Testosterone overwhelms bullshit detectors.

[elfs]

The other day, Omaha and I were at a restaurant, and as we sat there I listened to the conversation behind me, one which encapsulated everything that's wrong with humanity in one utterly unreflective sentence:

If it brings out the beauty of life, why the fuck would you care if it's true?

Along the way, I also learned from the babbling young woman that Hiesenberg's Uncertainty Principle not only proves that telepathy is real, but that it validates the Tarot.

Grief, young men will listen to any amount of bullshit necessary to maintain the attentions of a pretty girl, won't they?

Also vice-versa. Lots of women will put up with babblings by self-proclaimed Experts in Sex Magick or aficionados of Zeitgeist, etc., as part of the courtship ritual.

Nonsense is no respecter of gender.

A while back I was telling the boy (six then?) that he must take responsibility for something that he broke, when his actions quite clearly resulted in that breakage.

"Daddy," he argued, "Einstein's theory of relativity says that ANYTHING can happen at ANY TIME!"

Very true and sadly I suspect this trait has been selected for since the dawn of language. :P

I want to post you a link to Taylor's Mali's spoken word poem "Storm", on the subject of a young woman babbling similar nonsense, but I can't find it. It is epic, however.

1: Skinny, kinky, sane, choose any two.

2: Not all men choose "skinny and kinky".

3: I for one, am not one of those men. I don't put up with insane for the sake of women who happen to think I'm hot too.

4: Who said anything about him calling her back, ever?
