Humour as consciousness existence-creation
June 27th 2007 11:36
Let this be a warning to tlcorbin-raginravensview and whoever else has been accidentally tricked by their mind into reading this: It's not going to make any more sense than the title.
When something comes into existence there is a bit of joy. This is obvious in our romantic notions of happiness in when a child is born, for example.
Now I diverge from that question to purse a side track which has come up in my usage of childish language. the language used by children is the newest language out there. It's cutting edge. It's pure. It is very uninfluenced by general trends in fashion, technology, science, religion, anthropoloy, etiquette, art history and philosophy, schoolyard politics, political schoolyards, or philosophical playgrounds. It's new, it's original, it's cutting edge, you have got to check this out because it is fresh, a fresh thought over here everybody, come crow around, don't be shy. What? Ok some of you might not like it, but its new, you can't get this shit anywhere else. You get my point? it's starts to sound like a guy selling something quite obviously, and you have since learned not to be convinced by that. No, corporate media, what is more rightly called the culture industry, bores you now. It is passe, its old, that's not worth my thoughts, my time, I've got more pressing questions in mind for my own mind thankyou very much. I've got values, I believe in a cause you know, I donate to lots of charities and stuff, and once i signed a petition about black refugees with sinking boats or something like that. That one became totally see through pretty quickly didn't it. All you people watching oprah, its over, we see through you and you don't even see yourselves. So then we turn our attention to the present tone at hand. If you had been following and thinking along with me then stop right now. If you had seen through me from the start, you weren't going to have any experience. But those who are playing along, I can permit you to no longer. Become self conscious right this minute. I am not selling you anything, I'm telling you to become conscious, I am not making any choices for you, I am urging you to make a choice. If you are in the state of non-choosing and someone makes you enter the world of the choosing they are not influencing your choices they are inviting you to choose. You weren't going to make a choice, there is no point in time where you have to make a choice between choosing or abstaining from choosing because that would be a choice, so you see I am not trying to influence your choice I am trying to give you one. Lay down your weapons, you will see that I'm unarmed. No need to protect yourself from me, I shall not fight. I encourage you only to open your eyes. Open your eyes, trust me. You can, you don't have to deny anything. You don't have to protect yourself. You don't have to filter yourself, you don't have to decide about what you think and what you do, you only have to decide about how the world will be. You know that the decisions of your day to day life are not the real decisions, you are not focussing on the real issues, but they become important at the time. I'm saying, don't struggle with the web you are tangled within. Trust me, don't struggle with it. I'm trying to be careful with you because i know that you are just a little frightened bug, twitching, nervous, jumpy. What's this guy's idea? What do I want with it? Am I skeptical of this guy? Dont's struggle with the web, just open your eyes. You won't die. I promise. Just open your eyes and you will know where you are. >But you don't want to open your eyes<. >you are scared that if you stop struggling long enough to open your eyes, the spider will eat you<. >You must not give up the struggle, don't surrender your ideas<. I'm not asking you to surrender anything, I just want you to open your eyes.
I don't know about anyone else, but that's the voice I hear the most of in my head. Open your eyes. Check this out. Isn't this interesting? isn't this beautiful? How does this work? How does this work? what happens if you press that? THAT MY FRIENDS IS CALLED FUN. some people stop having fun. They discover more pressing issues. Namely the question: what is going to happen?
This is the main rivalry structure in the cruel and brutal evolutionary environment of ideas. These are the two driving factors:
What's this?
Vs.
What's going to happen?
But they are not so distinct as rivals as we imagine them in biological evolution, its not a fight for survival, and its not a lion chasing a gazelle or any shit like that, just have a look and you'll see. Just open your eyes.
The question what's this is fun, it's enjoyable, it occupies the mind of a child like there's no tomorrow. Everybody crowd around, someone over here is laughing. what's he laughing about? hahahaha.
The question what will happen is serious, its important, this concerns your very future son.
Important people speak in a heirarchical way, they speak up to their betters or superiors, and they speak down to their inferiors, they speak across to their peers, but even in a peer group some may speak down to others, for they do not reallt see it as a peer group, they see it as a rivalry.
I tell you right now, don't side with them, definitely don't fight with them, but trust me, don't hang out with the fighters, they think everything is about fighting, they're so causght up in it that they..... If you had an infinitely high ladder, people would, given enough time, situate themselves at different levels of it. I'm talking about an actual ladder. 1 person per rung, but it's infinitely large so there is enough room for everyone. What have you got? Well at ground level its just got to be complete and utter chaos, people everywhere, people piling on top of eachother, poor people, the elderly, the sick, they're all in a mad crush at the very bottom, a few dirty scraggly looking young men are muscling their way up through the mountain of people. Alright shit, I'll get back to you, that just became the topic of story I'm about to write. But I'm sure you can imagine where it goes. the higher up you go you start to see rich people pulling a lot of power with other people in order to help themselves up, then you just got some guy who owns like the next 100 rungs, and you just keep going up and people get more and more technology, and then there starts to be groups of people working together with the same technology, then as you go up there will be more and more people with the same technology working together, then it will be all that technology can allow on any one rung, until they have to start fighting amongst themselves, then its the same ruble again eventually, until you go heigher and higher still and you see 1 guy floting up out of the rubble with a new technology, and there's so much room up there, so he gets his friends to come join him, and they chill out and stuff and the fold grows bigger, and then they become conscious of the impending struggle, and the story continues. And then at the end of the movie it zooms out and you see the whole thing with the more and more enlightened at the top, and theyou get further down to corporate dudes, and middle managemet, social climbers, strugglers, battlers, all those trying not to drown under a drak sea of bodies, those given up at the base, lifeless, no stuggle left in them. It's like a huge mountain of bodies, until its just a line which is the ladders, and then its a line for a while, and then it starts to take irregular shapes and shit. and then, sitting on the ground, in the green grass, in the beautiful summer sunn, with colourful flowers and butterflies flying around and all that shit. If I could draw I would make it a cartoon. I might have to do it as a claymation. Most probably it will be easiest to make it with flash. But I'd have to learn flash first. Perhaps. Anyways I'm definitely not going to write it because I started and then I was prompted to write something here.
Well I have to stop writing this, but I'm sorry I didn't answer my original question as to why laughter is realy consciousness coming in and out of existence and the associated joy of creation. But I promise I will on my next post, without any sidetracking.

I was a Kindergarten teacher for years and agree with the creative nature of child thought and speak. I am amazed at the lengths people go to avoid fun, laughter, and wonder. This was a very entertaining post!
