The Begining

It all begins with a blank page, but visitors bring with them an enormous amount of baggage with them. This baggage i speak of includes all the things you've been taught both directly and indirectly, with the indirect teachings being amongst the most insidious. Insidious because out of consciousness means outside the realm of your ability to logically decide for yourself.
But i tangent off into sub thoughts to quickly. Lets leave that subject behind and start at the introduction.
First, who am i? Who are you? Names, perhaps, subconsciously give ppl a sense of understanding once that name is associated with someone or something. As if giving gravity a name, or Einstein his name: it would somehow allow us to suddenly and magically encompass the entirety of the subject once some related facts become known. These related facts generally are summarized in a description which in the case of humans, defines who they are. Once defined a person generally behaves in a consistent fashion according to that definition which they themselves write and reveal through action and word to others. This definition for one's self i think is just a collection of patterns one's self notices in his/her environment in childhood, and thus we generally behave like what we see on tv, like our parents, and like our friends. So it is that our soul( the most succinct word for the essence of ones behavior) is formed during childhood to eventually crystallize mostly unchangable when we reach adulthood and subconsciously choose that our definition is complete.
Me, i refuse to be defined. To me, adulthood is merely the death of the fluid soul. To exist in a constant state refusing to accept new fundamental changes in behavior might just as well be a physical death.
You? You are merely the sum of your childhood experiences. A robot programmed by a world which largely doesn't recognize its subtle affects on the impressionable. But you still have a choice, you can still choose what to accept and what to reject. You can still take back the remote control for your mind and soul.
This brings us to the ultimate question. What is the 'perfect' self? Which value should hold priority over what other values? In a nutshell, what is 'good'? Im not about to mandate what your values should be and how they are ordered. But to me, if your not constantly moving towards the goal of your perfect self(or at least logically evaluating it), your not truly alive and deserve no more consideration than a tool.
One first step you could take is to define where humanity as a whole should be in a 'perfect' world. Should humanity as a whole take priority over your own desires: over your own life? What is technology like? What sort of actions are performed by ppl in this world? How do you maintain this perfect world? What are the action which should not be performed in this world?
Then list virtues which you believe you should possess and relate them to this perfect world. If you cant seem to place them in your perfect world, perhaps you should re evaluate this as worthy of the title of 'something good'.
But what am i doing here really. It's futile. The world is going to shit with war, pollution, overpopulation, an energy crisis, and propaganda. As if a poorly assembled blog could make a positive impact on the world at all is pretty naive of me. But alas, i feel compelled to do something. Anything.
Check out this link for some truths about just how fucked this planet is, i wouldn't accept 100% of it as the truth but in particular i think the sections about the monetary system and just how far governments are willing to go to justify what they do is right on the nose.

And this link is a lecture which touches on 2 huge events creeping up on humanity; overpopulation and oil supplies. What do you think will happen when a government with nuclear weapons is refused oil when it starts to dry up? To me it seems a near certainty that mankind does not have long before things change radically. Possible extinction through global thermonuclear war. And soon. Note the charts and the year. Most likely within our lifetime.
