The Functional Illiterate
"The Mind is a Terrible thing to Waste"
As a logical person (questionable) my mind questions, why an illogical person would think illogically? Is it logical? and if so why? Potentially you could assume a logical rational answer, but to think illogically because it is illogical to do otherwise would be illogical. So now I'm perplexed, possibly confused by my own illogical reasoning. I see a paradox here, the outcome of my thinking is illogical, but the premise behind my thinking is logical. A logical person at this point would be dumbfounded, and as illogical as dumbfounded sounds, it would be a logical response.

"Irrational Belief a Cultural Tradition"
Why don't we remove the irrational belief in some arbitrary rules of how one should think that some guy came up with a few thousand years ago and called them logic?
Logical thinking and the belief that anything illogical does not exist is a serious hazard to society, especially when the disorder is affecting extremely large numbers of people and has become a plague on society. This psychosis is a drain on evolutionary progress and should require immediate attention on the part of all nations.
Believing nothing exists other than that which can be explained using those few entirely arbitrary rules of logic, and understood within the entirely arbitrary system created by those rules, is up there with the belief that a magic, invisible, heatless, fire-breathing dragon lives and is flying around promising to make you live forever if you leave ice cream on your back porch.
The reason we as a society have accepted this nonsense called logic is because philosophy is considered a cultural tradition and this irrational belief is acceptable because it came from a philosopher who was considered smart. By some people. The only way this makes any sense is if all philosophies and sciences come forward and say what they are preaching is just a theory and this logical thinking we are promoting is with the express understanding that the scientific logic and understanding are based on theory that is not necessarily reality.
If you continue to believe these logical constructs and theories are actually real and attempt to recruit or influence others with your logical belief you could be considered mentally ill and subject to confinement in a mental institution.
I think this would be logical and a good start.

Expanding on Poe's Law
Insane Logic is the kind of logic that just can't be argued with because it's so out there it's completely irrational to do so. Lost in its own insanity any attempt to make it rational would make it even more incomprehensible. It is logic failure that crosses over into parody and by nature, becomes impossible to differentiate from sincere extremism. A person such as me may say something so illogical that it has to be deliberate on the part of me and probably would be impossible to understand without the display of a winking smiley.
For those who have a sense of humor in their writing style and don't take it so seriously.

Is My Ass To Fat?
Certainly a question many would have, who would you ask though to be sure and would you be willing to accept the answer? In the US and many other countries the word "Ass" by itself is derogatory or insulting and is generally used to mean he who is obstinate, stupid or silly. The slang terms "dumbass" and "jackass" are also used to refer to something considered stupid. But what about enormous, huge or mammoth ass, these certainly wouldn't fit into the same categories would they?
Actually they would, because in the English language we could use the term, "He is a Huge Ass" meaning he is more then just a stupid ass or obstinate ass, thus, enormous and mammoth would mean basically the same thing. We then move on to terms with more direct meanings like - Over Weight Ass, Fat Ass, Hippo, Rotund and Obese Ass, meaning the ass is very large or extremely big.
Very large Asses were first noticed and bread around 3,000 BC, and have spread around the world, pardon the pun. They continue to fill important roles in many societies and places today. While globally fat asses are increasing in numbers, the African wild ass and another relative, the pigmy ass, are endangered. As companions, fat asses have comforted humans for millennia because of their generally calm and lazy nature. The question however, is my ass to fat? The answer is weigh your ass if you have a scale, if you don't, put it in a horse trailer and go to the nearest truck weigh station. Weigh the trailer with your ass in it and weigh it after you take your ass out. If you find your ass to be on the heavy side, considering feeding your ass less.

"Thinking Out Loud"
I find it fascinating the amount of time people spend on social networks and have little to nothing to say. Do they say little because they have nothing to say, or do they say little because they can’t say much with 140 characters or less?
"Too often we... enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." – John F. Kennedy
The mind if used properly is capable of critical thinking, Critical thinking is that mode of thinking about any subject, content, or problem in which the thinker improves the quality of his or her thinking by skillfully analyzing, assessing, and reconstructing it. It is self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective.
Critical thinking requires time and effort which people seem to have so little of. Although when on social networks it seems there is plenty of time to post opinion in quick burst, but there isn’t enough time to form and real thought. Normally this leads to misinterpretation of the authors post and additional opinions flood in.
Forming a real thought or providing useful information which could be educational requires time. It requires research so as not to provided only opinion; it requires the author to have an understanding of the English language and proper grammar so as not to confuse the reader.
All too often with 140 characters or less a complete thought can not be done. Today we attempt to form complete thoughts using acronyms and in many cases can be done with one single letter a number or punctuation mark for example the punctuation mark ! Means – “I have a comment.” the number 2 can mean - “to, too, two.” and a single letter like C means – “see.”
To form a complete thought, idea or to provide information in less then 140 characters would go something like this.
AFAICA, ALOTBSOL, BC, YOLO
Which means – “As Far As I'm Concerned, Always Look On the Bright Side Of Life, BeCause, You Only Live Once.”
93 Characters turned into 26 and is a complete thought. However, if you don’t use acronyms on regular bases like me, you would probably have no idea what this says.
My final thought is this. Be open to speak your mind, be creative, don’t limit your thoughts or opinions for that matter, to a few characters and find things that are informative, educational and useful.

"Orderly Confusion and the Insane Logic" an Exercise in Futility
Preliminary Conclusion - "A thought process where confused people understand what to do."
Literal Interpretation - "Controlled chaos with a pattern of unpredictability, such as a roundabout intersection."
"Having unknown knowledge of the random order or any foolproof instructions posted, yet, only cautiously concerned of a distracted dimwit making a deliberate mistake and causing a fatal injury."
Anticipating the Unanticipated and the Roaring Silence, as when preparing for an aircraft crash landing.
"Disaster preparedness and the fearful bravery of others are but many of the few hypothetical situations our brain will process as realistic simulations in the inevitable possibility a slow and steady rush to the exits will block progress. Generally common courtesy and common sense will almost totally remove any false hope so all will survive."
I'm basically a functional illiterate, although a free thinker, questionable at best are my motives, predictably random are my thoughts with tentative conclusions, a rebel without a cause, insanely normal and a laid back compulsive.
There's a reason for this, there's a reason for that . . . Who Knew??
The above was completely written using oxymoron's, if you would like to try yourself, here is a link for many of them.
