Introduction ...... Better late than never!
I forgot to do an introductory post when I first joined Steemit a year ago. Lately Im finding more time to contribute and I'm thoroughly enjoying the experience. So many enlightened and interesting people to interact with. Anyway I reached 100 followers so I thought now is the time to present an introduction and here as a treat is what I believe to be the greatest personal introduction the world has ever seen ...... Take away Mr Carlin
So who is the Gamma Rat? .... Some years ago, scientists experimenting with rats categorised the vast majority of their subjects as 'Beta' rats. These were normal hardworking rats who did all the really important things that keep a society going. The other main category of Rats making up around 1% were the 'Alpha' rats, caviar eating, champagne swilling, yacht owning elites who generally lorded it over the Betas. This pretty well-corresponded with the way the researchers thought the world worked.
But as the rat society began to desend into chaos they were surprised to find a third type of rat emerge .... 'The Gamma Rat'. This creature staked out a territory and chose the pick of the litter for a mate, like the Alpha, but didn't attempt to dominate the rest of society. The Gamma pushed values of freedom and equality and began to expose the control system of the "Alphas' and to wake the 'Betas' up to the fact that really they were all Gamma Rats!
My guess is that as society becomes more repressive, more and more chaotic, Gamma people will tune in to the problem and rise up to the challenge of finding the solution ......
Welcome to Steem @gamma-rat I have sent you a tip
I think we have a way to go yet until enough gamma-rats rise up. Yes, more are slowly waking up and listening, but are they truly hearing?
I tried for years pushing the same arguments, exposing the alphas for the manipulators that they are. But too many just carried on swimming with the current...they don't want to step out of the comfort zone.
I find your posts intriguing. They are what I already know and have stufied for myself. Enlightening enslaved masses is quite another thing as I have painfully and frustratingly learned.
I only saw your latest post tonight, and so decided to read them back to the beginning.
Being a Gamma-rat is not a choice, its a calling. Too many people get transfixed on "waking" others up, its not really about that to me its about trying to live as free as possible .... Take Nicholson in one Flew Over the Cuckoos nest, his martyrdom only actually wakes up one of the inmates but he had no choice but to be a martyr it was simply in his nature to be rebelious and non conformist, if people follow great if not go down fighting alone!
I was labelled "too progressive" in my ideas and "fanciful" at school, a non-conformist. I just "am", and what others think doesn't particularly bother me.
I chose to remove myself from the daily grind and live pretty much in solitude now where I can study in peace at my own pace.
Well good for you I hope it all goes well , solitude is healthy if you ask me

You are a very complex man, and far far more intelligent than myself!!!
Your a self confessed contrarian so i'll take that as irony lol .... my only aim in life is to be more intelligent than Boris Johnson , its a long hard road but I'm determined to succeed ;)
LOL!
Yes it is likely to to take many years to surpass his intellect!!
Carlin & Krishnamurti in the same post! true masters of mind and spirit. If that's not worthy of a resteem I don't know what is .. onwards and upwards for you my friend!
Thanks alot .... maybe we could use DNA splicing technology and bring back a hybrid version of the 2 legends .... we could call him "Rufus KrishnaCarlin" .... what do you think?
Add a spinkling of Alan Watts and we could be onto a winner .. plus we could even get a doubled barrelled name out of it .. "Rufus KrishnaCarlin Watts"!
haha I like it , I very nearly put Alan Watts in there but didnt want to post two videos , you know where he talks about music and life and not rushing to the last note but dancing while the music plays .....
I know exactly the one you mean, funnily enough, I was actually allowing my mind to drift away to Alan Watts (The master of metaphysical mystery) when I noticed your introduction post.
A bit of synchromystecism there .... the glitch in the matrix! Alan watts is my absolute favourite philosopher , i'll certainly be including his wisdom in some of my future posts.
Agreed, His words are a metaphysical/psychedelic comfort blanket that free my mind from the shackles of societal repression, and I wrap myself in it often.
Beautifully put .... I take it you like Terence Mckenna too?
