Good Heavens

The question arises if it was like this in the 19th and 20th century. One doesn't even have to bother for the time before that. Just 19th and 20th century and shit would be resolved. We have seen what's up in 21st century, how things transpired in the 19th and 20th century is the deal. One can often become delusional with goals. World domination is the final goal for a man on a mission, even if it isn't actually. There was a time of black and white televisions but even before that shit used to happen. Yes, even in the times of black and white televisions. Does an angel speak in your ear? If it is so, it's a thing to be glad because then there is a hope. Though it does seem possible and even if it happens chances are that it's not an angel but technology. Novels don't write themsleves until they do, and since you have seen how the novels write themsleves you don't want them to write themsleves. Lovecraft's experiences with writing can both be a hint and a hope. Given how detrimental hope as been for you, you'd avoid the hope and focus on the hint. There are no miracles for the common man. There are no surprises. The common man goes to his job, if he is lucky, and comes back to his home, if he is lucky, eats, sleeps and the next day again goes to his job. He can wait for a miracle, but most the times what he actually gets is tragedy. There are little miracles but those are mostly baits. Where was the problem? The problem was science, when the truth is political science. Science can be truth too, but political science is more suitable and if it is political science, according to Murphy's law, it is sure to be turned into Machiavelian. There is hope because there is a scope that in the times of Jules Verne it was not like today, and it can be applied on Mary Shelly, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Poe and many others. Lovecraft and Conan Doyle do not offer hope in this sense but they do offer hope of truth, truth about whether it was like this in 19th and 20th century. Can God be with me? My kind of God would definitely be. But given how common man succumbs to his misery, God seems to be a far fetched idea.

The Great Experiment

Whenever I think I'm done with political writing I get ideas which I have to write down. It's since 2013 I have been exposed to the ...
