Tic Tac Stuff

 I sat and read through a news piece....talking over the Tic-Tac UFO-business and the Pentagon.

Here.

In simple terms, the Pentagon says they may NEVER come to any conclusion over the Tic-Tac UFOs.

Yep, no alien chatter....no ideas....no people from the future.....nothing.

Yeah, there is some Pentagon office to investigate things, but they seem to be at some limits of reality.

But taking all of this into consideration....if you did have President Biden in charge....maybe it's a positive thing that he's not the point guy to deal with this alien stuff.  You know, he'd start talking how he rode a flying saucer back in 1988 with Ted Kennedy, or that he dealt with people from the future when he was a pool life-guard back in 1962.   

Ten Humble Thoughts About Manifesto Writings

 1.  I've read around six manifesto pieces in my life, and generally....all of them have the problem of a writer who is marginally rational, sometimes severely irrational and probably not capable of living in society.

2.  The writers of manifesto documents....tend to want to fix/resolve world or society problems.  I'm not saying their vision or thoughts would work....just that they want a broke system to be fixed.

3.  Even a 3rd grader could probably sit and write a simple one-page manifesto.

4.  People seem to be attracted to commerce, political or society type manifestos.  You just don't see someone writing a manifesto over NBA rules, winter tires, or weight issues.

5.   When someone wants to protect you from reading a manifesto....they seem to have the thought that you can't handle the content or chosen topic.  Naturally, they have read it....meaning they can handle it.

6.  I get the sense (maybe I'm wrong) that more men write manifesto documents, than women.  Maybe women just walk out and skip this BS-gotta-write-a-manifesto, and just make change without a lot of chatter.

7.  There doesn't seem to be any value to writing a 7-page manifesto....to writing a 700-page manifesto....on the same subject material.  You'd think that readability would make a guy keep change ideas to just twenty pages max.

8.  Is the Bible a manifesto?  Well.....you might make the case that the Old Testament might fit into this way.  

9.  The problem in that two guys could write a manifesto each....on the same topic....equaling 700 pages each, and each come to a totally separate vision/problem?  Yeah, it's possible.

10.  The odds of a hundred folks being offered 'free' manifesto material, and 99 flat turn down the opportunity to read such a document?   Yeah, that is part of the sales problem of manifesto creation.

Just Thinking Out Loud

 I saw this quote off Twitter yesterday:

If sex is so much a part of your identity, you don't have much of an identity.

I pondered over it for a while.

You see this a good bit now....where people want to inform you of their 'landscape' and behavior.  They want you to know that they like weird stuff, and they seem  to want some reaction out of you.

But at the end of the day....once you say sex-stuff is THE critical part of your identity...in the rational sense, it doesn't really amount to much of value in terms of the identity.  

I'm not saying worthless, but you might as well base your identity on your IQ-level, your choice of car colors, your favorite mower, your best beer brand, or your favorite NCAA football team. 

I'll sit and predict that in ten years....at least 100,000 Americans will identify in some way as having a physical relationship with some imaginary non-existent friend.  And it'll be considered 'normal'.

About That manifesto Stuff

 I spent around 40 minutes last night....reading over the manifesto crap from this Nashville trans shooter...Audrey "Aiden" Hale.  If you remember, that was back in March.

For months, the manifesto has been 'locked-up' and forbidden from public release.  So it would appear that police members were peeved enough to just finally drag it out....photo-copy three pages of this....to hand over to social media folks.

My view of three pages?  Nutcase-material.

An adult (28)....college background.  Extremely racist in nature. Someone that probably bought into a fair amount of propaganda and brain-washing. 

City officials disturbed by the 3-page release?  Yeah, probably.  My question....the previous five years of Hale's life....what exactly was going  on and didn't anyone see this mental collapse underway?
