What I learned back then, at school, was that the formation of a character is in a large part knowing who you should care about and who you should not. Bad as it sounds at the first take, it is true. Also knowing whom you should listen to and whom you should not.
If you’re willing to learn, you will listen to people who have something original to say. They’re not exactly easy to find, but you might get lucky. I have a rule here – pay attention to the ones who can express themselves and convey a message in a minimum number of words. These are the best brains. I was lucky enough to have teachers like that, back in the day in the high school, far away from here behind the Iron Curtain. These days in the West the confusion continues. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) in the US admits that more people are dying from suicides and overdose than from Covid. In Europe, the German health minister Jens Spahn has come out and publicly admitted that the lockdowns of the economy were a mistake. That, I think, is an understatement of the year. Just wait for the avalanche of lawsuits from businesses that folded for no reason whatsoever, except for the government incompetency of handling the situation. Listen – the politicians know full well that there is no pandemic. They push the topic because their economies are collapsing and they’re preparing to try to cleverly default on national debts. Another distraction, the BLM (black lifes matter) movement has a strong presence in the media. The black community is the most heavily armed (estimated at 10M people with guns in the US) with the highest criminal record by far. Are we missing something here? White lifes don’t matter? All lifes matter equally to me. In life, every good initiative starts as a good cause, attracts attention, then becomes a business and eventually degenerates into a racket. BLM is no exception. I think we’re entering the racket stage here. And spare me Gates and his buddy Anthony Fauci saying that we may have to wear masks and keep distance from each other for years to come. Okay guys, you will make your money when the second wave hits, the panic will go insane and you will have the vaccine at the high of the hype and price it accordingly. Make your money, hope it’ll feel good. It will be like the old Dire Straits song – Money For Nothing. Billionaire high school dropouts are suddenly experts on viruses, CO2 emission, population growth (decline in fact, if you dive into specifics) and Marxist Equality, excluding them of course. Bill Gates is an example, and he recently got $79M from Canadian prime mister Justin Trudeau without a real explanation for what. Hell, I stopped watching the news, there's nothing they can tell me I don't already know. All I check is the weather before I leave on my motorcycle on a Saturday morning and I drive hard, you better believe it. A guy at the gas station asked me what’s the fastest I went. “I don’t know, the dial was showing 190 last I looked down and I was still accelerating. Thing is – at that speed you stop watching the dial because the scenery is moving so fast around you.” “Wow,” he said. I just ride, hope better times will come. Gonna stop when the last drop of gas turns to vapor. Or, possibly I'm on the edge of an endless fall, sure enough she's come to call. Got to go now, get on that bike. Me and the wanderlust.
