The Big Whatever!
How can I apologize for not posting on here? Well, let's see. Cause I've been too focused on trying to earn some money writing somewhere else! Go check out the about page and you'll see the updates on some of the earnings there. Now that I can organize these things a little better, I'm nice and comfy with my blogging abilities. I still have more shifting to do with scheduling these post and hopefully when you see this one, I will have already figured all of that shit out.
But here we are with another Beat Down. A bunch of posts about shit I wanted to talk about when I was in the I-do-what-I-want zone.
Ugh. Let's get some of this out of the way.
Ideology
The Garbage Of Xiao
I was watching Curse of the Golden Flower recently and in the extras the director talks about the days of feudalism and fifial piety or Xiao, and how it's a cherished virtue in Chinese culture. I've seen a few documentaries where the female sex is subservient to the male sex in the family. We read stories about that kind of thing every day and it makes us cringe, but this in particular is overdoing it, where praising parents and ancestors is another form of social control.
Making A Case For The New Atheism Movement
Much like the Xiao, religion is another bogus bullshit ideology that I'm fighting against every single day. I'll give you more updates on what kind of arguments I get into with other people. But, I've been on that other side of the argument, where my old self would be arguing with my new self. But all of this stuff comes with experience. I wouldn't expect someone younger than their thirties to be an atheist. Of course, that all depends on how indoctrinated you are cause deprogramming is a fucking bitch.
My Investing Idea For Poor People
I'm sure many of you know this but I have a feeling some aren't ready to accept how much easier it is for us poor people to invest in our own futures. Technology has made that easy as technology but it's also forced us to think differently and show the fuck down. One thing I've seen in these poverty camps is that they're always running around trying to scrape something together. Poverty is also in the eye of the beholder. Sure, there are times when things are really fucking hard. Slow the fuck down and think about investing now. Train yourself to save up for that nest egg.
I guess that's all I want to throw out there for you to see. I swear it, the next beat down won't be so beat down.
