You know what's really fucking lame?

She was incredibly brave and an aspie. No social skills to speak of but a sharp brain.

Like Claudius 

[odeon]

And she lived to be a hundred years old. I suspect she might have been the oldest living aspie in the world when she died.

I quite like Richard.

          He makes me laugh.

Me too!

I'm getting a bit tired of laughing at stupid people.
They are constant reminders of my complete lack of faith, and that the world is here for no reason, and that there is nothing written anywhere guaranteeing the human race - in fact, most evidence, such as Richard, point to the opposite direction. We are random, we are error, and we are doomed

Such drama wigger marley. maybe you should go smoke some more cactus and buy another lion t-shirt. That might restore your faith

How are we doomed zeg? There have been claims from religious* people, the Mayan prophecy idiots and many others just in my 53 year lifetime that the end is nigh. It has not happened up to this point. I am not inclined to live my life as if I am doomed because others make that claim. Other than that carry on zeg.

We are doomed to get nowhere, while following impossible dreams.
As a species we have been dreaming of "something higher" for thousands of years, and so far, all we have is more complicated stuff, fancyer clothes, and niftyer guns.
People keep talking about space exploration, but they are completely stumped when reminded of something as simple as light year distances, they begin to stutter about "white hole travel", then you remind them that nobody would survive that, and they stutter something about generational travel, but that is also simply impossible.
Even in theory it is only barely possible, in practice it wouldn't even last past our solar system.

We won't evolve into something "higher", that's not how evolution works, and unless people have a full and complete understanding of evolution, I beg them not to argue that point, cus they'll equate evolution with wishful thinking "Sure! We will evolve bigger brains, higher capacity, more awesomeness!" No, no and no, we won't, "HOW DO YOU KNOW!?" stfu and read about genetics.

If you remove spiritualist bullshit, wishful thinking, star trek and anything else that simply isn't real then no, there is no particular hope for our species on this planet.
We will drugde on. That is our best hope. Our greatest ambition can be something as down-to-earth and realistic as pasting a huge Pepsi ad on the moon.

  We could all be geniuses and we'd still be doomed.  Life is too short not to laugh.

But there's so much else to laugh at. I want to smile at what's worthy and valuable. Nature, friends, fun stuff. I really don't wanna make myself love the cause of our doom. I want to ignore it, and occupy myself with other things.
That's my point :]

  I took  "doomed"  to refer to our individual mortality, maybe I misunderstood. 


  Speaking of doomsday talk, someone at my job insists that a planetary alignment on
  or around 12/21 will knock all our satellites out of the sky, causing planet-wide power
  outages for months and a total collapse of society.  She of sourse is not worried; SHE
  grew up on a farm and can live off the land.

Planetary alignment can do only one thing: nothing.



This is right back about peoples inherent flaw: they think they matter - to the universe.
Planets are aligned only from a certain angle, a given point in space - just where we happen to be. Had we been on Mars, the planets wouldn't be aligned. The planets themselves are experiencing none of this alignment. This just means the alignment itself is something subjective - not real.

  She's going to be really pissed if we ring in 2013 with all lights blazing!
