Today was just another day with its own complexities that just going by it makes me want to go back to those simplistic good old days of cavemen… you know the hunt-eat-sleep-shit while on the move-hunt again routine. In between maybe you find somebody of the opposite sex and end up having a few children who once they get into the group in the playground are as indistinguishable as the kids that were born to the other indistinguishable parents like yourselves… bloody hell your find of the opposite sex maybe forgotten the next time you find another…
Everybody would be called ugh… and everything would be ugh… we would not have the complexities of niceties where we can’t grunt in front of others… when your entire communication is a grunt, then it makes it impolite not communicate and remain silent… well ok I won’t go back the bad things of how the society and culture developed the concepts of courtesy…
One of the worst things that has evolved or maybe rather devolved due to the concept of professional courtesy is that of our communication skills… we would rather be misunderstood and misinterpreted than be loud and clear… or rather convey everything risking disrespecting the other person’s knowledge and understanding of whatever we are trying to confuse him with… or rather giving out a very simple answer rather than an ambiguous statement and putting the listener in a dilemma of asking questions and appearing even more stupid. But Combine that illiteracy in interpreting the mind of the conveyor with the more tangible and logical illiteracy of the concept itself, you end up proving what you were desperately hoping to disprove.
Some wiseguy said that the toughest problems apparently have the simplest solutions or something like that… or what I would want to interpret it as is that most things that life demands are pretty simple that are unnecessarily complexified by the millions of the complex neural networks leading to the world’s greatest complexicator – the brain… umm, I guess you must have understood the intent of the previous sentence. Oh well anyways what I am trying to convey here is that we have scr***d up a nice and simple world that was one a haven for nice things that money can no longer buy… but today money can buy many things and is one extremely simplified yet complex situation that man has gotten himself into… in his ever hungry pursuit for the nice things in life he simply forgets that money can’t get those for him and instead ends up destroying those very things he set out to acquire with the simply complex concept called money…
Oh ok, you maybe asking why I have dedicated a paragraph to money, and in this seemingly incoherent scheme of things does it find a part? Actually, half a paragraph. Here is the other half. The funny thing is that we are all in this together. The more money we try to make we are obliviously building an intricate web of complexities around ourselves, and the already existing web that we have created or were left behind by others. The web unlike a spider web is not a beautiful piece of engineering but is a clumsy disaster that is just waiting to pull you down with it under its own weight and your great networking skills.
Now all of a sudden you realize that the web has become one hell of a monster and is currently in a dangerous position to suck you in and immobilizing you, and you feel that it is time you started to tidy it up a bit. But where do you start? It is like a massively multi programmer operated reckless garble that is usually seen of those evil things called “code”… a point to be noted at this point is that man having destroyed mankind with the invention of a language manages to spread that disease of destruction to inanimate objects by inventing the computer language. And getting back to the sticky thing that is our web, it is something that god could not create for us, but we are more intelligent than him when we created something called – erase and start from scratch. You know we can always erase the existing code and start from scratch. But maybe god could do that and his creations are powerless just like we are currently assuming our creations sitting inside the computers cannot erase themselves.
But yes though we secretly hope that the matrix will not become a reality, we are also secretly hoping that it would. We do not want our creations to become creators themselves and create a more complex hierarchy of more complex entities. Maybe our creators felt that way too, and as is very wisely portrayed in intellectual movies like Jurassic park or anaconda or king kong, we can’t control nature – how much ever money that control can make for us because there will always be a $@#$% who can cause havoc because of the same pursuit you are in pursuit of. That is a complex butterfly effect in itself. Maybe we should all head for the Himalayas.
PS. Here is something far more simple.
