Inching Forward On A Road To Nowhere

in #corona5 years ago

I find it somewhat amusing in these times, when the overall exterior assault on our well being is then augmented by stuff not doing what it is supposed to do. Sort of 'Murphy's Law' - if I am not mistaken. In this particular and ludicrous case, my Steemit Blog appears to be subject to an experience the likes Bill Murray had in 'Groundhog Day'. Every time I come back, the notifications marked as 'read' are back again. Although it is not the same song that is always playing. And it happens independent from specific times.

However, I am

Yes, one could argue that there are more pressing issues at hand. To which I would respond that given the circumstances of house arrest and store closures, using the time otherwise spent with questionable work, driving around to get to the questionable work. And back. If You were commuting before Corinna (- introducing real names like for hurricanes/typhoons: 'Corinna 03.E/W/N/S') You could have hours to sit around and brood. To think discouraging thoughts about the present situation like billions of other folks. In that case, it might be much, much better to immediately get to that fender bender with some bondo and paint. Or do the long overdue full body peeling, skin rejuvenation and spa treatment. Whether You are on Your own, or with someone else, there are things that usually take too much time to squeeze in into our daily routines. Now, that the daily routines of billions of little people were murdered by the owner class, one may as well stop kissing the asses of those who proclaim to be authorized by everybody to control everything. Not from this side. Not only did I never approve of allowing utterly psychotic donkeyholes to tell me what I can and what I can't do. Now more than ever before it has become impossible to waddle along with the insanity the exceptionally incompetent and corrupt dummy class of the big ventriloquist club is hoisting on the entirety of the sane society.

The populations of the world are well advised to construct prison walls around their so called 'governments'. Because that's where all these corrupt war/misery/disease/poverty profiteers belong. It would be a fancy prison, but I am sure the fancy stuff could be removed by the whatever honorable marines are left. Are there any left? This just on the side. Absent divine intervention to our all sane liking, things will not get 'better' in the usual sense of the word. 'Better' will require drastic changes at all levels of society.

In order to foment these changes, I am continuing to invent/conceive 'machines' that fuse stone age principles and technology with modern day open source permaculture. You can only bring about change by implementing it Yourself. Or 'my' self. Which leads once more to the invitation to ponder about the difference between 'being born into this world', or 'being this world'. What changes?

For one thing, whatever You do in Your quarantine, it will affect You much more in the time ahead. For example, if You decide now to grow food with aeroponics (the clean, silent and organic way to have produce at all times) You will be less stressed out when the store shelves stay empty. It's quite simple. Just have enough around of what You need to make it through the time it takes to become more self-sufficient - food wise. When You got that covered, You can then engage in whatever You have now the time to do. Workarounds exist to make up for what You don't have. Neighbors? Install flagging towers. Agree upon signals to communicate without internet/wifi and phone. Let the one being that knows what's happening be Your guide in these trying times. The Universe has all the answers for those who ask the right questions. 'The right question' would then be one, that comes from the understanding that You are the Universe and are not some pebble in it that gets pushed around for some time and then crushed.

Oh, and yes, of course. One issue that is sorely missing/removed from the situation is 'planned obsolescence'. Nobody talks about that. Name one 'politician' that talks about it. Just one. Why not? Why is nobody speaking up about the gravest dangers it poses? Is it, because the entirety of the sick, capitalist psychopathic mentality is based on planned obsolescence. Capitalism in its most degenerated version of today could not exist without planned obsolescence. Why is nobody calculating the "for-profit-waste" costs to the planet and humanity? It takes a certain amount of resources and calories to create a product. At that point, there is only little difference in the cost of manufacturing a product that lasts for as long as possible, or a product that lasts the shortest time period possible without being called out a fraud.

The kitchen sponges I buy frequently are now lasting one week. After one week they show severe signs of wear. Ten years ago the sponges lasted three month without showing excessive wear. People have come to accept garbage for the real product and nowhere in my life has this become more obvious than in Uruguay. Uruguay has the highest prices for the worst shit China is told to manufacture. This is always a subject to contention. People live in denial about why they can practically only buy third grade shit in their country. It is not because of China. It is because of corruption. Criminal psychopathy. There are no other words for this. There is no force in the Universe that makes people to be donkeyholes. The Universe affords the freedom to chose between being a donkeyhole and doing something in return for the life one was given.

Oh, well, right? But since this is foremost about how to spend the time You might have on hand now, let's abandon for now the reasons for the misery and focus on how to remedy the relationship one has to one's own manure. In that lies great potential. The potential to transcend one's own complicity in a system that can only fail and fail miserably only. Fragile currents aside, the main stream has found no fault in its way of 'living'. That way is now dead. Mainstream tries everything it can to throw around blame. All the more a sign of the deep delusions that have people in charge of humanity's survival firmly in grip.

"When Spring comes - Grass grows on its own."

Wu Wei. Klütern. Spending time most usefully by not planning it to death. Going with the flow of what offers oneself as the one thing 'screaming' "Pick me! Pick me!" The itch. The urge. The desire. Transcend the manure that is flung at You via the ventilator and do what wants to be done in the above fashion - without effort. If it is hard and difficult - it's because You are wasting Your time. Observe water. It is never hard and difficult for water to reach the ocean. The opposite is true and visible around the world: Nothing can resist or stop the flow of water. If it is done - temporarily - the forces that make it join the ocean effortlessly in the first place, will grow so strong that they will tear down any and all restrictions. A good analogy for western society as well.

Have You ever felt nausea over the fact that You were just heavily cheated on? That's what's getting to me the most. The cheating. Stay safe and healthy. And enjoy Your Wu Wei days. May klütern become Your fancy.

Due to the issues typing with iPad, there seems to be missing a piece of text. The missing piece was related to be singing to the music of "We are family" the 2020 version which goes "We are history"...

Caught that in another comment thread on another post of yours. Still playing in my head! 😳
