Seize the day. But my seizing happens to be getting bored of something then going into town. I lead a very boring life. But mind you that is a lot of people's life's. I just wish I wasn't so dissatisfied with it.
I was reading Brave New World. It's quite a scary notion when you look at it in it's entirety. When the entire world is controlled by what makes them feel good. When the idea of a family is repulsive and you are encouraged to sleep around. It just goes against everything that I think of as right and decent. And yet they justify it with a few simple words. And somewhere I agree with them. If pleasure was controlled then what could we do? Fell grumpy for the rest of our lives. It's inhumane and just plain wrong. But it would work. That's the problem with a lot of plans these days. They will work, but in some way or another they will violate some human right that somebody sometime wrote that people should have. In a way it's annoying that people get in the way of progress like that. But if we don't get in the way of industrial progress then we just end up with no resources. Bureaucracy does have some uses it seems.
It's the same way that war has it's uses. If the planet is getting overcrowded then inevitably a war will start and reduce the total population. I'm not saying it's good. But sometimes its necessary. I think I've written about this before.
I got a new mouse and it has made me better at games. It looks badass so I feel more confident while using it. That's actually a marketing strategy. If it looks cool and performs as well as other things will in it's field then it will generally sell. It's a confidence booster. You don't necessarily do any better but you feel better doing it. Same thing with clothes. A suit is a suit to me but apparently the brand is important. And people think and act superior if their clothes are more expensive than yours. Unless their a nice person but you have outliers everywhere.
Mind block...
