Imagine

Imagine there's no winter,
Imagine there's no fall

Imagine there's no pepper,
Imagine there's no salt

No you, no me

It isn't hard to do,
If you… I… if it is tried

Fish god brain splurt

The nice white man with the huge catfish in Thailand said, "Let's pray he doesn't get caught." Is this an acceptable injunction for prayer? Why is "we pray" still acceptable at all? Because it signals the undying and in fact infinite hunger in man for wholeness and goodness. If this hunger is 'merely' an after-product of natural selection then rape is merely an after-effect of natural selection too. If one is wrong, in a transcendental sense, the other is right, in a transcendental sense. Take your pick. Depending, now go swim with the fishes. Maybe the nice white man in Thailand will pray for you.

Borderless borders, caught on film

The movie What Dreams May Come. It may apotheosize what this blog is founded to satirize. Groan. Shiver. Sigh.

Carbonophobia

Carbon is the most dangerous element in the world. It is the driving cause of global warming, which is bound to destroy the human race, and rightfully so, after centuries of capitalistic greed.

And yet strangely carbon-based products are among the greatest advances on the market today. Organic food just means carbon-based food. Organic chemistry is the study of the chemical interactions of carbon-based structures and organisms.

Mine is just a complaint about how loosely and carelessly "carbon" is deployed in our culture. If carbon in the atmosphere is so bad, why not call it "organic climate change"? Maybe it would be less crazymaking. An organic atmosphere sounds mighty healthy.

Avatarian One Worldism. Religion is good as long as we can control it, like a tiny ivory elephant in a glass menagerie. As long as, that is, it stays at a crudely adorable level of rationality and social influence suitable only for the adorably crude savages who are too mystical for our technology. Let them play with their celestial powers as long as they don't threaten to play with our earthly toys.

Not sure what it's for

But it ain't got borders.

I think I will dedicate this blog to any trendy vapidity I find in the media.

Things like United Colors of Benetton.

And other such dopey "feel-good" One-Worldism.

Mostly, though, I just wanted to claim the title in the big sea called the Internet.
