I no longer have much time to update this place... I guess that's what happens when one is kept occupied by such things as a job.
We work more and more hours and for more and more years. In the UK alone, soon the retirement age will be pushed back up to somewhere like 70. Who the hell wants to be finally free from work when it's already time to die or watch your own body fall apart?
They say the new generations will be living longer, but can they actually predict how well these new generations will get to live past 50 years of age? Don't be fooled by the older people you see moving around today, these people had a completely different routine in general than the one now. Look, rather, at the rise in dementia, Alzeimer's, the back, joints, and overall health issues that arise before you even hit 30 because you're stuck all day, 5 days a week, in front of a screen - without even adding the extra amount of personal time spent in the same position. And let's not forget all the Frankenstein food we're now eating more and more, and whose impact is unknown in the long term.
The health Gestapo (Governments and media) tells you smoking is bad - oh my God, it could give you cancer and it is so bad it can make other people around you die, too - so you see utter MORONS with kids in the pram look down on the smoker standing next to them on the pavement as though the cigarette smoke was about to kill their offspring, yet they don't see the car fumes coming out at them 24/7. Sure, smoking is not good for one's health, but come on. If you're going to pretend to be health conscious stop being a freaking hypocrite and look around you: we already live in a hazard zone. Hell, you don't even know what it is you're eating. It could be flavoured plastic and you wouldn't know any better because, hey, the package says "real food, made from real animals".
But you know what? It's alright, we live in the best of worlds, don't we? Today's ideology sounds scarily similar to a modernised version of Leibniz's optimistic school of 'reason'.
