Today I went to this conference about strategies of conservationist
science. I started talking about things that made everyone nod, but when
I got to advocating wiping out most of the human race there was MUCH
sneering and gnashing of teeth. I wonder why? So I had to sit there and
listen to folks talk about what portions of the globe is most important
to save the ecosystems of, and whenever anyone brought up curing the
problem instead of the symptoms they were shot down because this is a
COSMETIC science dammit, we're not interested in the real problem, that
isn't our job, we're Conservationist Biologists, we want solutions
without really comprehending the problem to problems caused by people
wanting solutions to problems the roots of which they do not understand
and we want them NOW, dammit. We have enough problems with apathy in this
country, we don't need nihilists like you deriding our cause! You gotta
believe in SOMEthing after all, or where would you be? And they went on
and on about very interesting and valid-sounding arguments that were
based on ridiculous premises and I wanted to shout ALL YOU ARE SAYING IS
HOT AIR but when I tried that a few minutes before I was told I belonged
in an asylum. Sit look at the maps, listen to what he's saying but don't
listen but listen because he's going to ask you an intrusive question in
a second... But when I got out I was LEAPING with exuberance with Slack
coming out of my EARS! I wanna go back! Strap me to the pink chair and
shove a TV down my gullet and make me respond intelligently or be
crucified ALL YOU WANT, just as long as it gives me SLACK! Fuck this
rewardian shit, I'm gonna go get a terrible job in the service sector!
I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT IT WORKS!
Maybe it was knowing I was right plus knowing THEY KNEW I was right but
would never admit it in their WILDEST NIGHTMARES, which meant I was
spiritually superior, which MADE me spiritually superior till I was
zappin' walls and runnin' like a baseball superhero in a SEA OF MAGIC
ORGONE LIGHT! HALLELUJIAH!
They may be PINK, but their LIFE FORCE IS GREEN!
