Weird

It’s weird that people in writing turn out better, smarter, nobler, etc. than in reality.

Black hole

After a night of heavy drinking, I always get a memory black hole, not being able to remember parts of the previous evening. It’s too bad that the courts don’t accept this excuse.

Safe distance

Man, in order to feel good, has to keep a safe distance from others. That’s why I live here, in the US.

Pig

Man feels pleasure when excreting and when eating. In short, self-righteous pig.

Know-it-all

Man who knows everything doesn’t exist. However, there are plenty of people who pretend to do so.

Revelation

Man is in his most natural state when he’s alone. All true revelations came to us when we were alone. When we have company, we’re preoccupied with other things.

Chomsky

Chomsky has a role in American foreign policy to show everyone how America is a free country. If not, he would have been shot a long time ago.

I’ve read somewhere that there is research in the US on the artificial prolonging of human lives, thus conquering the phenomenon of death. Aside from the fact that the whole concept is impossible, highly unnatural, and immoral, one shouldn’t be surprised a bit: there are other highly unnatural and immoral things that came from the US before.

Local-Global

The simple fact that there are so many different languages implies that humans are a local, not a global phenomenon.

Cynicism

Cynicism is when we insist upon our opinion, even after we realize that we got it all wrong. Or, better yet – pure sadism.
