My Answer: _____ is where the everything is

 It's about preoccupation, isn't it? 

Your needs and wants, decisions about those...

Do we think about the things we do automatically? 

Breathing. Moving about in routine. Swallowing. 

Dishes to be cleaned

Food to be gathered

Fitting in with the social structures

preoccupation with decisions

Don't stop and think about how things really work

that's for smarter people, the smart people say

Very few facts, so much hypothesis 

Follow the beliefs put in front of you

for your own good, they say

We all see the same things, many argue. 

Do we? 

 I have a serious question

What does nothing look like? 

Distinct but out of place gibberish as if it is my way of doing things...

 There is an art to being a lonely curmudgeon, or the crazy old recluse who lives in the forest. 

Lots of bridges to burn before you realize it. 

It's a state of mind. 

If you do things correctly, you can be left alone even in a crowded room. 

Just say things like " I like several people that don't like me at all." 

The Easily Manipulable

Maybe it's time for each man to look into the "becoming an island unto himself"  thing...

Testimonial

"It worked for me"  

-unknown blogger and social media connoisseur 

Long Live The Machine...

 The wheels of the machine churn

an opinion here, 

a law there...

and the herd is moved to and fro

the layers of consequence

good to some, bad to others

have all been considered

and they go far deeper

and darker

than the sensibilities of most

will allow them to consider

The Machine is awe inspiring

 when it isn't sickening

Some would mistakenly call it

shortsighted

 The Machine is

vast

Is it

everything? 

The Illusion of Allusion and Vice Versa, DoubleSpake

 The rules of Court Jester-ship are simple. 

If you speak too much to certain truths, 

you have to then speak gibberish and make childish remarks 

to ensure you don't develop too much credibility, and 

draw the ire of The King.

Current State of Mind

 Voodoo dolls. 

There must be several in operation at once. 

Understood. 

I had it coming. 

Onion is my favorite food group. Part 1

 Woke up today with waaaayyyy too much energy.

Restless, talkative me is not my best me. 

Took years of bad experiences to catch on to that.

This could easily turn into a stream of consciousness post. 

We could discuss the rampant Hermeticism that goes on the world. 

It hides under the terms ACCEPTED WISDOM, and SOCIAL ENGINEERING.  

If enough people believe something is true, it becomes "true".

You are bombarded by it everywhere.

 Radio, TV, Movies, Computer screens, Billboards, newspapers, magazines, books, classrooms, etc...then it becomes gossip, and circulates until it is culturally accepted as fact. 

Many different agendas manipulate science, education, politics,religion, music and entertainment so much, I doubt there is any original thought out there. We only know what was planted in our heads. Our parents only knew what was planted in theirs. Everyone thinks they are right, and the other guy is wrong. 

I propose we are all wrong, by design. 

I would call this the end of the discussion, but I think I missed the point. 

Some would call this use of media and such as lobbying to get what you want by changing laws by changing peoples minds. 

It's so much more than that.
