I've been thinking about it and I've decided that I don't really want the world to end. I kind of like it here. I like squirrels. And I like trees.
And I like the way my blanket is all warm and cozy when it's really cold outside. I don't really like people very much, but I do like some of the
things that people make, like anime and books and movies. And I like pretty girls. So I guess I do like some things about people.
All in all, Earth is a really nice place. It would be sad to see her go away. I would like Earth to still be here in the future. And I think I'd like
to be here to enjoy that for a while. I could do without society. And I could do without control systems and money and I already gave up television
about ten years ago, so there are definitely some things I could do without, but I don't think it's worth ending the entire world to get rid of
these things. There has to be a better way.
I've also decided that I'm not really interested in any sort of doom and gloom reality. I don't mind if we all ascend to some sort of higher plane
of existence where we can walk through walls and conjure things into being by thinking about it and sex is irrelevant because we're all magical
psychic gurus who are above such silly things as purely physical bodies. That would generally be ok with me.
But...I don't want to live in an apocalyptic post-nuclear world, and I don't want to be invaded by aliens and eaten, and I don't want the be killed
by robots and I don't want to deal with earth changes and ices ages and comets and floods or fire and brimstone and angry gods and I don't want to
be rounded up into a concentration camp either by the NWO, the aliens, Jesus or even the flying sphagetti monster. If they'd like to visit, and chat
over tea, that would be be ok. If they'd like to visit and chat without the tea because they don't have physical bodies and eating and drinking is
self serving, that's ok too. But no rounding up and eating or enslaving people. I just don't want to deal with that.
Who agrees with me?
Can we have that? Can we have a nice future? Again, I'm not particularly concerned with the details. It's ok with me if we live in a
Star-trek style universe where humanity develops technology that makes all our problems irrelevant, or if aliens show up and say "Hey, humans!
You're doing it wrong!" or if the new agers are right and we all turn into pretty lights...whatever. Being a pretty light would be ok with me. If we
turn into pretty lights, I would like to reserve blue, please. I like blue. I wouldn't mind being blue. Or green. Or maybe even some color with a
really odd name like fuscia. Obviously it would be best to not be too attached to any particular color, and to be able to shift to whichever color
suited you at any given moment, but seriously...whatever is probably fine, as long as it's generally nice.
So maybe the Atlanteans did blow themselves up. Or maybe there never was an Atlantis. It doesn't matter. It's not my problem, and I feel no need to
go through any sort of cataclysm, whether it's cyclical or not. I feel no need to be rounded up, or eaten, or blown up, or endure any kind of
"karmic" payback of any kind. I'm good. If you really need to experience that yourself, that's ok by me, but personally I'd like to pass on the
cataclysm, thanks.
Can we do that? Can we humans have a nice future? Because honestly life has been extremely mediocre for the past ten years or so, and I'm not
interested in doom and gloom anymore. I've been there. I've done that. Let's do something fun and nice now, please.
I realize it may not be as "exciting" as it is to talk about as the latest "The World's Gonna End!!!" theory...but seriously...let's at least
have one reality where everything turns out spendidly, and really quite pleasant for everyone involved.
Who agrees with me? Would you tell me about it? Is it ok with you if the world doesn't end? What kind of future do you want to experience?
