I suspect this will be a long post. Haven't written in a while after all. The main theme for this post would be my view of humanity and my new approach to life.
You remember the scandal about that Singaporean MP's daughter's blogpost? Nevermind if you don't, here's a blog post about it, to fill you in on the details.
Anyway, that clearly shows the stupidity of the higher classes. Firstly, It's amazing how she criticises the poor dude on his English, yet aptly enough, she has no idea how to use capital letters. Not for names, not for the first letter of sentences. Smart kid. Secondly, I wonder if the girl knows that her dad is a member of PAP, a socialist party. She advocated for Darwinism so openly I wonder if she even knows anything about politics. Yet, happily enough, she dares touch on the topic of politics. Kids from Raffles Junior College aren't exactly very bright after all are they? The only thing she seems to be an elite at is making a fool of herself.
Well now for the best part, her dad defended her and her far right capitalist view. It's forgivable if the kid doesn't know PAP is a socialist party, but the dad? The person in the party himself? Genius. Absolute genius. And guess what? Wikipedia tells me her dad is from Raffle Institution, the top school in Singapore. Oh and Imperial College too. Top school, top univeristy. Not very smart though. Not bright at all. To top it all off, he wasn't fired or forced to resign, which allows me to conclude that Singaporeans have very different definition to "smart" than I do. Apparently everybody shared his views. The Socialist International should really revoke PAP's membership.
Fuck hypocrites.
I don't even know why there were so much debate about elitism after that incident. They don't look or sound very "elite" to me. Not the slightest bit. My dumbfuck mind can point out their stupidity in 2 seconds. If that's elite, I must be Einstein's reincarnation. Dumbfuckism would have been more appropriate. Since dumbfucks think they're superior.
Comes to show how society these days, are defined by the rich and powerful(not smart). They define what is "normal" and what is "elite". To paraphrase Gregory House "You see, skinny, socially privilege people, gets to draw this neat little circle, where everyone inside is normal. Everyone outside the circle should broken, beaten and reset, so that they can be brought into the circle. Failing that, they should be institutionalised. Or worse, pitied."
If you don't get where I'm coming from, read The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger and Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer. The latter is also a major motion picture now. Watch it if you don't want to read it.
All this has made me give up on humanity. Humanity is dominated by selfish, ignorant, power hungry, STUPID and egotistic people. And I see no way back for it. It is going downhill, and it is irreversible. I am now officially a misanthrope. But no, I am not going to commit suicide, instead, I am going to embrace HEDONISM.
So to all my hedonistic friends out there, I'm sure there are plenty, this is to you(and now me, too).

Wow man! Serious stuff going on...
Well to begin with, is your blog named after The Beatles song? If so, I love you.
I didn't hear about the Singaporean
MP's daughter's post, but she doesn't sound very intelligent. I can't stand when people argue that Darwin's theories should be applied to humanity. Sorry to point out the obvious, people, but we are not turtles! Anger issues...
Sorry. I'm just a leftie raised by Mr. Republican. Anyway---love the blog. Oh and to answer your question: LOVE Edie, but she's not exactly a role model for me :)
I would visit twice! Want to swap links?
And yeah, I like that the post titles are songs--mine are always songs too!
Don't feel bad about being the only guy to comment. That's usually how it is :)
