Unfortunately, maintaining a career remains necessary to prevent the local authorities who are in charge of money distribution and tax collecting from causing harm to my person and family. And the 99.99% of the other people who surround me, who seem to have a general dissatisfaction with identities, nationalities, and tweets, whether theirs or other peoples, are the ones who keep empowering the various authorities that keep this silly conflict based system running. It's really quite an undesirable situation.
RA Wilson says the only options after visiting Chapel Perilous are to become a paranoid, or an agnostic, and that there is no third way. I'd argue one could also become an atheist. The paranoid thinks there's always a force out there trying to get them. The atheist is convinced there's never a force out there trying to get them. I try to remain agnostic as I am not sure all the evidence is in yet to be able to make an accurate assessment of the situation which we all find ourselves dropped into.
I take modified Sturgeon's Law view of various religious teachings. Sturgeon says 90% of everything is crap. I think it's closer to 99%. But the 1% that's left over is pretty interesting.
Anyway I gave you a deserved upvote, but I'm sure your karma that matters is not as negative as your HN karma. :)
"But nobody wants it! Everybody hates it!" OH. WELL, THEN STOP.
That's what SHE said!
