Socialism And Other Kid's Stuff

I wrote this a couple of days ago, and you know what? I'm not even going to proof read it. Not my most articulate so suck it! Let the good times roles!

Well I had a boring 4th, as some people can’t tear themselves away from fictional universes, so here’s a rant.

As some of you might have seen in my previous post I posted part one of a multi part series on why capitalism and religion are conspiracies cooked up at the dawn of time by some small group of people in order to control every one else. As I’ve said for many years my view on socialism is that it’s a fairy tale for not particularly bright adults, but whilst indulging my holistic hobby I came to realization that there is almost no difference between homeopathic medicine and socialism. One is a mental panacea while the other is a socio-political panacea.


In the video the spokesman does what all good socialists do, some amount of feminists, and most people for that matter which is they more or less directly say that religion, capitalism, money, commerce, trade, and a vast number of complex human social, moral, and fiscal interactions are all a part of a vast conspiracy cooked up by some small number of people somewhere back in history.

The reality is that modern socialism, and to a large degree Marx and Lennon’s ideas, are really about on the same level as David Ike’s lizard men from Mars or those people who think Jews control the weather. This video series completely ignores all of history, ignores how complex and how much time and trial went into something as simple as the use of a coin as currency or how trade developed not only from a practical stand point, but also philosophically, and throw it all out in favor of something as insipid as any UFO conspiracy or lost city of Atlantis theory.


Not to mention that the idea that religion, something that appears to be so essential to human nature that even isolated tribes with no formal language have it, is a construct created by Darth Vader like men moving in shadows in order to control the peons into doing their bidding would be offensive if it wasn’t so pathetic. Dawkins has argued that mankind invented religion because it is weak. Weaker than what? We are, as far as we know, the pinnacle of all life in this universe so in comparison to what are we so weak?


I suppose this is what happens when you have a culture that’s geared towards teens and 20-somethings. You don’t realize it when you’re young, but despite all your ambition you’re dumb as hell. So on the same Youtube channel you have some kids burning a copy of Atlas Shrugged because… they think it’s clever. Let’s face college kids are statically the most arrogant and useless portion of the human population after all.

I have a friend who is going to college now, and he’s nearly 30. The one thing I can guarantee you is that he works harder, and wants it far more than some stupid kid whose never been responsible for more than his cell phone bill, and thinks he’s going to rip apart the world, and put it back together again. I know I did when I was 22, and now all I think is how teenagers ruin everything. Funny how adulthood changes your perspective. So to my friend I say I am proud because you know what real life is like, and no one needs to tell you to work hard.

In the end is there any difference between that and hypnotherapy? I’ve said it before, but it’s my opinion that hypnosis is nothing more than a person actively choosing to participate with the person giving the suggestions. In other words you do not slip into a sleep state, you do not reach into your subconscious, you are in fact acting, you are willfully conning yourself into believing you are hypnotized.


Now I admit my theory isn’t the most widely excepted on the subject, but it is a theory that’s growing in acceptance. Allow me to relate my own experiences. First off that I am not saying that hypnotherapy has no benefits. Much like massage therapy, acupuncture, reflexology, and some other number of holistic alternatives, hypnotherapy will work only to the extent that you will allow it. That isn’t to say it will cure any major, or for that matter minor, illnesses, but it can help in small ways. Remember it’s all a placebo of sorts.. No serious doctor will tell you that there are “energy pathways” from the foot to your vital organs, but the unlicensed guy jamming a piece of vibrating wood against your foot will. So listen to me because I’ve at least tried or researched both ends.

As an example I used hypnotherapy for a short period in order to help me sleep. For a time listening to the CD while laying down worked marvelously. I was sleeping deeply and better than I had before until I got bored of listening to it. So as an experiment I tried listening to the female orgasms tape, and had the exact same results. Then a quit smoking tape, and a tape of hypnotic penis growth. All tapes worked perfectly to help me sleep (obviously my penis isn’t any larger and I’m not having multiple orgasms), but only until I got bored of them. Really it was more the music and the voice that did it as I had no success with tapes that had either an ambiance track that I didn’t like or I felt the persons voice wasn’t soothing enough.

Of course I’ll admit I walked into this experiment expecting those same results, but lets just say science is on my side with this one. So really when you think about it at least homeopathic medicine does have some results where as socialism just spread like a cancer, killing and ripping apart everything it touches.
