“...sense of futility that comes from doing anything merely to prove to yourself that you can do it: having a child, climbing a mountain, making some sexual conquest, committing suicide.
The marathon is a form of demonstrative suicide, suicide as advertising: it is running to show you are capable of getting every last drop of energy out of yourself, to prove it... to prove what? That you are capable of finishing. Graffiti carry the same message. They simply say: I’m so-and-so and I exist! They are free publicity for existence.
Do we continually have to prove to ourselves that we exist? A strange sign of weakness, harbinger of a new fanaticism for a faceless performance, endlessly self-evident.”― Jean Baudrillard, America

“Anarchists did not try to carry out genocide against the Armenians in Turkey; they did not deliberately starve millions of Ukrainians; they did not create a system of death camps to kill Jews, gypsies, and Slavs in Europe; they did not fire-bomb scores of large German and Japanese cities and drop nuclear bombs on two of them; they did not carry out a ‘Great Leap Forward’ that killed scores of millions of Chinese; they did not attempt to kill everybody with any appreciable education in Cambodia; they did not launch one aggressive war after another; they did not implement trade sanctions that killed perhaps 500,000 Iraqi children.
In debates between anarchists and statists, the burden of proof clearly should rest on those who place their trust in the state. Anarchy’s mayhem is wholly conjectural; the state’s mayhem is undeniably, factually horrendous.”

"Fresh, clean water cannot be taken for granted. And it is not — water is political, and litigious. Transporting water is impractical for both political and physical reasons, so buying up water rights did not make a lot of sense to me, unless I was pursuing a greater fool theory of investment — which was not my intention.
What became clear to me is that food is the way to invest in water. That is, grow food in water-rich areas and transport it for sale in water-poor areas. This is the method for redistributing water that is least contentious, and ultimately it can be profitable, which will ensure that this redistribution is sustainable.
A bottle of wine takes over 400 bottles of water to produce — the water embedded in food is what I found interesting."

- be nice or I wont let you have any $$ when your allowance endsmoldero
- yuri, that's a great description of your entire presence here. Well done boiling down all the makes up your being and your trollish methods into one rhymemonospaced
- its more like your presence here is like. "I got grammar but my intelligence is that of alabamar"... -monoyurimon
- Nope. Everyone would agree my intelligence is superior to yours as well. Grammar is just one of many, many, MANY indicators of that.monospaced
- But, nice little insult of my intelligence, which is obviously your ONLY retort when you've completely run out of anything else to say. Fucking pathetic.monospaced

- where is this coming from moldy? what old wounds have be brought to the surface?yurimon
- yeah moldy, what the fuck is wrong with you, clinically and emotionally, for you to say something like that? you must have an issue that isn't resolved.monospaced

- somehow i feel like yuri might be referring to himself here. how embarrassing he doesn't realize that it would be interpreted as self-aggrandizing and slightingsarahfailin
- usually people make these statements are in observation of society and how it handles certain types of ideas. ego as such may not be involved in saying this.yurimon

I'm sorry, yuri, don't take this the wrong way, but your "poem" as a response to John Oliver making fun of the Trump campaign is amazing:
its stale reaching content. sedation through stale bread with mushroom mold on it. like mothers with their pics of their children. a cult grasping for meaning for one more laugh as the world travels at 70 thousand miles per hour in space. a tribe desperate rain dance to make the rain. voodoo through a hollow soul grasping at an attempt to define themselves an bond in pointing the mirror away from themselves. deflection of the light of truth. one last laugh, one last injection of not paying attention, one last sedative. this the wheel of insanity turning and as long as you look at the screen you will never notice the world as it moves 70 thousand miles per hour. one more sedative of a ignorance as truth. it never gets old. hit the reply again and again
- thanks, if someone likes it, then its good.yurimon

Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.
