When crazy is not.

You know the world has gone crazy when everyone starts dumbing down just to follow the trend. I was watching a movie earlier about a bunch of gangsters going to a monastery and coming up better persons than before. A fund manager only needs a degree and not even need to be related to investment or finance. Some people starts to believe that being a criminal is the only way forward, and the television series I was watching says that the best way forward is for a really good looking and successful looking young man leave an equally successful and equally good looking young lady.

Mass media aside, I spoke to some recruiters and apparently they are more interested in how long a person stays in a job than how successful he/she was in it. Everyone starts to believe that alone-ness is something that everyone should be flaunted and trendy. And that being weird and different is the only way forward.

Being lazy and doing sports is the sure fire way to success. That innovation and success comes from copying and not from one's efforts. And they believed that everyone and everything is all about sex and that is the only thing everyone thinks about all the time. And that by extension, sex is the only thing that drives everyone.

Similarly, that everything and every act happens for a reason and that the humming bird that flaps its wings on one end of the world will caused a hurricane in another. And that the only way hence to have salience is to have as chaos as much as possible and that in order for this settle down is to have more sex and have a family.

I have never heard of such a time, where the rationales is so warped. Employers want more and better education and not less. Gangsters do not go to monasteries and even if they do, they do not take on the monks and actually looked better off than the monks. There is a reason that monks become monks, not because they are ignorant but rather they want to see enlightenment. Old man that goes for young women are often portrayed as lecherous men and in a middle of a mid-life crisis and not because some young men actually screwed them over and left them for dead.  This makes a good old man an exception than a rule. And not vice versa.

People want to know what you achieve in your jobs and not how many hours you clocked staring at the clock and the computer. Alone-ness is often a choice and not a norm- that is why alone-ness is not trendy. Being weird and different is not popular and is actually detrimental to your own social health and if you do not have other mitigating factors, is best to be social and positive.

Being productive is better than anything else and sports is only for the gifted and most of us go for the middle class office or technical jobs. Innovation is creation and no one likes a copycat, period. Sex is a taboo and not a norm. That is exactly why it makes it fun to poke fun at it and not display it all the time.

Chaos theory works as an approximation and works together along side like a domino effect and not caused by a singular minuscule event.

I have no idea how this world has come to this really crazy times and I suspect that people are just sick and tired of convention and think that the best way is then to seek the opposite. That I can rest assure you that, it will always come to a bad end when all the dust has settled, what used to work before will be used 99% of the time, the rest of the 1% is used to drive the rest of 99% of us that's all.

I can tell you that what works for most of us will continue to work for most of us, I will leave whatever 1% that have up to their sleeve or unravel themselves. That is a reason that some things are taboo and the point of breaking them is to extract some returns and when everyone starts to break all taboos, everyone is getting nuts and crazy. If there is no pattern to their behaviour, just sit still and wait for them to crash and burn. Well, I can tell you that just sitting still amidst the craziness is already the 1%. It takes a lot more to sit still amidst the craziness than to act amidst the craziness.

Good luck everyone. I hope the craziness will settle among themselves.
