Of Weird Behavioural Patterns. And Of The Rationale Behind Stupidity

December 1, 2009

Of Weird Behavioural Patterns. And Of The Rationale Behind Stupidity Dan Majestic writes: What goes through the heads of drivers who approach a red light but continue to pick up speed. You must have seen that happen a lot. There they go, 400 yards left to the junction and the lights turn red. There’s absolutely no chance of green coming on any time soon. Not even half a chance. But does the approaching car/truck/van/ bus/motorcycle slow down? No, they keep on speeding. So I’m trying to figure out here: what’s the thinking behind it? Because it does seem frighteningly obvious that hitting the breaks would become a necessity at any moment soon. If you are not pissed or on dope, that is, and changing lights do not really mean anything to you.Weird, very weird.

And what is the thinking behind sleeping with total strangers? Strangers, as in people you’ve never seen before and will never see again. What motivates these passionate individuals who jump into the sack with some easy going dude or dudess? Don’t they understand that they may land themselves in trouble? Ranging from trouble, curable by a course of antibiotics, to very serious shit that could screw their lives forever. Or even end it. What is the rationale behind f..king like a rabbit in May? That life would not be fulfilled if you don’t go through the ‘1000 total strangers in the sack’ barrier? Or that everyone is doing it? Or that it’s cool to live by your dick or the opposite of dick?

Weird, very weird.

And what is the rationale, if you pardon the fancy lingo, behind sitting, glued to the box, watching trash and gulping junk food and sucking beer? How does it exactly make anyone’s life richer and more fulfilling? Is the thinking here goes like this: I haven’t spent a single whole day in school and I’ve never opened a book in my life that’s why I have to catch up on my education and watch the box, day and night, to enrich my inner world and pick up useful hints on how to deal with people? Is that the rationale here? If it is, then you’re technically dead already. Even before that stroke or heart attack, caused by overeating and not moving, hits you.

Weird, very weird.

And once we’re on the subject of education, what’s the thinking behind not having any of it? So let’s look at the possible rationale here: I’m going to drop out of school, these people are thinking, and hang out with my mates instead, and drink and smoke and shag, and I’ll still be able to have an exciting career, like going down the sewage, collecting dog shit, sweeping the streets or sitting on benefit all my life. And selling drugs while claiming benefit. Yeah, who needs to study when you can have a great time anyway?

Weird, very weird.

And what’s this thing with taking hard drugs? It’s not like people don’t know what the side effects of dope are. It’s not like they say: hmm, crack cocaine and heroine, I’d better try them, over and over, as I have absolutely no idea what harm they can cause me. I’ve never heard that drugs are bad for people. Why don’t I have a taste of that rough cut powder and get that needle into my vein? What harm can there be from that? I’ve seen it done on the box many times.

What goes in the brains of people who start using hard dope? It can’t be that they’ve never heard what this shit does to people. I’ll never buy this idea that people should be taught about the dangers of hard drugs? We don’t have to teach them that it’s bad to eat washing powder or drink washing liquid, do we? It sort of comes with the territory. So what is the rationale behind getting hard dope into your system? Want to die young? There are so many high rise buildings around nowadays to do it much more gracefully, if you into that dying young sort of thing.

The point here is this: there is a certain amount of common sense in everyone, apart from devoted Darwinists, and it should be enough to figure out what’s good and bad for you. Even you if you have half a brain.
