NEVER ENDING MATH EQUATION
For those of you looking here to read some story on Modest Mouse (you may have to Google that reference), I'm sorry but it really has something to do with what I'll be talking about here.
With the brutal attack of cable news pundits from all sides of an issue, you're head might spinning after hearing all the different ways a subject can be turned into an opinion or, in one man's case, actual talking points for the leader of the free world to memorize and regurgitate to the media the following day.
This is where the political machine has got this method down to a science, even if some of them don't believe in actual proven scientific facts. One of the most popular phrases in the mathematical or scientific community is to view the question, simplify the actual meaning or expression and then justify why that meaning (or theory) is the 'truth.' They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I say the truth is in the emotions of the beholder as well. Once we manipulate your emotions, we have you wrapped around our finger. Once the supposed the truth is narrowed down to sound bytes, slogans and headlines; you can easily be persuaded. This is especially true if you make no effort or have no desire to do your own research to verify what is trying to be proven. And because people are so busy these days working more than one job, being enslaved to technology, social media and wanting to escape the horrors of the real world, we will be satisfied to just believe the most convincing answer and move on with our mundane lives.
We want drive-thru answers to questions that require a full fine dining explanations. Go ahead and order when you're ready.....if you dare.
