Nights In White Satin
Not sure that has as much to do with it as may be expected. I'm sure it likely is part of things but there's other stuff going on as well. Here's something you might add into the mix.
Take a spell and give that a really long hard think. Let all the possible ramifications steep a bit. One big one is that if robots can be taught to be soldiers we're done. A second big one here is, this is actually here and now. Thank you lovely people behind Google.
Another aspect to give even more thinking on is that the Jesuits run a lot of stuff like that robot being made. Our current VP is a Jesuit. They are the ones who used the word crusade first, and crusade was used one hundred fifty years before the word jihad. Both words roughly mean "holy war". The Jesuits have a directive from Paxa Romana which allows them to sin any sin they need to sin, so long as they're killing infidels.
Supposedly Jesuits are Christians, those who worship Christ, the holiday we're celebrating is in the honor of Christ. Yes, I can admit that is a very dark inflection and way of thinking. Yes, I know not all Jesuits are evil or nefarious. That any implication of such negativity is harbored on Jesuits though does taint their image, one rotten apple spoils a whole barrel full.
And then, I look at the "bigger picture" of "what goes on" at the time. Oh, we supposedly got the best economy, our education system is making strides to become a global leader again, we're ending the opiod crisis, making sure to take away satisfaction by legal adults enjoying cleaner and safer nicotine use, Disney is buying everything, ... it's all so fucking grand!
Until you look at deeper and realize it's all the same Hegelian theater side show dressed up to try to fool those who see it for what is. It's all war, no need to name it this or that war. It's all the same, one big perpetual war and it always has been and likely always be until we end ourselves.
Why? Because there is profit but no prophets in war. Ah well, here's a prophecy for y'all. We're on the brink and unless we all change it real soon, it's the end.
I apologize I'm not in a jolly festive mood. A bit difficult to dream when you live in a waking nightmare. And I know I've got it "easier" than most. Still it's all the same for many of us. Maybe that opium use at least offers a means to cope? Who knows? At any given, I ought to try harder to get festive. Everyone likes smiles better, eh?
-- I do sincerely apologize. Don't mean to be such a downer, nor seem sarcastic/jaded. Sometimes having an intellect is a curse more so than a blessing. That and again, caring and feeling others suffer doesn't help. So yeah, maybe all that shit is what keeps me pissed off and I can not get genuinely pissed off properly any more because of being constantly pissed off. And I'm so damn tired of it all but there's no magic wand to send it away, would that there be, know I'd be waving it. That noted, I do hope everyone has a good Christmas, brightest blessings and merry meets.
