My Manifesto

The Manliest of Festo's

So, you wish to peer into the life rules of the Spin Doctor? Very well, I present to you the Spinifesto, in convenient little quotables. Feel free to quote.

1 - The Purpose of Life is Happiness
All life eventually leads to death. This fact negates any benefit from long term actions, as in the longest term your still dead. So, live in the moment to find purpose, find enjoyment in that moment to have made it worth living.

2 - The Universe is Really Very Big
Ever think you meant anything? You don't. At the end of the day (ed. world) complete global genocide doesn't have the slightest effect on 99.9999999999999999% of the known universe, or any of the unknown universe. All our piddling little global crises don't really matter when you think about it.

3 - Stress is the Deadliest Virus of our Time
Being relaxed, and content is the healthiest thing you can do. It lowers blood pressure, fights diabetes, decreases the risk of stroke, cancer, obesity, ulcers and gum infections, and prevents virtually every psychological disorder in the book (and all their associated psychosomatic effects). So make time to relax, everyday. All day whenever possible.

4 - Lose the Cause, Find the Solution
Any problem is a problem regardless of the source. Finding the cause won't remedy it, so focus on finding the solution. And don't ever say "My bad". First off, that's syntactically flawed. Second, if your in a situation where you are compelled to say "My bad" chances are everyone already knows it's your fault, stating that is just a waste of time.

5 - Forethought is God
Did you screw up last time? Expect to screw up again. In fact, plan to. Life is much easier when your prepared for inevitable consequences.

6 - Think, then Speak
Always state a sentence in your mind before you let it slip out. You'll sound more intelligent, shoot yourself in the foot less, and leave fewer holes in your arguments.

7 - Nothing is "just"
Nothing, in the history of things, has been found to simply be the way it is, so it's really unlikely that things are gonna start doing that now. The sky isn't just blue, it refracts light across it separating out the blue colour from the spectrum. The worst offence of this logical misstep is the syntactic suffix "...is just wrong". People love to explain away something they don't approve of as quite simply, in and of itself, not good. Wrong, right, or indifferent, nothing simply is.

8 - Logic, above All Else
I speak very plainly. Many of you may question this, as I use alot of big words, but I choose my words carefully. Using the word I know that most closely fits my intended meaning. So when I say logic above all else, I mean just that. Logic, action/reaction, effects and variables, above all, everything, religion, society, law. If something doesn't make sense, than it doesn't make sense. Never accept something just because your told so.
