A really nice group of people (of all forms and species) in here....

We might be virtual strangers but it seems many here found the experience of uncovering the hidden deeply exhilarating... rattling, confusing (maybe because of our BS meters hitting the red alot!) - but there is a slight downside then in looking back at the insane, fake, 'world of news' out there. So cloaked and full of expert spin. Good that you can switch that off too.

Then I get frustrated sometimes with PC interviews. Opinions taken as gospel. Not that 'facts' are absolute, in this world! I get through the expected lack of rigour in these moments, and see if there is worth in whatever the person has to say.

Even if I feel something does stink somewhat, there might be a nugget amongst the manure. If the BS meter still hits the red, I ask myself why and look a bit deeper. It might be that the interview is cobbled by strongly held but unquestioned opinions. Sometimes it seems to be just more fear mongering, with a softer finish (love and light). If I proclaimed I knew the inner workings of The Jump Room, but we scum are all doomed, and you interviewed me, why should you just believe every outrageous thing I told you? I would expect to be quizzed, squizzed and fact-checked...

But this too is getting to the point where I think it might even be pointless, and no longer gives me any thrill to hear some of the loudest drum beaters. Maybe I will be surprised, yet? It's like waiting for the amazing dream ufo to appear... in the meantime there are fun things I could be doing, like seeing good movies, eating nice food, travelling, laughing, dreaming, creating, sexing, whatnot. Can I do this in the ufo, too?

Maybe you can only be made so 'aware' from filtering what you see/hear through a computer screen and speaker. There is a good old tidbit about real learning only coming the hard way.

When the out there really arrives, I'd like to have lived, but not have wasted years of my puny earth time speculating about the flipping weather.
