You know you’re lazy when you’re not willing to go through the trouble of taking a ****.

To say that "government is a necessary evil", is it to say that "It is necessary that government be evil"? If that's the case, then that's a pretty despotic way of looking at the role of government. Why can't government be a necessary 'Good'? Why can't positive psychology see through the darkness that is pessimism and Luciferianism and exile those notions to the depths of human nature, instead of raising it to the pinnacle of human being's ego?

The government is like a feeding black hole; ******* everything inward into a swirling vortex until everything reaches one simple, conformed point; singularity. Instead, transmute yourself into something else, something much stronger than the tug of gravity and explore the outer reaches beyond the event horizon. Become unique and delve deeper than before.

Out of red concrete stands an abstraction
held out in space and in isolation.
Posit a location, Pierre
I'll be there to where you be.
But from the ground of the cafe
the distance becomes separated by unity:
point A to point B
pinpointing the heart of reality
for what was once 'to be' now stands 'not to be'.
A pre-judicative attitude always leads
from 'being' to 'non-being'.

Where is the comfort in
trying to rest
between Nothingness?
While negating in
A sleep while asleep?
Am I not self-aware through self-consciousness of
'The Existence of a Nonexistence Existing in Existence'?
How can there be Nothingness if before Nothingness
there is a Consciousness?

There is a Consciousness! From Being!
From a non-being being Being!
Thus, don't premature judge and expect the "expected"
Expect the unexpected
and save nonexistence from non-existence;
from "being" to "non-being"

If only the distance between us could shorten; our bond strength would be much greater.

... and as the moon fell into its own shadow, a whimper from the window came.
And so it was said, "... and so it begins."

“I’m not the conspiracy theorist, you’re the conspiracy theorist. You're the one who believes that 19 islamic terrorists with box-cutters conspired with a bearded man in a cave then bypassed a multi-billion dollar security system to knock down 3 buildings with 2 airplanes. You’re the one who believes that buildings can come down in perfect free-fall and pancake form at free fall speed. I'm not the nutty conspiracy theorist, you are!”

The dawn of a new light will shed a new day.

I'm a prison in my own. Locked away inside these epithelial cells

Ben Bernanke's hanky panky and
Quantitative Easing is so displeasing
A collapsing economy where no one can afford a meal
Sparks a revolution, with the citizens at the wheel.
And when all is over and said and done,
A new Polis will arise, where all is for none.
But the question still remains:
Are you still in bed with your chains?
Or are you awake with a gun:
A strong militia of and for One?

When people say something is complicated, what are they really saying? They're saying that it's really complex. Now, we have to ask ourselves, what is complexity? Well, complexity is merely the order of simple interactions working together as a system to perform a common function. You see, things really aren't all that complex, it's just the illusion created when we look at things holistically and not as individually unique.

An owl is not as old as he is wise,
for he has the eyes to see through the disguise of night.
And aside from that, he differs as well
for we are blinded by the essence of complete darkness as well as in complete light.

There you stand in a ring of fire
feeling gravity **** you down
tearing you away layer by layer.
And like a dying red giant
you collapse and bear defeat.

Here you lay on an ice sheet of apathy;
the chilling wind slapping you in the face.
A precipitation of tears drip from your swollen eyes
and a blue Aura shrouds your head;
you weep your way through this transition.

Now you float; mind from body.
And like an infrared mist of electromagnetic static
you shoot up! Towards the heavens!
Taking your place amongst the stars
and reuniting with your ancestors

What Is ‘Is’?


 -Travis-Philosopher Major
 -Arianna-Pre-Vet

Arianna asks Travis about his Thanksgiving but soon after they begin to talk about the ideals of Philosophy. The following is an account of the conversation that took place...

Arianna
But what ‘is to think....’ I feel like if I just question EVERYTHING then I’ll be set.
I feel like philosophy is a circle of never ending questions.
Travis
It is! It is an attempt to understand the truth! It is a love for wisdom!
Arianna
Through questions?
Travis
While yes, how else would you meet your 'ends'?
Arianna
Hahaha, so it can be thought of as a series of questions?
Travis
Perhaps. Descartes was able to narrow everything he thought and knew about the world into one phrase, 'I think therefore I am'.
Arianna
Is that saying that everything you think ‘you are’?
Travis
You are because you think.
Arianna
I am what?
Travis
You are ‘you’, however, you are not I.
Arianna
Ahh...Hahaha...What if two people think exactly the same thought though? That I mean by, Person 1 is still Person 1, and Person 2 is still Person 2, and yet they are different but are able to think the same thought?
Travis
You got something going there Arianna, however, I would argue that no two people have exactly the same thought. They may think about the same exact thing, but each thought exists 'for itself' as well as 'for the subject'. Hence, two subjects, one must assume two separate 'thoughts'. As for your second dilemma, I agree. Each are the same, 'One', as well as an 'also', the 'other'. Each existing 'for itself' as well as 'for an other'.
Arianna
hahaha hmm... hahaha... whaaat. How can a thought exist for a subject?
Travis
For whom then would the thought exist for?
Arianna
For the person who thought up the thought.
Travis
You just answered your own question.
Arianna
To execute into an action?
Travis
Say more.
Arianna
Well then, why does a thought exist ‘for itself’, Travis?
Travis
Because the ‘thought’ must retain its own 'essence'; its own 'being'. Whatever this thought may be, be it a 'Cupcake', then this newly thought up 'Cupcake thought' must retain its own 'Cupcakeness'.
Arianna
hahaha...but if a thought only exists so it can be turned into an action, why else would we think a thought, that is, if we didn’t want this thought to develop into an action?
Travis
Well, let me explain. We desire our 'objects of desire'. I desire cupcakes. I get this image of a cupcake in my head and its 'deliciousness'. I now take this desire and transcend it, take my thought and convert it into a mechanical form, the action. I would say the action is merely a consequence of our 'thoughts' and 'desires'.
Arianna
hmm I think I agree.
Travis
It is funny too, if you think about Ari, if you think about the Catholic churches and their rituals
Arianna
What do you mean by?
Travis
Well, they eat bread and they drink wine.
Arianna
That is right. The body and blood of christ
Travis
They desire to be a part of Jesus' spirit, so to fulfill their desire they eat his ‘body’ and drink his ‘blood’; they destroy it and make it a part of themselves. Hegel says that this is the relationship between people. This 'Struggle to the Death' for the sole purpose to 'be for yourself'.
You still wanna take a philosophy class?
Arianna
Wait...haha. No I don’t. I wouldn’t MIND it, but it would probably cause brain aneurisms. Explain this ‘struggle to the death’ more.
Travis
While yes, when two self-consciousness’ come into contact with one another, a duel erupts and both struggle to abolish the other for the purpose of realizing its own ‘truth’ and to exist ‘for itself’; both work to **** the other off just for their owns satisfaction and selfish desires to see themselves as independent.
Arianna
hahaha what No! I don’t try to **** off you or Jaclyn!
Travis
But you do, self-consciously at least.
Arianna
No way, no!
Travis
According to Hegel’s ‘Phenomenology of Spirit’ you do.
Arianna
I respect your thoughts because they are so different, but I just continue my way of thinking, that is all.
Travis
I interpret it as an active process. It is not necessarily 'killing' per se. To '****' off a ‘self-consciousness', your not really killing the person off, per se.
Arianna
What are we killing? The other persons thought process? Their ideas?
Travis
It gets confusing. The way that I interpret it is that we **** of their existence by being totally independent and for ourselves. So in a relationship between a master and slave, or a lord and bondsman, this is the struggle that takes place. This is the ‘Struggle to the Death!”

If I gave you a piece of my mind, would you equally give me a piece of yours?

To be abnormal in a normal world, is that so uncool? How about to be unjust in an unjust world? Surely then yes, for I am a fool. Not a fool so cruel, but a fool too cool to abide by societies rules. You see, it is the nature of man to be just as unjust as the unjust world, just as must as it is to be a fool, but not a foolish fool. Now you, you are a tool, for living the just life in an unjust world. You are the tool and I am the Utilitarian, and will use you to my advantage and private interests. That’s just how things go here in this structured place, meant to deface and interface yourself. Desensitize you to yourself; reduce yourself to a cheap exploitative commodity; a means for my planned robbery laid near a veneer of parliament armory. Society rules by the Golden Rule, and that is: Those with the gold are those who rule! Now who is the fool you tool?!

My perception is deception,
so therefore I do not perceive the truth,
but perceive the truth in my own contextual sense.

Don't hold onto opinions as if they were solid concrete objects.
Hold onto an opinion as if it were transparent and malleable.
This will enable you to see through the fallacies and remold the opinion to its true form.
For an opinion is simply just that, an opinion.
And like all opinions, they are interchangeable
in accordance to the allegations of fact.
And a fact overshadows an opinion in all cases
and that is a matter of fact.

The idea is to illicit a thought
in hopes that that thought will transmute into a mechanical action.

If the self is also the other, then who am I?
Am I a college student sitting in the library
reading Phenomenology, contemplating the question of 'being'?
Or am I a nihilist who believes that nothing in life has an existence?
Who am I?

The grass was green and the sky was blue.
Pollution is as bad for me as it is for you.
The sky is now green and the man is in black,
a fog horn blows to get things back on track.
Ships leave the yard and trucks roll in,
a repetitious cycle continues again.

Reality is perception, and perception is subjective. Subjectiveness is sense-certainty, and sense-certainty is an attempt to comprehend the universal, however, sense-certainty is the poorest and most inaccurate account of the Truth. So then, how do we understand the Truth or is that even a possibility?

I've become entangled by all this quantum finesse and fanangled from all this distress.

They say that 'opposites' attract, right? So then, the counter-argument to that would be that 'likes' repel, right? But that's not necessarily true, on the contrary it proves itself to be quite false. If the affinity be so great, 'likes' overcome the repulsion and bind to form a completely new element. The energy required is tremendous, but the end result is always worth it.

Here 'I’ am, at ‘this’ place in time at ‘this’ posited location.
Here ‘I’ write, at ‘this’ time; ‘this’ time is ‘Now’, but what is ‘Now’, and what do I mean when I say ‘Now’?
Did I say ‘Now’ now or after the ‘Now’?, videlicet is ‘Now’ after the ‘before’ or before the ‘after’?
If today was tomorrow and tomorrow was yesterday
Where would I be 'Now'?
As Hegel would say:
"Now is a plurality of 'Now'"

Perhaps then it was 'He' who suggested that we just go with the flow of things and live for the moment.
'O sense-certainty... you make me smile...

Christianity and Santa Clause are actually pretty similar. In both scenarios when you're good you get rewarded, and when your bad you get the shaft. Only difference is that logic told me that a fat man delivering presents to all the children in the world is nonsense.

The person whom you will forever love
your soul mate
your everything
must possess
one thing
above all other things
above beauty
brains
and soul
She must
and ‘must’ I emphasize
She must desire you
just as much as
You desire her
For what is a soulmate for
if admiration was not
equally shared?

If a picture is worth a thousand words,
then a thousand words must be worth a million pixels.
So then, millions of pixels must be worth trillions of atoms.
Just think: the amount of atoms in the word ‘fractal’.
I wonder if it supersedes the conceptualized notion of ‘itself’?

"You say we can't? I say Yes we Cannabis!"
“Hip-Hip...****!"
“Hip-Hip...Smoke!"
"Four-Twenty is the time of now
and now is the time to Smoke ‘em all!"

Where the road begins and where the road ends
entirely depends on where you are going.

The human brain is a vast network of neuronal synapses that send and receive millions of messages per second. Even in the 21st century, scientists are unable to build a computer capable of what our brain is. Our brain is the world's fastest Supercomputer, yet we still believe in flying monsters and angels. jeesh...

Understand your physics and realize that me and you don't see the same thing. There's my perspective on something, and then there's your perspective on that something. Hence, each of our individual interactions with that something changed it in some way. That something reacted differently even though we observed it at the same time!

“All were rampant over racial slurs when heard the *** calling the Kettle black
All were shunned to disbelief when heard the Kettle calling back!”

It's the little things in life that make the world go round,
like the small vibrations that turn into sound.

I normally don’t stare into the sun, but the reflection from your eyes has got me hypnotized.

And if that star goes supernova tonight,
I want to be there next to you holding you tight.
To keep you free from all cosmic debris,
and to marvel at the things that we cannot see.

It’s a long way down Long road
but surely you know that I want to go
this long way down Long road.

It’s a long way down Long road
but let us walk it slow, for I know
You         enjoy this time

And as we talk
And as we mock
And as we laugh at their misfortunes
we walk this long way down on Long road.

It’s the emphasis on the word that gives it its meaning
And it's the tone in your voice that makes it demeaning.

This Universe is governed by semantics
and within each of these meanings lie a purpose.
As to what that purpose is, well, that's for you to figure out.
"Life is just one long equation,
but it doesn't take no Einstein or Feynman to figure that out."

You influence me and give me tides.
All while I give you energy and watch you spiral away.
Me and you are at a push-pull right now,
so let us find our barycenter and work things out.

My moral philosophy is this: why can't we all just get along?

Why has night time gained such a bad rep?
It seems that the later you stay up, the more no-good you're up to.
"Nahh man, not me. These stars and nebulae are astonishing.
I'm just trying to get a good glimpse at my ancestry.

Life is a whole laundry list of worries.
Don't worry, just take it one load at a time.

You see, I don’t understand the idea and theology between God and his intentions for creating people. On the first day He created the Earth and heavens, and then on the sixth day He created Adam and Eve. He told them that everything on Earth, from the fruits of the trees to the birds in the sky, from the fish in the sea, to as far out as man can see, everything on Earth is for Man’s pleasure and Man should be fruitful and multiply. But I don’t understand then why people should feel the need to spend their entire lives devoting everything to God, spreading the word to god, preaching god, killing in the name of God, committing mass genocide in the name of God, committing horrific acts in the name of God, justifying slavery in the name of God, and so on in the name of God! To me this all sounds like a cult; a cult only interested in succeeding in its evil, vicious, malicious ways. Well, you know what?! I hope you do not succeed in your evil, vicious, malicious ways. I hope that the dawn of a new Enlightenment will outshine your scripted lies and will be able to see life through the lens of Peace.

What is Phi? Phi is everything! It is the splitting of Nothing into Something and the creation of all life!
Phi is a number, The Number! The one true number that stands out in all aspects of life!
Phi is a vision. It lies not in the eye of the beholder, but in the eye of Phi.
Phi is a Spiral. A slide in life that propels consciousness further and deeper into this Universe.
Keep this number in mind at all times. It will follow you wherever you may roam.

You make me wonder
“How high am I?”
You make me squander
to find higher ground.
You make me stronger
but sometimes I weep
You make me suffer
and curl up in defeat

and you always were reckless at heart
you took our love and tore it apart

But you’re the poison that I crave
That runs through my veins,
That sends me to an early grave

Can’t we reconcile our fears
and bury the hatchet
Relight this kindle
and fall into the flames of love
And so...
I thought it through
and I never knew
How much I love you.

I'm not easily torn, but you've ripped me like tissue paper.

I'm not a magician per se, but the next time you turn around I will have disappeared.

Those who read the Text
Can read the literal verse:
Jesus ******* Christ!

The world was changing all around me
I began seeing smells and smelling colors
and children's faces began blooming like flowers.
Then in an instance of pause I came about something;
The stars. They remind me of something in this place
The shooting stars remind me of the forgotten wishes left behind by the forgotten children.
The glowing moon reminds me of town square; The brothel for advertisements
A thought...
Could it be that this blotter is the catalyst for change?
Would it open up your eyes and let you envision
A perfect world?
A perfect match?
A perfect dream?
