More From P. J. O'Rourke

The weirder you're going to behave, the more normal you should look. it works in reverse, too. when i see a kid with three or four rings in his nose, i know there is absolutely nothing extraordinary about that person.
Kids Three Looks
If i say [electrons] behave like particles i give the wrong impression; also if i say they behave like waves. they behave in their own inimitable way, which technically could be called a quantum mechanical way. they behave in a way that is like nothing that you have seen before.
Science Giving Way
The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious, of being out of one’s mind, is the condition of the normal man. society highly values its normal man. it educates children to lose themselves and to become absurd, and thus to be normal. normal men have killed perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years.
Children Learning Men
It was more dangerous not to go; i was running the risk of becoming trapped in my own fantasies. so i was doing the right thing by going. she would behave normally, i would behave normally, and everything would be normal again.

If you want your children to relate to the culture you live in, if you want to train them outside of the general system, you have to tell your children that ordinary children tend to say things like 'i can run faster than you; i can draw better than you; i know things you don't know'. you have to tell them what normal children are like. normal children are messed up and you have to tell them about that. but if you instruct your child in high correlation with the physical world, they won't be able to relate with normal children. normal means mixed up as i use the word.
Running Children Mean
Then i fall asleep with a stupid feeling of wishing to be different from what i am or from what i want to be; perhaps to behave differently from the way i want to behave or do behave.

I couldn't believe i'd come this far, lost tyson, suffered through so much, only to fail - stopped by a big stupid monster in a baby-blue tuxedo kilt. nobody was going to swat down my friends like that! i mean... nobody, not nobody. ah, you know what i mean.
