Right now I feel an ominous sense of doom. This country is screwed, the world is screwed, we’re in for one hell of a century. Where to begin? Global warming is melting the ice-caps faster than anyone expected. Sea levels are going to rise fast. We’re running out of oil and we don’t have a good alternative to take its place. energy prices are rising and they’re only going to get worse, especially because of new demand from China. America is in an enormous amount of debt and we have no way of paying it off any time soon. The government is slowly but surely eliminating our civil liberties. There is a ton of animosity towards this country all over the world. And we’re in a quagmire in Iraq that wont end for a looong time.

So let’s sum up: loosing the major source of energy, loosing a ton of land on which to live (due to rising sea levels), loosing our rights, loosing our economy, and being engaged in a perpetual war. Yes it’s easy for one to get depressed in the face of all this, I feel like I should encourage people to be optimistic, but right now I don’t feel very optimistic. Then again, the only possible way to get ourselves out of any of these predicaments is to get off our lazy asses and do it ourselves. A good place to start is WeAreGod.org since getting people to stand up and do something is exactly what they’re all about. The world is in a bad place, we must do something about it!

consumerism is the government realizing that they can easily distract people with shiny lights and toys and comfortable things and sugar and fat and creature comforts. they tell us that that’s what freedom is, but really it just distracts us. it distracts us from reflecting on the world, and reflecting on death, and reflecting on life, and the way things are. we spend our time buying things, and creating waste. all the while slowly killing our planet. and we never see it, or we do see it and we don’t care. my only hope is that somehow the drive towards giving us all information and pleasure at a convenience leads to us living in some utopic fairy land. perhaps through technology we will be set free. there’s always two sides to the coin

Ok, interesting story. In 10th grade I was doing a math equation, and I got an incorrect answer. The answer I got was -1/21. Now for whatever reason, when I saw that number I liked it. I thought it was special for some reason, I didn’t know why I just had a feeling. So I’ve remembered it for all these years (I think that Diabolicus and/or “the one that has been” can verify this part of the story). Shoot ahead to the present, I’m bored, so I decide to type 12/21/12 (december 21, 2012. if you don’t know the significance of this date…look it up) into google. Well google has this feature now where if you type in an equation, it solves it for you. I had unwittingly done this, so I see the number 0.0476190476 and I’m thinking “this looks familiar.” So I try typing in -1/21 and lo and behold it equals -0.0476190476. At this point my mind is throughly blown. I mean, I definitely knew nothing about all this mysticism shit back in 10th grade, I just felt something special about that number, and I’ve been trying to figure out why for years. And now it just happens to be equal to a date that I hold sacred? Too weird. Any lingering doubts about the reality of that date are washed away for me.

Over the years I’ve come to realize something, I’m better than every other person I’ve ever met. I’m smarter than them, more attractive than them, wittier than them, and just generally better in every way. Sure there might be some lucky soul out there who’s better than me, but I seriously doubt it. I mean, I’m Anthrax Tao. It doesn’t get any sweeter than that. No offense intended to the rest of you, I’m just stating a fact. So read my shit cuz its the most interesting, definitely more interesting than the crappy shit the rest of these whiney losers keep crapping of out their fingers and onto your eyeballs. Save your brain from word-shit, read me and you’ll never go wrong; try to be like me and you’ll become a better person. These are valuable life lessons.

Anthrax out!

It is a generally accepted fact time seems to get faster as one gets older, perhaps the explanation for this lies in the theory of relativity. According to relativity, nothing is absolute and all judgments of measurement (length etc.) are based upon comparisons (an inch is shorter than a foot, but what’s an inch by itself?). One’s life is all the time one knows and thus is the only basis of comparison for making a judgment on the length of time. So when you’re 1, a month is 8% of your entire life, and hence seems to be a very long period of time. But when you’re 20 a month is only .4% of your life and thus seems much shorter than it did when you were young. This would account for why time seems to get faster as you get older, each individual moment seems less compared to how long you’ve lived.

When you die and your life is complete, you have only lived a lifetime. You have nothing to compare it to so it is simply a lifetime in length. A child who dies, a teenager, an adult, they all lived a lifetime. To each individual the length of existence seems the same, because it is all the time that they’ll ever know. It is total and complete. It is a lifetime.
