    Here's my nutter blutter theory, maybe, just maybe, the interweb is quickening the Collective Unconscious, you know, like the more angry blutters, trolls, what-have-you post that wankery out there, it reduces the wankery quotient and more quickly, like the inverse of global warming, or the right way round even, see! I feel better already and I'm still grappling with the Interweb Butterfly affect that when we all went posty on Number 9, my neighbour at Number 9 in my street passes away. Also, while I'm at Band Camp,
    Anyone read Teillhard de Chardin and his thoughts on the Noosphere? OK, now I will go back to normal transmission.

    So he is a sadist and a peeping tom?

    Well his forebear YAHWEH knew no bounds, at all, that's why the franchise needed a serious upgrade to...The All Lovin' God, Jesus, son of, but actually Lord, aw it's gets kinda complicated, you just gotta have faith. (More points, introduces another song title, I am on fire, and another...).

    Cheers Ben, I get that and I agree, do you think there's some Plato in there?

    I don't think it matters, half the stuff we worry about doesn't happen, and half the stuff we don't worry about does. But at the moment I put everything human down to Fear Of Death, I think it's my age. And just to curry it up, Unconscious Fear Of Death, hehhe.

    Nah, I said it's mumbo jumbo and I mean it, just food for thought, I'd much prefer not to have read some of the things I have, or had some of the experiences, but hell, at the risk of being called glib, life's a gamble (or is tha gambol).
    As I have passed the meridian (and the final taxi visited our nieghbour last Tuesday, number 9) I suspect old Garth is nearing that time when you ask yourself two questions,
    What have I done? And, is that all there is?
    Points for me, I got 3 song titles in there...

    Hmmm, Agent Riddeley, you are definitely coming unwound, everyone needs to come from time to time, and it's the inability to change regularly that makes Agents so vulnerable. Notice that the kiwiblogers never change, on anything, at all, ever? Now why would this be so, (see No Friends thread)...inflexibilty of mind leads only one way, to neurosis.

    Warning, psychology mumbo jumbo from failed first year psyche student (actually I passed some but bolted)...
    Conservatives, those with a conservative bent, tend to have been raised by conservatives. Gaining power and making money, then holding on to it require a particular type of family environment...(over 90% of US fortune 500 company's are family businesses). The home front, if you like, is heavily regulated and designed to perpetuaute the cash and powerflows. The children are rewarded for behaviours that objectify things in a worshipful way, i.e. that Hummer is one helluva car! Instead of subjectifying things, like, boy those Hummers are bullet magnets! Extroversion is rewarded, introversion not. And then there is being trained to consider "feeling" as an inferior function. I can recommend,
    Psychological Types
    Civilisation In Transition
    Aeon
    All by Carl Jung, not because I am a Jungian, because Jung really did deep research on the Judeo-Christian western mind and it's history.
