Interpret This!

Word!

This might become an ongoing post topic, because I find it fun and enlightening to re-interpret some one’s words, and have comment participation with readers.

Although, history shows us how dangerous interpretations can be… =)

I will be listing 3 quotes by well-known and even unknown authors, public figures, and artists.
Then I will give my own Halfass interpretation of each quote.
I encourage all who read this post to pick one or all of the quotes and then give their own interpretation.
Have fun!

Brainwashing, Education, and How You've Come This Far

Filed Under: Blog
Mar.31, 2009

Today I found this great read on the subject of brainwashing and how it occurs in life, both naturally and unnaturally.

It sheds great light on how we as ‘humans’ come to form our basic survival circuits based on Timothy F. Leary‘s famous 8-Circuit Model of Consciousness.

Before we move on I’d like to say how much I as well as other’s appreciate the life works of Timothy Leary. If it were not for Leary and the likes of others, today’s society may not be as “open-minded.”  

Unfortunately, do to the highly controversial subject of his research, and there being many misconceptions and a ton of false information, Leary’s ideas and findings are not entirely well known.

Now, on to the good stuff…

Today I decided to design a little something that reflects/reinforces the ‘Sheeple’ concept, and how easily we are conditioned by television programming.

Feel free to comment on what thoughts this piece brings out in you.
Please Stand By

“If the education of our kids comes from radio, television, newspapers – if that’s where they get most of their knowledge from, and not from the schools, then the powers that be are definitely in charge, because they own all those outlets.” -Maynard James Keenan

“The nuclear generator of brain sludge is television.” -Dave Barry

“Television has brought back murder into the home – where it belongs.” -Alfred Hitchcock

Welcome…

Today’s post appears to be about wild pigs…er…actually it’s about catching wild pigs. Or for those who will read the story and completely miss the point…It might be about governmental conditioning of it’s citizens, or about how we get used to the way things are and blindly keep accepting. 

The story that follows requires you to read “between” the lines…
Read it, Apply it, but don’t look too deep, after all it’s just a story =)…

Thought Exercise: Eliminating the Word "is"

Filed Under: Philosophy
Mar.26, 2009

For anyone who stumbles upon this BLoG, I have a little exercise for you.

Try going through one day without using the word “is,” and instead replacing it with “it appears to me” or “it seems to me.”

It’s called E-Prime, and you can read more about it HERE via Wikipedia. This is something I first learned about by watching a YouTube video with Robert Anton Wilson.

Now, this may be very hard for some people to do(at first), but if you try it, you will start to notice a change in the way you analyze things in this world.

How can you prove that something really “is?” Something may appear to you in one way, but to someone other than yourself it could seem completely different.

Here’s a really short and “sweet” poem I wrote in high school. I just recently dug it up, and decided to share. Enjoy!

Only Human
By Ego Mnemonikos 

Clueless are our minds
Consumed by fictional greed,
The ones who are much stronger
Stand back to watch us bleed…

What does this poem mean to you?
