Shakespeare – Anton Martin Smith Writer

I’m convinced the whole reason for these soulless corp jobs is to steal your life energy and happiness in the easiest most reliable and sustainable way.

Think about it – you can’t kill a billion people and get away with it but you can half kill a billion people via a soulless Corp job and be touted as a genius and pushed to the top of the social hierarchy. There’s no way these performative Corp email jobs in a “bully rich environment” are “real” in the way everyone thinks.

There’s a metric in Philosophy where in order to see the intentions of whoever created the system in question – you look at the output of said system and then reverse engineer the intention from it.

So in Corp world the output is bad mental health , no choice of schedule working the lion share of your life in an unnatural environment and all to produce something no one really needs if they do need it the price is gouged and gated.

So reverse engineering the intentions is Misery, Slavery & deception/Extortion. That’s what’s happening in the Corp world everyday.

And how mad is it that all the parents pretend this isn’t happening – so their children are destined to be ‘lambs to the slaughter’. It’s called being born into ‘centuries old propaganda’. And under this doctrine we all tacitly and overtly agree that live has to be ‘bad’.

What a madhouse it is we all agree to live in (or should I say lock ourselves in).

Of course we all know why you just can’t so easily ‘leave the madhouse’ – after all id you act ‘sane’ inside a madhouse, you are looked at with sideward glances by the permanent residents, be they patients or indeed the madhouse’s’ staff.

If I were to casually read Shakespeare, Kierkegaard, Dickens and Newton inside The Madhouse they’d all agree that that’s why I’m definitely in the right place.

It’s all an Orwellian spirited attack on truth and reason – after all if no one knows what the truth is you can tell them absolutely anything and they’re believe it, and more importantly be moved by it.

I can only hope that sanity prevails – although when I read that sentence back it now seem naive in the extreme……

An national economy should have a ratio of ‘Barbarism to Civility’ –

Yes the “B.T.C” should be quoted in the same revered terms that “G.D.P” is.

A high ‘B.T.C ratio’ should be of great embarrassment to a nation.

In fact – far more so than a ‘Low G.D.P’ is.

For we can all agree that it is better to be poor but gracious,

Than a marauding, unthinking brute.

One day I hope to sit down at a cafe with newspaper in hand,

With the big front page headline booming:

“Barbarianism To Civility Ratio Crashes 27.7% : Spontaneous celebrations fill the streets everywhere!”

& when we open the next day’s paper perhaps we may see this updated report:

“Unfortunately due to the previous days ongoing unbridled celebrations that then turned into a melee –

There was caused a near instantaneous boom in the Barbarism to Civility ratio,

Resulting in a sudden reversal of fortunes,

Thus wiping out yesterdays very happy losses.”

Shakespeare in Titus wrote the line

“Thou art a Roman; be not barbarous”.

But yet he knew & we all know how barbarous the Romans were.

And since we are merely a scattered smoking remnant of the Roman Empire

Do we not today still deceive ourselves in exactly the same way?

We are indeed a well shaken cocktail of Barbarism & Civility.

But let us step towards the silver linings, away from our clouded & foggy minds.

Let’s give a Roman ‘Ave’ to the advent of the ‘Barbarism to Civility Ratio’, printed daily.

Sure I know it wont work, but as a late era Roman I have a love of empty platitudes,

Bold face lies, & abject pigheadedness,

& getting blindly drunk on highly-dubious-philosophic-alcoholic-elixirs.

It is the merely the Late-Era Roman way.
