The art of going to a public toilet



One of the daily problems for a significant number of people is going to defecate (yes, defecating. Here we don´t use euphemisms) to one of these places where people go to, let´s say, to do... mmm, their needs (you get the point. Excuse me, but the issue blushes me). I would say that there is little literature about the various ways to avoid getting a deadly disease in these bacteriological fleshpots.

The media-textile empire of Fox News and tight underpants



It is known that this empire has conditioned all governments since the beginnings of time. Or at least since it was created. All the media controlled by Fox chooses to broadcast bad news against the government running the country if they don´t give them some advantageous concessions. Alternately, it shuts up when the opposite occurs. In this way, it manages which current affaires arrive to the public opinion arena.
Some people, including me, tend to criticize the way Fox and other media conglomerates manage how people feel by choosing a positive or negative outlook of the reality. However, very few stops to think why Fox can affect people´s mood with bad news. That was the case until today.

How to detect idiots. Issue 1 – Their behavior in a queue(part 1):


This section seeks to provide a very valuable instrument to readers. Knowing whether a person who you see daily is an idiot or not is a simple thing to do. Furthermore, this knowledge comes to us spontaneously, almost inadvertently. However, we have the misfortune of living in society with thousands of idiots around us who condition our lives whether we want it or not. Due to the huge amount of morons that inhabit planet earth, is impossible, first, to be all the time at ease, without caring  about them and, secondly, to be constantly evaluating whether the person we are about to come across in the street is or not an asshole.
In this state of things, my goal is to share my knowledge on how to quickly identify an idiot. In this case I will refer to an everyday situation: standing in line to buy something, to ask for information, to get on a bus, etc, etc, etc.

The triumph of the captains of industry over the administrative unionism


It is known that the capitalists from all around the world have sought new ways to limit the power of protest of workers. In southeast Asia, it was achieved with outright repression; in the USSR, there was no need to repress “because we were all equal” (yeah, right); in the U.S. through Fordism and the disqualification of jobs, and in Argentina by declaring bankruptcy and moving the factory to the south of Brazil or Uruguay.
However, all these strategies were used in initial stages of the development of the capitalist era. Once these tricks were defeated by years and years of union struggle, which made those bureaucrats in Washington more receptive to the protests of the communists unions than to the feelings of true Americans, the choices of our business friends to get great profits overnight were reduced sharply. That's when they had to start racking their brains.

The most despicable beings in the universe - Issue I: Those who walk at a speed similar to ours


This section, I think, will be very popular since it is devoted to criticizing unpopular characters or social categories.
For the first issue, we have a very negligible entity to which one can dislike about 5 minutes tops but, at the same time, it is very hard not to come across it at least once a day… every day. Yes, you guessed, we're talking about people who walk at +/- 5% of our speed.

Intro




Magrathea is a fictional planet that appears in the literary saga The Hitchhiker´s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. In this planet, other plantes were manufactured for very rich people. Whoever had the money to pay for one, could have a tailor made planet.
Eventually, the business went down when an economic crisis took place. Therefor, all Magrathea´s inhabitants decided to get into chambers that would keep them alive and sleep until the business recovered.
In our days, no thought is manufactured whatsoever, and from there it comes the name of this blog. The little thought that we can find is thrown away as something useless, and, supposedly, we are all in the same condition to talk about whatever we want; nobody is interested in learning from the rest and, hence, no one is respected for what they can teach. I don´t aspire to write about anything very deep, but if I do so, it would be in an ironic and superficial way. My sole intention is to show someone that using your brain can be fun, even when you think of stupid things. In this way, since we don´t use our neurons to solve human kind´s problems, we can try to deal with them with a cool actitude.
