Everyone says that they can think for themselves — neat,
huh?!…….and safe, too!
***
Something is a “serious issue” if the serious say that it
is! …….(How else do you think most of this crap got to be
serious in the first place?!)
***
Man’s collective intelligence runs off of AC current —
whether you like it or not. And please note — you’re perfectly
free to like it or not — that’s what AC, and choice are all
about!
***
Early in life, one man adopted an eight word aphorism
regarding how you should treat your fellow man. Later on he
shortened it to two: “Fuck it.”

***
The present intellectual interests of the collective is the
diving board from which overweight cows take their daily plunge.
***
It only counts individually to become intelligent when
you’re young since all of the collective believe they become so
as they age. Therefore you’ve got to somehow “mature-in-reverse”
— grow-up-backwards — or maybe just abandon calendars
altogether. One way you can always spot collective thought is
that it’s always thinking about hormones. * Thoughts that can
think about thinking are not standard issue on this planet. *
***
As long as you’re serious, civilized, dense, and one-sided,
you’ll forever dance with the ugly — and enjoy — EV-REE minute
of it!

know where they’re going who show the inclination to call out to
others: “Hey everybody — follow me!”

Fairy Tale: Amongst the herd, a cow who knew what was
really going on could just RUIN IT for everybody else!
…..One man got a degree in Philosophy so that his friends
would call him “Doctor” instead of cow.
…..Being laughed at is no fun — if you’re no more intelligent
than those doing the laughing.
***
The mind of the collective soon tells all individuals to
“mature.” It tells them that there is more to life than getting
laid, and being rebellious. The collective is always “mature.”
***
There’s no way to gauge real intelligence, except maybe by
silence — and even that doesn’t tell you much.
***

he felt, but after having become mildly famous for the word he
says he now no longer feels that way.

people will say — “What intha hell are you talking about?!!”
***
The hormonal infantry fight for power while their cerebral
generals explain that it’s all over principles.

personal problems believe they’re “on the right track”!……..
(to something-or-the-other)!
***
Ever notice that as old genes die they always tell younger
ones: “Don’t do as I did!” Ever notice that they always wait to
say this until they’re about to die? Ever wonder why?
***
Note To The Antsy: Any time you hear the silent voice of
collective intelligence saying in your direction: “Wait up! —
there’s no need to be thinking like that.” — press on!
***
The reason that hormones can’t think is that if they could

themselves…………(and we can’t have that)!
***
The herd promotes its own.
…(Remember that next time you try to flag a cab.)
***
When you’re dumb — I mean, when you’re of the level of the
collective’s intelligence — it is EXTREM-LEE hard not to be
serious. Historical Footnote: One reason men favor the notion
of a god is that it can make being serious a bit more tolerable,
in that they can blame their condition on him.
***
Through the many mental vicissitudes and philosophical
uncertainties that beset all men’s lives, one man held firm to one
approach that always served him well in such times: He would
simply — yet forcefully say: “I’m armed.”
***
Firm opinions: Day-old, week-old, month-old, hard bread.
***
Miscellaneous: One way to tell for sure is to just come
right out and ask a man: “Do you have any talent — or not?!”

one!” * And now — as required by law — today’s, “Statement Of
Fact, Re-said, Yet Again”: Life is nothing, if not fair.”ù

screen to hide that godawful point-blank wall.
***
A man with no allegiances can feel the same about everybody.
Cows find great favor with genetic and institutionalized
fraternity, no matter how crude or regressive. What else have
they?! A man with no automatic allegiances can feel the same
about everybody, & never think of them.
***
War News: It’s easier to be sane
With a standard issue brain.
***
When a particular truism of collective thinking ceases to
make sense to men, the neural network will bend men to reshape
and make sense to the truism. The mind’s idea of “recycling” is
but a weak imitation of a self-fueling system’s standard of one
hundred percent efficiency. …(Although this can’t possibly be
so — nevertheless! — fuck it! — there it is.)
* It comes and it goes,
The truth of the brain;
Arrives then departs,
Like a hellbent train. *
How else, Finite-Passenger, do you expect to ever get anywhere
locally without staying forever on-the-move?

“REAL Angry!”
***
Part of the safety and comfort features of the collective’s
condo are that the herds forced to live therein are made to
believe that escape therefrom would either be totally
meaningless, or else much more significant than could ever be
possible. * A fish who rode the watery elevators up-and-down,
up-and-down, up-and-down, finally said: “No wonder it’s so hard
to get outta here!” *
***
WithOUT grinding your ax you’ll soon have no ax to grind.
***
In the city it is unlikely you can say anything about the

***
Other than maybe for somebody standing on your foot — all
criticism of life is DUMB! …(And even in my example, you can
push the person off without saying anything or thinking about
them.)
***
Those who can’t see — tend to see god.
***
When collective intelligence seems momentarily threatened by
real intelligence, it will often respond by solicitously saying
to the individual involved: “Here now! — let me get a boy to
carry those to the car for you.”

offers to “be your friend” — AIN’T, and CAIN’T be “your friend.”
