on Beauties and Bimbettes
beauty or bimbette?
The aforepictured has been included in the ‘top 10 most beautiful bloggers’ list, or something to that effect, by ‘Gizmodo’ - a foreign ‘tech’ site – well, one cannot expect to much from ‘techies’, by way of perspectival intelligence, I suppose.
I suppose it take a greater mind to confuse ‘beauty’ with ‘personality’ – intelligence, humanity, wisdom, sensuality, spirituality, and basically all that illustrates the different facets of the human persona. (in this sense, xia xue and others of her ilk are little more than bimbettes who are deemed 'beautiful' by equally decrepit perspectival retards comprising a significant proportion of the masses.) When one develops beyond the miniscule limits imposed by this ‘modern’/americanised experience of reality, one would reach a realm where one, putting it in terms which the simple-minded folk, aka ‘singaporeans’, would understand, would fail to get ‘turned on’ unless the individual possessed an appreciable degree of the aforementioned qualities.
It, however, takes a lesser mind
...to get ‘turned on’ simply by attributes such as symmetry – between one half of the face and the other – particular and promoted skin tones/body types within a particular space and time. Those whom are susceptible to such ‘preferred’ types have little claim to individuality. They are, if truth be told, little more than impressionable victims of the influences crisscrossing our sensorial and experiential purview within a particular space and/or time.
Just because we started off, evolutionarily speaking, as animals, does not mean that we have to continue along this path – as evidenced by the masses instinctually appreciating particular body types, features or tints…moronic/gizmodic nominations. It is the ability to transcend our current perspectival state via imagination, critical introspection and reflection that distinguishes us from the non-human animal kingdom. Human beings ought not to allow social influences to determine their instinctual content. If so, then they are nothing more than animals with different (programmed/instinctual) tastes. An informed and intelligent ‘preference’ is the result of attempts to transcend the boundaries laid by the accepted influences of any time.
As the saying goes,
*“When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” The appreciation of the idea of evolution ought not to be confined to the historical study of humanity. Rather, evolution goes on within each and every one of us. Reaching adulthood is not a validation of the end of evolution within us. In fact, adulthood is the time when we have the potential to engage in open-eyed evolution – that is, we are supposed to be able to increasingly engage in intelligent critique and critical introspection. That is when we are supposed to be able to distinguish the good from the bad without and within, or at least make more informed, intelligent and objective attempts to do so. That is when we are supposed to reevaluate the sense of all that we have learnt to appreciate – despite our being able to hold down a job and earn wads of money(most people tend to think that this latter ability is a validation of their having become ‘mature’ adults. The truth of the matter is that all they have achieved is ‘use-value’ which is just one component of ‘human value’.) Thus, in my adulthood, I question after sense of my sensibilities rather than see my adulthood as a validation of the said sensibilities. It is this that validates my adulthood and maturity.

Maturity is not a state of knowing.
It is a state of knowing that all that is known to be fact may be fictional.

Just because there aren’t any awards
...for ‘top ten most insightful/wise/intelligent/humanitarian/etc blogger’ does not mean that such aspirations are not more worthy of mass appreciation. Cretinous individuals/institutions that promote ‘most beautiful blogger awards’ via the narrow criteria of physical features or pop/ular appeal simply diminish human potentials, evolutionarily speaking, by detracting mass attention from the significant to the trivial.
