I was enjoying ethical coffee and freshly prepared food. ‘Wow this is great’, I said, to no one in particular. ‘it feels so good to be drinking all this ethical coffee and eating all this freshly prepared food.’ ‘It’s totally legendary,’ I said, full of my usual misplaced enthusiasm. ‘This is living, and no mistake…’
It’s nice to be a tool of the system, isn’t it? So nice to be a tool, so nice to be a tool. Everyone likes to be a tool, and can you blame them? Be a tool, my friend, be a tool. You know it makes sense. Tools don’t ask the reason why, do they? Indeed they don’t, to be sure they don’t. Tools do what they’re supposed to do, what they’re designed to do, what they’re bloody told to do, and that’s the beauty of it. That’s how to get things done, you see. That’s the only way to get things done.
I’m a bit of a sucker for stupid experiences, the same as us all. The same as anyone. That’s why I opted to be a human bean, after all! That’s why I opted. We all willingly opted into the human game and it’s good to remember this. It’s a bit rich for us to go around complaining about this thing and that thing, after all. Moaning from morning til night. Aren’t we responsible for it all ourselves? We’re trying to get away with just a bit too much here, in my humble opinion. We’re kind of taking the piss, when it comes down to it.
It’s all about making sure that you get the proper human experience though, isn’t it? The genuine human experience not some piece-of-shit fakery! Although to be honest more and more people are turning their attention to fake news, which I’m sure you have spotted for yourself by now. Humankind’s long and tortured love affair with fake realities has been well documented at this stage. It’s a full-scale retreat. Lots of top-notch research has been carried out. You always know exactly where you are with a fake reality, you see – a fake reality is always going to do exactly what you expected to do and there is reassurance in that. There’s powerful reassurance in that. When it’s reality you’re talking about then – as we all know – it’s a very different story. Very different indeed. With reality we can never be sure what it’s going to do next, and that kind of general unruliness can be a serious problem. Steps need to be taken, in other words. Legislation needs to be written and then passed into law. Not content with the way things are, we’ve created our own spurious lame-ass version of it and some would say this could be humankind’s greatest achievement.
Yes, on balance I think I would have to say that it’s great to be a tool. You get respect for that. You get plenty of respect. Respect and acceptance. People will nod their heads at you in the street, acknowledging the many sacrifices you have made. Your status as an actual genuine autonomous human being for one, and that’s rather a biggie wouldn’t you say? That’s a biggie for sure…
