Prefacing the Saga

For those of you who haven't had your entire perspective concerning society - concerning modernism - concerning the world - poisoned and wrecked by the barrage of bad decisions and mediocre leaders, let me tell you one thing that I've slowly discovered over the years:

Misanthropy is a long process that eventually becomes very tiresome and very exhausting.

I guess that's not necessarily true - not for all misanthropy, anyway - but I like to think of myself as a cutting-edge foundation for a new breed of smarter and more reflective sort of misanthropy. Intrinsically, then, tiresomeness and exhaustion are tethered to the equation and so, even when intending to describe a brief problem or to outline a simple solution, everything becomes a saga.

3 : a long detailed account

From what you've read thus far - both in this entry and in its predecessors - you've probably deduced that a guy like me hates everything about everything in a world like this; for all intensive purposes, you're not far off. But because thoughtfulness is so important to me, simple hate - hate that's destructive and infantile - just isn't included in my circuitry.

I'm idealistic with my destructiveness: I dream about destroying it all, but I immediately inherit the burden of imagining how to rebuild it so that it's better and less toxic. So now you see my dilemma.

Over the coming weeks, I'm going to begin a journey of diagnosis and evaluation - of creation and rebirth - and I'm going to attempt to create a narrative that simplifies and waters down the evolution of the world from what it once was to what it is today. My goal is twofold: From a standpoint of sheer greed, I'd like to recreate how society's evolved for the sake of personal understanding; more generously, however, my goal is to pinpoint what exactly Humanity v2.0 should do differently once they're grown organically from an uninhabited ball of soil and fog.

So I encourage you all to read onwards: I'd like to imagine that our journey will be refreshing for our souls.
