Do you need to know who I am a bit, okay. I'm the guy who should be a movie hero, but its just my life, and I have no idea why, or how I got here. But it all seemed to start one day in New York City.

I am trying to be less blue lately.

American's might have grown a bit flabby, but we are still rather smart.

The problem with Russia is clear to me. They are invincible. That is what they believe and every illogical superstitious person would believe. But like a virus entering your country your health perfection won't work, because a virus doesn't care what you think, and an angry drone army doesn't care either.

Harris might be politically less radical, and Harris a good bet. Okay. But they don't seem at the right caliber. When I drink Bud, I don't drink Bud Light.

When we stopped the initial invasion of Russia in Ukraine and the war continued I had to think: "They may have the second largest military in the world, but America is the first and four times larger and more violent. Are they out of their minds."

I think we need to go back in time or into a fictional world when evil was very real, because that is what we are seeing a lot of lately.

The law suits are coming!

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.
