What's Pointful?
I was just thinking about the sucky, dismal adventure of Gates and Windows, and how so many people are out of work because of, mostly, him. HE made it possible for the root weevils to team up with the tree-swinging simians (~~bosses~~) in a grab for fast cash without regard to the future - did all that have a point?
We went to the Moon, in the process, producing the finest machine in history (the LM) - that entire INDUSTRY is dead. So what was the point of that?
And how about bringing down the Berlin Wall? We did nothing to take advantage of the times to make a better world. In fact, we exploited the fearful, poor, and ungoverned citizens of the convulsed countries afterward, making a mockery of all the talk about liberty and its benefits. So, what was the point of all that Commie demonization?
CCR's protest song "Fortunate Son" is now being used to sell blue jeans to pseudo-partriots (marshmarlowes). What was the point of all that good music back then? None at all.
Does ANYTHING have a point? It's all just the seconds leaving in single file.
(Hint: Next time, throw in some Joycian psychosexual drama, maybe involving an exotic foodstuff, just to make it more pointless.)
