Some Days I'm Glad I Live in Africa, Where Anything Goes and the Rules Don't Matter:

Judging by the mad world scale Africa is wasteland nobody gives a continental shit about. I won't defend anymore than I criticize my present environment as a resident in Africa. I will point out some common sense. You can't rush change. You can't force change. You can't un-asshole yourself. Stupid people do stupid things, evident by the modern age excessive documentation of everything all the time but in Africa, for the most part accountability is ignored. But nobody gives a continental shit, let's move on. As an active member of a secret society I am here to observe, because me interacting means certain global genocide. Africa functions by Pavlovian culture, ask the dogs about it. Zero gain for the instant reward sums it up. I think often of the keen observation Pavlov had for his test group, watching for signs in any of the dogs for primitive self realization of let's defy that damn bell and revolt. He no doubtedly corrected his experiment, hopefully without having to shoot the dog. How these clever techniques have fooled the mind of modern society to believing the instant reward comes without gain everytime that device in your hand responds. YouTube brazenly advertises you ring that bell to receive notifications, ding-a-ling. Empty be this lonely planet. I mentioned the rules don't matter and anything goes, that's true as long as you're not seeking freedom. You can't please everyone all the time, there are going to be moments of conflict that sometimes continue on for an age. Honestly if the reward is worth the hassle I encourage you to go for it, you might turn into an asshole but everyone should reach for their dream. Be the rulebreaking rebellious oddity you want to be, but remember their is going to be sacrifice and you decide what price you'll pay. Ultimately a string of shitty choices don't matter much when you look back at them during your victory celebration, however lonely that feeling is I don't really know. I've stomped on a lot of toes, said a ton of crappy things, hurt a lot of feelings and ruined many relationships in my pursuit for success. The results have been minimal.
