i've finally begun my own blog as anticipated for some time now. new to this and not very technologically knowledgable or savvy, hopefully the idiot-proof nature of the technology will afford smooth sailing for both i and my readers, of whom i hope to have eventually quite a few.
i've been struggling with trying to compose a good opening mission statement for this blog, unsuccessfully for a few days now. perhaps soon i'll come up with one. it's difficult to try to encompass all the thinking behind my perception/assertion that we're living in a dystopian and doomed world (doomed in the sense that our culture is grossly unsustainable, ecologically and environmentally destructive and almost certainly destined for catastrophic failure), and frankly, when trying to do so i tend to become overwhelmed and have to quit...
i anticipate posting regularly and quite frequently, depending on my moods and reader response. perhaps if no one seems to be reading or caring, i'll become discouraged and do so not so frequently...
i'm also struggling with how much self censorship i ought to exercise. ideally there would be none, but of course this isn't an ideal world and when one's views clash as vehemently as mine do with vulgar dogmas and convention, when one hates established institutions and 'conservatism' as much as i'm inclined to, when one's view of the intelligence and sanity of humanity has taken a beating so that one is inclined to very blunt criticism of many individuals and society as a whole, when one sees there can be serious consequences and blowback for indulging too freely in 'free speech'...
anyway, dystopian and doomed is finally a surreality. since my own abilities and knowledge leave much to be desired, i'll frequently be relying on pasting in links to videos, documentaries, articles, essays, quotes, other blogs, etc. to make my point(s). here's a very concise video expressing views which mirror my own regarding one of the biggest unacknowledged reasons behind the so called 'war on drugs', the fight to control individual consciousness, and the oppression of governments which presume to have the right to control how we may choose to alter our own consciousness. i hope u'll enjoy it and come back for more...
