God no!!!


We need to step away from technology. I mean sure it's great. It's useful. It's expeditious. But the control it has over our lives is ridiculous. 

Take Eric Pickersgill's artist renditions of people in (simulated?) real life situations with their devices taken from their hands. 


Now add to that Farhad Manjoo's report on virtual reality goggles coming to you for every day use.

Like what in the world are we doing?  We are escaping life and by so doing so we are escaping living. For what?  Some illusion of safety?  Some illusion of happiness?  We are social creatures. Watch the documentary "happy". We need human interaction to be deeply, truly happy. Get that shit out of your hand and go fucking live your life, in REAL surround sound.  

Wouldn't it be great!

Wouldn't it be fucking fantastic
If you always knew the truth
No matter who was lying
No matter the altering motives
No matter the cause, the case, the clause
And to know why!!!!!!

So many times in life we have no fucking clue why shit happens the way it does
No clue
Even sometimes when we think we do
We really don't

That's why I am trying to learn the "Silva Method", because if it does what it says it can do then we don't have to live in fear anymore. We don't have to live afraid. 
We don't have to live any lies. 
And God fucking Christ
Wouldn't that be spectacular.
