My Best Argument for Angels
i may have mentioned this before; But The
Argument for Angels was Restated today while on The Bus.
While coming home from Safeway, where i got 3
DVDs with their Thursday Special, i happened to be listening in on The
Conversation that two other passengers were having.
Both of these Individuals, we might assume, were
of ‘Average’ Intelligence, as neither had The Stance or Bearing of someone that
was clinically retarded.
The Fat woman had in her possession an iPhone
that was given to her by The Bus Driver, as she was an employee of The Spokane
Transit Authority. She was ostensibly taking The iPhone to The Lost & Found
in The Downtown Metro Office.
OK.
So.
While sitting there, The Phone Rang &
instead of Answering it, She took The Considerable Effort ( as this took about
30_seconds ) to Turn The
Phone Off.
i said; ‘You should have answered it.’
The Fat Woman replied; ‘I couldn’t answer it,
because it was locked. If it was The owner of The phone, they could call The
Lost & Found at The Transit Metro Station.’
‘Well; Even though it was locked, you could
still answer it, & The Person that lost it, may not be aware that they lost
it on The Bus.’
‘No.’ She insisted. ‘I could not answer it. It
was locked.’
This Rounded a little, demonstrating that she
was adamant that she could not answer it, because it was locked.
- -
i don’t have an iPhone, so i wasn’t absolutely
certain about this, but i do have an iPod, which i can do a lot of things with,
Even when it’s locked. Such as turn The Music Player On, Jump a Tune Forward or
Back, Change The Volume, & Even Activate The Camera & Take Pictures. i
can even look through all my old pictures!
So i called Apple & they reassured me that
The Phone can in fact be answered, even when it’s locked.
- -
Then i followed up on this a little, because i
was annoyed that The actions taken may well have insured that this phone would
never be returned.
So i called Metro Transit & during this
conversation, i learned that The Lost & Found there receives A Lot of Lost
Phones !
Which is not at all surprising, as nearly
everyone i see is invariably holding onto their phone with one hand. It makes
me crazy to see that. People walking around with a phone or keys or a wallet or
somesuch in a hand.
Such things should be in a pocket or purse or
backpack or fanny-pack.
It makes me additionally crazy that Fanny Packs
are so darn useful, & yet they have acquired a reputation or perception of
being silly looking !
Anyways.
The Customer Service Lady at Metro Transit was
also adamant that had The phone rang in her presence, she was reasonable
certain that she would not know how to answer it. ( ! )
This wasn’t going anywhere.
- -
The lesson is; Don’t lose your expensive Cell
Phone.
- -
My Argument for Angels is;
i have a rather fat IQ & despite this; A lot
of things confuse me.
So i often wonder;
How do Ordinary Featherless Parakeets ( The Damp
Masses ) get along?
How do they ever accomplish anything?
How do they avoid all The Routine Dangers that
present themselves as a never-ending stream of Potential Accidents?
- -
A small Side Issue to this would be :
Just how do The Damp Masses solve ‘Ordinary’
Problems?
These are Problems without ‘Rehearsed’
Solutions.
Many Problems are solved by having been trained
through Classic Pavlovian Conditioning to resolve them, But what about The
Others?
i have observed that a common feature of The
Damp Masses is that they Never Create Original Sentences. They only speak in
Cliches, Repeat lines from Advertisements, or Piece together comments from
Sentence ‘Bins’ which contain all The 3 & 4 word segments that all of their
usual conversations would necessarily be constructed from.
You can determine The Intelligence of someone
with a high degree of accuracy by listening for ‘Original’ Sentence Fragments.
Even a slight deviation from an Ordinary Sentence structure may indicate that
The Speaker has an IQ of 110
or higher.
So Along with that—
How capable is A Person of Average Intelligence
( IQ 100 ) to solver a Unique
Problem with Attentive Trial & Error.
This is The Main Stay of All Problem Solving.
Even very Intelligent Hamsters Solve their most
perplexing conundrums with Trial & Error disguised as Deep Thinking or
System Analysis, but performing many of The Trail & Error Steps with their
imaginations, & very quickly.
But a Traffic Cone; which must work out a Unique
Problem in Meat Space by actually manipulating salt shakers & Lincoln logs;
Just how effect is that method?
i very suspect that they answer is; Not Very.

To which The Answer to The Larger Question is;
The World is Allowed to Remain Functional by
Means of A Constant & Unremitting Intervention of Angelic Overseers.
