(no subject)
OK I love my internal scientist. I like to examine why things evolved certain ways. Stuff like how people act protective over critters with large eyes, babies have large eyes, ergo women put on war paint to exaggerate their eyes. There is something that I can't figure out for survival of the species. It is STUPIDITY. More specific how people can so quickly throw away good sense and learning in favor of hope and 'magic thinking'. Is the suspension of disbelief some weird survival trait? How about rationalization...
"Oh this one brownie won't be a problem for my diet"
"I can drink and drive"
"When the spouse isn't drinking I never get hit"
"He says that the bank made a mistake, it wasn't him"
Look I'm well aware of this crap all triggering a million ACA issues. Why my attempts to stay literal and look towards rational thought goes overboard. I do my quirks as survival method honed from a childhood surrounded by dangerous adults who had all the power. You don't UNLEARN all your building blocks, you find out the ones that as an adult create friction and you either choose to change or you miss out on the advantages of growing can offer. It's like women who still well into adulthood or middle age who still will over act like a coy three year old. The manipulation disgusts the hell out of me but it STILL works for them.
Maybe all this bullshit stupidity isn't about survival of the species at all. Maybe it is just a symptom of the selfish glut that our excessive world is participating in attempt to maintain the survival of a childhood. The absolute absence of a world of adults is beginning to feel as a vacuum. There is NO air in a vacuum and people die there. There is nothing sexy or attractive about chosen stupidity, it is so overdone. Boys and girls need not apply, people seeking to become men and women and fulfill the growth should be at the steering wheel.
My happy note is I called my best friend last night, we keep missing each other on line. I think I gave her a couple of good laughs. I love her because we choose to grow. Tonight friends are taking us out for dinner. How cool is THAT!
