You're not allowed to say 'voluntary human extinction' even though we've all considered it at one point and even Bill Hicks considered the human race a virus.
Just opening a Dell computer was enough to have me climbing back into the trees, Douglas Adams suggested that even this wasn't enough and we should get back in the water. But this leads us back to voluntary human extinction as we are long past adept to under water breathing. (Perhaps that is what even he was suggesting.)
If the best of us are lead to death as an answer and 'the good ones' are all being killed, this leaves us with a very troubling situation that I fear demands particular attention.
Perhaps those in power need to realise that metaphysical wealth improves the economy as well, it is just as important as physical wealth. The duality of such value in operation would provide rich diversity for us all to enjoy and allow us to grow past the fear of our own race and the need to control.
I filtered out the influence of the deaths of Adams and Vonnegut as I didn't want to go to the trouble of indicating negative value.
One conclusion I came to while pondering the demise of Jack Valenti is that we cannot achieve an increase in human worth through death. JVs death did not help anyone, it was not a win for the copyfight, it did not assist in freeing our culture from the grasp of big business, it did not bring the MPAA to it's knees. Nothing was gained.
Perhaps, then, the most damning thing one can say about a person is that their death did not make things worse.
Root instinct, intrinsic to the human condition, I have faith, will free us from 'big business'. We let all kinds of shit past us as a race but when we are pinned down, really pinned down (in the Vista sense of the term), we suddenly grow wings.
[Man, ya know I could go on all day, but I've got to get dial-up running on Ubuntu. I'm going to look at emulating Reason 3 after that. I'm totally getting my head around the philosophy of it all too, like why the fuck ogg vorbis was even made.. Man, Windows is a fucking joke, it's like I've got my beloved Amiga back!]
