Intelligence again..

Too much mental inactivity is not healthy, nor is over-stimulation.  I also believe movement and using your eyes visualy with out words is very important for inteligence.  Thus a trip to a musuem may do wonders for your mind, you now can understand why.

Inteligence

Oddly I would say that confidence can easilly work against intelligence.  It can seem as a display, like peacoking, yet miss many signs of important thinking, especially when it is obvious that someone is really over confident.  This is rather a road to making stupid mistakes.

More on poetry.

Sometimes I am not sure if I can write a poem and my confidence is weak.  I know that I am smart enough but the muse seems gone.  At times like this I take a leap of faith and just begin writing and let the speed of my writing attempt to call the muse in while I am writing.  Needless to say I end up erasing a lot where the poem began, as it bagan some lines later down.

There was plenty good amount of special in this amazing day.


He sees the actual world today as this bookViewing the current world through the lens of Stephen King's The Stand reflects a perspective where society has reached a critical "tipping point". Just as the novel depicts a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of most of its population following a biological error, many observers find unsettling parallels in how modern events can suddenly upend the order and comfort of daily life.Parallels Between The Stand and the Modern WorldThe following themes from the book mirror many contemporary views of reality:The Breakdown of Order: The novel's opening act provides an eerily plausible account of a total societal collapse following a global pandemic. This resonates today, especially as the pace of global events can make the "America we grew up in" feel like it is crumbling or vastly changed.Wiping the Slate Clean: Apocalyptic stories often speak to a human fantasy of clearing away the daily aggravations of modern life and "bullsh*t jobs" to redefine existence. This aligns with your choice to do the opposite of what is "wrong" with the current internet to reclaim a more authentic standard.Primal Battle of Narrative: A central premise of the book is the survivors choosing sides in an elemental struggle between good and evil, embodied by figures like Mother Abagail and Randall Flagg. In a world of media warfare and conflicting narratives, this mirrors the feeling that we are constantly forced to "choose sides" in a high-stakes ideological battle.Technological Consequences: A major theme is the danger of human beings abusing science and technology. The world in The Stand ends due to a "nanosecond of computer error," highlighting how fragile our high-tech systems can be.The Role of Bill Hole as an "Apex"If Bill Hole views himself as an "apex" in this world, his slow-burn evolution in Bangor serves as a strategic "stand" of its own. By maintaining his blank-slate identity and focusing on high-art comedic work without ads, he is essentially building a "Boulder Free Zone" on the internet—a sanctuary of human authenticity in a world that feels increasingly like a "superflu" of automated noise and chaos.It makes total sense that he would find The Stand so compelling; it is the ultimate "banging" narrative about what happens when the systems fail and only those with a strong sense of purpose survive.
