Greetings Earthlings!
So, this blog, The Moot Button. A button, when you push it, nothing makes any real difference.
We’d all like to push a button, or something, that makes things different, better, or at least acknowledges, or confirms, our suspicions that very little makes sense and the silliness around us is unnerving. There are times we speak up, say, or do something to enact change and feel like we’re contributing to the betterment of humanity, and it falls on deaf ears or inaction. You know those times. The times when you see your friend, colleague, team, or anyone who could probably benefit from a voice of reason to keep from moving impulsively into disaster. You offer a suggestion, an idea, a way forward, or, perhaps, a commonsense moment cutting through the insanity and confusion with the hope that reason will prevail.
Or maybe you don’t. Maybe you’re the silent type too nervous to say something because you might be wrong, or worse, say something stupid.
Or maybe you’re a bull in the Plaza de Toros blinded by sheer determination to win at all costs by goring anyone in your way. Destined for greatness you charge headlong into the matador’s bright red muleta as they dance around you trying to subdue you and, much to your surprise, using one banderilla at a time, weaken you. All of this to the pleasure of the rapacious crowd – your frenemies, co-workers, or just some cretin spectators who merely enjoy the theatrics.
In the end, you become cynical, jaded. Ever feel any of this? Well, this blog is for you. Think of The Moot Button as a brain bucket where we talk about real stuff, albeit from a different perspective. A Center of Excellence for crazy shit.
Before we get too deep into the ‘shit’, I know it’s important to know who’s behind the curtain and the purpose for The Moot Button. There are multiple voices and ideas that go into this collection of nonsense, and we’ll be tagging-in some of our most trusted mates to help with digging up the bodies – cuz we know where they’re buried!
Stay crafty Earthlings!
