Mike Vrabel and ethics

Wednesday 4/8/26

Most people are horrible people. It's almost impossible--because it takes too much character, and most humans possess little to no character--to have money, power, fame, and not be worse than someone would be without those things. I'm unchangeable in these regards, but as these pages make plain, I'm not like anyone else. I answer to different things. And I also want different things.

People will try to get away with whatever they're allowed to get away with. They don't answer to anything inside of themselves, a moral code. They don't have personal ethics. It's what they can get. They will go for whatever that may be that feels good, makes them feel a certain way, or helps them try to.

Almost all male professional athletes are cheating on their significant others with many others. These are almost always bad people. They hurt people. If they don't hurt them, it's because they keep that separate or haven't been caught. But if what they were doing was known and they were with someone who actually loved them, that is, someone who didn't marry them principally for money, lifestyle, fame, then that person would know much pain and humiliation.

People do the parasocial thing because most people are also mentally ill and hardly anyone lives in reality. I'm not sure there are a dozen people on the planet who can think well. I'm not sure there are 500 who think at all.

Many hockey players, for instance, are sexual assaulters and rapists. That's the culture. "The boy aquarium." You're delusional, simple-minded, and just plain if that's what you're reading or watching and then also thinking "Wow! Hockey players are so inclusive! And hot!"

Bad people. Very unintelligent people. It's next to impossible to be able to be on a hockey team if you aren't stupid. A men's team, anyway, which is all about being "one of the boys," and the culture that goes along with that. It's a disgusting culture. It's a cover-up, hush-up culture.

Most male professional athletes are as intolerant as you can be towards gay people. "Gay" is a pejorative and a punch line in that world. They think of that term, and various gay slurs, as things to call someone they don't like. As fierce insults.

Mike Vrabel, coach of the New England Patriots, was busted having an affair with a reporter yesterday. This is to be expected. He's been married for nearly thirty years, has a couple kids. The reporter is also married. Almost all of these people are doing this. Getting away with whatever the can get away with. There's no love, no decency, no morality. Bad people.

What mentally ill people do is project their fantasy ideas on these other people like they're good friends with them, calling them by their first names on social media, using "we" when they talk about the team they support, like these people who live inside their screens are their pet people, their stuffed animal people, to fill up the emptiness inside their own lives which have no purpose to them beyond the auto-pilot approach to life.

They did what they did in life because of a situation of, "What else was I going to do?" That's why most people pair up, marry, have children. Then they parent like you'd expect such a person to parent, and then those kids grow up to be the same things, and the world just sucks and sucks and sucks some more and keeps getting worse as standards decrease and humans, culture, and society devolves and machines and AI take over, because why wouldn't they?

People are too stupid to realize that they're effacing themselves, they don't have the mental skills to do anything about it anyway, and there's nothing humans want to do more of than less of something, even if it means living a life with no purpose and being of no real value to anyone or themselves ways beyond, "Here's some money."

Very few people actually care about anything. They care about eating, sex, and trying less, and feeling a certain way about themselves, and being made to feel a certain way about themselves, which means they want to be lied to, they require codependency, they don't want to be challenged, they hate the truth, they hate striving, they hate when they don't have excuses so they make them constantly, they seek others who back them in their excuse-making, and they want nothing to do with anyone smarter or better than they are, because that threatens everything else and make them more insecure, more anxious, and aware of everything they in truth aren't, and who wants that? Especially when you have, or think you have, other options?

If someone isn't up to no good, it's usually simply because they don't have the opportunity and the means. People don't answer to something inside themselves. There's rarely anything there, or anything good.

Look at that mug on Vrabel, too. We're actually the same age. Try getting on a StairMaster sometime when you're in the facility.
