Thought Dumping

I read a book a long time ago called Microserfs in which the main character occasionally dumps the contents of his brain into his computer. You end up with these pages in the book that have random, seemingly unconnected words or phrases that litter the page in different fonts and sizes. I really enjoyed reading them and looking at his thoughts, so I'm going to continue doing them sometimes.

sometimes i see myself as an asshole.
i'll occasionally grab a bit of self-awareness and realize some of the things i do and say every day and just because i almost never see effects doesnt mean there arent any
it seems horrible the way that i treat others and if i was someone else watching myself (which i think about frequently) then oh god would i hate myself?
perhaps i am nothing more than a hypocrite
are we not all oxymoronic in our frantic quests to institute rules that will prevent us from devolving and following our baser courses?
"if only i had more willpower" is a frequent cry of those who live in our world
more than ever before, we have more resources than willpower to control our urge for consumption
there are only two possible courses for humanity to follow in my mind, either we continue with our consumption and new forms of creation until limitless supply of anything is neccesary, thereby creating a colossal cultural change in humanity as a whole
what if you could replicate food like on star trek? poverty/starvation solved
otherwise we will develop massive willpower and transcend our weak-willed current minds
homo sapiens voluntas, as in:
the power to control ourselves
somehow i doubt it
nobody is motivated enough
i would not be suprised at the supression of a way to supply goods cheaply to all
after all, can you profit with no demand?
the human condition is so depressing
i am a nihilist today.
