Actually, I take that back. Scientists are innately good. That's why they design things like the Internet and AI to captivate us and turn us into helpless lemmings.

Empowerment is the solution to all the world's problems. It was right to empower Hitler.

On second thought, he almost caused the Genocide of the German people by pissing the rest of the world off, just like Trump is doing.

Trump belongs in an asylum, or maybe a prison.

I believe it is the right of every insane person to be able to run for President and to own guns!

Just kidding.

Maybe the White House needs to hire psychologists as much as doctors to look after the President?

The American people elected a lunatic!

Just kidding. I didn't really mean that. Therefore, I'm not insane. I'm insanely intelligent and know how to fool everyone, just like Trump!

@impenitent: Does all the above now make me the "big cheese"?

Sane people know the difference between right and wrong. Unlike Trump!

I think the poster impenitent needs to change his screen name to "impertinent". Evil people who want others to listen to them are deranged and impertinent.

But wanting to be listened to, in and of itself, does not make a person evil. What makes a person evil is to create or advocate for death and destruction.

AND THAT EFFECTIVELY WRAPS UP THIS EDITION OF "GARY'S CORNER". Tune in next week for another episode of wacky sanity!

Goodbye for now.

Life has been wasted on me. 59 years old, no family other than my mother, and on psychiatric meds; all I want to do is rot in bed for the rest of my life.

No, but you're not thinking it through. If you're right, as a nihilist, then it doesn't matter what your life has been. Neither can you waste it... because the whole thing was for naught anyway!

Meditate daily on your inevitable death, Gary Childress. Like a zen samurai without a retainer. And when you look around at all the people on the street, remember that they too are eventual dead meat. There is no sorrow here, no anger, just steadfast Stoic understanding like you might find in the lyrics of a Peter Gabriel song after he left Genesis.
