Who cares if you like it better voyeurizing the last of you having existential issues (while stuffing yourself with double doubles) than try to understand why you’ve come to do so?
Just want you to know that (take a breath, another long sentence coming) in case you ever changed your craving-for-apocalypse minds and decided you could use them to experiment looking at things the way genuine wannabe human beings should, reading Homo juchremanensis* might be of some help.
Hi Juchreman bros and sis! Easter eggs all picked up? Back on the chain gang? Paying the Money God His divine due? Not read Homo juchremanensis* yet? Well, have a great week of fighting, insulting, hating, slaying each other in the name of whatever so-called alligator prophet you choose to waste your time and energy to serve then !
By the way, I’m working (and enjoying it) on the english edition of a lovely little crime story I wrote a couple of years ago. Therefore I might be even less present here on fyr the coming weeks. See you laters alligaters !
Thanks people for your coming by every day to check out what’s being said on fyr.
Now that you’re beginning to know enough to decide your fate as post modern prehistoric representatives of the Homo juchremanensis species, wouldn’t it be cool to start telling the unfortunately too many who have not yet attained your level of self-knowledge they could try and upgrade theirs by reading Homo juchremanensis (epub/kindle)?
… Unless they’ve decided to go on relying on a survival instinct which dinosaurs also possessed.
Happy Easter vacations to all !!!
Matthew’s Gospel 18:3
“And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven”
Regarding the term “children” as applied to the faithful, S. Freud (whose “Moses and Monotheism” we heartily recommend for further reading) explains that whereas in pre-existing civilizational/religious schemes, the entity referred to as « people » was nothing more than a reservoir of cheap labor needed to swell the ranks of armies and build all manner of monuments to the glory of their material/spiritual masters, with Moses it is suddenly turned into an under-aged offspring who needs to be educated.
Now, as natural as it may seem to « educate » an actual “child” – if only to pass on to him the means to survive in a potentially dangerous world – the training of adult “children”, when strictly not a professional affair, is bound to raise eyebrows. Some nasty conspiracy theorists go so far as to call it “brainwashing”.
Whatever you think of it, in the year of grace +2025, you only have to switch on any cultural television/radio program to hear some most learned intellectual, often well into old age, utter in a suddenly strangely childlike voice, full of awed tenderness, a “my daddy used to say this” or “my mom would do that”, to get an idea of Homo juchremanensis’ truly psychotic reluctance to assume adult status. May you rest in peace, uncle Sigmund!
Why not read Homo juchremanensis (epub/kindle) and try adulthood for a change ?
“It is therefore important for boys to go to maktab (elementary school) at an early age, when learning resembles carving in stone.”

– Teacher, where are Mom and Dad?
– At work. Making money.
– What for?
– To pay off the loan on the car that takes you to your free, compulsory, secular school every morning.
– What’s going to school for, teacher?
– Come on, child! To race for points with your friends to be sure! Just like on ‘Family Feud’, ‘Wheel of Fortune’, ‘Split Second’ or ‘Jeopardy!’ But enough chit-chat! Get out your math exercise books – the most important class as you know, if only to work out the loan interests on Dad’s car, Mom and Dad’s house, your higher education costs, Grandma and Grandpa’s pensions and aftercare, and so on and so forth. Write carefully: “Knowing that, out of the 24 hours allotted to them by their connected watches, 8 hours are devoted to work, 1/2 hour to lunch break, 2 hours to transport + 3 hours to TV/social networks/Zineflix series, and knowing on the other hand that a child needs 10 hours sleep a day, how much time do his/her parents have left to fulfill their parents duties?” I pick up the papers in 5 minutes!
– What’s “parents duties”, teacher?
– Say… explain to their children how to make more money than the people next-door… How to get a bigger car than them…
– Teacher… What else is there in life apart from making money?
– “Apart from… ” Learning not to ask silly questions, that’s what there is!!! Now you get down to work!
– Teacher ! It’s Britney, she says that her parents are unempl…
– Britney!!! You’ll copy me a hundred times: “I’m not supposed to swear in class”. As for your “parents”- if they still deserve the name – they should be ashamed of themselves for forcing other parents to work overtime to subsidize their pitiful lives! By the way, dear, no need to come prowling around the canteen at lunchtime anymore ! Our beloved Leader – long live him and his revered ass – has made the wise and courageous decision to stop feeding the children of unemp…
– Teacher!!!
