The subject this time: Self-Involvement
Today on the www.dont-be-a-hero.com blog we get personal. Sometimes people feel the need to get involved in their own lives to do things like "taking good care of themselves". Today we'll inspect ways to avoid being involved in your own personal welfare.
Lesson 1: Outsourcing...
If you find yourself needing food for example, don't get involved; get someone else to. Lucky for you, not everyone is as adept at not getting involved. With little more than a few button presses and a a few words you can often have foods delivered to you, most commonly from Chinese and Pizza restaurants. Sure you could go get it yourself, but you don't want to be a hero.
Lesson 2: Indifference...
If you find yourself acquiring diabetes and your doctor tells you there are multiple dietary changes you can make and supplements etc. you can take to help your body heal itself, you find that to be a bit too involved. Instead, carry on with your normal routine, and accept the now inevitable insulin coma and or death. Better that than getting involved in one's own personal health.
Lesson 3: Self Control...
If you find that most of your food has been genetically compromised, as the majority of all food (In the USA) without the "Non-GMO" certification is, you might be tempted to get involved in auditing and changing your dietary habits. You might want to even get your kids real peanut butter. Your friends might suggest you buy things like filling, nutritious, NON-GMO, soy-free, delicious protein bars in bulk so you can actually afford them. But this can get quite involved, requiring that you read labels and throw stuff out and go buy Non-GMO certified real food etc. Don't be a hero. Just swallow whatever has a flashier package. Never mind people or professors telling you about things like "lateral gene transfer".
Lesson 4: Relax...
Sometimes you may find yourself in the company of a healthier smarter individual that encourages you to exercise and take care of yourself. Clearly they want to be a hero. Don't be a hero. Relax and tell them to chill out and eat some genetically compromised corn and soy products. Enjoy watching your gut get fatter as your muscles atrophy to the point you need a scooter to get around.
Lesson 5: Dependence...
Every once in a while you may feel the desire to become independent and grow your own food, produce your own electricity, etc. Again people, please don't be a hero. If you try that you'll have to you know, do stuff. Let farmers and electricians get involved with that stuff.
Lesson 6: Ignore Stuff
When's the last time you heard about a CDC whistle-blower confessing to fraud; doctoring data to cover up the fact the MMR vaccine does in fact increase the incidence of Autism? Never? Ok well, if you ever hear it in the news, ignore that. Otherwise you might be tempted to get involved in holding the responsible parties accountable for giving millions of children a debilitating illness.
Until next time, don't be a hero folks!

ReplyDeleteThis is bullshit, the owner of this blog should be murdered.
ReplyDeleteYou should be castrated. What's bullshit is a mentally deficient person like you saying people should be murdered. If you were capable of rational thought and had a problem with what I said you could articulate your problem in the comments, but clearly you'd rather spam the comments like this.
ReplyDeleteHello. I'm just curious about how taking care of yourself is getting "too involved".
ReplyDeleteGuys, IT'S A JOKE!!!! IT'S A HILARIOUS JOKE!!! If you don't get it, then go and be a hero somewhere by throwing out you GMO modified food. And the rest of us will be laughing at you.
ReplyDeleteI see GMO popping up a lot in your texts :P Well, I guess it's currently a big topic for some people with nothing better to do, I never heard of it before though, because I don't want to get involved. Isn't it pretty natural to modify stuff? Humanity did it all the time over the years, although not with "science" and everything gets genetically mutated/modified over time. Most of the food we have today are results of some form of a genetic modification, hell, humans are naturally mutated over the ages, along with everything else. I don't see how artificially speeding that process up or changing it suddenly makes GMO super scary and super dangerous.
ReplyDeleteI mean, I haven't died yet, neither have anyone else from GMO, unless they choked on it or ate something they were allergic to. So... I'll just keep on eating what's available, ain't got the time to be picky about something that is surely safe and most of the truly good stuff is genetically modified :P People just want to have something to yap about and then they try to prove their delusions are correct, wouldn't surprise me if they died an early death from being picky eaters and lacking proper nutrition.
I swear, they probably think that GMO contains a virus that is slowly building up like the loading windows of really old computers, and when it reaches 100%, they will spontaneously combust and explode, taking everyone they love with them. Perhaps they will also turn into zombies... Combusting zombies... Yeah, that sounds great. Apocalypse, here I come, I guess I'll have to play the role as the zombie though.
All your shiny links to stuff made me get involved in GMO(never knew it was such a big deal to some people, I did know that they genetically engineer food to make it better though), but I'm on the somewhat neutral "I don't give a fck, what're you on about" side, so I guess it's fine. I'm going with the "don't get involved more than necessary" style, so I'll just try to forget about it, it's not as if I'm going to change my eating habits because a few lunatics are screaming at each other about whether or not they have the balls to eat food that may be potentially dangerous yet has no real supporting facts to support it.
ReplyDeleteI always did consider my food might be dangerous, someone with a horrible disease could've spat in it(we all know what dissatisfied people at a restaurant MIGHT do with our food if they dislike us), it might be poisoned, perhaps it's rotten yet I don't notice and I will vomit until I beg for the sweet release of death, maybe my tap water could've been poisoned by a maniac aiming for a massacre... Oh, so many "what ifs". I might also get stabbed or run over by a car tomorrow or be in any other accident and therefore I would've tormented myself with horrible food in vain(well, I never did so it's all well and good for me). keeping in shape is all well and good, but why should you care that much about minor details? Live your life man, don't be afraid of the small stuff.
To summarize, it's better to not get involved. Just don't care so much :D
Thanks for reading/commenting. Been off-grid so sorry it took so long to publish/reply. Glad you've enjoyed some of it.
DeleteFYI There's plenty of geneticists that consider GMO food to be a open-air experiment with potentially serious long-term consequences. Ph.D. geneticist Dr.John Latham comes to mind. Not delusional, or a lunatic, he's actually genetically engineered stuff and understands the technologies and has read the independent studies that suggest they may cause your grandkids to be sterile. If you can listen to a 45min lecture from a Ph.D. geneticist you could look him up on youtube. Also blasting genes from unrelated species like bacteria into food crops is not a mutation/hybrid. Those aren't forms of genetic engineering and all the non-industry-funded data suggests it's a bad idea with bad methodology(collateral damage). And no, you probably won't die immediately unless something like StarLink corn with alien allergens never seen on Earth go wild. You might get diabetes though and not be able to prove it was resulting from GMO. It's much more prolific in the US though so I can understand not getting involved especially if nobody around you has been getting chronic diseases or cancers. And GMOs don't taste better btw. Mostly they're made to just produce BT toxin or soak up glyphosate.
Lol. American Dad brought me here
