the science and motivation behind brushing your teeth.

[tyrannosaurus vex]

It is often said that the wise are silent. Listeners. That they weigh the evidence before them, before calmly -- and collectively -- reach a level-headed decision. They don't jump to conclusions. They don't put their feet in their mouths. They toe the line. They always keep one eye on themselves and one eye on the world around them, so they know when and how to act.

It was this wisdom, we are told, that built the Pyramids and the Eiffel Tower. It was wise men and women -- well, mostly wise men -- who knew what to do when the Plague struck down a third of Europe. These men who knew how to respond and what to expect when the Twin Towers fell. Wise people. Brave people. Loud, wise, silent people.

So, of course, we are told to be wise as well. To achieve Great Things, and appreciate Small Things. To listen. To be silent. We are encourage to achieve wonders by being meek. Because all the great people in history started out "small," too.

"The greatest instructor is the greatest student," We are told. "Approach knowledge with no preconditions, soak in the learning like a sponge! We promised the classroom is clean, and you're safe in here just as long as you remember where the fire exits are and what your hall monitor job is in the event of an active shooter."

This is all bullshit, and therefore, we endorse it completely. I mean, shit. You gotta "believe" something, right? Might as well be this! Fuck it! What do we care? It gives you an ethos, keeps you from wandering around the planet stabbing and shooting things (well, hold on. Unless they deserve it. Then it's OK.) You get to completely ignore the whole "what the fuck is actually happening around me" thing, and everybody else does so fuck, why not you too? Right? So yeah. If you want to believe that what the fuck do we care. You go right ahead and do that until you turn blue in the soul.

ANYWAY...

Here's the problem.

That story up there? Yeah, it's bullshit, I know we told you already but listen, you half-spilled bag of turds, that story was concocted and propagated by exactly the same assholes who are now teaching you to accept what you've been given in life because of all those people who have it worse. And while your entire lifetime earning potential is being quite literally GAMBLED AWAY on Wall Street as if you were last Tuesday's minor league softball match, you're getting a ph.D in the god damn history of the cracks in Mona Lisa's paint.

And they're not exactly hiding these days. They are in front of you all the fucking time reminding you who you are and what you believe, what you're worth and who you owe. Every day you live is a day you make them money, and on the day you die you'll make them money too. AND THEY WON'T EVEN NOTICE YOU.

Nobody's asking you to save the world and we're certainly not asking you to be uninformed. All we're asking is for you to

WAKE
THE FUCK
UP

Look for context clues.

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

What do Abe Lincoln and Jesus have in common? They worked for the Machine^TM whether they knew it or not. And you can be just as famous, just as loved and hated, just as exalted as they were. If you play your cards right. Cards are limited and doled out sparingly. Line forms at the rear. No pushing. Wait patiently. Be quiet. Watch closely, you may pick up tips. Eyes on the cards only. It's the only game in town, the only one that pays. If you make it to the table, you want to be ready, right?

Take a seat between Abe and Jesus and wait for the deck to be cut. This could be your lucky day. It's your lucky day already, just for making this far. You've done so well. You worked so hard, watching and biting your tongue and giving up other things like GOING OUTSIDE and art and hobbies and soul.

Here's a toaster. Now will it be call, raise, fold, or death?

All that noise? Just haters. Fucking ranting about whales again. Fucking worthless whales. What have they ever done for anyone? Eyes on the cards, son. It's your play. Wall Street raises. Where's the deed for your property? Throw it in, kid. Go big or go home.

Just kidding. It's our home now. Next hand, girlie. You in or are you out? Winners go out one door, losers go out another. Which door do you want? That's right. Ante up.

There's nothing else in all the world but this. The world is a myth. This is real.

Ignore that grinding noise.

I'll just leave this here, then.
