MooPig Anthology and Stuff Department :: "Cargo Cults"

Are We all really a Herd of Sheeple?

MooPig Anthology and Stuff Department had been reading about "Cargo Cults," when this article stuck out from the rest. The article is irreverent of indigenous people who practice one or another cults. The reason for the contempt is that it implies that all of us earth dwellers subject ourselves to believing in "higher power" cults that turn out to be simply "advanced technology."

Read the Article HERE:

Cargo Cults - Humans Will Believe Anything | Sick Chirpse: "So how does a feeble human brain readjust to fit in all of this new and unexpected shizzle? Well, simply put, it’s all assigned to a higher power – The ultimate solution for confusion in the uneducated human. The inhabitants decided to try and get back to the glory days by inventing odd cults and new rituals. Some of these Cargo Cults still remain to this day, including one in Tanna (a remote island) where more than half a century on, they continue with their unsuccessful rituals. They try their best to mimic the soldier’s activities in a hope that they too can summon the same wealth and technology that those mystical foreigners had managed to steal." (Lazer Horse. June 18.

CONCLUSION
The article suggests that these kinds of cult followings can be eradicated through education. MooPig Wisdom thinks that cults will never be eradicated. Sure, one can read about traits and practices of people and become wise to a cult, which is what anthology is all about, but humans apparently need something to believe in. So no matter what kind of "tosh" is removed from belief systems, another whole set of rituals are borne to make a new belief system with a cult following.

Following a belief with rituals and such is said most often to "fill a void" in the heart of the follower. And your Lords and Masters are counting on all of us falling for the latest cults.

Pre-Viking Tunic Found In Thawing Glacier Shows How Climate Change Aids Archaeology (PHOTO): "Reuters reports that the woolen garment was uncovered in 2011 in south Norway, 6,560 feet above sea level on what is believed to have been a Roman-era trade route. Carbon dating revealed that the greenish-brown tunic was made around the year 300."

While Kim and Kanye are naming their baby "NorthWest," while Amanda Bynes is proving her mental state-- unaware of her new reputation, and as Britney S picks up some KFC, archaeologists find a "tunic" in glacier ice.

MooPig Welcomes you to Syllabic syndicate consort... Or a game of Hang Man, sort of

MooPig's Lesson Plan Department
Subject: Paradox of the Paramecium as a single cell thing

Assumptions: Assume no Socio-political factors, and Cultural differences do not factor. And let’s just conjure up a fantasy that every-thing in the known universe enjoys playing “Hangman” in some capacity.

Also assume there actually is a theory of everything, TOE, posing as a singularity for our universe, and that rules of hangman apply throughout, no deviations.

So you have a hang man game for the hang paramecium. The single cell has no limbs so the word in play can only be a single item. Could it be a single letter as traditional hang man goes, or is it a single syllable, or is it part of a singularity theorem of single cell-ism? Start Playing:


"Let's see... ummm... 'S'?"

"Nope."

"Squeeeeky... gleeeeck.. zzz.. phhht!"


"Thwummmp!"







Oops; the paramecium is already hung. Any next step will be disastrous, because it will alter either the game rules or the critter's carnage. Complications are eminent: as the game and the subject start to lose their purity of form and function in time and space.

Questions:

1. If placed in a noose, the paramecium alone cannot tolerate more than one move in the game?
2. Does a paramecium ever have extra stuff, like limbs or flanges, that can be added to keep it alive on the gallows, while the game is played out?
3. Do parameciums ever get together in a conjugal, creative way to maybe keep the game going by joining forces before dying?
4. Besides leaving us mystified, confused and bewildered, what is the solution, Hoosier?

Discussion -- What is most important:
Yes and no, so the discussion will go. Between just us, can you imagine the conjecture around this ridiculous scheme if this ever leaked out to usgov.com? [do you think.. naw] I believe in the end wrap up when the TOE comes due, there will be many gaps in the body of knowledge left by all us humans, I mean as in "large chunks" missing. Our BOK, body of knowledge, is a body of unfinished business, for sure.

Conclusion: Hanging paramecium is commuted to a sentence of life with parole, not just because it was a hung jury, the judge reputedly is jung as well.

Postscript: Okay, so what? Well, it is this kind of thinking that always gets me into trouble with my friends and family. At this point they are collectively saying: "Why are you wasting our time with this Bull Crappe?" [I can actually hear them in my head right now!]

So instead of continuing with the stale, over-extended, mantra “Everything Matters” I am adopting in my old age a slicker LaSalle Street adage: “Everything that Matters.” It is now an exploration of finding what’s most important today, which is in most cases is the ability to determine "what." I euphemistically think you know what I'm steering toward --

What..

• draws your attention..
• core developments are powering change..
• greases the gears..
• stops the erosion?

That's my report from the middle, where thin is out, fat is in, and none of us are bi-coastal. >pd
