Niggas

*READ THIS IN BERNIE MAC'S VOICE*

Nigga aint ever late
but never on time
Niggas always get arrested
but never commit a crime
Niggas always got reasons
never excuses
Niggas always got dreams
but never do shit
Niggas say they will
but never do
Niggas make claims
but most untrue
Niggas say they the best
but never prove
Niggas in last place
but never lose
Niggas sound stupid
Saying ignorant remarks
Niggas fight amongst themselves
Lights vs Darks
Niggas are ignorant
And Ignorance is blind
Ignorance doesn't live in pigment
It lives in the mind

Cut The Canopy

Not extremely political but i do believe in government regulation when it comes to business/commerce.
*Break*
In a rain forest there is a "canopy" it's the top layer of the rain forest where all the tree's strive to be, fighting for their spot to catch the rays of sunlight. Competition is so fierce that there are no such things as "little trees" in the rain forest. You are either a big tree or you will not get enough light to live. The ground floor of a rain forest is made up of vines and shrubs and whatever else can survive off the little sunlight it can catch through the cracks of the leaves that make it to the ground.
*And We Back*
That's how i feel about the state of business nowadays, once your on top it's easy to stay on top and when your on bottom you grab what ever falls through the cracks, whatever they let you have. I know what you Republicans are saying "Socialist!" "thats not capitalism yada yada yada" and all that BS but the end goal of capitalism is for competition to ignite innovation and fair pricing (if you charge too much ill go to the next guy, unless of course you have a monopoly which we saw is inevitable without government regulation JUST SAYING) but when its the way it is now and it's easiest at the top people kick their feet up and relax, there is no innovation when patents are bought out and put in the freezer. Or when the little guy has the better product but doesnt have the voice or outlet to get it out there. You achieve the exact opposite. Thats why i think government should be there no to cut the tree by the bark but trim some branches and let light shimmer down to the ground floor. That would really keep the people at the top on their toes and give hope/inspire the people on the bottom that there actually is a chance to make it to the canopy.

I hate to quote a dead gangsta rapper that never quiet made it but Stacks Bundles once said in a freestyle "A bunch of opportunist that where given opportunity, to make a difference...but when got the chance didnt give no opportunity"

Even worse these "Bailouts" basically said "Hey tree's that are making terrible decisions, instead of letting you fail and others rise and take your place, we the government, are going to nurse you back to health so you can continue sucking at the top." well yea....thats all i have to say.

How Little My Grandma Knows

I was kind of blown away today by the extent of my grandma's knowledge. This is by no means ridiculing her but rather pointing out such visible contrast. My grandmother got a box of ensure's and she wanted me to take them out the box and put them away for her, so i did. But he wanted to know how much came in the box. The box had two layers so i counted up and counted six and across and got four and multiplied by two to get get 48. so i turn to her and in creole said,"querente-oithu" (creole isnt an official language and has no alphabet/language so just read that phonetically.) Now, my grandma thinks im being lazy and dont want to count so she tells me again to count them as i put them away. That's when it dawned on me that my Grandma has not the slightest clue about the concept of multiplication.

She takes out the ensures and counts them one by one and counts them and sure enough gets to 48 and gives me a look of disbelief as though i am 1) Magical or 2) Extremely lucky. All for doing basic math a second or third grader could do. But she was born in cape verde a very long time ago, she never went to school (though does know how to read a little) and she moved here around the age 60 something. She didnt have a chance to learn no damn multiplication. People in my fathers time barely went to school, never mind my grandmothers. Another time i realize the short extent of her knowing I was watching a washing ton redskins game and she saw the stadium packed and she thought most of America was at the game. Never mind just a fraction of a district not even big enough to be a state lol.

Anyway it was just something that struck me earlier today.I place high value on intelligence when it comes to a person but at the end of a day its just a plus. I think the means of evaluating someone should be based on a scale where everyone has equal opportunity to reach it's summits. Since mental capacities vary from person to person and as you see here, often situational I wouldn't make intelligence the golden standard of evaluating someone, but it is a plus. Since everyone has an equal capacity of treating others well and being nice to people i think it serves better as a universal standard. "I'll take a nice idiot over a smart asshole anyday of the week" -Jim Jerferies (comedian) So my Grandma's still the shit, cause she's a nice lady....that has a mean face lol    

I'm A Pretty Shallow Guy

I said i was going to try and keep my blog impersonal butttt fuck it. The other day i was thinking and I came to the conclusion that I'm pretty shallow lol. Why? Well simple I thought "damn ive never liked a girl that I wasnt attracted to"

Ive never even found an ugly girl intriguing in the slightest. I gotta work on that........

Regret

I dont think regret is bad at all, regret is good actually, it means your reflecting. and some old greek nigga long long ago once said "a life unexamined is not worth living." Fear of regret is what's bad, and that's what hinders you from doing.

Objectivity/Subjectivity

“In philosophy, or religion, or ethics, or politics, two and two might make five, but when one was designing a gun or an aeroplane they had to make four.” 
― George Orwell, 1984

WOW love this quote. So much im dedicating a blog to it. Where do i start......OBJECTIVITY.

Well truth be told there are very few things that are objective in this world, and all of them fall under the realm of science. Science being honest observations about the world around us. Basically, remove all forms of life from the universe and what you got left is OBJECTIVE. (not in relation to,relative,biased, exists independently of all things) Everything in this world is 2+2=4 no exceptions. 

Now throw humans into the equation and KABLOOOM explodes a world of subjectivity. Politics, religion, good vs evil, comedy, what's sophisticated vs barbaric,music, any ideology, i mean basically anything you can name(and everything that doesnt exist independent of human existance)  falls into this category. And it's the root of all human problems (at least i think so) everybody thinks that their "4" is the right "4" and your 2+2=5. That's where we run into problems, trying to assert objectivity into a subjectivity. 

The closest we can come to objectivity in the world of subjectivity is consensus. Somehow, someway every single society or culture has come to the agreement that murder, killing someone for your own personal personal gain or no reason at all, is bad. Or Beethoven's 5th symphony is playing and someone presses the wrong key, even if it where an indigenous aborigine listening to this for the first time he would recognize that the wrong key was pressed, or be able to tell the difference between a child smashing his hands against a piano vs an expert. we can all agree that the expert piano player is better than the child, even if there is one weird nigga out there who likes hearing random banging of keys. You can see that in a weird way we kind of can find objectivity even in some thing as subjective as music. And we can all agree music is subjective. there stuff i listen to people consider noise and nonsense but i really enjoy.

Just like we all came to the conclusion that murder is wrong and the expert is better than the child we can draw closer to better solutions on other topics. We dont always need objective clear cut answers to weed away foolishness. Like for example someone who will argue murder isnt bad, or the child is better than the expert, Tyranny is better than democracy, slavery is better than freedom, the list goes on. Take this for example. Let's apply some logic.

*x and y are positive* *statement 1 is true* *statement 2 and 3 are false*

Statement 1: x+y=Z
Statement 2 2x+2y=Z
Statement 3: 3x+3y=Z

Knowing statement 1 is true we can objectively say (even without knowing any of the variables) that Statement 2, although being false is closer to the answer than Statement 3. Look at that, without knowing where the answer is rooted!!! It's weird to think, it's almost like saying even though you dont know where the treasures buried we know that position B is closer than position C. We can continue to use this logic to get closer even though we may never find it (as in the example above there is no numerical value for X,Y,or Z)


So keep this in mind and scroll back up and read the quote again and think about it.
