What about this. Why do we do this?

This blogging thing.  Why? What drives people to share their thoughts every day. Or every week. Or every two weeks?  What is the point?  How many trillions of words are generated every day? So many words. So many people. So many stories. So many lives. Ah, 'tis but vanity....

The Return of the Robber Barons

It's no longer the world as we know it. But it seems it's the world it has always been, and we humans the animals that we have always been.  This species is defective, there are far too many glitches in the software. The AI learning model is faulty. The logic circuit  is extremely unstable and prone to errors over 50% of the time.  In an Operating System (OS), we would say the failure rate is far too high and therefore the OS is not viable. While some models process data faultlessly, and others have harmless glitches that translate into artistic works when expressed, far too many process data into a mish mosh and have very poor memory. One would expect the learning model to be 'once burned twice shy', but in this species there seems to be no long-term data storage, or actually, no connection between long-term storage and current observation. The same patterns repeat, yet the glitch means that most can't see this.  Over and again, some models go rogue and turn into p...

Why we can't have nice things.

We fuck up everything. Relationships. Politics. Sport. Business. Religion. The Environment. Every damn thing we do. We have fucked it up somehow. Because Greed and Jealousy and Intolerance are actively encouraged by very influential people, sometimes by force, other times by trickery, lies & deceit.  We really are despicable creatures. And some of you will spout about Art and Love and Kindness and the Beauty of blah blah blah, but none of that will stop what's going to happen. The sum total of all our marvelous achievements as dominant species will not stop the coming apocalypse, which is our most disastrous achievement: The Destruction of our own habitat, without which we cannot live. The collapse of civilization and the death of billions of people, in mostly unpleasant ways. Look at what we've done. We ought to be ashamed of ourselves. We're such selfish creatures, and spiteful and inconsiderate. Greedy. We can't just live with Nature, we have to 'tame' it...

To continue, Love as a sense.

Love gives us insight to things we cannot know with our other senses.  We can 'feel' when someone loves us, if we let ourselves feel it. We can also 'feel' when others don't love us, although we rationalize and deny it in so many ways if we want to. Love can direct us to do things that don't necessarily make sense to the other 5 senses. But this is not some 'physical' sense that can easily be defined, as can Sight, Hearing, Taste, Touch, Smell. But there are those who are blind. Their eyes cannot 'see' the world. And those who are deaf; their ears cannot hear sound. Taste, Touch, Smell.....there are instances of people without these senses. So could there be people without the sense of Love? I believe there are.  And I believe there are many people who would believe the other 5 senses over their sense of Love, so might as well be Loveblind. We do not have common words (that I know of) for not being able to Smell or Taste or feel ...
