What is this

This Book - or to be more accurate, in case you were either a highly suspicious, paranoid and cynical person, an Artificial Intelligence, a Savant-level speed-reader or just all-round Massive Prick who, arriving at the second part notes - quite correctly - that only books #1 & 2 are available right now: 'the first Two parts of a book in four' - (and by the way, being any one of those aforementioned things also very much qualifies you for being part of a group that could very easily have been instrumental in the writing of the...'1/4 book' as well, so welcome, friend - we appreciate you being here; but - por favor, this is not a Greek Symposium- don't come up behind me and tap my shoulder; send any complaints you may have in an email, so I may ignore them later, in private.)
So, this 'So this is what they are calling a book nowadays is it' is my exceedingly strenuous attempt to, despite myself, make a significant series of serious points, while also taking the thing seriously and provide evidence to support my claims. Although they are numerous, varied and by nature of the subject span an immense range of other subjects, a few fundamental principles and assertions are useful for focusing on what is the point of this - sorry, was that me or you? No matter, it fits well there - very good - and the first assertion - and least colourful - because this is the natural order when building up to something - is: 'All things are a Group. Like The playfully named Milky Way Galaxy. Not, '2 chocolate bars' yes, no, no - of course they are but I mean the big one; up in the sky that we are in. Or - sorry, the sky that is in it which we look up through past to it which were in somewhere in that. And then, out of that and in the middle of what it spins round - okay, you got it, basically I think: Groups. Simple really, right but then you have groups which think they are actually 'selves' - like cats, birds or cuttlefish - but we know they are a Group, a species - and are all just different genes and expressions of essentially 1 form divided up in to a few variants, each of which are then further divided up into groups and so on until you reach differentiation on an individual level. Christ, did someone die? Look at your faces my God - hey, hey it's ok kiddo I didn't say 'reach near-suicidal levels of depression on an individual level' okay, yeah I hate reading and understanding 'not fun information' too, it's basically 'All Of Work' unless you are Evil or a Policeman or doing something illegal or...yep that's it - an issue which I am also fixing in the book, but enough of that, so again, simply: 'Groups exist'. That's all. And I shall just leave this here - remember the Mona Lisa and Teaspoons for later.
Then there is the question that started the whole process; that first question simply being
'How did human consciousness evolve' which, while itself was resolved rather early on surprisingly, the work turned out to be a rabbit hole that descended into what some might call a dark and disturbing abyss of madness, out of which I never fully returned; and to whom I say with some manner of some sort of pride that what parts of me did manage to find its way back is now offering guided tours there, for free - and-promising, if you continue to read; a gradually manifesting context that will come to surround you, of that you have been taken hostage by a surprisingly inventive and violent Mexican drug cartel and kidnap-for-ransom organised crime syndicate that, their chosen form of torture - although they demand nothing of you - is confoundedly; having the evolution of life on earth carefully and meticulously described - at first chronologically but then again in more detail and in an order determined by relation to some specific element or factor, narrated by a gang member seemingly at once, Noam Chomsky but then also David Attenborough but which turns out to be a cartoon of them writing this work, but which actually is, itself - in a cartoon; essentially - accidentally; 'Itchy and Scratchy: the Origin of Species/The Wealth of Nations' but somewhat drunk, Where Ancient Greece and Mesopotamia disappear entirely but resurface briefly in flashes - all seen through the eyes of someone with apparently, a frontal lobe brain lesion - which although yes, I am looking at the whole sentence now; this is a horrifying, admittedly though entirely accurate description (forgive the inclusion Mr. Chomsky, Spkr. Attenborough, Itchy, Scratchy both; it is intended as a compliment of highest order) - and Yeah, I think I sold it by all accounts and before you all start whining - it was just just a colloquial term okay, its free, it's a free thing that you still don't have to pay for so you came out ahead, look - and, you didn't have to do Jack Shit which, hey - that's the way God intended it, right? One day you were just there and so fine; I didn't ask for this but at least I'm not being charged- then all of a sudden, years later one day you stop and realise 'Motherfucker I am paying for this and How the hell did that happen but not this time, and you can guess where I'm at on all that and if there's some solution to that snag I'm on it hey - I'm a human man - we nearly destroyed the world 40 odd years ago, 'making a difference', 'meaningful change'; we can ostensibly do this in positive ways don't you trust us - (for men, 'you' - don't you trust you? ha, not me - of course not me but you know any one of us can fuck shit up - big time, and that's all I ask - to believe in our potential. Women, think we're entirely stupid. Not all of them, and of those that may, may or may not; and may not of all of us. Or they may - but I mean, just reading back on this sentence - I mean, it's a pretty safe bet, let's be honest , so anyway, at the very least an interesting premise for a 'book, ostensibly; in four fragments', and an original voice for our - sorry - 'a' generation. (I took a break a decade or so ago, but continued aging, I later discovered)
So the work is concluded and the remaining 2 parts will be released here relatively quickly; a month or two at the very most but probably much sooner and with no sudden demand of a fee or subscription I promise. Because not only are the best things in life free, sometimes things that are clearly intended to be subversive, unconventional and purposely threaten to undermine our accepted notion of reality are too, or certainly are now, here - so that's nice isn't it; seeing as you weren't expecting it, and probably just stumbled here on the internet by accident. (Arguably the best way to stumble upon things; by accident)
So thanks for reading, I hope you enjoy the bits that are meant to be so - or don't - I'm not pressuring you; this is isn't 50 shades of Gray - No, I didn't watch it but the reference is good - and if it didn't cause me to lose my mind to write it, it probably won't cause you to lose yours to read it either.
We live in hope.
