Normal human culture is disgusting. I can’t even watch television. It’s all violence, killing, and other filth. But you know, in life you don’t have to live like them. You can build a world that’s free of them. You can live your life how you choose.

You know, it’s easy to get so disgusted at the world that you become disgusting as well. You get so angry with it all that you become a mean-spirited, angry person yourself. I fail in this area all the time. But it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s all about who you let in your life.

That’s easier said than done though. I have trouble loving and respecting the mobs of idiots all around me. There’s times I wish I could just build some sort of warp device and warp them all off to a parallel dimension and they just all go away and leave the rest of us alone. Unfortunately we can’t do that, and they drag us all down into the sewer with them.

In science laboratories and universities, at least at the graduate level (not really undergraduates), you’ll find groups of devoted individuals who search and strive for the truth. They’re almost all great people who you’ll love. I personally try to insulate myself from mainstream culture as much as possible. They’ll be so arrogant as to say you’re mentally ill because you don’t wish to spend time with them. They’ll say you’re neurotic and anti-social, but really they’re the ones who are insane.

If you find all the inane memorization in school boring, there is one good thing to come of it all. At the graduate level idiots are all filtered out of your classrooms. Think of it this way — the more difficult the class, the more all the morons have been filtered away. Then if you work in a lab which requires a PhD to even work there, it’s near guaranteed they’ll be a great bunch. It’s like an invisible security shield has been set up, and the morons aren’t allowed in. If you can endure until the end you’ll be saved!

It’s important to find some good people to spend time with, who research interesting and important things, and work toward improving humanity. Insulate yourself from the rest of the world and just stay clear of them. Keep interaction with them to a minimum. That’s been my strategy.

Some may say that’s a terrible strategy. After all, if the good people of the world shut themselves in there’ll be nobody to fight off the evils in this world. Even so, I can’t handle them. My mind is too fragile. I search for beauty and peace of mind and after much time in isolation I become a calm pond, breeze gently blowing, water clear and gorgeous. Then when I interact with the world again they dump their pollution in, start kicking up all the mud, and everything’s all messed up again.

If you disconnect from mainstream society and immerse yourself in scientific studies you find an almost magical world. You’ll see the 400+ billion stars of the Milky Way galaxy, possibly millions of societies more advanced than our own, planetary processes, black holes, parallel universes, the conundrums of quantum mechanics, the nature of life, and more. Eventually your mind will find itself so far away from the disgusting day to day things of this life that you’ll actually enjoy yourself. You’ll be surrounded by the idiots but your mind will be traversing the universe and whizzing around with the electrons under your feet, and to a large extent, what you think about and let into your mind is all that exists.

I occasionally take a glance back down to Earth just to make sure I’m not in danger, and then get back to my research, which is where I find bliss in life. Motorcycles are a lot of fun too!
