Global Orgasm

Can someone cue Billy Idol's "Dancing with Myself," please?

This is so amazingly retarded that I couldn't leave it alone. According this dumbass website, today is Global Orgasm Day, wherein everyone on Earth's supposed to have an orgasm, think about world peace, and somehow make the world a better place in the process. Stupid fucking liberals. I don't know about you, but every day is global orgasm day for me. As long as my subscription to Hustler holds out.

Looking at GO's slick website, it looks like they're about to sell me something, and maybe they are. The whole thing sounds like a gimmick. And their press releases make it seem more so. Read this lame shit from one of their PDF downloads:

Donna Sheehan, one of the organizers, said, "We want everyone to dedicate their orgasms on December 22nd to peace, unity and a redefinition of progress." She and her co-organizer, Paul Reffell, and their web designer, Gabe Lipman, will be available for the media to ask questions on the Day via two Skypecasts, which are hosted calls with space for up to one hundred callers, provided by Skype, the Internet telephony service.

I've got a question for you, "Why don't you eat me, you pathetic losers?" Judging from the pic on their blog, they're dead ringers for the Will Ferrell/Rachel Dratch SNL skit about these two gross, Ivory Tower types who keep humping each other in public.

I don't care if they're trying to sell T-shirts, T-Mobile, or if they're just idiotic old hippies. I hate this kind of nothing bullshit.

Argon says:

Only nothing BS if that's all you put into it right? It all depends on how you do it doesn't it? If your focus is selfish and only on your own pleasure then it is only jacking off.

But if your intent is to share something more intimate than self-gratification and focus on the more positive aspects with a concentration on the wider connections that provide the energy for World Peace then it will have a lot better chance of working.

Any attempt at changing attitudes does suffer to a large extent from GIGO"s law (Garbage In Garbage Out) and the people that would most benefit from it have the most resistance to trying it.

But even the most hardened skeptic can't escape the most basic Pavlovian aspects of such a psychology. An orgasm is a pleasurable experience, it gives peace a positive reinforcement by associating it with a pleasurable experience. If you continue it then the more likely it is that it'll become a conditioned response and develope into a habit. That habit would change the world if enough people did it. Since they would talk about it more and be more inclined to make more positive decisions based on a more positive attitude.

A lot of it depends on the amount and discipline of the people involved. A fairly large percentage of the global population would have a greater probability of producing an effect since it would contribute to generating a Tipping Point especially among the Mavens and Connectors to help it spread. Orgasms have always had the "stickiness" needed to produce the tipping point.

That's the trouble, since as a lot of people have said orgasms are going on all the time and no effect has happened. That leaves the part out about the correct focus to produce positive energy. The relaxed state of mind is there, the openess might last for a fraction of a second but then the internal dialogue starts up again and the bliss is lost with any chance of channeling any energy towards peace. That's why some knowledge and discipline is helpful to achieve any results.

While it's true that in some parts of the world like Tibet, India, Japan and China that have had a lot of the practice and discipline to produce and channel the energy needed, the problem is that it's such a small percentage of the global population that has been growing a lot faster than the energy produced could compensate for. That's why it would take a lot higher amount people and a larger percentage to push the idea past the tipping point to embrace transformation.

Getting that many people to focus on any one thing at a time is the hard work since the ones that most need it won't have the discipline or won't even believe that it's possible. Ken Wilber goes into some examples of this when he talks about Deep Science and it's relationship to spirituality. Unless you follow the steps necessary to aquire the skills then you aren't going to get the experiences or the evidence to be able to prove that it works.

If you don't learn how to use a microscope and actually look through it to observe the behaivor of cells then you're not going to be able to get the experiences or the evidence to understand how cells work.

Getting enough people to associate a pleasurable experience like orgasms with something positive like World Peace is a step in the right direction, especially if they do it enough to condition it into a habit through positive reinforcement. It might take a lot more than 1 day for the harder cases, but at least it's something and contributes to achieving the tipping point to a degree.

Would you rather the economy be based on all the defense contractors selling arms? They've been having a lot more success at that than selling the peaceful aerospace systems that they also make. If enough consumers were to change their habits then the economy might be better. I'd be a lot more cynical about what Haliburton was trying to sell me than this.

Having a tangible reminder of what you want to focus on in that moment is probably going to help especially in the face of overwhelming passion. I figured that's a worthy cause to contribute positive energy for a brighter future so to help spread the message I made some T-shirts, Thongs, Hats and Boxer shorts for people to use that would remind them of what they could accomplish.
