On humanity and Facebooks… but… like… real quick, dude.

It should be pretty clear by now that I have no faith in humanity. Humans piss me off, society is stupid, and hell is other people. I have lived for 21 years and yet few are the ones who I have managed to keep (close or not) in my entourage because I believe they are the people who the future will want more of; they are the people I want to see in the media or in institutions around the world, telling others what to do.

First off you might have noticed that I added an ‘s’ to Facebook. This is a call on people saying the ‘internets’, but also because there are several community and social websites out there. But with Facebook, we really have started (notice STARTED) to exhibit people from under their rocks and now everybody’s using Facebook for everything; for friends, for work, for your family… and that’s the problem. What happens with so many people free to roam around expressing their bullshit, and having others blindly accepting their input without debate/correction/logic/thought. My parents want to add me on Facebook, but if I started explaining to them why “you can’t just add parents on Facebook, in fact nobody should” they’re gonna ask me “But why? I’m your mom!” and that will be exactly the point. Another point are the French people who think Facebook is MSN on a website. Dumbasses. And what can I say about people who ‘comment’ on your wall post instead of ACTUALLY posting on YOUR wall in order to reply?? Pssh, learn the fucking ways dude!

But I’m also talking about all those groups on Facebook and websites around it that parody Facebook. Lamebook, Failbook, groups about the stupidity of some people, the “Overheard at” groups where people post the wisdom of some of the earth’s dumbest people in their school, all these show that the stupid people are being exposed more and more. We are seeing more of what some of the pulp of our worldly society is made of.

And it’s fucking scary.

People don’t know how to spell anymore, if they don’t they also ignore the automatic corrector or whoever corrects them. What is to blame for this? Many things, but I don’t wanna talk about that. It’s maybe not their fault they’re stupid, but what I’m trying to get that is that they’re OUT THERE and they’re coming out!

There are two ways Facebook could end up in the future (amongst others of course but this is just vague speculation):

1-The stupid people are exposed, and more and more services become available to them (Facebook, Twitter etc) that enable them to express themselves casually everyday. In the end, the more services come up, the more people are gonna have access to these things and show off their stupidity. The smart people would have already moved on to either using Facebook occasionally, or they might have found their own community to express themselves amongst others, without the stupid people. This here already spreads into two branches; either these stupid people learn with time through the wisdom of the ACTUAL smart people that are on these websites, or they actually become dumber because they’re sharing their dumb shit with other dumb people and it becomes a loop and a repetition of Dumb on Dumber on Dumberer.

2-The stupid people are exposed, and more and more people realise this from these services and realise that they are becoming lamer and lamer. You already have communities like 4chan which is the asshole of the internet, but that’s good; it’s exclusive, there are inter-geeky conflicts within those websites, and that’s good because it doesn’t concern us or the everyday people or people who actually care about their lives. But if the stupid people get exposed on the internet like this, more people will learn from it and try not to do these things anymore and will try to learn. I don’t know which solution will work the best, but I sincerely hope this second one will. But, knowing humanity, and since I have no faith in it, we might be at the beginning of a plot twist typical of the 21^st century which touches deep into psychology, sociology, anthropology, technology, and many other logies.

What can we do? How can we ‘not dumb people’ come up with ways to expose this stupidity in order for people to learn from it? It’s scary because when you think these dumb people are exposed they’re gonna start nosing around and fuck shit up, it’s like the village idiot in the nuclear power plant (oh hey Homer), and even though the end would hopefully not be a nuclear holocaust, I just hope things are appropriately taken care of for these people; either you teach them or you ditch them, but make sure they are far from ‘Real’ society that makes the world go round.

Either there are more stupid people today, or there are more exposed stupid people out there today. Let’s just hope the concept of education is correct, and that people are generally smarter today than they used to be. But something tells me human will always be primitive and stupid compared to animals, no matter how much history, science, or math they learn, we will still be humans and suck at life.

I am soooo grateful to my teachers for having properly taught me English and the way things are, thank god I don’t believe ‘through’ and ‘threw’ are the same thing and finish everything with a lol or a haha.

BTW can you believe there actually is a DVD box in France for Christmas in a limited edition, it’s a collection of classic French comedies. The collection is called ‘LOL’. Thank you France for borrowing the dumb concept of the internets and Americans and blindly applying it to a marketing technique because “That’s what’s in at the moment, kids say LOL all the time”. Nice going you fucking idiots.

Teoman's Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

I would like to start by saying that I CAME UP WITH THE HIERARCHY OF NEEDS. At least, not THE hierarchy of needs, but what I call “my levels of establishments in life”.

Let me explain the situation.

I lived in France as a teen for seven years, and seven years of frustration and loops in time (no forward motion, just a circle of bullshit and boredom, repeated) got me thinking about several things back then that are the founding basics of what I believe in today.

I was always very frustrated with not getting what I wanted in France, especially from my parents (teens huh). We lived in the 17^th district, which is pretty damn good, especially us who were upper middle class people. We paid 2000 bucks a month for the rent. I don’t think you’d get such a small place for such a big price anywhere else in the world except in Russia and maybe Japan.

So as an upper middle class kid I had clothes, TV, a computer, the needs right. But for some reason, my parents kept on buying the crappy food brands I always hated. They would buy me cheap products, I remember being traumatized with a terrible terrible terrible brand called Leader Price. They sell virtually the same shit as brand name products, only cheaper financially and qualitatively. I remember myself telling them continuously to stop this massacre and get me REAL cookies, REAL juices, REAL shit. Instead all I got was Gravy Ways, M&N’s, Butterthumbs and Two Musketeers.

My whole family was even affected by my frustration, and that’s when we get to the juicy part.

My cousin, who is some close-minded, one-way-thinking, commie-embracing, no-to-money-but-I-still-have-a-job-and-a-rent-to-pay saying hypocritical person, like many French people, had her word to say on that;

“You have NO IDEA how lucky you are!! There are people in this world who would KILL to have Leader Price!! There are kids who would love to have what you have!”

Oh sure, you know, I had a computer, a TV, a bed, a house, but I’m LUCKY to eat Leader Price?? I feel luckier just searching for STDs on Google, on the computer that I HAVE, bitch! (I didn’t say that but that’s what I’m still thinking today). Isn’t that ironic, that we focused on living needs (such as our furniture) more than basic needs such as food in my house?

So I heard the same song many times, that I’m lucky this, that other people that, and my cousin even told me “some people don’t even have a BED!!”

So now we’re in business. I got really frustrated with all this bullshit, and it then came to me;

Some people don’t even have a bed. Sure, I’m very sorry for them, I am in fact very grateful for my bed, and my roof, but see the thing is I HAVE A FUCKING BED, THEY DON’T so IT’S NOT THE SAME THING!

You can’t compare me to some guy who is on a completely different level of living! You can’t compare me to people who don’t have houses cos I DO! Our needs are COMPLETELY different, even if the goal and motivation is the same, but it is NOT the same level!! Their future goal is to find a house, or a home, comfort. I already have all this, so wouldn’t it be logical for me to move on higher up in my ‘life goals’, such as oh I don’t know focusing on my FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL work, cos I go to school??? If I already have a bed and a house, isn’t it a given that I should get the food that comes with it appropriately, since that is on a basic level? Cos see… I also go to school! Betcha that dude without a bed doesn’t even have a school huh? Well I do, so IT’S NOT THE SAME THING! So stop fucking comparing elephants and airplanes! Get real, bitch!

And so that was the concept that I came up with on my own, because of annoying French people who just wanted to make a point but failed at it. This WILL be on the exam, kids, word for word!

Then later on, forward to last year, I expressed this frustration with my shrink, and she told me that this concept already existed Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. When she told me I felt so confirmed, so well-thought and so… right. It feels good to be right. I just wanted to swim back across the ocean, slap those bitches and say “HAH! IN YO FACE! I WAS RIGHT!!” And it’s even better for me since I never read books. I only learn from what I see, hear, and think, not what people tell me (whether it be oral or written). So coming up with a famous theory on my own is like re-inventing history (to some extent of course).

Imagine you were having fun with physics and came up with the theory of relativity all over again, all by yourself, without knowing? Wouldn’t you like that?

However, my idea was originally more of a ‘level of life goals’ than a pyramid or a hierarchy of need, something that makes you go on in life. First you start with a Bed, to sleep, because you can’t necessarily find a house. You need at least to find a place to sleep first. Then a place to live (a Roof), once you have that you gotta build up your inventory (Furniture) for basic living on both short-term and long-term bases. Once you have established comfort, a stable ‘HQ’ for you, you can go on with your other ‘life goals’ such as education, a job, or socialising.

As you move up you go up those levels, you go from a house to, say, a Car, or a Promotion, or Hi-Tech equipment, and depending on what you have already established in your life, in your levels, your next steps and levels are gonna alter depending on what you need next and what you have. All our needs are different though, so my theory is more of a concept, an Idea, rather then a theory, a categorisation, because Maslow also includes inner needs such as self-esteem or sexual accomplishments. But my idea is more of a ‘living life everyday’ thing rather than ‘establishing yourself as a person in life’, if you see the difference.

Plus I think more of a tree than a pyramid, because there are many branches you can choose once you have established one level for yourself. It’s like in RPGs where you pick a skill/specialty once and you can choose whether you wanna continue upgrading it or branch off to some new skill or specialty to learn.

I think it makes perfect sense, at least to me. I came up with it at 15-16 years old. If you were in my shoes, maybe you’d understand better why this all matters. But ooooooooooh well. What can you do when a spoilt white kid goes on a rampage? I’m still proud of myself, jerk!

Stationery rape

What do you do in the middle of the night when you got nothing to do but sit down, do whatever you want to your own detriment but maybe also to a smaller good? Your creativity is trapped in your brain and it wants to express itself somehow out of boredom. Your brain is not big enough to withhold these thoughts and yet here they are, jumping on an electronic piece of paper. Why typed, why not handwritten? Bah, I gave that up a while ago, I love writing though. The grip on the pen, the tip scratching across the paper's grain, the homogeneous and uniform blue color that oozes out, stays lustrous for a while yet remains firmly on the paper without overflowing or diffusing through the paper's fibers, thanks to a protective shiny coat on the paper, ah there are but few things as authentic as this.

But nowadays it's all blogs and vlogs. I'm definitely not a purist, I like electronic communication, it's faster and easier to express yourself without going through the whole 'physical' obstacle of transferring thoughts into a flick of the wrist just to write an "S", by typing at a faster speed than if writing, but at the same time writing something by hand is not the same thing as typing something on a screen. We're at an age where we live in a hybridity of old and new. Cars? Old. Hybrid cars? New. Paper and pen? Old. Electronic notes? New. See a pattern? More and more of our society, culture and work is "electrifying" itself (by loosely quoting Lenin), look at Phoenix University: First all-out online university. No building, no res, no food joint, just an online university. We are at a point in time where we are using a little bit of both. This IS the beginning of the 21st century. A hybridity of old and new, a sort of limbo before getting to the REAL future, the one everybody thinks would be made of flying cars and holographic Elvis Presley's.

I can see it even in my life, I'm taking one course online, and another still in real life. I'm predicting that within 10-20 years most if not all of our courses will be at least in some way or another electronic, whether it be online lectures, electronically submitted assignments only, or online readings rather than having to buy a book. There are advantages and disadvantages to this, but I'm not here for that. I encourage progress, and I'm letting the hippies and the powers that be decide which way we'll be going. I trust it will be a convenient and functional one.

Instead, I'd like to say that despite how much I love writing and curving those letters on a piece of paper, I quickly lose my train of thought, and it's hard for me to get a one hit wonder out of a piece of paper, I'm speaking of all the corrections, mistakes, and all the shit that you can just erase and re-type on a computer but that makes a mess on paper. I wish I could continue writing, but typing still stays more convenient for me. I still kinda fear I might lose my aesthetic and eventually my hands would become stiff when holding a pen.

But as we're moving on into the future, think of the way our times are changing, our habits along with it, and think of the future jokes and nostalgia you might have remembering the first color ink jet printers or the first time you watched a movie on DVD. Try to think of the things that instantly changed when you moved on from your "traditional" medium to an upgraded one (from paper to word processor, from home phone to smartphone, from vhs to blu ray, from 2Mb to 2Gb,) I sure do. And I'm gonna continue focusing on these little yet major changes that illustrate our culture, time and society. Because if you are aware of these changes, of these trends, of these events and notice how people react around it, you might prepare yourself better for the future, yet you might also be one of the last few who will remember our past and keep it in mind as we move ahead. Using the past efficiently for a smoother future, that should become one of the top 10 priorities of humanity along with the big Global Warming idea and the Consumerism fad.

And finally, I didn't mean for all this to sound like some dumb hippie moralistic lecture. I'm just saying, dude, don't be a bitch to your cell phone just cos it has 10 mega pixels and I-dunno-whats, do you really need all this? Serially, Blackberry this, iPhone that, application this, mine-is-bigger that, it's just tools. Remember that. Stop writing in some dirty-ass butchered up language, English muthafucka, do you speak it??

I'm not saying read a book, I'm not saying go to a museum, I'm just saying, don't be a bitch to technology! When I was your age, girls didn't have boobs, so we had to imagine them, we didn't have Google.

Sincerely.

PS. This blog is back on track yay huzzah yipeekayay. But I'm not gonna serve nobody here. This is a spontaneous dumpster where all my shitty thoughts will be expressed in a vacuum for whomever reads it on a boring shitty day. I dunno what will come up, but I'm done with regular postings and all. Enjoy, bitches!
