Fun Stuff > CHATTER

To the New Year

<< < (3/3)

Welu:
I'm not much for resolutions either, but this year I like the idea of giving 2019 a theme. Last year was meant to be the year of Getting Shit Done. In some ways it was, but not a lot. This year I'm trying to make the year of Creativity, in whatever form I can do it.

Morituri:

I'm making it my resolution for 2018 to absolutely refuse to tolerate soft-headed anti-science bullshit.  I will not allow mere fatigue, or the kind of disrespect that just gets tired of people and doesn't care what they think, or even a noble desire to have peaceful relations with someone when they are being foolish, to compel me to be quiet when folks are spouting nonsense.

People who believe and promote bullshit are more than troublesome or stubborn or even comic individuals.   They have  become a horrible blight on our culture and civilization actively being both exploited and cultivated by powerful interests inimical to our own.

They are being used against us.

Their presence in large numbers threatens each of us, personally, with a catastrophic future on a bespoiled and war-torn planet.  And even if we despise the prospect of talking with them, we must talk about the bullshit and we must not allow bullshit to be spread unchallenged in our presence.

So....  That's my new year's resolution.

Wish me luck.  It will require speaking in social situations.  I'm not so good at that.  Maybe It'll prompt me to cultivate a needed skill.

Welu:
I had my first ever vocal lesson tonight. It felt really productive and the instructor is lovely. Gotta pick a song to learn now.
