So Arnold Schwarzenegger is the new Governor of California. Hmmm. This has possibilities.
I’ve thought for a long time that there’s not nearly enough surreality in people’s lives anymore. In times past people didn’t know everything about the world around them. They might not have known what was over that mountain, or under those rocks.
Now, I’m not saying that the huge increases in the knowledge base of the human race is a bad thing, I’m just mourning the lack of a sense of wonder anymore. Nowadays, if you don’t know something, it takes hardly any effort at all to find it out. There is not much anymore that makes people go “huh?”
Thus, I think things like News of the Weird and Schwarzenegger being elected governor are good for the planet, in a spiritual sense. We need things to go off kilter. It helps keep us on our toes.
You know, looking over some of my latest posts, it almost sounds like I’m trying to codify this as some kind of philosophy. Weird, huh?
