Soon, as we enter firmly into a long and grinding depression, the 1990s are going to look like even more of a belle époque.

And inevitably even more goofuses will come out of the woodwork claiming that, “It’s just because you were a kid!” Even though I and many others observing how comparatively nice was that era were full-ass adults during most of that decade. I spent half of that period as a paratrooper in the US Army, which is no one’s idea of an easy life.

It’s just another example of a basic denial of reality in service of substitution in of ideological astigmatisms.

But such is modern life.

It’s amazing that in places like Reddit clownishly incorrect comments get upvoted. It’s as if people have an allergy to anything being even vaguely right and to reality itself. Like this asinine comment.

Unemployment in the US reached 10.0% in October 2009.

I care more than anything about having the actual, real data in my mind. And being right. I have no problem admitting when I am wrong as that leads eventually to being correct. But I just cannot tolerate clueless clownishness, which is the mode most people seem to operate in.

I want no part of that which is why I do not enjoying being around people in general.

Every time I see crap like this I’m so very glad I never had kids.

I do not tolerate that sort of thing very well at all. Anyone who breaks my stuff is my enemy.

There are people who say things like, “You can’t possibly keep the sleep schedule that you do and survive.”

Then they stay with me or are around me for a bit and see that it’s true — that I have no discernible circadian rhythm and only take naps. It’s funny how often in my life that has happened. I don’t know why I am the way I am. Just am.

But it’s not hard for me. In fact, the opposite. It’s quite easy. I don’t get jet lag and I sleep when I am tired. Nothing difficult about that at all.
