• The power of the mind

    From Daniel Urtiz@21:1/5 to All on Thu Dec 12 07:08:46 2019
    Twelve brief and non sequitar thoughts follow:

    i. I consider myself to in certain ways be more brave than I am physically strong, the likes to of which might itself stem from a kind of psychological strength as such.

    ii. I swear to God that I have never in my life sold any illicit substances at all, on the streets or anywhere else. I furthermore assert that I have only but once purchased a very small amount of marijuana, when I was a very young man, which I swear to
    God I never even once imbibed.

    iii. I do not enjoy being racially stereotyped. Except perhaps for a tendency to infrequently speak oddly on certain internet venues, I am basically a law abiding citizen of the United States.

    iv. I do not very much like country music, tending to find such kind of music to have an ambience of unpleasantly overdone American jingoism.

    v. I would typically find the punishment of mortal execution to be an overdone and fascist punishment for the simple “crime” of farting.

    vi. Although I consider my political views to perhaps be slightly right of center, I assert that I do not very much like the personality of Republican US President Donald John Trump.

    vii. I have faith in the auspices of the US Constitution’s right to freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

    viii. I might sometimes delude myself into thinking that I might be stubborn enough to perhaps have certain ultra conservative tendencies.

    ix. I suggest that my possible overall ugliness of appearance means that I should remain relatively passive, politically speaking, avoiding the public eye.

    x. I do not always believe in the importance of personal beauty, finding meaning in the metaphor of being “shallow”, a state of which is perhaps to be avoided in social discourse.

    xi. I conjecture that certain popular ideals of the world might eventually fade or fail the test of time. But I further assert that simple overall goodness of virtue might perhaps often be a “longer art”.

    xii. Based on my perhaps limited concept of such organizations, I do not often find the existence of anti-defamation leagues to be pleasant, the existence of which might impede open communication and even at times make the protected party seem to be a
    bit “wimpy”. I am mostly cognizant of three of such leagues, that of the Jews, the Arabs, and the Italians.
