Derren Brown: His Lottery Logic Was Done Already

To anyone who watched the showman of the week stand before an audience in wait of his revelation to making money: he might as well held up a novel from the Discworld series and declared “Our will can control the outcome!” And with that, a thousand Elves awoke to this revelation and began to trudge the desert realm of Arakkis with the sole purpose of tracking the lost gem of bleeding FUCKING LOGIC! You can’t expect a person will can alter the outcome of a test, you can’t expect a person of logic to believe in the non-existence idea of will to effectively alter the outcome of anything in this world—what was he thinking?

True to all things in life, if it cannot be proven or disproven (how I hate Religions using that as an excuse) a stalemate scenario occurs when a stubborn annoyance of the intelligent design loving, religious honouring, god fearing bastard who won’t shut up about how you can’t disprove their religion, regardless of how much proof you pile onto their empty plate of belief.

Terry Pratchett, he must’ve been watching and cried “He stole my concept of will,” but he probably would’ve said something in a mix of surreal and logically sane at the time—if he had been watching that is. I wouldn’t be surprised if Discworld fans had come to the same conclusion of Derren Brown’s use of Discworld logic in his presentation/performance of the week.

I watched it for the whole hour and the only impression I got from his presentation/performance was his constant “I can control the outcome of anything I do—especially if the outcome involves a person stamping down on cups”, which can get annoying when you’re more concerned with shouting to yourself “Get to the money part!” Greed can corrupt and no can be an exception to it, no matter how morally clean you consider yourself. We all watched for the simple reason of learning the secret to easy wealth, I’m not denying it, I watched it for the answer and anyone who claims otherwise of their motives are lying.

The expensive scandal makes for a great reference, when you consider how high and mighty everyone were at saying “That’s terrible of them,” like they were completely morally clean. Unsurprising when I wholly accept the fact: any one of us would’ve done the same fucking thing if we had the chance to get money.

Thought of the Day: September 12th:

The dialogue of those Twilight books and films is nothing more than expositional in nature. ‘Edward!’ She said in a cry of hopelessly being in love that was a romantic idea and nothing else. ‘Beat me senseless in the act of love!’ She said while completely blind to the fact that he wasn’t a vampire and just an insult to anything to do with a grand myth of vampires.

‘Ok,’ He replied in the form of a punch and exposition of his overdramatic response to this mockery.
