For my Wise and Generous Parents, to creatures of the Blue Planet:
erminal thinking or mental agility?
A delicate form of paranoia, best described by the terms "absolute beginner" or "first incarnation", increasingly afflicts the introspective meek.
Many intelligent capable souls are thus consoled in their failure to achieve and suspect their lack of ’street smarts’ might (fancifully, they admit) be due to this being the’ first time around in life’.
How else to explain the confident success of others highlighting your own abject cluelessness?
Sadly they are ensnared in an intellectual ‘wet paper bag’, comparing progress on a faulty scale and tragically never knowing their talent’s triumph. Life-experiences leading to such subtle concepts deserves better than intellectual impasse, a tenet’s terminus. These sad souls have learned to yield easily, suffering strategic deadlock and failure since childhood.
However, dealing with supreme forms of lifelong frustration creates a resilient intellectual convolution poised to eclipse historically more robust personalities.
Success breeds repetition, but homogenous tactics falter in social ice ages. Brutal people, brittle personalities, so to speak.
These clueless first-timers, "the meek", frequently indulge in lateral intellectual activity. Like pioneers or invaders of the old physical world, they explore Cyber frontiers and sift technological rivers, gaining myriad strategies for as yet unrealized purpose.
The meek might indeed inherit the Earth. If only time was what it seemed, I would dearly love to know if the Christian messiah truly said that! Perhaps enough simulations in humanity’s hereafter will tell.
Pundits, tongue in cheek, claim a typo: "the geek will inherit the earth", as Bill has. Others are sure he meant "the Greek" but Onassis only got the widow.
Meek have always manoeuvred behind the scenes. As brave heart wielded sword the more audacious meek whispered in ears of kings - as Perl does today.
At first simply bulking out armies, meek gained significance when technology handed them the crossbow, gun, missile button … and now keyboard.
Before long the meek will effect power through the Internet akin to nuclear weapons. Your computers already falter in the fallout of rudimentary arms testing.
Cyber weapons to destroy a nation’s infrastructure reside in the hands of the kid next door. Pray he is not morally feeble.
