{∅, {∅}, {∅, {∅}}} : Rage Against the Meat Grinder

If anyone of us were the boy in Russel's head, would we crush the egg?   What would be the music which sedates us?   Warm herbal tea, potent herbal flower, fresh spinach?   Oranges?  Bananas?

Tobacco?  Coffee?  Alcohol?  Harder drugs, perhaps?

I understand slow suicide.   Vonnegut tried to kill himself with tobacco, but ended up dying in his 80's falling down and bumping his head.

If curious, see this or that:


 "Ten stone steps lead up from the sidewalk to the front door of the Manhattan brownstone row house at 228 East 48​th​ Street where Kurt Vonnegut lived for the last thirty-four years of his life. He’d walked up and down those stairs on thousands of days, but on the sunny afternoon of March 14, 2007, he descended them for the last time. Taking his little dog out for their usual walk, Vonnegut apparently got tangled up in his pet’s leash and fell face forward onto the sidewalk. The resulting blow to his head sent him into a coma from which he was unable to recover. He died on April 11. He was 84."

I don't think Vonnegut, suicidal as he was, would be booking any cruises to China anytime soon were he still In-the-Flesh.   Illness, germs … make people loco.   I am almost ashamed of my fear of such micro-organisms, but, to be left so defenseless … Compassion is the only adequate emotional reaction, but there is the Fear that the Healthy (all of us until sick) have of the Ill.

Claude Carrier mentioned something about the disdain and hatred prisoners in general may have for invalids.  While I have not witnessed that myself, I have witnessed the fear of skin contagions and what not.    Yes, in such places, there is extreme mistrust of the "germs as weapons" others may be carrying (no pun intended) in their very spit and blood.

I fear hospitals contain the most micro-organisms.   

Thanks for the video, Raul.

Holden,

Thank you for your words. I say that you are a father and your writings in this board are your literary sons/daughters.

There is nothing to add to what you have written. I don´t know who uttered these words: “View everything with many eyes, not through a single lens.”  I cannot follow this advice since I am a human being with limitations.

The day we entered this mortal world and saw the light for the first time the tragedy in this harsh mill of souls called Earth.

I heard on a radio station that a 53-year old guy died of the CCP virus. Like me he suffered from diabetes and high blood pressure and those health issues helped worsen his condition.That could happen to me too. I am tired of listening to the doctors say that their health measures helped save at least 15,000 lives. Those 15,000 lives would have been lost anyway but I do not expect honesty from the health authorities. They have remained extremely quiet about the origin of this Chinese virus. They have never said that we are under a biological attack.

In this blood-soaked continent we have inherited the Spanish custom of having sons in different walks of life in order to build the pillars of a strong society. One son would be a lawyer, politician, or businessman; the second, a military man; the third, a priest. The first would ensure prosperity by influencing the nation’s power and riches; the second would serve his country as a soldier and keep, law, order and peace; the third would teach people the ways to God. They were the holy trinity that maintained this caste system for a very long time.

Of course, as you know, this happens everywhere. Also the Incas, the Mayans and the Aztecs had their princes, soldiers and high priests. In many cases, the supreme ruler had to be all three. The historians call it the formula of triangulated control. But in this time we must add the physicians or doctors who are now the sacred cows. Since ancient times they have had the power of death and life but nowadays they are deemed more sacred than ever. Many would never doubt that those who practice medicine are holy men. We forget they kill too willingly or unwillingly.

By wearing the muzzles in the mouth we have become more mentally unstable in these one hundred days of quarantine because of doctors and the politicians. But we are just the human cattle and the human cattle needs to be domesticated with mano dura, hard hand and later be obedient.

I quote again Dear Comrade Stalin´s words:

A single person killed is a tragedy, but a million people killed are a statistic.


Stay safe.

Holden,

Yes, I read a little about the tense situation between India and China. Honestly, I only expect the worst to happen between these two giants.

I suppose animals must feel pain although I do not pay much attention to cats or dogs.
The most sensible thing would be to stay in your room reading Schopenhauer and other authors. 

Right now I am just expecting the worst to happen.  A reporter on a radio station suggested using those bracelets for prisoners and placing them on those who have been ordered to quarantine and if they leave their homes without authorization, the police would inflict pain using remote control.

But I thank the Bat Woman who created the CCP virus because once more it shows us the dreadful misery of the human condition. Thank you, Dr.Shi Zengli and your virus for inflicting so much pain, thank you for killing our best and the worst among us, thank you for leaving us abandoned and thank you for testing us.

Again thank you virus and Dr. Shi Zengli who designed you in the laboratory in Wuhan because once again it demonstrates the psychopathic condition of human beings. We are truly the children of Cain.

Stay safe.
