I learned a long time ago, hardly anyone wants to read rants. People want their world all neat and tidy, they don’t want to learn about things that upsets their world view – and they only want it in “executive summary” format. Guess what buttercup? Most things out there already upset your world view, you just want to stick your head in the sand and hope everything turns out ok. And I am long winded. Read it or don’t, your loss if you don’t.
Why do I use the name Colonel Flagg? Taken from the T.V. Show “M*A*S*H”, this persona illustrates my outlook on several ideals in American Life. Colonel Flagg, the M*A*S*H character was a self-absorbed individual employed by H.Q. (did you say H.Q.? Who said anything about H.Q.?) and/or some other TLA (T hree L etter A gency) to either spy-on or simply report on, the 4077th M*A*S*H unit. In turn, Colonel Flagg went about things in a very disorganized and haphazard manner, he’s “…..like the wind.”
Contrary to this character on T.V., our real life Colonel Flagg, well, the one you’re reading about here in this blog, is a very logical and a thoroughly anal son of a bitch. To the point of, our Colonel Flagg pays particular attention to the rules and bends them ever so much as to stay within the boundaries, yet pissing people off in the process. That statement is directly tuned toward my fellow admins on Battlefield servers and a few other places of no real consequence. On the other hand, when dealing with practices and procedures in the real world, whether at work or when dealing with other volunteer pursuits, Colonel Flagg is about as anal, logical and thorough as one can be. This reflects the many facets that make up a complex personality. One which is surrounded by varying degrees of intelligence, ignorance, and experience; in one field or another. My “intellect” is based on the FACT that I know very little about everything and a lot about a few things.
I have no desire to monetize anything. I don’t have a desire to be “rich” in the monetary sense. I am not against capitalism, if that’s what you desire, so be it. Wealth doesn’t motivate me. I want to pay my bills, set a little back for retirement, have a few toys and be happy participating in my hobbies and activities. I thoroughly enjoy researching stuff I am interested in and absolutely abhor researching anything I have no interest. I have no further plans to learn more tech. I am nearing the end of my time going to work to make money, learning new stuff to support new emerging tech is tantamount to torture to me. No thanks, moving on. Artificial Intelligence will eventually, totally and completely, negatively affect humanity, it’s only a matter of time. I believed in pre-historic civilizations well before Graham Hancock came onto the scene and correctly wrote books on the subject. I knew back in the early eighties that everything on the planet works in cycles and there had to be civilizations “before the flood” (what we know now as Younger/Dryas) that existed and some of their knowledge was passed down to those “after the flood”.
Within these blog pages, you will find a plethora of useless information or myriad of awe inspiring wisdom (everything in my world is relative to the standard in which YOU measure it. I cannot control your actions, but I do however need to react to them.) All of my philosophy is free for the taking. All I ask for in return is that you open your mind to a different way of thinking. If you cannot think outside the box, simply stay in the box, shut your fucking mouth and never speak to me.
