Yawn
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by tiredness. Something like that. I'm so tired I don't even know what "generation" is supposed to be "mine." I do know that the closer I get to final eternity, the less interested I become in the imaginary rewards thereof, and the more tired I become of seeing young men in the prime of life getting all worked up about stuff like somebody "dissing" their tired form of madness consisting of imaginary virgins to die for that await them in their hellish "paradise." (I suppose the younger you die, the less Viagra you need up there in such sickeningly heavenly hellholes.) I am so damned tired of being logical in the face of tired insanity that I have no choice but to continue my tired and insane logic in the face of tired and illogical insanity. But what could be more tiredly insane than the persistence of logic in the face of emotion? Eternity? Spare me. I'd do almost anything to avoid having to spend eternity in the company of people like this:
Offended insensitive sensitivities overwhelm the senses with tiredness.
Tiredness of senses leads to the sense that makes no sense. Um, yeah! I guess I did say that. Yawning is hell. posted by Eric on 09.16.06 at 07:30 AM |

Your observation that "an entire generation of today's intellectuals had their psyches shaped by... intimidation" caught my eye.
"Fear societies, heavy and lite" is one of the ur-themes of my own blog:

Former dissidents of fear societies like Natan Sharansky managed to come out the other side of intimidation with common sense intact. Might there not be survivors of the West's p.c. intimidation regime to come out refined by fire as well?
Indeed there are. Oriana Fallaci, Christopher Hitchens and a host of bloggers like neo-neocon, whose "A Mind is a Difficult Thing to
Change" series -- http://neo-neocon.blogspot.com/2005/02/mind-is-
difficult-thing-to-change-part.html -- is a blow-by-blow account from the front, come to mind.
Now get some sleep, and you'll feel better in the morning. :-)
