Socrates sez,

I watched part one on Monday, March 10, 2008.

I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History.

My thoughts are as follows:

My bottomline beliefs are that there is no such thing as unembodied consciousness (atheism), and that the human race is a mass of fungus, spreading out upon while exponentially devouring and depleting a fertle host which is actually a chunk of clay and water orbiting one of ten quadrillion stars in our particular universe.

Notice how the program begins with the Christian v. Muslim struggles of the crusades and aftermath combined as usual with famine, disease, and death.

The swarming fungus zooms across an ocean and devours lesser indiginous bacteria not well suited for armed conflict and foreign disease.

Of particular note is how, all along, classes of fungus are apparent.

For example, Columbus and his crew see the caribbean natives as funny monkeys not human as themselves. The dehumanizing of others leads to enslavment and genocide.

I tell superstore workers with the red vests and nametags, minimum wage and 30 hour workweek all the time that they are industrial slaves and corporately devalued things to no avail.

The 3/5ths clause in the constitution is a huge item for contemplation. Volumes have certainly been written but I dare say that Barack Obama as president will produce the most analysis ever, each author bold, opinionated, and heavy laden with self proclaimed expertise. Little do they know they are insignificant, meaningless fungus just like the rest of us.

I don't care for the woman who spoke about interracial marriage at the end. I find radically liberal women to be a complete turnoff. Any shrill, frigid woman with high education is living support for the kind of world that would ostracize me for refusing to accept opperant conditioning in male feminization training.
