I don’t blog to be liked.  I blog as a means of reducing others to mere objects of my will and authority. I also blog because I crave alpha-male status and, at <strong><a href="http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/">The Confluence</a></strong>, I am not only the sole male front-pager, I am also the only resident clown. On second thought, allow me amend that. I am the only Conflucian, man or woman, who actually wears greasepaint.</p>
<p>I didn’t come here because I was lonely and wanted to make new friends.  I started blogging because I am intellectually two-dimensional, with a compulsive need to inflict my egoistic nature on other people, while benefitting from absolute and hypocritical impunity.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve intentionally externalized my obnoxious persona and chosen an ugly homicidal clown as my avatar because I love to indulge in what Alduous Huxley once referred to as &#8220;transcendental role-paying,&#8221; wherein I may indulge a pathological need for attention without having to take responsibility for the messes I create. Philosophically, I&#8217;m a tautologist, and my arguments are daisy chains of naked self-aggrandizement.  I don’t want people to like me because they agree with me, I want them to agree with me despite the fact that I&#8217;m a shallow sexist asshole.</p>
<p>If Person A says 2 + 2 = 4 and Person B says 2 + 2 = 3 then I will say that Person A will most likely enjoy having my meatprod shoved down her throat and that Person B is most likely in a constant state of sobbing, reasoning that Person A is a cute little Wiccan and Person B is mentally ill former PUMA who thinks she&#8217;s Wonder Woman.  And I’m not going to change my position even if all my other friends side with Person B.  It’s not about how I feel about Person A or Person B, it’s that I am an insufferable paranoid douche bag who enjoys dressing up like the clown I suspect that most women have always believed me to be.</p>
<p>I’m not claiming to be infallible but if I have to choose between being right and being liked then I will forever remain a poster clown for Jung&#8217;s observation that  &#8221;that which has not been resolved, gets projected.&#8221; </p>
<p>I can live with that.</p>
