When is the conversation going to shift to a sense of personal responsibility? We are the idiots who vote for the people who have sold us out to an extent that is literally and absolutely unprecedented in human history. You f*****g geniuses wanna act like it's a joke? And you Democrats wanna act like it is about DEMOCRACY? You wanna know what I see? A society full to the brim with cowardice, weakness, inefficiency, and stupidity. We are so tolerant and so inclusive. These are not bad values, unless they are an excuse for laziness. And here is what we have: A system set up for catastrophic failure. A society full of nobody giving a s***. This IS your democracy. And you do not care.

I take it you struggle with reality.

Respond to the poll. Maybe your opinion will contribute to an answer. "I grew up on the moon, next to a neutron star in a stable orbit of 101 dalmatians. My planet is 1/8 the age of the universe, and I am 1/97th the age of my planet. By what clock am I 37 years old?"

An important problem in modern politics is the ability of Senators to find affordable housing in the months-long breaks they experience between not doing their jobs, and not doing anything whatsoever. Corn cob slats. A solution that befits the most distinguished and betwinkled body of do-gooders that has never existed in the history of humanity. Think about it! Narrow cots consisting of precisely sliced wedges of cobs of corn. What could be a more fitting mattress for our beloved Senators, while they take their time away from the job they never did in the first place? Our President doesn't want us to have housing. I say, forget Mar-A-Lago! Forget Capitol Hill. Forget whatever places these idiots traverse when they need a break from pretending to care about any of us. Corn cob slats. The perfect object for our Congress to rest. God knows they've earned it.

Say the Universe is 13.8 Billion Years old. You go on a trip. It's your 30th birthday.You depart from Earth. A Supermassive black hole courteously holds you in orbit for an indiscriminate period of time. You return safely to Earth, 25 years after leaving. How old are you? How old is the universe? Light is a constant. But light doesn't experience time. That's why light is a constant. Try again.

Great men, fully alive to the beauty of the contemplations to whose service their lives are devoted, desiring that others may share in their joys, persuade mankind to impart to the successive generations the mechanical knowledge without which it is impossible to cross the threshold. Dry pedants possess themselves of the privilege of instilling this knowledge: they forget that it is to serve but as a key to open the doors of the temple; though they spend their lives on the steps leading up to those sacred doors, they turn their backs upon the temple so resolutely that its very existence is forgotten, and the eager youth, who would press forward to be initiated to its domes and arches, is bidden to turn back and count the steps.

It is a fact that the present can never be observed by means of light-based observation. Light famously travels at a finite speed, meaning light must travel a measurable distance between the observed and the observer before observation can occur. I'm not arguing with you about that. It's a fact which any person with a basic level of intelligence would almost automatically understand. What's a little more difficult, but not by much, is understanding the implications of this simple, indisputable fact. The event horizon is present. Beyond it is the future, comprised of empty space. There is nothing mysterious about this phenomenon. Anyone with a basic sense of simple facts can understand it. You can't see the present. You can't, I can't, nobody can. Vision is necessarily a reflex towards the past. I don't need to argue with you. I don't need to have a conversation. I'm right, and you know I am.
