And there is some value I think in knowing something just because it’s so; I certainly must get habituation from searching for new things because I have to read out of at least half a dozen books, little snippets, each day, or else it just doesn’t give me the same feels, if it’s the same topic at length.
…. The other thing I it occurs to me to say is that although sometimes one is struck by the mystery of the universe, there are still reasons why things happen, and you can do things naturally; you don’t have to say, No dopamine—guess I need another med. As important as ingesting is, you don’t have to be the defeated ignorant consumer who thinks they need to be rescued by medicine, right.
…. And there are also some (prescriptive) practical tips, as well as the background information…. But I can’t tell you what I learned about that; it’s too personal.
…. Afterword: I try to compliment science (and the natural philosophy girls!), but since science (and individualism!) is of course not her only cultural baggage, let me be like other people, and like her, and be a little negative, and say that she is a little into the tyranny of fun. I don’t really remember the four chemicals, although I’d probably have a little see-and-recall knowledge if I looked them up, but I do remember her —attitude— towards politics (and people who need it! People who can’t pass over Jordan without Moses, I guess), and again the whole tyranny of fun thing. I guess any specialization tyrannizes if you let it…. Baah baah, Mommy, the people who have been passed over don’t want to have fun! Make them have fun, Mommy! Stop them from ruining my party! I’m trying to give a talk, dammit! This is the time, and the place, for Fun!
Ooo, science is gonna bring about a new world! 😂
…. “Me without you is like a present without a bow.”
—a happy song
And it’s like, presents don’t need bows, you sniveling bitch, and you don’t need presents so much as you need a little fucking dignity, so maybe don’t throw it away and forgot where you stashed it? Lord knows I ain’t gonna find it for you.
“Science helps me to become the Culturally Normal American Girl!”
—“happiness is science!”
And it’s like….
I mean, this book has some validity to it, because real happiness is a good thing, (although I work for a sad little man, a fat rich fucker I’ve never met who deludes women into being smaller and more manageable, so that he can take their money, and he has us play music, I swear, that’s more conformist than the music they play at the Bank, and if you asked him why I’ll bet it’s because his wife has to be “happy”—Or if you’re not don’t talk to me! I own a large multinational corporation!), and it’s nice to know some of the sources of happiness, like relationships and accomplishments, and certainly I tend to short sell relationships, (although man doesn’t need a sexual partner, he just needs to find the mother that lives within him, the inner guru and the outer soul friend).
But she’s so full of herself, you know—full of herself and her “happiness”. She doesn’t get that happiness requires non-happiness elements in this world, so she’s the no-compromise Culturally Normal American Girl, all, I’m just gonna do accomplishments and talk with my friends, and if there’s any non-happiness element, if there’s any poor slob or politician or prophet of freedom, then I’m just gonna crush em and starve em and get ‘em underneath, you know…. Cause I just want to be happy!
And at what price do we sell ourselves, you know? Because woe to the slave of the slaves, to those constrained by the weak and pilfered by the Lilliputians and liars and puppet players, you know.
No freedom, no dignity, no fucking intelligence, when you come to it, in the things that matter. Oh, but the scientists tell us we’ve become 5% more important this quarter! (So, be happy, dammit!)
But don’t worry, I’m happy to consider your feelings and fight your enemies, because after all, you sacrifice so much for me; I know you do. (movie anger) I have sacrificed my whole life for MY PROPERTY, (real quiet) but what has it got me? (middle anger) I tell you this: I’m too kind.
The time has come to be happy!
Fine, YOU be happy; but my anger keeps me safe and makes me happy; I’m an angry cat, you know. 😼
People think they’ll be happy when there’s money, but the real wealth is not robbing and not telling lies.
…. “But maybe you calling her a sniveling bitch didn’t help her reclaim her dignity.”
But it made me feel good—and I love to feel good. 😸 You gotta be happy!
But you’re right; let’s re-wrap up. Let’s see, I need a…. Near-cliche. *hits button* “Spiritual beauty is a journey.” There you go. It’s a journey. Better to be learning than learned—distrust people with smug assumptions—even if they’re scientists!
Actually if they’re “scientists” with smug assumptions, that makes it all the funnier! 😹… (más)
