We Dare Matt Damon To Prove Us Wrong

It looks like the makers of South Park and Team America were right - Matt Damon is probably too stupid to utter anything but his own name - just not quite that stupid:

Hollywood actor Matt Damon refused to visit psychics to research for his role in new film Hereafter because he thinks they are fake.

The 40-year-old actor, who plays a psychic who can see dead people in the film, refrained from going to any real life mystics for the fear of falling prey to such pretentious people, reported Contactmusic.

"Had I found a good one I would have. What I was worried about was that it was just going to take me down this rabbit hole of charlatans.

"I think a large part of that space is occupied by pretenders, which is not to say there aren't people out there who are genuinely touched in some way. I just didn't get a chance to meet any of them," the Goodwill Hunting star said.

So you only think "a large part of that space" are frauds, but there are some "who are genuinely touched" in some way - other than in the head? Well then, please, Matt, point one - just one - out to us! Surely, if you think there are real ones out there, you ought to know the name of one, currently or from history, correct? Who then? We'd bet you the salary for one of your films that you couldn't produce even that one. Which means they're ALL fake, genius.

But then, after hearing your comments on Sarah Palin, something tells us the words "Matt Damon" and "think" being used in the same sentence is already some form of intellectual blasphemy all by itself.

So "Progressive" - And So RUDE!!!

Perfect Madness, Indeed, Judith

The New York Times' Judith Warner (author of the book, "Perfect Madness") wrote a column on Buddhism, meditation, and "mindfulness" where she confesses to many things we at TMR have been saying:

Being part of a group that's bought into the current spiritual bullshit and laughs at thier own hypocrisy, instead of correcting it.

Being pretentious.

Being a tool of the SHAM (Self-Help and Actualization Movement).

Knowing David Foster Wallace killed himself by thinking like this.

Getting angry at her husband for pointing out she's become a silly "NewAge" person - with terrible taste in music (and being shallow enough to side with the silliness and bad taste against her devoted spouse - potential divorce material.)

Of "not being there at all" but foolishly claiming to actually "Be Here Now" - and thinking such self-imposed obliviousness has "charm".

Discovering she's actually been disconnecting from people - the exact opposite of what all this NewAge dribble claims.

Taking advice from people suffering from "depression and self-depletion" who "send,...silent good wishes to people all over the world who have problems exactly like my own." (I guess the rest of us don't matter or couldn't be of any help to anyone so troubled in the first place.)

We love this bullshit line: "I have no doubt that this meta-connectedness feels real, and indeed is real, in the abstract at least." Yea: in the abstract. Idiot talk of the highest order.

Another goody: "I’ve come lately to wonder whether meaningful bonds are well forged by the extreme solipsism that mindfulness practice often turns out to be." Right: solipsism will bring us together. Sure, dummy. Being wrong is a community organizing tool.

She acknowledges such people become evangelical in defense of their wrongness. The very thing they hypocritically hate Christians for.

Of course, selfishness, being self-absorbed - and boring - and inhuman.

Other than making her as ugly as all that, Judith Warner being a Buddhist is just the bee's knees.

And, now, multiply all that terrible nonsense by the millions - no billions - of selfish, pretentious, idiots believing in it, in our neighborhoods, college campuses, government, etc., and you start to get some scale of our problems.

Why does it seem, as the Boomers (who brought us this crap in it's modern guise) continue to assume the reigns of power, that we've "fallen and can't get up"?

This is why.

It's The March of the Lemmings - right over a cliff.
