I know there’s a circular dilemma to this one. You can’t read the blog without reading the disclaimer, and you probably won’t read the disclaimer without reading this blog. Author likey, this paradox.
Honestly, I’m just bored on this saturday evening, and i’m trying to take a stab, in my own stoopid way at how we’ve just grown into this world. This world of technology where everything needs to be disclaimed, and everything needs to be told.
There are a lot of dark patterns in this new world. the ones that are very much aimed towards exploiting your stupidity. well… our stupidity. but tbh we’re all just bodies made of water and other organic compounds with an auro of consciousness looming somewhere around the craniofacial region. Some exploit us more than others, but everyone gets exploited.
Am I angry? Sure? Am I content? sure? Am I calm? sure? Am I normal? sure? Am I loosing it? sure? Am i composed? sure?
I’m just as normal, as any of you, and I’m just as crazy, as any of you. We’re collectively a product of evolution with every revolution… obviously I’m fucked up. So chill the fuck out!
No offense.
At one point last year, i was reading the communist manifesto… out of pure curiosity.. and as I was reading it… my mind took over my body, a little paranoia creeped into cognitive processing phase, specifically between the reading and analysis and assocaition with prior knowledge steps.
I wondered, wait… I think I have free will… so i should be able to read whatever the fuck I want, and whenever the fuck I want. Even though if reading through this.. during a friends marriage is what will keep my thoughts away from my 10 day girlfriend for whom I’ve been crying about for the last 10 years. wait… thats tmi? i guess.
najauvano baat mano.. kabhi kisi se.. naa pyaar karna - kay sara sara
Anywho.. back to the manifesto.. at the time, i was thinking… wait.. i don’t know what my future holds for me… but the digital identity that I have, if leaked, can have caried implications on my day-to-day. Simply put, if my “books” data gets leaked… and my employer comes across it, do they have grounds to fire me? I am an “at-will” employee… so if it wills my employer, so shall it be.
I don’t have a eidetic memory like Shelly. So I don’t remember every fucking thing i read.. but if prosecuted, and evidence being put forth to “paint a picture”, i would rather have the brush strokes willed the way I will.. So… during the decision making stage, I decided that I would add a comment at the beginning of the book.

Simple yeah? I guess… it’s a point in time represenation of what i could’ve been thinking… feeling… acting..
Similary… I don’t remember every fucking thing I write about. I try my best to do some research before something in this wild-east of internet. But I got to point where, I wanted to explictly just say… Chill the fuck out!
Everything written on the internet, by so-called “Experts” are just people who are in their own bubble.. just like me. not the expert part, but the bubble part. They read a few things, process a few things.. write about a few things.. and there you have it a pretty huge dick. Obviously… some people are SMART. But lets face it.. these really smart guys can be dicks, maybe not regarded as such collectively, but people in their own bubbles, might regard them as such.
GUYS… we’re in the “learning” phase. We’re NOT in the “we’ve figured everything out phase”. So let’s stop pretending we’re a hundred phases up the ladder, when we can barely write the word ladder, and convey the meaning of it to some guy in ratlam ki sunsam galiya who might not even know what a fucking “ladder” means. he might know seedhi, but then I have to explain to you, that it means a ladder its just a fucking mess.
Is this an excuse to exploit stupidity? Abso-fucking not!
There are morals to this game. We all feel it. But some of us, also feel the need to disregard them.
Philosophy estranges us from the familiar. Not by supplying new information, but by inviting and provoking a new way of seeing - Justice: what’s the right thing to do? Episode 01 “The moral side of murder”
You may ask why are these millenials or gen fucking z’s philosophizing so much… well… like tyler durden said… - “our great war is a spiritual war. our great depression is our lives.”
So here I am today. Naked. Where art thou?
I think i just need to chill the fuck out. Until next time. I’ll play some ghost of tsushima, write some haiku, and go to sleep man. I’m a little tired today.
