'It's time for man to become God'
ve been hung up on the idea that we live in a society were violence is supreme, and the closet thing to God is the sociopathic narcissus. But while society was focused on creating it’s own proxy God, Kayne West rose up and took over the world. Bet you weren’t expecting this little turn of events were you?

Before you start shaking your head in disgust, no this isn’t some little rant about a pop star from a delusional fan. I admit that I like a few of his songs and it’s impossible to not have heard about his egotistical antics but what actually caught my attention about him was when I heard a pod cast a few years ago about how he was the embodiment of Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy. He says and does what he wants without concern about what people think of him and people love him for it. Instead of people being jealous of his lack of self-restraint they admire him and worship him for it. Why?
Because the only pure thing about him is his ego. Normally the level of self-confidence that he displays would make people hate anyone but instead it only fuels his power and that is why he can be considered a proxy God.
He gives the impression that even without fans to listen to his music he would still go on completely unfazed. Which gets you thinking is that because he’s achieved immortality or would it just be the howling of an old dog. Like in anime ‘Black Lagoon’ the episode ‘Guerrillas in the jungle’ Takanaka tells the story of the man who stood preaching to people about revolution, and even after he grew old and everyone stopped listening to him he still kept on preaching because if he stopped and admitted his defeat his entire life would become a lie.

So is Kayne West really a proxy God? Or is this just a case of modernisation, move out of the way religion in this society were violence is supreme the only type of purity that can be worshiped is the pure ego. Or you can just check out the music video for his song ‘Power’ and then make your decision

Self-satisfaction
Damn it’s been a while since I made an actual post, well staying with tradition I’ll warn you first up if you have a weak constitution … wait make that any constitution at all just stop reading right now. What I say isn’t black and white, right or wrong socially acceptable crap it’s just my hazy grey controversial views of the world.

It’s not hard to tell from just listening to a single thing I say that I believe I’m superior to most people, most are probably scoffing ‘yeah you’re a typical narcissist’ well hate to break it to you but that’s far too simple of a label. Think people! Yes a narcissist is someone that believes they are superior to everyone else and they get great enjoyment from flaunting this. Ok ok I do this constantly and it’s beginning to sound like I’m just in denial. But what sets me apart from your typical narcissist is that I am completely open about what a flawed person I am, I know exactly what is wrong with me and I have no problems admitting it not only to myself but everyone else. I see people who believe they are superior but are just the same flawed slugs as everyone else and I can’t help but want to crush their delusions when they act like that. Just like I had previously discussed in one of my posts. People see their own flaws in others and subconsciously hate themselves for being weak which leads to them wanting to destroy any reminder of their hated self they want to live out their delusions clear from reality.

That being said it’s easy to assume I’m not the maternal type I don’t want children ever, and I make that constantly clear. I’m first to admit that I’m one of the furthest you could find from a suitable role model. While I’m comfortable with my own flaws I have absolutely no intention of deliberately corrupting another human being just for my own self-satisfactions. And because of this everyone says what a great mother I would be (it’s at times like this I have to wonder if I only associate with people that have some form of brain damage) their argument being that because I’m aware of myself I would make a better parent then those that believe they are wonderful parents while everyone else around them can see the reality, that in fact they are absolutely shocking parents.

Well I recently brought ‘Gunslinger Girl II Teatrino’ I’d seen the first series a while ago and I can’t say that it had the greatest impact on me. Surprising considering my constant talk about creating the perfect killer using the innocence of children. But it was the exact opposite with the second series. This series seemed to focus more on the actual depravity of adults rather then just the girls development almost like déjà vu of the episode ‘Blood Sport Fairy Tales’ from ‘Black Lagoon’ which prompted one of my disgusted with humanity posts last year. The episode where they revealed how Triela was initially found was about the trafficking of children for the purpose of creating ‘snuff films’ (if you don’t know what this is I have to say I envy your innocence and hope you can maintain it). It’s not hard to imagine that this is all real..
By the end of the series it was safe to say that like my contempt for dating and women my dislike of humanity in general had reached new levels. But more then anything it made me want to know how people can want to have children? The more I think about it the more I can only see their reasoning as a selfish excuse for self-satisfaction. I’m not straight out saying that no human possesses the ability to raise a child in a loving environment that’s not the entire issue here.

What I am saying is that it’s no different then when as a farmer you save an abandoned lamb raise it with love and affections then still once it’s old enough you send it away to be slaughtered, actually that’s probably less depraved. Why? Because it’s simple and devoid of humiliation. It doesn’t matter how much you love your child or you try to protect them it’s impossible to guarantee their safety, in reality this world thrives on entertainment that derives from humiliating violence. I’m not just talking about the extreme issues that were in the series but in general look at the increased bullying in schools, even online, just walking down the street can have consequences these days.
Does it seem like I’m over-reacting? Well think of it this way if a parent truly ‘loves’ their child they will know about the existence of the true world. You can’t tell me that in this day and age there are people out there so naive they don’t.
So why would anyone want to intentionally bring a child into this world knowing the facts? They think they can forever protect them? An even more pathetic and naive notion.

And honestly what’s being done about it?
I’ve said it before there is no justice system hence the rise of the vidual anti, but that still has no affect. These depravities are markets; they thrive on the fact that people can’t face reality. The majority of people ignore that this is happening because they are honestly not strong enough to face it.

But it’s not just that, that got me thinking also Pinocchio who was raised by Cristiano. In the series he says how desperate he was for a son that was why he saved Pinocchio
when he found him. But he had no idea how to raise a child so he just raised him in the image of himself and created a killer. Even giving him the name Pinocchio. Also ‘John Doe’ says that the reason he taught Pinocchio how to kill was because he wanted to have his legacy passed on. That’s the way that many parents function they want to have their memories live on it’s a form of self preservation, they know that they can’t achieve immortality so they take the next best step they have a child and raise it in their image. Simply put self-satisfaction.
As adults it’s suppose to be their responsibility to make clear well-informed decisions for their children who can’t. They make the choice to have the child and to raise it a certain way. It’s no good looking back after the child has grown up and become a corrupt adult that they realise ‘oh wait I think I did this wrong.’ It’s a human life for god’s sake, so why is it that people don’t think about the consequences and affects of their actions?
I understand that you could probably suggest that it’s a basic instinct to repopulate the earth that over-rides all rational thinking, but I still can’t understand how that instinct can be even greater then that of a parents desire to protect their child.

I know if what I’m suggesting was to become a reality then the human race would eventually die out. Well why not? It’s not like it would be the worst thing ever, humans are leading a path of self-destruction any way so why intentionally subject others to it. Maybe the bottom line is that the human race really is just selfish.

Half fell in love
I got this from 'The Onion'
http://www.theonion.com/content/news/bunch_of_phonies_mourn_j_d

'Bunch Of Phonies Mourn J.D. Salinger
JANUARY 28, 2010 | ISSUE 46•04
CORNISH, NH—In this big dramatic production that didn't do anyone any good (and was pretty embarrassing, really, if you think about it), thousands upon thousands of phonies across the country mourned the death of author J.D. Salinger, who was 91 years old for crying out loud. "He had a real impact on the literary world and on millions of readers," said hot-shot English professor David Clarke, who is just like the rest of them, and even works at one of those crumby schools that rich people send their kids to so they don't have to look at them for four years. "There will never be another voice like his." Which is exactly the lousy kind of goddamn thing that people say, because really it could mean lots of things, or nothing at all even, and it's just a perfect example of why you should never tell anybody anything.'

I think I fell half in love with the author of this

   Hungry Little Monsters
This is kinda a spin off from several of my pervious post it may come across as a little more confusing then normal, but for once not because I’m totally incoherent but just because I’m too lazy to add all the links.

In my last post I talked about the Kira Stand Alone Complex and in pervious posts I’ve talked about different ideas to do with the Death Note manga. So I couldn’t help but laugh (yes I laughed. Want to know why? Read on) when I read the news bulletin about ‘Death Note Down Under.’
Once again I went against my better judgement and went around the forums to see what people’s opinion of this was. It’s safe to say that I’m the type of person that takes self-destructive nature to a whole new level (psychological masochist). It all really played out just as I thought, as irritating as that was.
You have the people taking this serious to the extent were by they were disgusted by anyone that laughed at this, saying the consequences of what would have happened if these threats had been carried out made the idea of laughing at this appalling.
But suppose for a moment this was as I’ve suggested before a grab at attention and validation of their existence. The book is always found with the person receiving worldwide media coverage and recognition. Which is exactly what they wanted. People fear them, they are now a threat themselves, no longer bullied and pushed around they have achieved their superiority. So why would they even consider carrying it out they get the same results without having let their little monster lose to mess society up.

Then you have those people that are saying that it’s the otaku’s entire fault for letting this take over their reality and they are tarnishing the manga, it’s creator and fans. FOR ****’S SAKE! How simple minded are you? It’s not just the otaku’s fault, I’ve said it before, why is it that only the person who creates the Death Note responsible, honestly the people who react to this and create the mass hysteria are in the exact same boat they are the ones that believe this Death Note will kill them. So why is it that they are the victims? Why aren’t they just as delusional as the person writing the names down because they are equally encouraging and increasing the attention to the whole incident?

A while ago I posted the foreword for JTHM and in it Rob Schard talked about how we all have a little monster living inside us that needs to be fed and the way to feed that little monster is to act out violence in our mind because that way it will stay happily inside us rather then getting lose and feeding itself on people.
So with the exception of the murder in Belgium what if we consider this the way that these people are feeding their little monsters? What’s to say that they are actually going to act out these little scenarios? Isn’t it just a combination of the media and paranoid people blowing this all out of proportion?
Why is it one thing for someone to act out these murderous deeds in their mind but another thing when they write it down on paper?
Most would say that’s because it’s the first step to the little monster entering reality. The little monster is no longer satisfied with living out these acts of murder in the mind, it’s a part of a pattern. They may no longer be able to control their little monster. As time goes by it will need more to be satisfied until the only way for it to go back in it’s cage is to perform the act on a living being outside the mind.
But if that’s the case then why isn’t the media swarming famous horror directors?
I mentioned this in a previous post about horror films becoming more graphic and realistic and that the same fan’s that use to laugh at the absurdity of horror films 20 years ago are now walking out sickened with themselves. It’s all too real. But honestly have you ever seen an article questioning the directors or writers mental stability or suggesting sociopathic tendencies? No, so why is some one writing out a Death Note, but not actually acting it out any different? Why are they now the enemy, the mentally unstable sociopath that is just a match strike away from a full on explosion of absolute bloodshed?
We’re being told that it’s acceptable for artist’s to publicly feed their little monster’s but not for anyone else. Just imagine a famous artist created an exact replica of a Death Note and putting it in a gallery with the names of politicians listed in it, how many people would argue that was art? Or just laugh it off, maybe even cheer?

Ok now this is were we enter the part of the ultimate conspiracy, you thought that the suggestion that the moon walk was filmed in a studio in Nevada was outrageous well that is nothing compared to what I’m about to suggest to you here.

I was watching an episode of ‘NCIS’ the other night *gasp* OMG I actually watch commercial TV. I’ve become hooked on ‘NCIS’ and ‘Criminal Minds’ but ironically I learnt the hard way that I can’t watch either one of these shows alone. As it ends up with me walking around the empty house with a baseball bat and dog by my side checking every room freaked out I’m was going to be killed in my sleep.
Anyway in this episode there was a serial killer directly challenging Gibb’s and he was described as a narcissist, his obsession with creating a game to display his superiority to the law enforcers was what they considered his purpose. It reminded me a lot of Beyond Birthday, he directly challenged them for a proof of existence. But in the end they denied him of it all, they never released his identity to the media and he never received the recognition that he craved.
Just like in the Death Note novel it’s only possible for this to happen on a TV show or book. There is no way that there wouldn’t be some kind of leak or that speculations about the suspect wouldn’t be ramped on the Internet. Ultimately they will always get the recognition they crave, because the media is present.

Like I’ve been saying not just here but in other posts. Violence is the one act that will always gain recognition or in the case of the media sales and rating. So why is this? Right prepare to enter the ultimate conspiracy.

Purely for entertainments sake I suggested in my last post the idea that the baby boomers will be replaced as the major sector of the population by a mass of vidual anti’s that will play out the role of a proxy god a mass Kira. And why not? Honestly we all know the judicial system is just a facade controlled by money and politics in order to stop totally anarchy rising and give to a false sense of security.
Which bring forward my idea that society through the use of the media is really raising the ultimate serial killer? (Absurd enough statement?) Or in the words of the #1 (Afro Samurai Series) ‘it’s time for man to become god’.

Inspired by Ryuji from ‘Spiral’ I’ve talked many times about how humans have a subconscious desire for extinction because they are the top of the food chain. But there is another obvious desire present, the desire to become gods.
Lets take the media’s desire to tell people ‘THE TRUTH’ and split it into two possible reasoning’s innocence and narcism.
Humans are stupid enough to believe all the crap they are fed because realistically they are no different to pigs they just eat up what is put in front of them, they don’t think. Just like the pigs being fattened for slaughter they are being conditioned, raised to defy the gods to become a proxy god themselves.
To achieve this there are those influenced by innocence, these people desire to seek the truth like the ‘Laughing Man’ in GITS SAC they want to inform people of the fake judicial system in hope that the judicial system will work to change itself to support the people it is suppose to protect. A truly naive notion.

Where as the narcissists fraction have preconceived expectation they play the part of a puppet master like Kira and the way that his supporters are easily manipulated. Light chose Mirakami to carry out the murders in his place because he shared his ideals.
This faction of the media appeals to the basic instincts by giving recognition to people who perform horrific acts of violence. They portray the judicial system as incompetent, the villains and encourage people to create their own form of justice. They give people the impression that they are backed into a corner, knowing that like a cornered mouse they will attack, creating their own form of justice. People go out and buy a gun to protect their family’s, they have no faith in the police. It’s all one big elaborate play, the media gives people this idea that this is the only way to keep safe while at that same time removing just one more threat from the world.
This is all amplified with the addition of serial killers, you see it time and time again just like the battle between Light and L its an act of superiority. Serial killers leave notes taunting the police challenging them and making the public fear them. They want recognition of their superiority and the media plays this up, giving them what they want while at the same time further under mining the peoples view’s of judicial system.

So it appears to them that in the end there’s no one left to protect them, there is no god to answer their prayers, the people who supposedly have the power wont help so the only way to defy the laws of nature and break free from the acts of survival of the fittest is for the weak to mass as a proxy god.

Stand Alone Individual
By now there seriously should be no need to say this but it seems that I obviously should cover my a** so as per usual abandon all concepts of what you believe reality is, this is just the way that I’m seeing the world. Yes I have just entered that chaos phase of my life yet again were I’m sleep deprived and stressed beyond any remotely healthy level.

I think I’ve finally figured it out, I’m always saying to abandon the teachings of society and step outside the box to look at life from a different perspective, but just like I discovered with the concept of love I think that was a naive notion. Because I’ve come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as reality. I’ve been like a broken record complaining about the way that adults believe that they have to label everything and that because everything is given a clear distinction that individuality is compromised. I am always mixing my idea’s with fact and fiction I use fictional characters and apply them to today’s society in order to make clear what I’m trying to say. But what if I’ve been wrong this entire time? What if there is no such distinction between fact and fiction? I’ve been spending my nights watching the GITS SAC series again and consequently become hooked on the idea of the ‘Stand Alone Complex’ and how it’s present in today’s society, along with the notions of individuality.

Ok for those of you who haven’t seen the Ghost In The Shell series the idea behind the Stand Alone Complex is very similar to that of copycat murders. People act out their own version from an idea that is presented to them, like the way with homicide they try to replicate the initial serial killers M.O. this almost ties in with what I was saying in my post about the Death Note novel, were by they idolise someone and try to be just like them by copying their idol as much as possible. But in the case of a Stand Alone Complex the copycats are following a fictional character whose existence is not actually proven.

When Death Note was at the height of it’s popularity around the world the online news sites were riddled with stories about people carrying their own death notes threatening those that did them harm, this wasn’t just limited to children in schools but even entered the military at one stage with a solider reportedly carry his own death note. It really hit a new level of hysteria when it was reported that in Belgium a torso was found with a note attached reading ‘I am Kira’ (although the absurdity of the situation was proven by the miss spelling in the note).
I find it amazing the way that these fans are described as being out of touch reality when obviously their victims were equally delusional. Think about it the people affected by these incidences were actually paranoid enough that they believe that a book obviously made by another human being could hold the power of a shinigami and bring them death if their name was written in the book.
At one point the manga was banned in countries because of it’s content and the fear it caused. It was a naive thought that simply banning the publication would stop people from reading the books. It’s not hard to find it online and by banning the books it only fuels people’s curiosity to read it. Its basically playing up the popularity even further, left alone its possible to consider that the popularity wouldn’t haven’t reached such heights it would have just been treated like the majority of other manga outside Japan only having a cult status rather then extreme global recognition. But hey were would the fun have been if that were the case?

But I must say the most laughable point of this entire incident has to be the author and artist that created this serious. They created this series intended for a children’s audience, but instead it insights world wide hysteria I’m amazed at the fact that these seeming intelligent men thought that a series that debates the justification of murder would be suited for children. Yes children are more intelligent and informed then adults would like to think but honestly what ever happened to innocence? In the judicial system being under 16 means that they have no concept of what is right or wrong, their brains are still developing so this is their time to learn, to obtain distinctions, eat more of the apple (sorry, sorry couldn’t help myself I’m a broken record after all).
It’s arguably possible to consider that they’re teaching children the justification of murder. It’s just an entertaining thought but imagine this, that within the next 5 year a real life Kira could be developed with the baby boomers being replaced as the major sector of the population with a mass of vidual anti’s. Instead of as it was in the manga with Kira being a single person, it will be a large group of people acting as the proxy god of society, a real life Stand Alone Complex.
In the GITS SAC series with the assassination attempt of a politician there are what’s to be thought of as numerous copycats. There were people that associated with the Laughing Man’s declaration and decided to act upon it.
So what’s to say that by exposing children to the idea of killing criminals in order to create a better world wont produce the same result?

Once Togasa says that art imitates life so why can’t the reverse happen?
The whole occurrence of the Death Note phenomenon just proves that it’s possible. But it got me thinking further that it’s not just the idea with the stand-alone complex where this is present. Art is constantly imitated by life children read books, and watch TV wanting to be like their hero’s; but it’s not just limited to children. People say that children are like sponges absorbing everything around them so you should be careful what you say around them because they are likely to repeat everything. But honestly adults are no different, the sponge effect never lessen no matter the person’s age, the brain and body may be fully developed but an adult is still a sponge, its just what they absorb is entirely different to what a child would. A child is learning everything anew they are learning to grow, but so are adults they are learning to fit into society, what is accepted, how to try to create a sense of self. Now this got me thinking further, in order to develop and secure a sense of self the end result is ultimately a contradiction. It’s just like with the members of the ‘Individual Eleven’ that commit suicide.

So leading on from that thought I’ve suggested numerous times that our supposed reality is ruled by illusions. But then how is the individual developed? Isn’t everything just fluid, emotions, memories, physically, psychologically everything can be changed there is nothing absolute.

The idea’s in GITS were by everything can be manipulated. Prosthetics makes it easy to change ones appearance and gender, the use of the cyber brains mean that people memories can be easily manipulated by others and so on. But honestly is there really any difference to what life is like today? In both money and/or expertises is needed to carry out the manipulation but honestly the only difference between the world in GITS and the world we live in is all the technical computer technology. Its understandable to consider that everything in this world is fluid, a women can get a sex change to become a man or vice versus, plastic surgery means that people can manipulate there looks.
What about our memories? Those are not definite either there’s a reason why eye witness accounts generally don’t hold up in court, even when 5 people are shown the exact same thing, chances are that none of them will give the exact same report. Then you have the whole idea that emotions affect everything. You may see something then after some time if you are exposed to new experiences that have a direct connection with what you previously seen then you will look at the exact same situation differently, what you first looked at with contempt you may now look at with passion. It’s that easy to manipulate, then you have the cases were the memories following the concept of brain hacking are modified directly by another person. Come on people ever heard of brain washing?
There have been reports that confessions in murder cases have been developed by the person being told repeatedly that they committed that crime even though they may not have. The physical and mental exhaustion the person is being subjected to in conjunctions with being repeatedly told they performed the actions stresses the brain to the point where by they begin to believe that they did what they are being told ultimately creating the scenario in their head as a memory.

So looking at it from that perspective is there really anything in this world that is absolute? How is it possible to distinguish the individual? How is fact or fiction determined?

Ok so we have science and mathematics suppose they are the only truths, but they were created by humans they are only truths because we say that they are truths.
The tachikoma’s suggest that 0 for them is like death for human because it is absolute but what’s to say that 0 is final? We have negative figures after that; even with death there is the suggestion of reincarnation or heaven. Different religions and cultures have different beliefs in death, there’s nothing that says its all final or absolute. The soul or spirit can enter a cycle of reincarnation just like the body. The body can be used to support to numerous other life forms so really it’s just apart of a cycle itself. This is all dependant on peoples beliefs again therefore further enhancing my notion that life itself is fluid so how can we distinguish reality from illusion?

Right now back to the development of the individual and the security of the sense of self. If illusion and reality can’t be distinguished and everything can be easily manipulated, then isn’t the pursuit of individuality always going to be fruitless? I mentioned earlier that both adults and children are sponges just because the brain has finished developing doesn’t mean an adult doesn’t still absorb information that will influence them. So the further they go through life and the more information that they absorb the more they will be influence by everything around them. Therefore aren’t they ultimately taking on other peoples and things characteristics inturn getting further away from their goal of achieving individuality? Their originality of their self is being gradually decreased, along with their reality. Because the information they are absorbing is from everything they witness, reading books, watching TV, listening to the radio, these forms of media that whether they carry fictional or factual characters are influencing people just as I talked about before with the Death Note manga.

Ok if you’ve made it this far then just bare with yet another broken record moment for a minute. I’ve talked about if a person was isolated from societies standards not allowed to consume any of the apple of logic (as Salinger suggested with Teddy and Seymour) would it be possible that they could unlearn the illusionary difference? They wouldn’t hold expectation of sexes or anything. But if you were to take that one step further and entirely isolate it from the very beginning (theoretically only, because its impossible to actually do this) with absolutely no opportunity to absorb information would it then be possible that an individual would be created? And that something absolute would be developed?
