...and by the way, I really hate that name...
A Facebook entity calling itself “Spirit Science” (I’m sure someone thought that was clever) has been creating memes lately that I have taken great delight in mocking. This meme of theirs appeared yesterday.
I lampooned it, as you can clearly see...but then I thought twice about posting it. After all, I’ve been doing that sort of thing fairly regularly lately, calling “Spirit Science” to task for essentially doing what I do every day...pretending wisdom. Perhaps, I thought, it’s time to cut them a little slack.
But the truth is that the “Spirit Science” meme factory annoys me, and for several reasons.
First, I rather object to the name “Spirit Science”, not just because it’s oxymoronic but because it’s annoying in the same way that someone yammering on and on about balancing your aura with the right combination of crystals, herbal tea and traditional Tibetan chanting is annoying.
Second, their lame platitudes (and trust me, I know lame) are formulaic and easily lampooned, and not terribly original.
Third, spouting pseudo-philosophical bullshit on Facebook is my turf. I was here first.
Of course, they’re always welcome to put a shot over my bow if they wish; I am easily as lampoon-able as they are. But I rather think that these people (I have no idea who “they” are) think themselves above that sort of thing, and above paying the likes of me any attention in any case.
But I have no such pretensions. I am more than happy play the shit-flinging monkey at their tea party.
Well, someone has to do it…
