bra tips
1) Start from the beginning, then work your way backward...
2) You were meant for great things in life; unfortunately, only others will consider them great. You will be disappointed...
3) What we refer to as history is not factual, but rather, an example of literary faction. In fact, our political factions stem from this artistic amalgam; resulting in the cinematic faction we refer to as ‘current events’. This is far from shocking considering the fact that our thoughts are merely faction novels authoring themselves in an effort to create factional strife among us for the purposes of masked entertainment. How’s that for pretentious???
4) Quick reminder: information is not experience...
5) What exactly are you trying to prove with all that provocation???)
6) Drug addicts are really just frustrated chemists...
7) Stop fact checking and start listening. You might actually learn something, unless you’re listening to an imbecile; in which case, you may glean something indirectly; unless that imbecile happens to be you and you’re talking to yourself, in which case, it’s therapy. Why are you still reading this???
8) Religion is a pension. Hedonism is a mortgage...
9) You are both the mad scientist and test subject. Life is your laboratory, death is retirement and vacation is a myth...
10) Metaphors are a crutch; get it???
11) Stress can shorten your life but make it feel longer. Now, that’s one hell of a quandary...
12) Stumbling upon the problem of induction, Jorge was left churning in a limbo of methodological solipsism...
14) Dreaming to dare may get you farther than daring to dream...
15) Mankind has become hopelessly and unwittingly addicted to systems; yet, we all know that every new upgraded system will ultimately fail us. Rather than calling into question the very concept of systems and our addiction to it, we hope- fully trudge on, trying to create our own new and improved systems whilst anthropomorphically attempting to discover systems in nature; ultimately projecting our neuroses onto nature by assuming she has the same psychological hangups that we do. Disturbingly enough, the only system nature has veritably revealed to us is one of eternal entertainment by way of thaumaturgical legerdemain, i.e., baiting us with semblances of order so that we invest ourselves wholly in our systems of belief rooted in our belief of systems (that’s the setup) and then to disillusion us with the injection of her chaos (and there’s the punchline); thus, revealing her little magic trick to the sagacious whilst frustrating the addicted...
16) The inquisitive mind will never be satiated; the rabbit hole is without end...
17) Death has a way of giving our lives meaning and, at the same time, making life itself seem utterly pointless...
18) I can’t help it: resistance is irresistible...
19) Here’s a ‘chicken or the egg’ scenario for you: Which came first: (A) Surveillance marketers monitoring our behavior and catering to our tastes, or... (B) Surveillance marketers shaping our tastes through besieging us with prefabricated choices???
20) Sloganeering the bromide ‘Freedom of choice’ was a canny marketing ploy which gave rise to an illusory sense of personal power among the common man while simultaneously usurping his authentic choice and alas, leaving him impeccably bereft of personal power. Next time you are presented with a list of choices, remember that the only sane choice is “none of the above”. Unless you’re a fool; in which case, you can always fall back on eeny-meeny- miny-moe, which is probably smarter...
21) Efficiency rarely begets proficiency...
22) Nearly everything we make eventually breaks. Anytime something breaks, it loses its identity. It no longer is the thing that it once was; it has become something new and must serve a new function or else it becomes idle junk which needs to be dealt with. Notwithstanding, we seem to focus the bulk of our energy on creating things which will serve no purpose other than pollution when they inevitably break. Incidentally, this book should never ‘break’; however, if the owner no longer finds it useful as is, it can easily be used as something else. Off the top of my head, I can think of 51 different uses for a discarded book (I’m sure there are many more); how many can you think of for a broken gadget? Striving to fill the marketplace with products that will serve myriad useful functions after their initial role has been rendered inviable may behoove us in the long run. Or maybe it will crash the economy, what do I know???
