Apprehension towards evolution – SJBMCPRS Diagnoses


Disclaimer: The following post on the SJBMCPRS Report is not to be taken overly seriously, and is purposely expressive with an intent to imply the author’s perspective (which people are free to view if they choose to). However, the contents of this post will contain some real-world properties and dark tones, which along with the entirety of this post may be taken as offensive to people.

“Exploring the unknown require tolerating uncertainty”– Brian Greene

 
As a progeny who stagnates from time to time as life’s proverbial roadblocks spontaneously arise, I can only ponder with various emotions and answerless questions about thyself, as well as the possible implications for those people significant to me. Who am I really? What am I capable of? What, if anything will validate my existence? Am I doing the very best I can, or can someone else being me do things right instead of wrong?

 
The best answer I can give at this moment of time to the majority of my questions is; aside of the obvious self-demoralising answers I forever bestow myself with, is one (1) of uncertainty. Putting it simply; “I don’t know”. ...Seems like the easiest answer and response a being could give doesn’t it? Ultimately though, this vague and inconclusive answer and response is significant because I simply cannot be certain of much until I re-evaluate myself with hindsight in the future. Perhaps other people can comprehend this notion of thinking...

 
What makes thyself ponder with countless theoretical possibilities and outcomes, but no definitive answers, is partially due to the growing understanding of thyself. Learning about and comprehending me is an ongoing pilgrimage through the course of my existence, and its one (1) that ought to be hidden away in the restricted section of the library at Hogwarts, so that people don’t uncover and shriek upon learning. For the most part; new information and discoveries have fallen upon the awful sponge that is my brain like droplets of rain across the Sahara. It is an exhaustingly sluggish progress to say the least, maybe the doctors evaluating me at a very young age were right about me having the comprehension and mentality of a toddler by the age of adulthood... The fact of the matter is that every time I encounter a situation ‘good’ or bad’; I learn from it, and that obtained knowledge helps me understand myself a little more, and helps me adapt to oncoming situations. Like a Pikachu presented with a Thunder Stone; I am evolving from my experiences and change accordingly, ...though I don’t process the ability to cast Lightning attacks which sucks!

 
In a nutshell; I evolve as a person just like any other person does through experiences, regardless if I am aware of it happening or not. What’s that? I levelled up to lv.14, by comprehending that as a person I change? Yay! Pokémon references aside though; I am far from wise and done with learning about thyself, the world I exist in, and life in general. I got a long way to go before I can even measure up to a decent human being. As of now; I am content with me being me, even if that means being me is as good as a decomposing carcass in a apartment with the heating turned up high, with all the windows shut, and the Summer heat boosting the temperature to eighty-eight (88) degrees Fahrenheit!

 
And yet; I have certain notions of agitation to the chapters of my life that have yet to be unravelled, or in other words...the future. This is due to being uncertain of what may come and happen, but also from being the speculativre type and growing wary of growing trends like the increasing population across the Earth, overabundance of technology, obesity, debt and so on. Part of me thinks that the potrayal of humanity as moving and talking blobs sitting in flying chairs and consumed with technology in the Pixar film WALL-E is a reality that is becoming more and more likely! 

Aside from having no exact clue of what the future may behold; I am also apprehensive of what my future will be. It’s no secret that I don’t regard myself highly and I am painstakingly aware of potential wrong doings done by me causing disdain upon another person’s life once again. So with that said; I restlessly worry about what the ‘World’s Nemesis’ (me in other words) will evolve into as a person, and as a plaque to society. I (the author) don’t exactly try to hide how I feel about myself or how I perceive the world around me either. If the SJBMCPRS Report has done anything besides prove that there is yet another nutcase in the largest toilet in the known world known as the internet (or ‘interturd’ as I like to call it), spewing expressive nonsense; it is that I am inclined to my own bias and therefore not able to perceive myself as anything other than the worst of the worst. In the llllllloooooooooooooooonnnnnnnggggg time it has taken to compile this particular post; I have created a logo through Microsoft Office PowerPoint to symbolise what I think portrays SJBMCPRS well enough to those who read the SJBMCPRS Report, or have the displeasure of knowing me (I couldn’t exactly find a piece a picture of s*** for the logo...so I improvised).

 
(Record abruptly stopping sound) For those who can’t interpret the SJBMCPRS logo; it is supposed to be a combination of a caution sign (with a hydra pointing downwards and a picture of the Earth beneath portraying the explanation point) and Ouroboros where the hydra is eating its own tail. This is intended to symbolise infinite caution and the notion that SJBMCPRS is depicted as the modern day hydra. The more the know...)

 
Esentially what SJBMCPRS is trying to portray (via posts and the logo) is that I (the author) think of myself as amonstrous blemish on the face of society, and that (no matter how hard I try) no ‘good’ comes out from myintentions or existence. While this sounds like a broken record stuck on loop right now; this is the way I perceive thyself, and I don’t see this changing in the future, regardless of how much or how little I adapt as I grow older. Putting it simply; I do not think there is a rosy future for the modern day hydra/’World’s Nemesis’.

 
What if; hypothetically, a thirty-six (36) year-old, and still stubborn-minded me has the wellbeing of other people to consider and provide for, and be responsible for teaching a younger generation about the ‘rights’ and ‘wrongs’, and how to behave appropriately in given situations. Being unemployed, unhealthy, unmotivated, and abysmal towards society in general, won’t yield any good outcomes that would be beneficial to anyone. In this scenario I would be proving myself to be the worst of the worst and would be letting those closest to me down (which no-one would want to do). What if my ignorance, stubbornness and unwillingness to adapt, makes this possibility a reality?

 
What if; I accomplish nothing and scold everyone and everything around me and because I don’t want to accept nor comprehend anything that has happened, and truly live up to the name of ‘No good, waste of life, lump of s***’, and all the rationalising I muster up tells me I f***ed up everything, and it’s too late to make amends. Is this the person I want to become? What is a future when the rain washes away my presence and my last gasping words do not fulfil forgiveness for my repeated mistakes, or worth?

 
Life was much easier to enjoy when I was younger and in primary school in spite of my blind-stupidity and difficulties learning; because I couldn’t comprehend thyself or much of the ongoing things around me. It was accepted that I would cry when things got out of hand or certain things didn’t agree with me, like a poem I wrote and decided to decorate in spite of it upsetting me when my work was unaccepted by the teacher. I had help to get me through my difficulties, learn, and develop at a pace that agreed with me.  Nowadays though; the younger version of me who had a torn hamstring in one (1) of my legs, wouldn’t be crying about the pain, but instead would be crying at the monstrosity I evolved into.

 
Being the person I am today; I realise that though I couldn’t do anything about the way I developed, and nor can I change the past (because the TARDIS in Doctor Who doesn’t exist in reality), I was both fortunate and hindered by my ignorance. With hindsight I am put in an unfavourable position because I could not grasp the concepts of growing up when the majority of people at my age at the time could and did. I couldn’t evolve into a person that I respect or like when I look at myself via a mirror, and I feel that I will undoubtedly think thyself that way in the near future. And given the ever growing complexity of life, and the fact I am still trying to catch up and trying to accept that the world and thyself isn’t black and white; I don’t have much optimism or certainty for the oncoming chapters of my life.     

 
Will I be monstrous; will I be foul. Here’s what ‘they’ said to me. Que Sera, Sera. Whatever will be will be. The future’s not ours, to see. (An abridgment of Doris Day’s Whatever will be, will be song published in 1956.)

 
The reality is; as the Doris Day song implies, it is uncertain what the future has instore for the ‘World’s Nemesis’, let alone anyone else (unless there are legitimate fortune tellers who CAN predict the future out there in existence). While I don’t believe the Earth, and humanity will be hampered by nuclear fallout, the overabundance of religious foreshadowing, or overrun by aliens; nothing is entirely ‘impossible’, and life is most certainly unpredictable. Even so; one (1) can’t simply wait for time, happenstances and circumstances to write the next chapter and bestow the spoils that are wished or hoped for; the future one (1) desires has to be made to happen. A rich man can wish to be even richer in the near future, but saying it doesn’t make it happen; there are various factors both within the control of the wishful rich man and not that affect an outcome, though painstaking effort and devotion does increase the odds of fulfilment. In other words; expressing how I want to evolve into a decent human being and prove to be not a ‘No good, waste of life, lump of s***’, but someone who can do some ‘good’; isn’t going to cut the mustard. I have to use the abilities, attributes, knowledge and understanding I have accumulated thus far to make the most of what I’ve got and build upon those foundations to adapt to the oncoming and unknown future ahead.  

 
Alas, expressing one’s intention and effort to make something happen doesn’t always yield the exact satisfactory outcome desired. There are countless variables and factors that have influence upon happenstances and circumstances that may or may not affect you directly. The future while predictable through understanding trends and exploration, can be just as uncertain as a change in the weather in spite of weather forecasts implying something different based on data. Thus there is an unknown quality that cannot be comprehended as precisely as the prophecy told by a trio of witches in the story and play Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Nothing in life is as certain as a story like Macbeth because a story is something that is created through direct influence and can be portrayed exactly as the author wants, whereas life has only two (2) conclusive points; the beginning of one’s life, and his/her death.

 
I dislike surprises because the unpredictability of a surprise or sudden event interrupts the progress and flow of life that I know, can comprehend and to an extent manage. A surprise is a happenstance that can cause inconsistencies or problems in the same way as having more components in an engine of a car; makes the engine less reliable, because if one (1) component falters or fails then the whole engine is compromised and no longer running at a hundred percent (100%) efficiently. Unfortunately, I am not exempt from the countless influences, which means my efforts to adapt to and tolerate the ever changing flow of existence may still be in vein because something beyond my control can happen and come to me a surprise or shock and affect me subsequently. Just like everyone else in existence then; I am not completely in control.

 
So what can one (1) do other than keep a stiff upper lip, or keep calm in the face of an uncertain future, and the proverbial roadblocks that popup either now and again or spontaneously? The only answer I can think of quite frankly is to accept the unknown qualities and growing to tolerate uncertainties so that thyself is prepared for life’s proverbial roadblocks, thus resisting the knock-on effect of a surprise or sudden event has when they occur.

 
Thankfully; the numerous resources available on the internet (once you get passed all the haters, popups, false virus warnings, and senseless petitions that flood it), can be of use, as can the contents within book publications, TV, radio and so on, to give insights, tips, and stories that may help educate and prepare one (1) for possible eventualities.

 
(Record abruptly stopping sound) …Just be wary about what you are being told through written and spoken words via physical media like newspapers, books, pamphlets, videos, podcasts, songs etc. because all forms of interaction are susceptible to confirmation bias. It is crucial to have an understanding of what your searching for, and the ability to subtract the useful parts of information from any resource that may be inaccurate due to differences in interpretation and objective.  

 
One such resource I uncovered was the Myers-Briggs personality assessment, which a test consisting of questions that determine what personality type out of sixteen (16) and traits the person doing the assessment has. In a desire to understand myself better; I did the assessment for free, and ten (10) or so minutes later, I was indicated to be in the INFJ personality category. According to this assessment; an INFJ translates as ‘Introvert, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging’, and I have to say the explanations of the INFJ personality type does resonate with me, and identifies traits that I did not recognise until reading about it. This results of the assessment expresses that the INFJ personality type is more likely to speculate about matters, detect patterns beyond given explanations, make decisions based on personal values, and makes detailed plans.   

 
Now does this mean I’m going to open the closest window and yell out ‘I AM AN INFJ!’ like Lisa Simpson does in She of Little Faith (episode six (6) of season thirteen (13)) when announces herself as a Buddhist? Heck no! That would make me as bad as those people with the shortest fuses who blow up and write hateful comments and say ‘so and so is a.....’ because they take things out of context to get offended! (...Seriously this is just one (1) example of why humanity annoys me so much, and why I think the boom of social media is not a step in the right direction in terms of technologic and social evolution.)                

 
Instead; what I thought I would do is explain how best I deal with knock-backs when I feel deflated (sad), and make myself feel better. How do I do that? By writing fan-fiction. As an author of fan-fiction that is only intended for self-satisfaction and escape from the endless well of low self-esteem, and nonsense which is consuming and heating the world quicker then climate change; I create context for fictional characters in fictional worlds that encounter situations not-unlike those encountered in reality, and delve ever deeper into the colourful attributes that define the characters and their worlds. Recently however, I crafted a moment of actualisation through words and exploration that is palpable within the fictional existence, and causes thyself to ponder about his own situations. The following is an extract from one (1) of my fan-fictions: Corpse Party -Remnants of Nirvana-. (Please note the change in text size and font is deliberate to identify the extract from the post. Plus, the font in italic in the extract is to imply Naomi’s inner thoughts.)

 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
Naomi: My heart plummets a little upon being reminded of how generally harsh and curt I have been to Seiko. I wonder why I have acted the way I do when really all Seiko does is play around and think of me. Seiko doesn’t deserve the unfair treatment I give to her in return. I realise now that I need to improve on this distasteful behaviour of mine before it goes too far and I lose Seiko as a friend for life.

Seiko: “Cheer up Naomi, I don’t want you feel upset by what I said. It’s a give and take kind-of thing we have”

Naomi: “How so?” Seiko must have seen my distraught expression, and figured out why I was feeling glum. 

Seiko: “I give as much to you as you give to me. We do as much as we can together when we get the time, like go to the hairdresser’s, ride our bikes, and dress up! And we both cross that line at times, me more so. But that’s a good thing because what I take from our exchanges is an understanding of how much you are prepared to tolerate, that in turn teaches me about how to push the limits without going so far that you hate me for the rest of our lives”

Naomi: “You sure do push the boundaries” Though there is never any mean spirit at all and they are great to look back on and laugh.

Seiko: “Indeed I do, but there’s a reason. If I don’t make attempts to express what I really want to express, then I’m lying not just to myself but to you as well. You Naomi do the same thing, you’re just better at hiding it and don’t do it as much. Relationships adapt and grow, and the best and longest relationships constantly push and push to establish a greater understanding and bond. But a relationship without crossing the lines, is one that stagnates and ends badly”

Naomi: “Wait, I’m confused. Are you saying that we have to have this back and forth for our relationship to last?”

Seiko: “Yup, its human nature Naomi. Whether it’s a friendship, or a relationship where people fall in love with one another, it grows and changes just like we do as people”

Naomi: “Does this mean you occasionally land yourself in trouble with me on purpose?”

Seiko: “No not on purpose, I just have an unbreakable attraction to you, and I can’t often help myself”

Naomi: I blush and chuckle. “Don’t I know it” You’re so energetic, and always seem to have the biggest blast being with me. So why do I push her back when Seiko is just being Seiko? My moment of fluster is all but wiped away.

Seiko: “Aside from my infatuation getting a little out of control at times; what I said about how we interact and engage is built on the basis of human nature. We don’t realise it beyond a subconscious level, but it’s there, and every relationship develops from how people respond to one another. Take for example the thorny relationship of the Class rep and Kishinuma; do you think she’ll stay angry at Kishinuma forever because he has upset her?”

Naomi: “No, I think Class rep is willing to acknowledge that Kishinuma’s suspicion was justified, but is having a hard time accepting her flaws. She’ll resent Kishinuma for a while, but in the end Shinozaki will realise that Kishinuma was right and acknowledge his loyalty to her”

Seiko: “Right, which in turn will make Class rep more likely to trust Kishinuma in the future, thus the relationship grows because the line was crossed and both will learn how to improve themselves and their relationship from this situation”

Naomi: “What if the Class rep doesn’t learn from this however; what if this is a line that has been crossed too far and Shinozaki cannot trust Kishinuma ever again?”

Seiko: “Then it’s her loss, because a guy like Kishinuma who can think for himself and save her life like he did last night, is a keeper in my book”

Naomi: I was agreeing with Seiko at every step, but I HAD to take a moment to process everything she said. Her words are so honest and overwhelming, and I no choice but to believe Seiko, even if my mind is overworked. “Wow... You covered a lot of psychological knowhow just now. I think my brain is overcooked!”

Seiko: “He, he! Don’t worry about it Naomi”

Naomi: I feel Seiko’s left arm and hand extending over my left shoulder.

Seiko: “You just continue being you, I’ll continue being me, and we’ll get along famously”

Naomi: Despite my guilt for treating Seiko so poorly was persistently causing me to resent myself, I do feel better upon Seiko enlightening me about the ways that a relationship works, and not being mad at me or pulling any punches for being treated so badly, even though she has every right to. I must take this to heart and treat Seiko fairly in order for Seiko and I to grow closer and stronger. For a start, I extent my right arm and hand over Seiko’s right shoulder to complete the side by side embrace Seiko started.

Seiko: “That’s my right shoulder Naomi”

Naomi: “Yeah”

Seiko: “Shouldn’t your hand be grabbing my pooper instead?”

Naomi: Both Seiko and I laugh. “Oh right, because that’s now my thing I do apparently, grabbing dat ass of yours”

Seiko: “I would grab hold of yours. It’s such a pretty sight and swanky”

Naomi: “Go on then”

Seiko: “Really?”

Naomi: “Yeah really. You allowed me to a couple of days ago. It’s only fair that I give you the same privilege”

Seiko: “Yay!”

Naomi: Seiko immediately placed her left hand on my ass, and relished on rubbing my backside. I was doing the same to Seiko’s backside, and it no longer felt at all strange or embarrassing for me. As perverted as this was, it is fun to play along with this habit that Seiko loves so much. It feels good to have Seiko by my side. It really feels good.

Seiko: “You’re taking what I said to heart”

Naomi: “I am, I want our relationship to evolve and last forever”

Seiko: “And it will. It will”

That concludes the extract from the working progress of my fan-fiction interpretation of the Corpse Party series, known as Corpse Party -Remnants of Nirvana-. I expect numerous reactions ranging from ‘What the...what the f*** was that?’, to ‘I don’t not have a clue what’s going on’, and reactions befitting the short fused types that will bang on about ‘That’s filth! You are a disgusting piece of s***! How dare you desecrate the genius source material!’. I may also here things like ‘This is devaluing women as nothing more than fan service for the perverted male mind!’, and angry responses left and right regardless of how I explain myself.

 
...But I will do so regardless. Firstly; the extract provided above is fan-fiction, and there is NO intention of publishing it to the public. It is for my own amusement and helps develop my creative writing skills. Secondly, the extract is based on a multiverse principle where Corpse Party -Remnants of Nirvana- diverts from a Wrong Ending just like Corpse Party Book of Shadows does in the official timeline and story, and thus exists in a nexus that is parallel to the official story. Thirdly; I wish to explore more possibilities and make the entire series (apart from Musune, Another Child, and Zero) connect despite the likes of -The Anthology- Sachiko no Ren’ai Yugi Hysteric Birthday 2U being considered a spin-off title. I am a fan of the Corpse Party series and I wish simply to have fun putting my own spin on the story, that is all.

 
...Now I wait for the barrage of hate to rain down upon me, because despite my explanation, people who only listen to want they want to hear will use parts taken out of context to ‘validate’ their ‘anger’ and lead brainless followers in the ‘crusade for righteousness’ or some kind of nonsense. History has shown that there are people out there that will get on their high-horse and express impressive sounding words and slogans they looked up to make them sound forceful when really they’ve left their common sense back at home and have no idea how dippy they are making a commotion about something which compared to the likes of the EU, acts of terrorism is minute. You think I’m kidding? Just go and look upon reactions from the ‘SJW’, and people who just band together and stir up a s*** storm because they’re feelings are hurt. Frankly I rolled my eyes upon learning of the backlash against James Rolfe for his video explaining why he won’t be seeing or reviewing the 2016 Ghostbusters film. James Rolfe explained himself clearly why he is not interested in the film and he didn’t condemn the film in any matter, he was professional, not in any of his characters like the Angry Video Game Nerd, and yet...the reactions were OTT and face-palm awful. Now it’s not just James Rolfe being attacked; many people have been attacked this way on different matters this through various forms of media before and after this transpired, like politicians. Frankly I’m getting a little sick of seeing it, and though it doesn’t affect me, it does make me aware of it every time I watch or hear something and I foresee a backlash coming. Yes, people are allowed their opinions, their beliefs etc. and I have expressed my opinions here and there. BUT stuff like this is just plain awful. To these types of people; wake up and look at the world, and learn to keep your opinions to ourselves and shut the f*** up about insignificant matters.

 
So now that I have expressed my displeasure in the paragraph above, I will mention that the purpose of sharing the extract from my Corpse Party -Remnants of Nirvana- fan-fiction with this post is not to self-advertise, but to show a form of evolution between the characters Naomi Nakashima and Seiko Shinohara for the most part. I felt this is relevant given the topic of evolution in this post (though Charles Darwin won’t be pleased because this post talked about personal evolution and the uncertainties of not knowing what the future may provide, then the theory of evolution). Of course I am aware that there are readers who may not know about the Corpse Party series, which is fine; I won’t huff, and I won’t puff, and blow house down because of it, I’m not a wolf in a fable and no pigs actually live in houses, unless we start considering Americans...

Now before I get chased down and pulverised into so many tiny particles, that Weymouth could use as sand for the beach; I shall conclude this post. I apologise for this post taking a llllllloooooooooooooooonnnnnnnggggg time to come out; I needed the extra time to prepare my secret bunker so I can escape to and evade the wrath of the people I have potentially offended! Kidding aside; this post was somewhat a head-scratcher to create along with the logo design. Hopefully the next post won’t take so long to produce, but I won’t make any promises. Until next time, see ya!
