I barely need to explain it.

We know it’s true.

We ourselves know how cynical we have become.

So much so it scares us regularly.

You cannot be an intellectual and be happy.

Because being an intellectual is to concentrate on bad things.

And then analyse them to death.

Only to find their is no solution.

Given the fact human beings are totally backward emotionally.

The stupidest intellectual movements ignore this brute fact.

They pretend the rational logical agent of classical economics is real.

Perhaps he is real but perhaps he’s also a psychopath.

The Truth lies in accepting humanities backward state.

The gold lies in about knowing the everyday insanity of the daily work day.

There’s at base reason for partaking in it other than you have to obey prison rules.

I mean you’d be a fool to think the economy isn’t a giant open air prison.

But it’s more than that – it’s also a giant ponzi scheme.

You gotta keep adding serfs to the bottom layer.

And rely on advanced “third Reich PR” to hoodwink.

So if your not on the top tiers of the ponzi-prison scheme you may as well do this:

Be a modern day beatnik your whole life.

Get used to this:

Live in dives, drink in dives, think in dives.

Pouring beers in dives.

When young get used to boarding houses with hellish screams at four am.

When older simply choose your dive-dwellings more wisely.

Travel around the world to exciting new international dives.

Read books about ‘dive culture loving’ in dives.

I mean you could spend age 20-55 crawling out of your dive life –

But isn’t 35 years of prime life too much to pay?

You might only get 10 years of partial energy and another 5-10 of old age.

It’s a highly questionable gamble to attempt to crawl out of the bottom ponzi rungs.

You might think you’ve made it at 55 get a nasty divorce @ go insane from stress,

And find yourself back at the foothills of the ponzi pyramid again – having wasted decades for nothin’.

Nah I’m telling ya – if you were born in neo Dickensian straights just stay a beatnik.

Yes do wangle a form of ‘gentile poverty’ –

That’s the effort that’s worth it.

I mean if gentile poverty means low stress but getting by with a simple life – isn’t that where it’s at?

Sounds pretty good to me.

I mean the scammers winning in the scam are only pretending to have fun anyway.

It’s so clearly written on their gnarled faces.

And not written on the beatniks who have ambled along to gentile poverty status.

I mean look at the animals – they live in gentile poverty but don’t know any different,

And for the most part they’re reasonably content.

The animals are in tune & we ain’t.

Only a fool would deny that.

Sure they get literally chomped now & then –

But that’s what you sign up for by existing.

But you’re not supposed to be like the economy says –

& get chomped every day,

In 9-5 ubiquitous cubicle dystopias,

And be kept alive with a modern day Third Reich PR life support system based on fear.

I mean admit it – that’s totally F’d up false reality.

Only accepted because we were ‘born into this’…

So be a beatnik – unless of course you’re a generational ponzi slave master.

I’d be a fool to try to talk you out of that gig.

I’ll concentrate on the savable thanks.

And now this birds gotta fly.

Gentile poverty gloriously awaits me.

Sometime in the not to distant future..

Or do I have it now?

It’s impossible to know.
