Good times and bad ideas
I've been logging lots of hours with my dentist, who is busy overhauling my head. I do very poorly under novacaine so I get to enjoy nitrous oxide instead. As such, I have endured enough drugs to earn a PhD in philosophy and I thought I would share some excerpts from my dissertation.
Now let me start by saying that at baseline I'm an atheist and objectivist and this is the state I return to once my out-of-body wanderings are done. I believe strongly in personal and social responsibility, but that's as far as my hippie dredlocks grow.
But when I take a nitrous nap, Thanos of Titan is waiting to guide me through all kinds of unreasonable nonsense, sometimes contrasted with Kama, Hindu god of love. Together we've taken tours of such subjects as the purpose of gender and procreation, the long view of beauty versus nihilism and what I can contribute to them in my life time, and, most interestingly, the interaction of consciousnesses through a medium of matter and energy and accounting for beauty and attraction. I have also rehashed ideas I examined long ago (and later read echoed in Hinduism and Buddhism), ideas of our world being the self examination of an absolute God, or that we are the current stage of God's attempt to reproduce.
This past visit, the dentist turned the tap and I saw good ol' Thanos standing at the threshold, grinning his Grin of Gleeful Armageddon(tm). I sought to pick up where my last session left off but my Titanic therapist took me in an entirely different direction. According to this delusion, I was deluding myself: none of my previous insights had any validity or were extremely overcomplicated. The true truth, according to my hallucination, was my baseline world view and that more importantly I was a million miles high. SERIOUS GOOD TIMES. Life is good, I have no need for self-induced bullshit, and I wish my fellow man well. In short, "the less I seek my source to some infinity the closer I am to fine."
....but don't worry about me expressing myself through song lyrics again. That's illegal. I ought to go to jail now.
