by what extreme hubris

by what extreme hubris dare i take on the meaning of life? i could just as easily ask why others don't. actually i find it hard to understand how and why people take anything on hearsay, even
"science". many think (would think if i let them see the depth of it) this is a sign of anger, or rebellion, or some kind of psychological malfunctioning that (with help) one could be "free" of.
they are probably right in one sense, that this mental "freedom" (skepticism?) is the kind of thing that brought us Das Kapital, Mein Kampf and did Fritz Perls write a book? it's probably like "ancient greece" (a fantasy, what do we know?) where guys in robes roamed around (lusting after boys, don't get me started) philosophizing about the world.

i am sensitive to belief systems. an allergy perhaps like william gibson's protagonist in PATTERN RECOGNITION
allergic to logos. ha. funny funny.
what i see all around me is how people's BELIEFS impact their views of the world and how
(mostly) "we" live safely INSIDE that system. I take the nun (she's in my family, she's real)...
she is adamant about knowing God, Jesus, the Bible, afterlife, etc. As a result she is strong and "happy"... even a recent article were a bunch of atheists were studying religion (via utopias) came to the conclusion that the stricter the religion the longer-lasting the communal enterprise. IE. this is WHY fundamentalism is "winning"... and WHY liberal-democracy-capitalism has a hard time "fighting" belief systems. Capitalism simply WORKS THE BEST, but it's hard to sell and hard to understand. it's counter-intuitive. people don't like free trade. people want their "king" (country) to protect them. or lie to them (China). life is nearly intolerable if you think EVERYONE is out to get you, as in some people's view of capitalism (vs., say, the image of a big bartering market).
i end up inevitably in politics because i see old fashioned religions having a waning influence. the conservative impulse they once protected is now rife with social justice, global warming, environmentalism, etc, all adjunct pseudo scientific belief systems that support "fascism" (as in liberal fascism, progressivism)...
we don't really like freedom all that much, that's what it comes down to

but one thing
life (evolution for the believers) is on the side of freedom. yes. life is always changes. has no loyalty to pattern (weather, species, etc). it's amorally in favor of change and even more -- "it" has given us access to the blueprint. the earth is warmed by a yellow DWARF star, on it's way out. millioins, billions of years? yes, we can't fathom those, but not only that, more personally we see NO ONE SURVIVES DEATH... whoops, i mean outside of the afterlife and Fortean Times magazine. The blueprint is given to us.

and what do we do with it?
like spiders, we weave a sticky beautiful web and try to catch things
to eat
