So why do i feel estranged from people despite living socialising and interacting with them?
The main basis of this is simplicity. The best example of this is clubbing, why do i hate clubbing? Because it is based on maximising the odds of simplistic unattractive guys to "pull" attractive women. The whole set-up from the dark area to the loud music and alcohol are set to drown out thought and any chance of a conversation that might reveal a personality or a persons true self. To be replaced with the person whom with dance moves or simplistic "ass grabbing" then becomes the alpha male and attractive.
Do people especially women realise this? Do they realise that dj's are playing songs about the degradation of women? Do they realise that the onus is on the girl to dress provocatively to have guys pick them up? Do they realise that these guys while able to leer very well will not add anything to their life?
On the flipside of course im used to being approached by females in clubs. At first being in-experienced with clubs preferring to pick up women while both parties are sober allowing me to enjoy the challenge and the dynamics. However over my time at university ive learned that to maximise your chances in the club situation the conversation should not be about how it is working as a nurse but should be reduced to the level of
"how you doing?"
"Yeah im alright"
This has worked far better for me than all the intelligent witty conversation in the world has in clubs. Do intelligent women not go to clubs? If i was in their shoes i probably wouldnt either, the chance of being ass-grabbed by a very unattractive crude guy would probably put me off too. While im happy enough picking up simplistic girls often older than me by just agreeing with what they say, is there anywhere that i can find someone who will flirt with me properly? creating tension?
So with this frame of mind to the title, what are the moronatchi?
The moronatchi in the male format are the FHM readers of this world. They aren't thick academically having passed all their exams and gotten into university. However their interest in academia stops there. Once they've achieved the standard life becomes about what lads mags glamourise. The most common myths i see are.
"Money will get you laid"
"Nice car will get you laid"
"posh clothes will get you laid"
"*pick up line/Slowly draw your eyes up her body* will get you laid"
"Drinking is good fun"
In the female it can be seen as excessive pre-occupance with the male to the degradation of themselves. For example drinking like men nowadays. I wont comment because i like drinking as well. However the associated hedonism in the name of girl power is just embarassing to watch. Critique for a mate are normally based on the most naive guy who will fire off as many complements as possible and relationships are often based on this simplicity towards the concept of love. I motion that most if not all the marriages today break up because of a misunderstanding of the difference between love and lust. This is certainly seen at an adolescent age and in my experience often continues into adulthood.
At this point i would accuse myself of snobbery however in my experience of being in circles in and outside of money and education (Some being in circles in less affluent areas and some in the most trendy wealthy areas) The conversations are normally the same and only the accents change. For example i heard almost word for word the same conversation on tanning in deepest hicktown and in deepest tofftown.
Any discussion will normally be led by the consensus opinion and humor will follow this pattern. For example everyone likes Lee Evans? Indeed so do i, but he is not the funniest man alive, and his comedy is not sophisticated. This goes with the bands, tv shows, books, trends, political opinions all marketed to the lowest common denominator.
Normal conversation by continuance is then reduced to the lowest common denominator
"Do you like *x*?"
"Yeah he/she/it is *x* good"
Do i go along with this? Yeah i do, and maybe thats what makes me even worse for said thinking, i ocassionally come out and criticise for example saying that a drum beat and a computerised voice do not music make. Only to be given simplistic viewpoints about all other kinds of music/film/media being rubbish
Although maybe all this goes to show that ignorance truly is bliss? Maybe ill just grow into unthinking acceptance not just externally but internally as well? Or maybe everyone thinks this and we are trully living in a dystopian world?
Going with my last blog this type of people in the majority allow governments to do as they please with civil rights. So wake up and read your Orwells and Bradburys and see why "if your innocent you have nothing to hide" (another common moronatchi viewpoint") is a flawed argument
Again please disagree with me and show me im wrong
