psyche

Dead centre.

That feeling is recurring more frequently now. The feeling that the entire world has to be fought. For most of my life I’ve generally believed that there are more good or at least neutral people than there are “bad” people but there are moments - for example, while witnessing acts of police brutality or watching a news report which is not-so-subtly relaying the cheery announcement that the machine is slightly more fascist than it was yesterday. I feel like I am so saturated with the false connotation of “good” and “government” that I might as well be a complete idiot.

There won’t really be anyone to turn to in the end. In the long term, things can only get worse; it is the way of the world! I’d better shape up and find a nuke bunker or a batcave or something. I am not going to think “That’d be paranoid” and end up dead in however many years.

It’s been fucking unlucky with governments. It’s fucked. Good luck to free speech.

If western governments want to prove that the theory of anthropogenic global warming isn’t simply a pretext to sell more Toyota Prius hybrids or to stifle the industrialisation of LEDCs, maybe they should demonstrate this, perhaps by fixing some countries as opposed to draining out their resources and building military bases in them.

Lo, Psyche is revised and updated!

There have been many revisions of my “website”, some involving beautiful pages with bloated code brought forth from iWeb and others being hand-coded but bound to certain styles that tired quickly. However, Psyche is now past the “if this gets any worse I’m deleting it” stage. I actually like it now. I’ve made more aesthetic changes and such and am preparing for an overhaul of Science - I hope to trim it and condense the ideas worth keeping into things less obscured by rhetoric and thus more clear, since my primary objective here is propagation, not obfuscation. I also added a neat Glider mutation on the front, teehee!

Other news from my small corner of the web: I re-made the article “Michael_Lewin_(guitarist)” and started “Matthias_Wagner” - with his help - on Wikipedia, and I’m hoping that with the advent of Leopard I can start compulsively editing Apple-related articles once again. I’ve started going to Virgin Active again (lol) and will be fencing again soon - which will be tough as most of my muscles have atrophied. Oh well, these things happen. I was meant to see “Night at the Museum” today but we had some sort of retarded minor gas leak so we had to wait for the guy, became late etc. so I missed it but I’ll see it tomorrow and report back. I want it to be funny, I really do, but I’m afraid it won’t be… urgh. We’ll see.

Of course I must comment on the issue of Saddam Hussein’s execution. Whether the execution was real or not (didn’t see the transition from living to dead, could’ve been a body double etc.), I hope that Amnesty and other people who are in the right in this case don’t let people forget that revenge as “justice” is not sustainable. For the record, neither is the Western lifestyle, but hey, nobody cares, right? Humanity is a cosmic joke.
