Intellectual Minimalism

Bitch, please

Our reading for today: "I’ve increasingly been relying more on intuition and less on reason" which you can see here. Further on we learn, "We simply won’t have time to think everything through, and taking that time might not be the best use of ours anyway."

That's right people. Don't think too hard. In fact, not thinking too hard is kind of a requirement for intellectual minimalism. You need to "clear the surface" of your mind. Critical thought, grammar, they're just yokes of the modern world. We don't need more ideas, we've got feelings and Truthiness (and part time jobs). When we free our minds, we free ourselves from the negative voice inside us that says "What the fuck is wrong with you!?" and "This is fucking idiotic. Get your head out of your ass" and so on. Because I have truly dedicated my life to this ideology I have decided to shed all but 10 of my most essential ideas. Here they are:

  • Use the wi-fi at Panera Bread
  • Buy v-neck shirts
  • Wear v-neck shirts
  • Blog your way to the top
  • Enjoy a cup of oolong tea while brushing your hair every day
  • iPhone
  • Ride a bike, or if not, just ride in a car that someone else pays to maintain
  • Books are like spider webs for your inner mind; don't kill a tree, plant a book
  • Make lists all the time
  • Give unsolicited advice (you're welcome)

  1. Man, I am having too much fun with this stuff! You have me (and a couple of friends) laughing our asses off!

    And to think, Bogue wants to get paid $5,000 a day PLUS travel expenses for this. Sick part is, someone will probably pay that, too!

    Gotta hand it to the kid--he's milking it for all it's worth, which isn't a bad idea because I think all but a few of his tribe will catch on sooner rather than later.

    LOVE the pic of Marshall Herff Applewhite, Jr., too! Hale-Bopp and Hail Bogue!

  2. He is not making that much money... he did for a brief period... but he fucked that up with his ever expanding ego... he is like a junior high kid who suddenly finds himself with a popularity he is too immature to cultivate, than acts like a self-righteous ass and loses all credibility.... that is why he is changing his marketing scheme (scam)... cant wait to see where this goes...
