Alright
just finished Grant Morrison's Supergods
it's an insanely detailed analysis of the comics medium/autobiography/comparison between art and culture/drug induced ramblings
he mentions an idea that culture alternates between optimistic hippie give peace a chance/antagonistic rebellious punk over a period of time, among other things
it's got some random, weirdass, bullshit that really didn't need to be said, but above all other things, the entire thing is interesting, if just to see him talk about the importance of fiction and myth in our lives, and how he became how he is now
of course, he can't resist talking about the real life superheroes, including Phoenix Jones, which is questionable
talks about how we're all super with the machines in our lives
but, this is what I want to talk about, not comics
the capability of man for good and evil, the JFKs, the Gandhis, the MLKs, the Thatchers, the Reagans, the terrorists
the idea that good always wins, even if the war doesn't end
that we can all become better, all redeemed over time
that the heroes in our lives are real, that our ideas show our future
I don't know, i just thought it was interesting and worth talking about

there isn't a generation without doctors or policemen
and that eventually, with every single bad thing threatening us, we will overcome or adapt
so even if life doesn't remain how it is now, it will go on, and we will continue to be, and defeat those that would commit atrocities, among other things
way to fucking go guys, this was supposed to be an optimistic thread
Always a good strategy.

I do not know what to think
is a supergod to a god what an ubermensch is to a man

You can either take the view that so many people are horrible and do such bad things and only care about themselves and isn't life so awful
Or
You can take the view that plenty of people are good and compassionate and caring people who do right by those around them simply because it is just that, the right thing to do.
And I think it is better to take the second because while crushing despair and nihilism gets you girls when you are fourteen, it's not exactly a good way to live your life.
just a thought
oh?
oh?

Nice going.
