I was reading Adbusters and I began to think...

Are we finally screwed?

More and more kids are becoming depressed and cutting themselves, global warming is slowly killing us. Our leaders are old farts trapped in mind frames that are only going to get us killed and the rich-poor gap is growing. There's going to be some sort of big revolution in the western world if this keeps up, like the one they had in France.
I think I found out why Communism dosn't work, every communist society was based on the idea of Revolution. It's right there in the Communist Manifesto. Violent revolution dosn't get you anywhere, I give the French and Soviet Revolutions as examples. When the Second American Revolution comes, and it will come soon unless someone changes something quick, then we can kiss our closely guarded Western Freedoms goodbye. The Terrorists are not our real enemies, we are. And we need to do something to stop this, or I need to find a woman who I can stand being around for the rest of my life, find a secure and isolated cave, learn how to farm and rebuild the human race.
Becoming a hermit may be my best chance. Humanity isn't smart enough to avoid a revolution, we're all to stupid. Maybe I could try educating the masses so that they'll do something, but I don't see myself as this generations Timothy Leary or whatever, and I think Terrence McKenna already has that role. I need to find a way that will allow me to do my part in making humans smarter. The only way I feel I can do this is by writing. Maybe if I write the right stuff I could make people. Maybe I could do what Grant Morrison did with the Invisibles and make a megasygil that will somehow effect how people think and maybe make the world a better place.

Contemplating 9/11 and coming back to school

Today is 9/11. I just realized that things are never going to be the same for my generation. I suppose that alot of people have clued in on this, but this is a new sensation for me. A bunch of people destroyed something really important (that I never knew existed until they told me it was destroyed), and know we are blowing stuff up in the Middle East. Canada's in on it too know, since we are in Afganistan know.
It's just that things seem really grim because of 9/11. Once you just look at all the death going on in the world because of this, you just have to ask why the hell this is happening. I feel like part of the Scattered Generation. That's my word for my generation, I would have used Lost because I feel a great deal of Loss because of 9/11. Off what, I don't know, the people, our vision of society, the soul of western civilization as we know it. All those things. Anyway, Ernest Heimingway and his buddies already called the Lost Generation, and I real feel that we are scattered. Maybe we could also call ourselves the Broken Generation, because I sure don't feel that we are in complete working order. Maybe everything is Broken. Maybe we should just throw in this whole Civilization shit, since all it does is make everyone yell at each other. Maybe civilization is the work of the Devil. Maybe this is hell, which sure makes me feel comfortable, since I can only go up from here. Well, I sure hope that this is hell, because then Heaven must be really, really great.
Anyway, I've already got my share of work. I'm reading Brave New World, which is pretty scary for two reasons. The First Reason is the cliche, since it seems pretty close to own world, and second, it is kind of similar to the bit of my future history that I am know working on. The Feudal system, the sexual promiscuity, the conditioning, I even have test-tube people, but they are still used as slaves and human's still use sex to reproduce. I almost forgot theirs a third reason.
What if it's already happening?
Scary, isn't it.
Well, good bye. See you soon.
