6/27/18 - "The Whole World Just CAN'T Be Wrong!" I can't tell you how many people have lost my interest in our conversation using this cliché defense. They think they have made an irrefutable statement that makes perfect, common sense. "After all, it's not like we're all just CRAZY, is it?"... " Well, have you considered that the prevalence of prejudice, war, famine, homelessness and such are resultant of cultural animosity, dysfunctionality, and out-right hatred, all because the general population is controlled by ideological insanity? If there weren't a consensus of one sort or another causing all of these things, they wouldn't be staples of society. We actually NEED these things to exist for the working system to function the way it does. Many people are very PROUD of the things that cause such horrors to exist. In fact, by promoting the idea that we CAN'T be wrong, you are defending an evil society with a last resort effort. I'm sorry, but yes, you are all horribly wrong."... "Yer a loon! I'm callin' the cops! They'll put you in the looney bin where you belong! Where's my phone?? (That's what these things are for!) *Beep-boop-boop* Police? Yes, a man just threatened my life! Mmhmm... Hey! Get back here, you goddamn degenerate! You can run, but you can't HIDE!"... "Gotta go! You'll be remembered in history for saving the world from a dangerous mind!" So, it always ends that I fled the scene in terror, but I still gain a sense of accomplishment whenever I drive someone to this sort of madness, regardless of how predictable it truly is. I think, that when I trigger this reaction, I've really DONE something priceless to an impressionable mind. People don't realize how VULNERABLE they are, walking around with an "innocent" belief in their culture's ideology. So, I simply impose awareness, in so far as I am able, and I'm pretty good at it. After that, the individual is forever changed, though it doesn't really hit them until much later. They then, unwillingly, thank me out of honesty for my kindness, but stubbornly hold to an ideological facade in order to go unnoticed by the others. They know, based on their own feelings, how dangerous it is to provoke another person in the way that I did. They know, they aimed to KILL when I stuck the wrong (right) chord. I've been attacked, over and over, by hostile villagers. They aren't aware that they live in a hypnotic state, and they are happy that way. The foundation of their happiness is always flimsy, and I can shake it or break it at will. I've learned not to do this with such zeal as I did in my youth. Better to play along, and drop my hints only at an undetectable level. If I do it in just the right way, the information sub-consciously assimilates itself in their psyche, and makes it easier for me to get along with those whom I must, for my daily life. "You're not one of those people who think we're all crazy, are you Nick? Those people need medication."... "Yes, medicine. The anti-psychotic panacea. Incredibly influential stuff, even as an idea. Nothing more effective than a torture device, whether you're holding it or threatened by it."... "What?"... "Nevermind, just a ramble on sociology. See ya later, gotta go think deeply by myself, it keeps me mystical."... "That guy's weird, but he's not crazy. I like him." Eventually, they always realize that I've been burning them, so I leave in plenty of time. I'm sort of a metaphorical pyromaniac. It's incredibly addictive to have complete dominance over the working super-ego. (Speaking to all those who knew me) It's like we know what everyone will think now, isn't it guys? You're welcome. Glad I could help. Now for the rest of you. I'm Ripley's Believe it or Not, but with a dire consequence. If you don't believe it, you'll later realize that you were wrong, and have been making poor choices. Just think, what if you go through life completely blind to reality, and end up with a grand mistake as a result? I don't want that for you. I'm offering you freedom. Today's lesson : Conventional concepts of insanity are ideological. And THAT'S why there is such a large population of people being treated by "doctors" with a "life-saving diagnosis" of "psychosis"! It's NOT because lots of people have neurological disorders... That's a fiction. It's like Trix cereal. Trix are for kids. And, children, tend to misuse their imaginations all the time. Very dangerous to believe in your personal misuse of the imagination. But, so SOLID to find that others are doing it, in similar fashion,with you! I'll be your doctor. I am well. Believe in me, and I'll save your mind. |
