Anger at authority technocrats but share many beliefs

universe chaotic mess

mankind evil insignificant

desperate but unsuccessful search for pleasure

disconnection from science and even reality

mankind lacks access to truth, must live without truth

suicide preferred life style (lack of life style?)

embrace perversity, evil

virtual reality, drugs

atheism

anti-natalism why masses allowed to breed with abandon like teeming rodents cull herd animals

brave strong pessimists superior to cowardly weak optimists

solipsism

opposed to even atheists working together toward a common goal

Only a few are strong enough to embrace the blackness, only rare heroes can swallow pitch black despair. Can you? Can you suck up the abyss like a vacuum and store it in your gut? Do you have the raw nerve to hurl yourself from a mountain peak? Can you stretch your jaw and force down rotted and raddled flesh, becoming one with a stinking carcass? Can you bury yourself alive? Toss spadefuls of dirt down upon your coffin and then hear the muffled sound above? And finally can you discard your heroism and dump it out with the rest of the trash?

you barely hear above you?

Take an evening in autumn, crisp as an apple.

Hear the dry dead leaves scratching across

the road, these leaves somehow come to life, a legion, like arthropods scuttling, their veins throbbing, their hideous plum-colored flesh now become moist and flexible.

Consider the proximate suffering and terror brought on by the cold that stings and the blackness that blinds. Then intensify that cold and that dark and extend them for billions of light-years in every direction, and then empty, meaningless billions of light-years more. How can I.

Virtual Reality

No one should be satisfied with existing reality. Why should such reality, thrown together by chance, satisfy? Who can accept the monotony, humiliation, drudgery, weariness, sickness, accident, old age, death? The goal must be to ignore or flee this reality we are trapped in, create for ourselves an improved reality that will fulfill our every hope.

heart’s desires. Technology

Grendel Mendel walrus shoe

Nipsey Russell pink eye poo

Winkle Tinkle slapsie shy

Hear the highway keening for something lost, getting out of bed

Hear the dry dead leaves scratching across the road, a legion, somehow animated, like arthropods scuttling, their veins throbbing, their hideous plum-colored flesh now become moist and shiny.

And tumbling like rodents And moldy

If Oscar Wilde can write a book about a book, I can write a book about a book about a book.

What play could we produce to express this horror? Which theater would we use? What actors? What puppetry? What aquatic mammals would participate? What cosmic ice show could we stage? I think you already know.

to express the unutterable horror this

let’s put in a show from hell

ANYTHING can happen on this day. An accident, a death, a secret exposed, a condemnation.

I don’t want to be dramatic I mean a human life or death is unimportant do we hold funerals for plastic forks or just toss them in the garbage?

The Enemy

They are the technocrat. The optimistic engineering types. Smiling and smug. No cooperation with these pigs then I’d rather see those idiot Christians win then

Also My ex-girlfriend lying in the couch like some dead thing her hams moist and musky hot and hammy stained and stinking fermenting in the brine if her own self-absorption conceit the less about her the better
