[Gary Childress]

The world is a shitfest.

[Gary Childress]

The world is a shitfest.

Or is the world a beautiful place? If it's beautiful, then I shouldn't be in it.

[Gary Childress]

Looks like mania. Lock me up!

[Gary Childress]

Or worse, make me live in a world that is dying in front of my eyes. Some of us humans are a "malicious species". Chomsky was wrong; it's only some humans who are malicious.

[Gary Childress]

Was Chomsky a closet "sexist" and "racist"? The more I think about some of the things he said, the more I wonder.

[Gary Childress]

Are racists and sexists not evil?

[Gary Childress]

It seems to me that they are. But they don't want to be seen as evil. They want to flourish like the rest of us.

[Gary Childress]

And who can blame them?

[Gary Childress]

Sisyphus was punished by the gods to a futile task of rolling a boulder that is too heavy up a hill. I am punished by God to "box my shadow" for all eternity. Who needs critics when I have myself for that?

[Gary Childress]

But Sisyphus is happy. I am happy. I just belong in an asylum.

[Gary Childress]

An asylum with an Internet connection, preferably.

[Gary Childress]

Most people deny being insane. At least I admit it.

[Gary Childress]

Definitely mania. Get me to an asylum. And have my secretary fix me a cup of coffee, pronto!

OK. Just had to throw some gratuitous humor at the situation. What I meant to say was, have the warden provide me with a coffee pot so I can brew my own.

[Gary Childress]

Foucault criticized the prison system too. Foucault wanted the insane and the impious to die on the roadside from self-neglect instead of being given permanent housing.

[Gary Childress]

"Continental Philosophy" is a farce because it mocks science. At least that's what the scientists say.
