Controversial non-political opinions

Quote:I do not understand people's desire to go out drinking, being loud and stupid at the bar with their friends and putting themselves at risk of getting heavily drunk around total strangers. I didn't understand it at 15, 20 or 25, nor do I now at 30. It's one thing to hang out at your friends house and have 2-3 drinks, but getting totally hammered in public in a crowded room of total strangers? That just sounds like a disaster, not a good time.

I wonder how I missed these outrageous controversial opinions I disagree with you about

The Beatles are the mainstay of the greatest era of pop music. They did more to elevate it than any group in history. They inspired literally thousands of other bands in the only true renaissance this country may ever have had, in circa 1966. Tomorrow Never Knows is the most innovative work in the history of popular music. "The Beatles Tomorrow never knows, the devastatingly transcendental closing track on one the most celebrated albums ever…Revolver. As innovative and provocative as it is beautiful, this song is perhaps the most crucial single track The Beatles created in order to push the boundaries of what music could be."





Psychedelics was the opening to creative imagination that our culture needed. Americans were and are not well-educated in culture and spirituality to have made the best use of these, but nevertheless it was a tremendous catalyst to help us transcend materialist, commercial culture and open a new spiritual awareness and sensitivity in our blatant and shallow culture.

I was immediately astounded by the track when it came out on August 6, 1966, and my appreciation of it deepened in the next few years. It has a strong quality of opening space and scenic experience in your mind and heart, and embodies and fully represents and connects me to the wonderful culture that unfolded in the years following its release. Nothing is more valuable than that. It is a catalyst of awakening, the very essence of and power beneath the entire second-turning era of our saeculum. The entire album Revolver was loaded with innovative, well-constructed and inspiring songs, including the amazingly-classic, arrestingly-romantic and outstanding composition Here, There and Everywhere.

Rick Astley! That famous meme song is fine, but I like that it became a meme. It was fun. Ah, to be rickrolled!

Being bullied and being shamed by popular kids early in the 7th grade is the worst experience of my life. It did not make me stronger; it made me shy. I condemn bullying of any kind. People must be educated at an early age about people who are different, including education about gays which that neanderthal creep in Florida is using to make him a potential successor to drumpface idiot. NO, people need love and appreciation.

Drinking and hanging out with many known and unknown people while using substances that loosen our inhibitions is the best kind of experience we can hope for, notwithstanding the dangers of those substances. That's the love in! That's the presence of God! It can be that.









All of these things are a million times better than guns! And with my own organic male gun, I don't need to be an ammosexual.
