karl the weed
people
let
themselves
be
held
hostage
,
stuffed
into
a
little
box
sitting
in
an
abandoned
corner
of
the
brain
when
you
concede
to
your
parents
as
a
child
you
give
them
your
trust
because
they
are
all
you
know
you
are
a
sponge
that
soaks
up
whatever
knowledge
they
have
to
give
you
are
in
essence
prescribing
to
whatever
teachings
they
decide
are
important
and
you
assume
that
they
must
have
it
all
figured
out
since
they
have
been
alive
for
so
much
longer
but
really
they
don't
know
shit
and
by
the
time
you're
old
enough
to
discern
a
semblance
of
the
truth
your
mind
is
too
muddled
with
nonsense
to
be
able
to
tell
what
makes
sense
intelligence
is
no
longer
a
part
of
the
process
of
natural
selection
sure
you
can
be
smart
and
take
advantage
of
others
but
really
there's
no
incentive
to
teach
your
child
how
to
survive
properly
in
any
pragmatic
sense
no
survival
of
the
fittest
just
survival
of
the
richest
instead
you
gotta
teach
em
societal
expectations
and
roles
and
ideals
that
some
other
jack
off
came
up
with
the
sense
of
perspective
is
lost
and
the
unsuccessful traits
that
would
have
gotten weeded
out
of
the
species
get
mixed
in
with
all
the
other
crap
cause
we're
too
busy
watching
our
50
inch
Super
-HD
3
-Dimensional
television
to
notice
so
that
initial
curiosity
as
a
child
is
squandered
by
teaching
a
child
to
limit
themselves
we
just
can't
see
how
limited
we
are
i
think
that
maybe
that
child
who
doesn't
know
better
yet
is
the
closest
thing
in
our
time
to
the
true
spirit
of
humanity
...
and
the
artists
and
philosophers
of
the
world
are
those
who
clung
to
that
stubbornness
and
that
need
to
explore
despite
the
world
trying
desperately
to
strip
them
of
it
and
people
are
taught
to
be
terrified
of
their
own
thoughts
most
will
never
come
close
to
the
truth
thoughts
,
dreams
and
the
power
of
the
mind
are
the
greatest
powers
that
humanity
has
known
;
it
is
thinking
that
will
save
us

ergo
They
want
something
to
hang
an
opinion
on
Answers
Thinking
is
an
annoying
distraction
from
consuming
pablum.

...
Doar
ah
. Karl
you
are
back
...
100902
...
ktw
yes
,
i
was
being
a
lurker
for
a
while
but
it
is
nice
to
come
back
and
see
the
same
people
and
the
same
blather
that
i
remember
...
although
it
is
a
bit
quieter
it
is
strange
though
to
go
back
and
look
through
my
old
posts
and
see
myself
at
a
different
time
in
my
life
...
ive
definitely
missed
blather
...
i
just
sorta
lost
the
need
to
just
post
meaningless
shit
for
the
sake
of
posting
it
and
for
a
while
i
just
read
and
didn't
post
...
but
its
good
to
be
back
:]

Doar
Karl,
it
doesn't
matter
that
you
have
grown
older
,
it
doesn't
matter
that
maybe
the
years
have
brought
with
it
a
temperance
of
you
thoughts
.
It's
still
good
,
at
least
to
me
that
you
are
back
.
It
is
good
to
have
you
back
here
,
and
may
I
say
"
Welcome
back
".
.

...
Doar
and
I
see
you
have
a
perspective
and
learning
.
