Well, I will just say Q is like a very intense and focused version of my dad. So, reading Q has been like taking a trip down memory lane of my childhood.
Dad knew weird shit for no reason. There again, he was probably smart enough to bullshit mystically enough to hit something real in the process, so there is that.
Still, what I wouldn't give to be able to watch this show with him. It… Is a selfish thing to wish for more time with the departed - but still, he would have found Q incredibly interesting and the times we are in… Well, he would probably be a despairfag about it. As he used to tell me, in his economics class in the 60s, they predicted the U.S. and Russia would trade places - the U.S. would go communist and Russia would go back capitalist. So… Imagine living with the knowledge of what was threatening us for 50 years….
I'll be honest, I've lived borderline nihilistic because I knew it was an obstacle I had to clear before I could have a stable life. Once this is over, I will kind of have to learn how to be human, as so much of my purpose for living has been tied up in understanding the coming maoist revolution and trying to find ways of coping in the looming shadow of it.
I think my brain got a little fucked up from seeing more than the mortal mind is meant to see…
Anyway…. What was I even talking about?
In my adventures, I have met interesting people who insisted they were normal people, but you could smell the royalty on them - and not in a bad way. Kind of like the legends of what royalty and nobility are supposed to be like. It could also just be that other cultures aspire to that standard to such a degree that it fools the senses of the sons of man. But if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck…. What's the difference?
I've also studied some interesting ends of defense contractors - the legends who answered the demands of the war machine but have made companies which can operate beyond the need to inform the government. There are powers that be up there who could easily be 'wizards and warlocks' - people who have dealt with truths of the world they have the raw industrial resources to pry from the depths of the unknown. Call it national defense imperative… I call it what any sane person who owned and directed Lockheed, GE, etc would do. The people actually interested in things of value, not having the highest federal reserve score before they die.
Somewhere within those interesting things is likely where Q lay, if you ask me. People who we simply don't stop to realize we knoe must exist - but are phantoms beyond our experience and direct observation.
