Hai there! This is the seventh and final 30 minute thoughts writing experiment which means I really need to quickly learn how to properly edit a Vlog. Because that's the next step. I think it might take a few days before I get to recording it, I'll be posting up more than one video, probably one a day for about four to five days so that I have something to work with and people can watch me going 'Oh, this guy is mildly funny and different to most people I know, I might watch another video of his just to confirm my dislike for him. And then they do confirm it, but a week later my name niggles in the back of their mind and they can't help but watch more of my videos and then they read my writing and becomes obsess with the strange feeling that they shouldn't like me and they can't help but be all over everything I do and then they get really creepy and find out where I live and send me dirty knickers and lockets of my own hair in the post. I dunno why he's doing that, being a man and everything.
But that's the dream anyway, feeling threatened to death by the only person in the world that enjoys the things I do. Someone did say something like that before, about doing stuff for yourself and if only one other person likes it in the world, you're a success. But I really don't consider that success as oppose to increasing the enjoyment of the world from your stuff by literally double (you and the other person) which sounds a lot... but it's crap. Unless you end up falling in love with that person and having lots of children who have lots of grand-children who remember you and then that's mildly successful to such a normal standard. But I'm not happy with that - I need to be a household name in three thousand years - because that's success.
I find it weird to think that population growth gets repeatedly faster as time goes on (because growth in population by definition increases growth rate - think about it) but at the same time we have really strict health and safety and huge areas of science trying to increase your life expectancy. Which would suck, because when people stop dying, the population growth goes crazy an we become crowded in every place in the world and then science slows down because of crappy conditions, people live in more primitive areas, and smaller tribal communities, some tragedy happens affecting the climate of the world over night and we slowly devolve our intelligence because it's not as useful to us compared to a more complex digestive system for higher survival. This doesn't sound good at all...
I'm not suggesting we slowly kill people off. But surely there's a system that doesn't affect the world too much and is humane just to start saving our planet. Because it's either very quickly learn how to travel through large areas of space and colonize another planet, or just a universal three children limit before sterilization? I mean any more than three is just greedy, and many many people are happy with just one. But we don't generally end up with the problems that China has with illegal abortions 'n crap. I dunno, I don't think it'd be too bad. And before anyone starts thinking I'm some sort of cold hearted twat - I'm actually a libertarian, just trying to be logical.
But I had a really awesome idea about this actually that I might use in a story, that it's a stupid idea telling you because I don't really want anyone to steal the idea. But at the end of the day, it's not really an idea that isn't out there already. But surely as technology advances, we fight lighter ways to gave stronger armour, we're inventing nano-bots and smart computers in the form of glasses etc. we're gaining this elite sci-fi kind of soldier. Now, at least they're not genome soldiers, cause that adds the the population control. But if we're essentially making invincible soldiers to go into battle - when both sides have these, war is pointless because outcomes become bizarre and non-fighting, so countries and dictator bastards would have to find other ways to mass murder other people than their own. I dunno, rock, paper & scissors for the land or something.
But then we've spent so much money on making soldiers invincible to the point that they don't need to be invincible because war becomes pointless. The only real point of war is to try to kill as many people as possible to make your main objectives for a takeover possible - or if you're on the good side it's to try to take out the least amount of people possible to do the same. (Because life has good and bad, kind of. But not in the TV story sense where 'means to an end' is bad, but 'acts in themselves' are good.) It's just a bit silly I think.
What I do find funny though is that I almost mistyped 'kill' as 'kiss' in that last bit. So the idea of war is to kiss as many people as possible to make your main objectives possible. Now that would be an interesting war. Maybe that's what it turns into when all the soldiers become invincible, nobody can kill each other so they all just have a massive orgy on the 'battle-field' and the last person to orgasm wins the war for their side? Or something like that... Hey, it's by far a fantastic reason to recruit more female soldiers! (if you get what I mean) - thank you, I'm, here all week.
To be honest, I'm probably not the right kind of person to be talking about war itself, if you didn't notice I'm not really very fond of it and as a result have little interest in actual war and probably have absolutely the wrong idea about it - but I do know a couple of things. I know I hold empathy for the situations of people who become involved in wars, especially throughout history when war was a much more bloody and head on collision kind of thing. You've got to pay heed to all the insignificant people who make up the population - they're the ones being fought for, because people are people, whether they're changed or smart or interesting or not; everyone has a story. I also know that people are going to go to war no matter what. People will also start wars, people will always fight - and it's because we're not just animals, but we're animals with reason. So we have desires and those desires boil down to animalistic crap about power and things like that. It's why I disreguard anyone saying anything is because because it leads to war (Such as religion), because it's not the cause to war really, It's a means to war. If religion wasn't there people would find other reasons to fight, probably not the same people as they are now because of religion, but there would still be wards from other means. That goes for land acquisition or resources or everything - there's always be a way for people in totality (no matter who they are) to have a massive contest to see who is 'better'.
So yeah, today the sun is shining and I'm feeling quite optimistic and everything and I think I've learned how to do these little posts because this random crap I've been talking about today is the ideal of what I wanted to come out of these posts. And it's only taken me 6 previous posts to figure it out. Wow, aren't I clever. I'll post a conclusion on my main blog about what I think came from this experiment and I'll get working on the video as soon as I have motivation to. So that's all the admin stuff covered. I'm in a decent mood to work on my stories today as well, I think I'll set myself a thousand word goal for the rest of today, because I know I can manage that - especially if I just write quickly and lack efficiency just like I do in these little posts. Okay then, ciao for now!
