Two forty AM
Amusing, that if you tap your head against a wall, studies (such a nebulous term) indicate a loss of brain cells in the count region of tens of thousands.
It seems to me, logically, that one could tap one's head against a brick wall until, conceivably, one runs out of brain cells to lose. In which case, one could then argue, anti-thought might exist.
I propose that the opposite of thought is not, as popular belief has it, merely "lack of thought". It requires a very cultured breed of mind to generate anti-thought, which is a lack of thought so profoundly moronic that it actually moronicizes conventional thought. Thus, a truly brilliant idea, such as that which engineered the cheese omelette, may be subsequently moronicized by a flash of anti-thought, such as that which engineered the notion of ketchup on a cheese omelette.
I propose, therefore, that a portion of humanity has historically come up with a wealth of amazing, inventive and brilliant ideas, only to have them quashed into fabulous nonsense by the generation of anti-thought by a substantially larger portion of humanity. Evidence of the existence of these deformed, derailed, hijacked ideas may be found everywhere; a commonly cited example would be the necktie, which must have been a great invention at its conception, and must have been bastardized soon after, into the useless ersatz hangman's noose it is today; for, how else would one explain its sheer, utter uselessness?
Another example. Assuming the existence of a Creator, it took a brilliant, divine thought to create snails, but it took a masterfully moronic mind to think they were edible with garlic butter.
If anyone likes escargot: it is not my intention to label you all morons. You are but innocent, futile followers of that first pioneer of snail-eating anti-thought. I do not hold you responsible for your culinary transgressions.
I need to sleep. It was a brilliant idea to begin this blog, but anti-thought has kicked in about half-way, and this entry is now indelibly moronicized. I apologize.
