Most people are really cool. Most comments are excellent. Yet, every once in a while, you may get one from a hurt person, looking to hurt other people. 1000000% of the time of which they will not be using their real name out of cowardice and thus you have to just laugh back at them and feel sorry for them.

Numerous years ago, the Huffington Post, which used to be a fairly decent journalistic source but has now devolved into being more about gossip and infotainment, realized they needed to tie their comments to people's Facebook profiles, so folks were forced to use their real names to decrease toxic political comments by anonymous trolls. 

Yet censor happy YouTube, of which the back archive of the podcast is slowly being uploaded, along with half of the essays and half of the documentary narrations, allows anyone to create a profile, with their real name or not. So every once in a while a comment such as this one by this fine lady or gentlemen will pop up. 

The narration we did a while back "Waters Above The Firmament" has of course attracted seekers, flat Earthers, and religious folks. There are some outstandingly excellent theologians out there, and there are bad shit crazy religious people out there - and there’s no shortage of the latter in the world. Some of which have watched this and it's challenged their dogmatic reality tunnels. But, if it's real it can take the pressure. 

My attitude on this comment is to never give it any of my energy by not even replying via following the mindset of the hilarious site "E-mails From an Asshole" at  http://dontevenreply.com/. For as Robert Anton Wilson once said regarding debate, "Don't teach a pig to sing, it will just upset you and annoy the pig". 

Future essay on all this in the works...

*On another note, R.A.W. also suggested something he called "Omnidirectional Reading" meaning reading sources that support your reality tunnel, while also reading  sources which challenge it. So from a political perspective, since the Huffington Post could be said as being "left leaning" whenever we look at the Huffington Post, we also make sure to then look at the "right leaning" Drudge Report.
