The Better You Look...The More You See

I suspect there is something to the title, in both obvious meanings.

As well, I've found that being overly smart is often not the way to actually be happy. I'm not going to go so far as to say, being dumb is more fun than being smart...but would you agree that in the airheads you've met in your life, (both male an female) they usually posses a bouncy, happy attitude as if they're having a better time than you?

Over the last few days I've taken the internet-news-product very seriously (in regards to the whole global financial fiasco) and used my brain-powers of logic, imagination, politics, and society...and came up with a whole bunch of stuff that was unsettling. I thought pretty hard about how to "not be unsettled" about the whole affair, and failed miserably.

So instead, I've chosen to go the other direction. There is no "thinking" out of an equation with all negatives, where you might get a positive. Best to think down (or not think-hmm inneresting) to a level where none of these implications matter, and deny that any of them are important, or predictors that have any weight at all.

In that place, it does kinda' matter how good you look.

Then it's a lot easier to find the people who don't look as good.

And from there...well, let's just say, "the more you see."
