    It's not supposed to make sense. It's just one big blugh. Completely pointless.

    Awe, c'm'on, it's a lot worse than that, and you know it, don't just pretend. You make it sound neutral. It's a fecking disaster.

    You put your head in to the wind each morning and after that you take it as it comes.

    We live in a world that is evermore complex. In the past, our worlds were confined to our towns and villages. People worked in jobs where the sum of their output could be easily interpreted; nobody had to ask someone what a butcher or a baker did, it was obvious. Nowadays you can ask someone what they do and they hardly can answer the question.

    News media bombards us with information that before would have hardly featured to our grandparents.

    How do we make sense of this complexity? Are there archetypes that we can latch onto to allow us simplify the seemingly complex world we live in?

    How do we assist ourselves in ensuring that we are ahead of the curve and rather than merely let events happen to us, we have agency and a sense of perspective and context when events transpire.

    I'm always amazed at how some people just seem so tuned in and on top of things- They have(or at least they would lead you to believe) that they have the answers for every big and little thing that life throws up. Brexit, Covid, Climate change, markets, home refurbishment, cultural trends, music, etc. these people always seem to have a phrase handy to give their two cents. They're passionate pro-private enterprise, have strong opinions on direct provision, all the while being epidemiologists on the side. Seems bizarre to me.

    2021 is the year I want to feel like I have a handle on life and that I'm not just a passenger floating through it.




    "Complexity" ?


    Don't you see the extreme simplicity?


    Outside of staying alive, your function is to deliver happiness to a woman.


    END OF!.

    By not being an easily manipulated plebian glued to the media. Jesus just turn off the TV. Problem solved.

    Same could be said about social media.

    Its a big time waster and in a lot of cases is toxic.
