Religious people are idiots because they hold on to the past like it's money. I'm not religious, because I'm open-minded, and that means knowing what is not worth believing. I don't care if you can show me ontological proof for the existence of God. I'm open-minded to the possibility that God does not exist, and therefore I live my life freely, not bogged down by some closed-minded notion that this love of God you talk about is for everyone.
Open-minded means that you know beyond the shadow of a doubt that new information is far more superior to old information. Charles Dickens is just a bunch of hogwash. Give me a smart phone with Gears of War on it and now we're talking. Why would you read "Bleak House" when you can beat the shit out of some idiot on your phone?
The past is the past and has no bearing whatsoever on what is happening now, or what could possibly happen in the future. Listen, you know what Henry Ford said? "The past is bunk." That's Henry Ford. I wouldn't normally pay any attention to anything some idiot millionaire said, but this one, he means business. He was a beautiful guy who believed in communitarianism and community and everybody just pitching in what they have and nobody having too much more than anyone else. Funny that he never did. He had a lot of stuff. But I don't think the main point with him that you have to strive for is consistency. I think you gotta take his ideas and run with them. Ideas have no consequences. They are just ideas. I can't make you jump off a bridge unless you were already planning on taking the plunge. That's why I get irritated with these idiots who get frustrated that we're trying to teach first-graders about Marx and sexuality. They're just ideas. If you don't like it in America, land of ideas, go live somewhere else. If I was a parent, I would want my kids to know that they don't have to suffer through capitalism or monogamy. They need to know that they have a choice. They can demand a society in which doctors, strippers and landscape artists all make about the same paycheck. They can have consensual sex when they're ready—I say ten or eleven—but it all depends on the maturity level. Why settle for this intolerable system we have now? If you want to keep it, go somewhere else and start over. We're moving forward. Stop trying to hold everybody up. They built this country on lies. I want what's mine. Obama's trying to give me what I want, and you idiots are telling him he can't do it. What, you can't give me a little piece of your 300 million dollars? And you call this a democracy?
I wouldn't have kids though. Too loud. And you need to make at least $125,000 a year to have a kid. Or more. Plus they are annoying in airports.
The only ideas that matter are ideas of the future. If it was said a hundred years ago, who cares? If it was said two weeks ago, who cares? Tell me what they're going to say tomorrow. Talk to me about how we are going to respond to media content ten years from now. We already have more content than Dickens ever did. That man knew nothing about sexual freedom. Don't you think if he could change places with you for a week today he would do it? He'd be at some bar getting off, because during his time he had to repress himself and all that. I bet you in ten years, you'll be able to carry a handheld device that will broadcast live girls, and you'll have a hand that comes out of it to help you get off when you want. Or maybe not a hand. Some kind of an attachment. And there'll be one for the ladies too. But it will be the same thing. It won't be different, because we'll have a true society of gender equality, so porn device manufacturers won't be allowed, by Congress, to develop paraphernalia differently for the sexes. But I think trans-gender will still have it's own device, cause they seem to be able to run the show on that kind of thing. Maybe they'll have a special protective law that Congress will pass that will enable them to develop their own sex toys with immunity to the rules governing regular sex toy developers.
How can anyone live with any certainty or conviction about anything? How can you be sure about anything? The only thing I know for certain is that I like video games and fried food. Strangely, I'm not sure if I like sex any more. I liked it a lot when I was younger, and everybody just encouraged me to try everything out, and when I did, I just sort of lost interest. It's been hard for me to get into it ever since. I can't think about anything else besides technology and fried food. That's what consumes my thinking most of the time, and when I tried to pick up "Bleak House" I just thought "What the hell?" and went and got some fried chicken and got online and did a search for "busty coeds."
Conviction, resolve, certainty, truth and nobility are vague qualities belonging to a lost generation of unintelligent people who did not have running water or mobile phones. New is just far better than anything they had. I'll take Awareness over Conviction and Tolerance over Nobility any day. I'll take Workplace Fairness over Truth nine times out of ten.
The sky is a dull gray color as I write this. I'm feeling pretty washed out when I look at it. I was supposed to go out with this lady and her boyfriend later, but I think I'm going to cancel and just order in some food and watch this dating show.
