Its sad... Im happy, my child-fantasies are still intact, inside myself.<BR/>I know how you feel.<BR/><BR/>MadsMads Jensen, Copenhagen, Denmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016731656017947465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96542427325293482.post-81973349515710736812008-11-16T12:34:00.000-05:002008-11-16T12:34:00.000-05:00Kudos x infinity to you for being able to put into...Kudos x infinity to you for being able to put into words what I, and others obviously, feel on a regular basis. This is why I watch so very little television, and listen to even less radio. It's a vapid wasteland of self-loving bullshite, and it does nothing but eat away at the soul.

Well, I don't experiment with things up my back door so I'm not really qualified to answer. But for some, being fucked in the head may be preferable.<BR/><BR/>Though you aren't really fucked. You just are seeing things as they are. More people need to question what is fed to them. We are all human, we all have ulterior motivations from time to time, but we need to examine them and keep them in check. The world itself is fucked, but there is still beauty. There is still a glimmer of hope, I promise you that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96542427325293482.post-29102780863873502112008-11-03T08:59:00.000-05:002008-11-03T08:59:00.000-05:00Hi Trey...how are you today?

I say "I think" because I've never actually seen _The Matrix_, but the point I will ultimately make here is that you are not alone in a world of disillusion/disenchantment. The question becomes not 'would I be happier were I ignorant', or 'why did I take the pill', but 'how can my knowledge inform my choices/identity/personal brand.' There's a lot of theory and philosophy out there to help a person navigate modernity - you could start with Marx, Gramsci, Baudrillard, Foucault - who would say that "The work of an intellectual is not to mould the political will of others; it is, through the analyses that he does in his own field, to re-examine evidence and assumptions, to shake up habitual ways of working and thinking, to dissipate conventional familiarities, to re-evaluate rules and institutions and to participate in the formation of a political will (where he has his role as citizen to play)."<BR/><BR/>The bottom line is that (although you could use to tone down the anger a bit; especially w/r/t teenagers, who tend toward the vapid, and many grow out of that) you're probably on the right track.<BR/><BR/>PS Madness, Foucault argues, is another socially constructed discursive regime of power, and you might want to consider looking into his _Madness and Civilization_. I know this might seem like a plug, but as far as continental philosophy goes, he literally wrote the book.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02836653523173350744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96542427325293482.post-48951060498809993702008-11-01T19:38:00.000-04:002008-11-01T19:38:00.000-04:00Another well-written post my friend.

Like I've said before, you are great.....and have managed to make some REALLY take a look at themselves, to see that it's okay to have these feeling they have every so often. :)Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05493307140521162857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96542427325293482.post-24660690771803805772008-10-30T21:42:00.000-04:002008-10-30T21:42:00.000-04:00I'm still laughing at your desire to "cut" people ...I'm still laughing at your desire to "cut" people for seemingly innocent behavior. Seems as if you and I are of the same mold. <BR/><BR/>What I find interesting is your degree of self-awareness. "Fucked" you may be, but delusional you are not. It seems to me that given the two alternatives - self-aware or delusional - you've got the better end of the stick, my friend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96542427325293482.post-65343605598045959692008-10-30T16:53:00.000-04:002008-10-30T16:53:00.000-04:00umm,these feelings you are sharing with us are rea...umm,these feelings you are sharing with us are really interesting.One needs to allow such passions to be exposd to other people,we all have moments similar,perhaps....or indeed the very same.As humans we do sometimes have more in common than we may think! If we can discuss these moments we call madness,they may become more understandable.Sweetie have a beautiful day :)Trixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06536462575625902264noreply@blogger.com
