General Ideas

Every single thing that has gone wrong at an interview of mine. I remember it all without even trying. The memories don't haunt me as much as the brain I possess goes looking for them - replaying them in a fashion that allows me to dissect every soundwave coming out of every participant in every room more carefully than an actual frog dissection (I have no clue how that happens, but pop culture dictates I make that reference).

I know full well why that happens - not only through the aforementioned pop culture that is now every TV show you've ever seen but just basic association tactic to the term 'frog dissection'. I'm not digressing, I assure you. There is a point here - I think. 

Speed and Wiccan maybe the names of Wanda Maximoff's new born babies (reference: WandaVision on Disney+) but they could very well be the two Generals of my mind, who control the overall working of this hollow tin can of an Earthly-being my Kun inhabits. It's not exactly a fan of the whole homo sapiens sapiens gig we have going on, but is still choosing to stick around until the time to reveal itself arrives - very Revenge of the Sith and Chancellor Palpatine that way (Spoiler Alert).

So, yeah. Speed and Wiccan are now the christened names of my two brain cell Generals who are commanding the rest to either speed up as I type (or do anything for that matter) - or ruminate/remind me of the ghosts of my future past. [Yes, I watch a lot of Sci-fi, what was your first clue?] 

Over the years, physical inabilities have given birth to a lot of new mental abilities - or at the very least brought them to the surface having been hidden away for so long. Is this the way the mind compensates when you lose a leg by giving you an additional boost of perceiving the 4th dimension? Were the speed cells once prevalent in my legs now present in the tiny space between my ears? Weirdly enough the entity asking this may well have all the answers. So much for the Anthropic principle, huh. 

Then again, something like that brings up the age old dilemma that the mind is strongest thing on Planet Blue-slowly-turning-grey. But that statement itself is one created by the mind. For all the crap you gave every priest who ever claimed that he was a disciple of God, this frankly suprasses that by a long shot. 

It's like when every English football team's fans in the stadium [Ah, the good ol'days] sing the song "Blah Blah FC... We're by far the greatest team the world has ever seen". I mean, sure but that's according to you. It's a wholly personal opinion which you really should not be imposing on anyone else. Sure it is a part of being competitive, but by an extensive relevance case here, who or what exactly is the brain competing against?

One could argue that the statement is simply meant to motivate the human race to be fearless in their task of achieving anything and everything they set their mind to (lol) but if that were really the case, one would think Elon Musk would've come out with a paraphrased and 'woke' version of the whole thing by now. Or maybe one of those really 'fresh' K-Pop bands that everyone is going crazy about would have written and performed a song on it. [That is the correct way to use 'woke', right kids?]

Naturally, every brain for every human will probably not relate to being the 'best' given that that exact situation would mean we all think we are doing what's best for society and don't honestly care what the next human being has to say. Thank my Kun that's not case. Phew. 

So if the next time you wander off into a state of opposite nirvana with your worst-possible memories in tow for what feels like the rest of eternity, maybe just try to jolt yourself back to everyday life by playing the same Jedi trick on your mind. Re-remind it of how powerful it claims to be and then see if it can stand by it's original statement. No guarantees it won't turn out to be a hypocrite like 99.75% of the population but hey - still worth a shot. 

Generals Speed and Wiccan out.
