i mean in those momentary interactions. the ones where the person decides they are assessing me before jumping into my lane (when there are other swimming lanes that are vacant). when the person decides they are assessing me before telling me to put clips on... i don't know how to get them to decide that they are better off backing off of me and leaving me alone.
my natural inclination is to indicate that i wish them to back off by avoiding their gaze and partially turning away or fully turning away. that doesn't seem to have the desired effect. more recently i've taken to visibly snarling. like, curling my lip a bit and baring my teeth. oddly, that doesn't seem to have any effect, either. i've also more recently tried taking a belly full of air, puffing out my chest, and giving them a good old stare down but that also doesn't seem to work. maybe i could invest in an air horn? pepper spray? shotgun?
parallel worlds...
it's like the aboriginals with the fire to thin the trees... people, i mean. how the people who make these decisions view people. the 'natural disasters' that are an inevitable part of population control, these days, because people don't / won't hand birth control over to the people whose bodies it primarily affects (in the first instance). instead of being more humane in our... planting strategies... the idea is to sow the seed as widely as possible and then imposed disaster is supposed to thin the herd.
that strategy seems to be maintaining psychopathy at around 75%.
i don't know that our laws are getting more progressive (for a greater proportion of our people).
i don't know what the world population is, these days.
i don't know who does know / what they do know.
i know i have found some stuff that suggests to me that despite everything that we try and convey here, in New Zealand about there being too many unruly youth...
there's actually f*ck all of us. we are outnumbered by tourists something like 4 to 1.
if you aren't part of some artificially compressed herd being subjected to a constant stream of garbage persuading you that you are only one totally replaceable piece of sh*t then there's really no people about...
i wonder how much the rest of the world is like that, too.
on superficial glance mostly pop is thought to be okay...
on more of a look we have exceeded carrying capacity and are in exponential population growth in a way that isn't sustainable.the world health people try and track fertile women. that's all they care about.
it's really... the handmaidens tail but upside down and back to front. it's so very very very very cheap to cast spores to the wind and pop out a constant succession of babies.
then let natural disaster cull them all.
i've been thinking more recently about assisted reproduction and what kind of assurance there is that the egg and / or sperm are actually sourced from where they were supposed to have been.
maybe i am just what happens when you get too old. you start to see how the world works and there is little to no reason to live in it, anymore.
is it all just smoke and mirrors and false ideals until they're... what... 20? 23?
we don't have a health system because nobody wants people here to live very long. nobody really accumulates knowledge considered valuable enough to teach people....
nobody cares about valuable knowledge.
nobody knows it when they see it...
all the awful.... sigh.
