On Drama

What's up with all this drama? I live in the most melodramatic states of the most melodramatic country in the world.

Why do so many people get caught up into this crazed reality of movies, fashion, and caffeinated beverages with 10 spoons of sugar in it doped with phenylalanine?

Is this insanity personified?

What's the appropriate response to all this in your mind?

Yes, the next thought in my mind is an addiction, by association.

Why is stimulation so addicting?

It sounds like you're reaching escape velocity( in the information theory and simulated worlds thread at least).

Haha, my own addiction feeds on itself, as you can see...

Is this just a simple matter of death anxiety?

The planet will self-destruct in five hours!!

Bolshevik Partizans are about to take over Linconl, Nebraska!

Polar-bear invasion!

The Great Dipper is precisely in a spot, where the North Star won't be in 200 thousand years!

If you are thinking of buying a house in Seattle, this is the time!!

Don't worry! Be happy! ( this is really scary.)

It is fucking scary. (denial)
Look, take it easy, I think you are pushing yourself too hard (projecting).
But, the sun is still shining, we're advocating philosophy, and emotions are real! (A)(B)(C)

Yeah, true. But I am smartin' where the sun don't shine.

This is a shining example of the force of darkness.

And the winner of this years Golden Drama award goes to the only true being in this lonely universe, Wallows, who stands in the center of it all, owner of the last remaining soul of Libertarian Free Will.

The rest of us are merely the detached seeds of the tree of life: vegetal parts blown by circumstance.
