Billions of people before during and after us had tried and failed to figure it all out, and standing on their shoulders didn't make us fail any less.

So, at least in this respect, we should have all been equal.

But some people were much more forceful at not having figured it all out, and some people failed at figuring it all out with more style, and some people invested years of study to be able to not figure it all out better than those who hadn't invested a minute.

So among people who hadn't figured it all -- let alone ANYTHING -- out, there was a natural hierarchy according to who could be wrong and ignorant in the most believable, flamboyant, and informed way.

Unfortunately for the world, its people weren't the only ones who couldn't figure it all out, because the world itself couldn't figure it all out. "It all" in this case, by definition, being itself, the world.

So the world was just hanging out there, revolving and rotating and trying to act like it knew what it was doing, but the only thing it knew was that it didn't.

To try to get some sense of control, it put together a night club act where it told self-deprecating jokes about itself. One night we went and sat in the front row and watched.

"The world walks into a bar..." it began, a little nervously.

We waited to hear what the world would order -- but it never did. Just sat at the bar.

Power was sitting there too, at the far end of the bar, calmly having truth spoken to it by whomever. Not batting an eyelash.

But what did that leave to be spoken to impotence by whomever2? Only lies, of course.

So people take erectile dysfunction pills not to turn their pathetic flaccid cocks into pathetic erect ones, but simply to, at least once, hear the utter fucking TRUTH that only power gets to hear -- from the impotent protests of the last few impotent people not yet strung out on erectile dysfunction (i.e. salt) pills.
