Pearl Jam, again, unwillingly abused of their rights.
But it is more than that.
It is more than a political statement, a rock band, a concert, a show, a lyric...it is intellectually more than that.
Totalitarianism lives beyond the constructs of Orwellian prose, it lives beyond the vastness of theoretical governance, and it lives in our homes. It is forced there. It is placed incongruently to our rights, and we bid it hello in the morning, we bid it goodnight in the evening, and we bid it good day...we watch as it converts our lives. But we don't realize.
Whatever your words may be, let them be spoken. Deal with the consequences as they come, but stiffle not your thoughts and your will.

I have attempted to establish a repository for two main things that I hold dear - thoughts and events. It might seem bland, to say that this will be where I record some of what I concede in ways of cognitive insights and summaries of events and experiences, but trust me that in the boundary of selflessness, I will try to make it an exciting read. If at very least a read that you dont feel like moments were stolen from you. Journalism is not a forte, just a way.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

"We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further."

There are several sources of anti-intellectualism. Religion is an obvious one, of course, since being intelligent and learning makes one less likely to accept arguments from authority, and to question unproven assertions. An intelligent, learned man has no need for religion - therefore, we don’t want any intelligent, learned men

Getting to Know Me...
Those who profess to favor freedom, yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.
Frederick Douglass, American Abolitionist, Letter to an associate, 1849
