"I walked a mile with Pleasure, She chattered all the way; But left me none the wiser, For all she had to say. I walked a mile with Sorrow And ne'er a word said she; But, oh, the things I learned from her When Sorrow walked with me!"
- Robert Browning Hamilton
I am ABNORMAL. And damn glad of it. Not proud, because I had nothing to do with ending up that way. Just glad. Why? Well...
"The really hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer... They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjystment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental illness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted, still cherish the illusion of individuality, but in fact they have been to a great extent deindividualized. Their conformity is developing into something like uniformity. But unifomity and freedom are incompatible. Uniformity and mental health are incompatible too... Man is not made to be an automaton, and if he becomes one, the basis for mental health is destroyed." BRAVE NEW WORLD REVISITED by Aldous Huxley, 1958, pp.25-26.
How am I abnormal?
For starters, I'm one o' them Lunatic Atheists ! (who also loves gospel music) I'm also an anarchist , communist , socialist and redneck . But for a real communist, the terms "communist party" or "communist state" are oxymorons. And even though I'm a highschool dropout, I ain't uneducated or unsophisticated, but I am a 'poor white person'. See? Total Rebel .
My genetics (nature) and the life I've had thus far (nurture) have conspired to produce a rather anomolous creature.
I was born in Polk General Hospital in Cedartown, GA .I began my "religious life" at around age 7 or 8, as a Jehovah's Witness , reading the Watchtower , and Awake! magazines, and the various other associated literature.
When I was 11 years old, my dad and I met another Witness on the sidewalk in front of the Georgia Power Office in Cedartown. The Witness explained to my dad why Armageddon would occur in 1975, while I did the mental calculations and literally peed my pants in fear that I would never live to see my 18th birthday.
Up to that point I had simply assumed that my elders knew more about God than I did and that what they told me was true. They had said that only 144,000 "Chosen Ones" would go to heaven to rule with God. I was extremely curious as to how one came to BE one of the "Chosen Ones." Thus began my search for truth which has lead, and continues to lead, me to strange places and conclusions indeed.
I actually understand what E=mc² means, I studied many religions, especially Christianity, from the inside and outside for many years, and am thus an atheist , a Freethinker , a humanist , an infidel , and a skeptic .
I've observed governments around the world in action and have studied political philosophy (among others) and am thus an Anarchist , and a Communist (most have no clue as to the correct definitions of even these two words, much less what it's all about); and I've observed the world's economies and thus know that a totally moneyless civilization is the only possibility for a truly fair and just economic system.
I also know none of the above will ever come about because humans in general are still far too much in the grip of their primitive genetic and social programming to be much concerned about "fair" and "just".
I'm weird in other ways too; I'm a man but I'd rather watch paint dry than watch sports on TV, I'm 50 years old, an only child, both parents deceased, I'm 5'7", weigh 200 pounds, and am a little funny-looking. I love to love females, love to have deep philosophical discussion, was an OTR truck driver (loved the Truck Stops), have been frisked by cops in 3 countries, visited most states in this one. I'm a rolling stone, never want to stay anywhere very long. My philosophy is: "Okay, been there, done that. NEXT!"
I'm a transhumanist , I like Aubrey David Nicholas Jasper de Grey and I want to live forever but I'm making my own cemetary .
According to my cardiologist I have only 20% function of my heart (up from 10% last year), so I truly don't have time for crap.
IF you are VERY SURE you really want to know me...
proceed at your own risk!
