Brock LayFayette: the poor-man's Wheeler Jones

There is a "law" that can be found referenced in certain esoteric texts, sometimes directly, sometimes not; it's there though.
It's called "The Law of Infinite Regress".
Mull that a bit.

The subject of this blog references a previous blog entry I made a long time ago, after trying to connect with people beyond pissing contests, and fights over who can use "internet research" to vindicate their point.

It was a joke, and the gist was: no one understands me and I just want to go home and pet my kittens.

I received OVERWHELMING sincere response to that entry, much to my astonishment.

What did I learn from that lesson? Two things:

1- it confirmed to me that humanity, at its root, is ONLY equal in misery. We can be human with each other in the storm. We bond on real equality of circumstance, not notions of democracy or union of belief. We unite in the fire. I don't consider this a bad thing at all. It's proof of humanity.

2- when you create of forum for anonymous postings, you encourage what I like to think of as "regressive act-outs". What I mean by this is that people allow a true nature to guide their thoughts and fingers. The mentality of the "win" appears. Not for all. True nature can't be fooled. Good people are still good people. There is no truth serum more potent an anonymity.

When I posted my 1st blog, it did so with the notion of seeing how many #1s vs. #2s I would see.
I saw some #1s. Not many. But maybe THEY were the votes for top blog. I don't have any particular attachment to that.. I just think it's a quiet way of appreciation sometimes. Perhaps I'm naive. I don't blog often.
I saw more fighting of #2s too: people who didn't get it. Told me they DID get it but I was wrong on a, b, c... proving that they DIDN'T get it... that they were, indeed #2s.

And so the Law of Infinite Regress. Yes.
And why no one understands me.
People DO understand me, of course. Not many of them; I don't attach romantic notions to that. I've lived too long for that kind of dalliance.
But the LAW remains, operating in the spaces BETWEEN our "notions" and "ideas". The law is insurmountable but completely JUST. And when the smallness of the #2s try to bully me into their game, I only smile, and sometimes shake my head in disappointment.
It IS a law of course, and I'm just a subject to the infinite rule.
