if you saw me walking down the street you probably would not think i amounted to much.
you probably would not even be curious about what i was thinking.
but you might be surprised at what goes on inside my head.
i am not one of those people who just believes everything he is told, not me.
for example, you probably know that gravity is 32 feet per second per second.
have you ever wondered if that is really the best - or as scientists say, the optimum - rate?
my calculations are that 36 feet per second would get much better results in the long run.
here is another example - have you ever wondered about whether the way the earth revolves around the sun is really the best method?
whether the earth’s passage might be smoother and the weather might be pleasanter and not so extreme if the other planets - mercury and venus - were not in the way? or if mars and jupiter and the other planets were different distances away or were not there at all?
or if earth’s solar system might be better off in some other part of the galaxy - closer to the center, maybe, or closer to the outer edge?
or if the universe expanded at a slower or faster rate?
you probably never think about these things, or if you ever have you probably think that nothing could be done about them anyway.
but how do you know? whoever thought , back in the days of the greeks and romans, that a man would go to the moon, or that there would be computers and smart phones and such - phones that you carry around in your pocket and you can make full-length movies with? and look what happened to poor galileo.
but anyway thoughts like this are just scratching the surface of all the things i think about and all my thoughts about how the universe and so-called reality could be made better.
like the way human society is organized. and whether it could be organized better.
here is a subject you say which many people have in fact thought about. and argued and written millions of books about and fought thousands of wars and revolutions about.
true, but in my opinion they do not go nearly far enough.
for example, the first thing you have to do to set the world straight - not the last thing but the first thing - is abolish all countries. that is what i said, all countries , including and especially the united states , before you can even begin to rearrange society to make it more fair.
but does anybody say this? no, even so-called “left-wingers” are always running on about “patriotism” and “true patriotism”!
and then there is money. money is the worst thing that was ever invented. but will anybody come right out and say so - no! instead they talk about giving even more money to more people, which is just stupid if you ask me.
anyway these are the kind of things i think about, if anybody was interested.
but even more than patriotism, even more than money, there is one thing that really messes up the world.
no, not religion, because religion does not really amount to anything.
how much time does the average human spend on religion? one hour a week? and a lot of people not even that.
no, the biggest problem in the world is - women.
women are the cause of almost all the grief and confusion in the world. they just are.
men in the modern world try to treat women like equals, like they are the same as men, but they are not.
but once you let them think that you should “respect” them or care what they think, then they have you at their mercy.
i think all the women in the world should be the slaves of all the men in the world.
and their thoughts and opinions should not be counted for anything because they are not really capable of thought.
but there should not be any private property so no one man should “own” any one women or group of women.
instead every woman should be the slave of every man and do what any and every man tells her to do.
but that is just my opinion based on my own experience and observation and thoughts.
maybe you think differently.
but that gets back to what i was saying in the beginning, that you never really know what other people are thinking.
maybe you think my views on women or patriotism or whatever are terrible and shocking, but the next guy (or woman!) that you pass by in the street might have what you would regard as even worse views.
how do you know?
a lot of people might have ideas that even i would find shocking, though i don’t think so, because i think of myself as being pretty broad minded and open to all suggestions.
but you never know.
i might be surprised.
