That is a pretty damned "better-than-though" stance you are taking with this one.
What adults do with their free time after they take care of their responsibilities is up to them. Your "real-life" as you put it, is no better than the digital ones people enjoy. Some of my best friends are people that I never met, playing video games together while cracking wise or talking of the news of the day.
More importantly this media you are ignoring show parallels and lessons to be learned. Game of Thrones, particularly the books are basically dramatic fiction surrounding the lessons of Sun Tzu's Art of War. Hell, the Harry Potter novels, particularly the later ones, have extreme parallels to happenings of the government and politics today. It astounds me that the liberal left and the swamp, who parade these books as great fiction, are too stupid to see the lessons learned espoused by it.
Also, do not pretend to act as if you do not believe a real-life to better than a digital one. Your statement that you have a "real-life" is absolutely stated in bad faith and shows bias. Right now my opinion of you are anything you have to say is nil since you access to knowledge is only in the "real world", TDW, and the Great Awakenings. There is so much knowledge to be had and you are just admitted you are just have actively closed yourself off to a massive amount of information. In other words, you aren't just coming off as ignorant, but you are actively aggressively ignorant.
If your answer to the challenges of mis-information is simply to block it out, you really have no business posting here as you are as presenting yourself to be as cloistered as those on the left that say 2 + 2 = 5. Be better than that and embrace sources of information you may not normally go to. Don't be like them.
Not really. When one has participated in reality for many decades, studied politics, been shot at, phone tapped, tailed and more, it gives you a bigger perspective of what is going on in the world.
Yes, that is true, BUT, when those “adults” have been programed like rats in a maze and without any self awareness consume the propaganda, consume the lies, as if they are on top of things it takes an adult in the room to help them understand their bondage.
Somehow people have been mind controlled to think that murder, mayhem, torture, etc. when done "artistically" is OK. I am “ignoring” the use of mind control using the tools of Bernays, Skinner, Freud, Pavlov, and others to lull people into a trap of limited critical thinking and pop culture indoctrination to accepting artificial intelligence in their SMART technology and digital distraction.
So now you are using a red herring fallacy and non-sequiturs to defend your position?? Meaning you are attempting to position me as no different then you, that I am a liar and not self aware. No”pretending” here at all fren. I am authentic, the real deal. You like others get defensive because you think I am trying to proclaim I am “better then you.” That is just your own insecurity coming through. This is what being awake is really about.
Ah, the end of the “conversation” and now the attacking without any obvious proof, just striking out in an adolescent manner to “save face.”
Mmmm, more attacking for a mental woodie to make yourself feel superior. So funny fren. No, I haven’t limited my harvesting of information, I just have chosen at this time to use the .win sites for some contact. As to my “intelligence,” well, in 1960 in high school my IQ was 127, don’t think I have lost any at all.
I have written 4 books, screenplays, hundreds of songs, been a radio reporter, and have participated in counter culture activism since 1967, I’ve been the guest on 2 hour radio shows, and from my being an Army Medic with the 101st, 82nd, and 4th Armor divisions for 3 years I have a pretty good understanding about war and the military.
I really don’t care about your opinion of me. Conversing with you is quite limited with your adherence to being a tough guy rather then an open one.
Your need to play board cop and decide who can be here is your own ego at work. You have a boarderline clever mind but you are not showing anything more then the same nonsense found from Black Listed News, Brietbart, Gateway Pundit commenters. The need to be right. Most likely a generational thing.
Here’s what I sing about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xnzl8IW1X_I&pbjreload=101
So I'm going to focus on this:
See most of the time on the internet, folks when listening to people argue would need some sort of burden of proof of their claims. In this case, I believe within reasonable doubt, that everything you claim is true here. Your storied life. Your adventures. Your past, present, and what you believe now. Its all true... and that is your failing here.
It is what makes you ignorant.
You rattle off your life's work as if it is some sort of resume, look at what I have done. You are literally trying to showing your superiority to me, and to just about anybody who is here reading your story. What a grand life it has been honestly! My life has not been as exciting, but then again, based on what you said here you are literally twice my senior. I still have a lot of living left to do.
See here is the thing: there has never been one post, not one in my history, where the term "I have a real life" has been used as anything other than a pedestal of superiority. You wear your accomplishments like sheath of medals. Because of your storied life, you sit on your high chair and look down at media and the goings on like some curmudgeon, like there is nothing to be gained from studying, watching, and following it.
I looked at what you said in your post about, and what I saw is no growth at all. You essentially doubled down on what you were saying without really even examining what suggesting. What did you say?
Here is the thing though, there is a world you refuse to explore. The internet. Media. Books. There is value to this, and you are actively choosing to dismiss, assuming that what you have seen and done is all you need, and there is no value to any of those things. If there is failing to be had about age an experience, is that with too much of it you assume too much and refuse to embrace what is new and different.
Honestly I choose to see most people here as authentic. Certainly you are. We are all frens here. To be perfectly honest, I like you. You didn't shit on me too much. You'd certainly be somebody to kick a few back with and listen to wisdom you most definitely have to provide. However you missed what I really wanted from you: don't be closed minded. Maybe I was hyperbolic, and certainly an asshole. Could be my youth and certainly it was part was the fact I don't like folks that look down on anything. You, in your age, have decided the world I have explored in my life provides no value to you despite the fact it most certainly does. Staying in that bubble is a bad thing.
I hope when I am your age, I continue to try to embrace and experience many new things. You should too. TDW and TGA are an infinitely small window of what life is.
They are.
Of course, if you live to 79 and have accomplished a lot of significant things then you would also be proud of them fren. People are often uncomfortable with others who have pride in their lives, who have lots of adventures and success, and their own insecurities make the lash out like you are doing.
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is hard business. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. "Rudyard Kipling (1865--1936)
Your continued ragging on me is getting tiring. You are offering nothing of substance but judgement. No questions, just accusations. Get it?
You are now just talking out your butt. I have read hundreds of books as well as writing four as I said. I can tear down my macs to their frames and rebuild them and hack my OS. You are fantasizing some bumbling old guy here and you are way off target young dude. I ride a motorcycle, lift weights, make love with my 38 yo honey, and more. You are out of your league ragging on me.
That is honest and I would offer that it might be something for you to examine, why you would assume that someone is “looking down on anything” because it has the indication of a wound of some sort. Yeah, I was a psychiatric social work specialist so I am coming from that discipline.
I hope you show the restraint that I have shown with your constant attack and assumptions on me.
When you say "I have a real life", I know everything I need to know about you. Its the biggest tell on the net. Maybe go look up hedging in chat. You've been around the net so long, you should get the concept, right?
Stay frosty out there.
