Lies & Luck

“Western Civilization”

Last night, another trip to Ala Moana Center was made. The last of the slated donations (hair clippers and iPhone 12 case) were given to Lori instead. Dinner was courtesy Panda Express®. So, that’s that.

Fatigue and anxiety are still the order of the day. In analyzing the situation, another factor has come into play … lies. Life in empire is now based entirely on lies and fabrications. The few people who have courageously attempted to disseminate truth … Paul Craig Roberts, Brian Wilkins of The COVID Blog, Steve Kirsch et al. … have been systematically attacked by so-called “fact checkers” and bloviating “pundits.”

Being constantly bombarded with lies can result in various forms of psychopathology. In essence, the ability to determine reality becomes skewed. Of course, the fact that the rank-and-file peons regurgitate the lies ad nauseam increases the psychopathology. The result is an endless feedback loop, reminiscent of the swirling vortex of water in a flushed toilet bowl.

Well, the empire and collective “West” are a huge toilet with big globs of shit being deposited in the bowl in perpetuity. There’s nothing really left of “Western civilization,” which only reinforces the thesis of the failed “civilization” paradigm as detailed in the old “blog.”

With that said, this is the time to discuss an issue that has come to the forefront recently. In contemplation of the retrospective life, one conclusion can be made … that is, this particular personage’s life has been highly reliant on good fortune, fate, and “luck.” Every situation has turned out just fine, even in the “darkest hour.” A detailed analysis of the legacy journal and old “blog” would reveal such an outcome. In the era of Notes, there are many other “lucky” milestones and turning points of good fortune.

The latest, albeit superfluous, “lucky” event is the chance acquisition of the iPhone 14 Pro. Right now, orders for the device show deliveries exceeding six weeks. There’s no telling when the retail stores will have any stock on hand. Yeah, a foolish example, but one of many.

The greatest “stroke of luck” has been the avoidance of total dereliction, or what could be called the true loser’s life. There’s no doubt that, even in late adolescence, the trajectory toward failure was imminent. Scholastic performance was always mediocre, even in the university environment. Only during graduate school was a concerted effort made to succeed. Yet, upon graduation, no effort was made to enter professional wage slavery.

Overall, very few years were invested in actual employment. And, that only occurred after relocation to Hawai’i. Even then, the employment was marginal (i.e., pseudo-professor). The actual tenure of that career only spanned a decade. Then, retirement was declared at 52 years of age. This is “sloth” at its finest!

Yet, the meager amount of savings and the mendicant monk life-style allowed continued subsistence to this very day. Anyone else would have ended up on “Skid Row” or perished many moons ago.

Then, of course, there were the trials and tribulations during the “super-duper corona” plan-demic. Why was the decision to remain a “pureblood” (read: “unvaccinated”) made while the masses eagerly lined up for the bioweapon? Why was there a need to join the opposition?

This retrospective is a prelude to the expression of ultimate gratitude. Yet, who will this gratitude be addressed to?

Addendum: The conundrum concerning the disposition of Notes in on-going. Should it be mummified? Should it be replaced with much more terse social media? Who knows?

Miscellany: The iPhone 12 was a great device. It served well during the “super-duper corona” plan-demic, often being taxed beyond normal usage. Recall that the entire “blog” was cleaned up and reformatted using the device. And, it also served as the only conduit of entertainment during the Fascist lockdowns. The new iPhone 14 Pro will be fortunate enough to not go through that experience.
