#I am being extremely critical. of everyone. very strongly. 


through the eyes of a chameleon


asch and milgram experiment. argumentum ad populum. three men make a tiger.

I wonder if he hates us chameleons. Everyone seem to do it. These creatures, these human beings, they just belive what they are told. When they have a sufficient number of nods, they somehow assign a factual veracity to it, even when the evidence points to none.  Look at him, staring at me in disgust. I wonder if he is aware of my disgust too, at his hypocrisy- with his frayed t-shirt and poorly washed jean staring at me with his four eyes, looking at things with callous disregard, yet seemingly appearing to be concerned. This conceit in his eyes, what is it for? Why is he dull and gloomy when he is this well? I have seen the little boy with the bucket of wheat paste(gondhu) and posters of politicians and little girls posing for appollo computer education, who is happier than this well fed, well clothed little twit.

nonconsequentialist reasoning. Morally acceptable. Trying to do the right thing.


What do they want? what is your search really about? Is it about doing the right thing? Is it about the ends justifying the means? Are these humans so stupid that they don't see what they are, and keep trying continuously to become something better, ultimately complicating their lives even more?  I used to travel a lot, and I must admit, this well dressed pompous lot never seems to be satisfied, and is always in a hurry to do something else. Idiots. Them and their obnoxious consumerism. Bah, I am repulsed.

information cascade.

You ass. See what you are doing here? if you don't like whatever it is that you are doing, leave. don't do it. Maybe you might not have money to dress yourself like a doll, or to eat expensive food, but you will be happy. Keep acting like this, and the society will look at you like you look at me. Do you think anybody ever cares? Don't waste your time thinking about what other snobs like you might think. You are a little more than that. 

That's the biggest problem you all have created for yourselves is not money. Its greed. You creatures don't know the first bloody thing about contentment. You always want more. I am tired of this lot. 

Take a look at the rain drops. Look how beautiful it is. Have you noticed the little flower on a plant that sprang from the crack of the dilapidated indian bank building? look at that ayodhya benefit fund shutter, its not closed properly on one side! And that maligai kadai annachi who opens shop at 6 30 am, with a packet of marie biscuits at the front counter that is as old as the paati who sells maavudu next to the bus stand. They are people too, they have lives too. But they are normal. Its these well educated ones that annoy me, look at him looking at me. Your education should have brought humility. No, its sheer arrogance and a of complete lack of perspective, that is what your education has done to you. 

'The patterns of communication hard-wired into our brains rely on there being another person's voice, facial expressions , emotions and an associated environment of trust, loyalty and cooperation... This is an important reason why we still have teachers-why we cannot tell our children to simply sit down and read books or rely on computer-aided instruction.'-Robert Shiller, Irrational Exuberance.

All the theories that you see above have been used for explaining people's behavior in influencing markets, from the book irrational exuberance. 


Cheers.


ps:
Yes, I am another one of those obnoxious consumerists. No, I am not trying to prove a point or anything.
