respect, than one censored by silence. Strongarming a person into liking you is a way to create unwanted strife. Then of course all the lies to make a person feel better get ridiculous too.
It's nothing more than a crappy game of forced obedience. This is true with political correctness, to claim how everyone has a right not to be offended. It's going to happen sooner or later; people need a nonabusive way of expressing that disgust, such as thinking of it to themselves, making a story or artwork that demeans it, or even just showing disgusted facial expressions rather than broadcasting it. Then of course it can get really petty, with my title use of mankind over humankind. For people that trifling, give me a break and go after the real villains who are so adamant about the people they don't like that they are willing to resort to violence or not even let them get a word in edgewise, regardless of if they are better than them or not.
But I guess they just want to pick fights with those they can win solely because the winning gives them pleasure hence that will use a type of logic that is solely used for satisfying these emotions. You'd think it'd be fair to let the men refer to humanity as mankind and the women to refer to it as womankind or a default person as he for the men and she for the women in how they think for themselves.
Apparently, morality is nothing more than a crappy game in which those who yell the loudest state the rules. There is no negotiation, only obedience. At least with negotiation, you learn about the person and can actually adopt any good habits they might have. If you point out the truth when you negotiate with someone respectable, you will not be scorned because at least both of you have a good common goal. It's quite sad how it promotes guilt trips for nonsense too and how people feel it's their duty to right every trivial wrong that ever existed even if it is practically impossible. I guess their obsessions is what makes a lot of activists, moral junkies.
It's also ridiculous how much they can regurgitate some popular babble from a popular source to justify their circular reasoning (starts and ends with emotions to feel better, rather than just being honest about facts and evidence) to themselves. Honestly, it is so cliche that it is ridiculous. When will people create their own quotes rather than just quote somebody popular. You can even criticize popular quotes too, such as being open and being yourself to everyone but perhaps originality is too high of a standard for some people and they do not want to admit it (they want to believe they know everything rather than go easy on someone until they know everything important about them and the circumstances indicate that not being harsh will make the situation snowball even worse). That will just get yourself huurt or even killed, especially if you're unpopular; it's all about reading and reacting. So many problems can be easily avoided, but many people just want to make a war about it for their pride or whatever superficial values they have.
Even more annoying is the fact that people feel things are only acceptable if it does not make them want to hurt a person who commits this action. It's just a violent mentality that encourages a mob behavior. This is definitely the worst part of morality, when someone imposes this. Honestly, how far can someone take this is beyond belief. If someone does drugs, carries a gun, dresses like a whore, wears tattoos, or dislikes a popular institution or culture, they will be pushed hard. Apparently these moral crusaders do not have any kind of limitations on how to treat someone. I personally think it's too high of a standard to think that people are moral; sure there are exceptions, but it's better to react to a person's actions so it doesn't affect you, even if it annoys you, rather than get hostile and break everything because there will be worse things to happen. We live a life full of consequences, not a day where we can forget everything that happens when we go to sleep.
The best thing to do really is just manipulate the people you don't like: as I said in my survival guide, placate them, make your answers ambiguous if you can, and feign obedience if you can't just avoid them. If, by some miracle, you find something likable, there's nothing to undo if you didn't broadcast it, and you can open up to the person a little more. If not, you're still winning since you at least cut your losses. Besides, at least you can feel proud that you have more ideas than those who resort to violence and coercion even if you couldn't get the person to work to your benefit (though it helps problems resolve faster when it's all in your head).
At the end of the day, principles are superior to morals because you impose them only on yourself, you aim to improve your relationships with the people that earned your respect rather than blindly giving people some lousy form of censored respect, and you aim to improve yourself even if you are alone rather than assimilate to people whose poor values will erode you of your potential. It'll also teach you to avoid debating with people who have poor goals. Discipline will get you to stop preoccupying your mind with thoughts of an annoying person that you'll probably never see again by getting you to have a one-track mind on something that can help you out such as excelling somewhere, thinking, going outside, entertaining yourself, or something else.
You can focus on what probable conclusions any set of actions you make will entail and how to endure psychological beatings with how ignorant a lot of people are. Let's not believe in equality and backtrack. It would be better to be gentle with inequalities because everyone is different and some are better than others. But apparently this concept has been raped because the ones who I inherit this word from were violent and abusive and used the whole inequality aspect to justify that with their poor reasoning. It's sort of like the game bullshit (or cheat for those who don't swear), in which you can say anything and so long as it passes, it's accepted. Though it's gotten so bad, that it feels rigged, like you can't call someone out; it's like for these types of people, making the bottom of the barrel is an accomplishment. | | | 4 Views | 0  Thumbs Up | 0 Comments |  |

| | Mr. Variant's Survival Guide | | | Saturday, November 8, 2008 (2:53 PM)
(I'm feeling discontent) | | I just wanted to make a guide here for living as best as you can given poor conditions and having to deal with people that are completely inferior (ie worthless because they make you want to tear your hair out when you talk to them if not want to hurt them) to you.
1)We shouldn't have obsessions. That will kill or harm you in the end. Honestly, with something like racism, you'd think these morons would do something enjoyable like play golf by themselves and avoid whoever they hated rather than band together and do violence. It just shows a lack of intelligence since enough of any group of people can overtake 1 person easily, and this is done even easier with all the weapons available (ie a child with a gun can kill any adult). Other obsessions are really bad too: poisoning yourself with beauty products or having to feel suicidal solely because you cannot make the friends you want. Both are really based a lot on luck because of #2.
2)Your rules only exist for your universe; we live in a multiverse full of different rules, even contradicting ones, for each universe. You must know when to withdraw out of poor arguments that people can make when they have a poor mentality. The common themes now are anti-racism and sexism which have become #1, an obsession to any minor degree. Just thinking that a man is better than a woman at something puts you under tremendous pressure. Even if it is true (like let's say that out of all the people you deal with, you find more men beneficial than women; that's your personal experience and there's no way anyone can deny that), they'll just go after you even if you don't have a poor mentality (#3).
3) Just bail out of conflicts, especially the ridiculous ones concerning rights (they really do not exist and anyone can waive anyone else's rights by force or neglect and get away with it: authorities by force and anyone else by neglect. The term is worthless too as it negates itself as people have a right to ruin their relationships so long as it does not harm you; drug addiction, suicide, hypocrisy, and holding onto false beliefs despite contrary evidence are all rights too, but they harm anyone who wants to negotiate, at least emotionally.) and you'll be able to survive. I think this whole rights brigade hate being questioned and want it to be taken for granted. A lot of people who believe in rights get mad at me when I used to call them out on their hypocrisy or poor arguments. Which just shows what a poor mentality this is. I withdrew from debating when I see that people defending their actions with poor judgments (the majority allow it, it is only true because I want it to be true and abusive goals). These types of people should be avoided.
4)Mentality is very important. You have to do more than read people's logical arguments. You have to learn to look for their goals. An argument can be said that men are more rational than women, but if the guy's mentality is to legally rob you (ie rip you off with some really bad products, such as those terrible games I review), you're better off dealing with the woman, even if she has no talents at all because she has a good mentality. However, this does not mean that you necessarily should lower your guard with women too since they can get awfully tricky or forceful too. The main issue is that like I said in #2, you have to see the goals a person and judge their manners accordingly. When I say manners, I mean way in which they do things (do they become their enemies by not restraining their desires to abuse them verbally or physically and do they try to avoid useless conflicts whose only gain is harming themselves).
5)Endure your pain as much as you can. The only way someone can hurt you is if you fall down; that is if you allow them to hurt you. If you can survive a person's actions, even their deaths may not even phase you. There are a few ways you can defend yourself psychologically from people by minimizing damage: a) Jam them. Get them to be quiet in the same way you restrain a person to stop them from throwing punches. Make your answers, short, concise, and ambiguous to prevent them from being angry. b)Avoid them: Not being their to hear their nonsense is stress relief. c) Preoccupy your mind with ways to channel your anger or end your own depression (having friends you can speak openly with helps in addition to those who want to spend time doing what you enjoy rather than you assimilate to their needs; assimilation sucks because you lose a part of who you are). It used to frustrate me so much to have to deal with poor arguments that people justify solely with their own group membership (it is their universe).
6)Compensate for people's inequalities. You're going to have to be a slave here and pretty much restrict what you're going to say when you know it'll frustrate them: truth or lie. The whole contradictions of a culture can be quite frustrating: be honest only about the beliefs that I examine (2+2 is not equal to 5 is fine, but not the fact that I'm annoyed about the fact that a person willingly harms themselves or exercises constantly in futility by taking things for granted). People are not all equal and it is necessary to have to read and react for them in order to survive. If it was true that people were really equal (not some empty promise on paper), you'd be able to speak openly and your critics wouldn't want your blood (goes back to #1 with obsessions). These people love their mobs more than anything else and would not adapt for the world (goes back to #2 with that whole multiverse aspect).
7)Have an actual title rather than a social identity. I think of myself as a duelist who masquerades as a strategist in the way I'd like to do things conflicts with what I have to do to stay alive. I have to restrain my principles such as honesty which hurts people though not delivered in an abusive way. I need to have meaningful victory conditions so that I don't have an obsession about myself or someone else about impossible things such as being able to get an irrational person to process information of a thing you proved them wrong on rather than them act violently towards you. The whole aspect of sheerly proving my superiority is another example of a victory condition because once I finished, I don't have a need nor want to have to abuse a person. Even if the person is not as qualified as I am, I can always impose a self-handicap (ie sandbag) and learn what I can do in a less than ideal situation; this learning experience helps a lot.
8) Learn from your mistakes and avoid the hype of a culture. Beauty in a culture is nothing more than exaggerated proportions that mainly women will be willing to get themselves killed over. I'm tired of feeling like the bad guy solely because I'm a powerless man in these situations and the only words I can say to one of these women who hate this position are "Date me!"
9)Education is a joke; you honestly have to learn things yourself rather than memorize some boring books and drills you will forget 3 days after the exam. Honestly as a child I even thought the dumbest thing to do was to go to school, and I still think so now. I just do it because I need to get something on my resume; nothing else. If you still don't believe me, look at how educated governments are and what atrocities and stupid things they do.
They don't teach you any way to survive or get smart because that's how they want to take advantage of you (getting abused and having to endure it rather than lash out because you're the one who gets suspended sucks, but they won't teach you how to endure inferior people in a class). It is funny though that I do think of how school was frustrating: being bored to death by teachers, memorizing worthless information that is not captivating, and of course dealing with students' issues such as bullying, laziness, or having to deal with petty romances that implode because of someone else's actions. To those who still think they have rights rather than build themselves up, where were my rights the day I went to a school bathroom and took a crap in high school and some jackasses I did not even know throw a garbage can over at me (they ran like cowards and I would've kicked their asses too).
I hope this guide helps a person survive how tough a world this is. You're going to have to avoid worthless confrontations, withhold information from people that are inferior to you, and endure the mistakes others' make that affect you (better hold your breath or wear a flu mask when going in a heavily smoked area if you hate smoking like I do, rather than get mad over it). | | | | 16 Views | 0 Thumbs Up | 0 Comments | |
