dear readers,
many cooks spoil the pudding? Or everyone is great, everyone is a winner - losers even? Time proceeds and this is a short evaluation to make an overlap of politics and philosophy, economy and gender-mainstream or what does it mean to our sports, extrem- and endurance?
Let me mention statistics, the many readers in the Far East (Singapure, China, India e.g. or Japan, Corea, too, Hong Kong as well...) and South America (Venezuela, Argentine oder Chile e.g. likewise Peru and Equador) to be warmly welcomed. By the way: most hits this week stem from Brazil. In general: this blog is adressed to humankind, people in 1st, 2nd and 3rd world countries? No, not so. It follows NEP (new ecological paradigma) versus anthropocentrism. There is no difference in human, but in cultures. With men among among, animals, nature, the sea and the whole planet somewhere, a small spot interstellar. Planet time trial for the very few? Let it be mentioned of triathlon wasn't mainstream. It inspired the many. So far, so good? What does this mean to true triathlets?
A place for drop-outs and paradises' birds and some few professionels. Then, these and the professional concept become mainstream. Meanwhile, that mainstreamers imitate pioneers by corrobating values, like they are listed on that blog, tool. Endurance sports was in it extreme variants, likewise triathlon, a blessing and a curse. Hard work, peek performance and a little posing. Nowadays, everyone procalims own race and competition became meaningless, not so showing off and drafting in a wider sence. To deduct from the abstract to the concret: ranked onto the podium in triathlon is less worthy in comparison to posing by pictures made via smart-phone during a self-styled cross-country-run. To put it back onto the philosophical level, the male paradigm, that is to "overfly" the competitor, to be fast, no compromises ect. pp. or lets simply say in terms of evolutionary psychology, guarded by anthropological philosophy, well, "fight and flight" has disappeared to or has to be changed into the female paradigm of modern philosophy (literally: game, but changer) that is in short: do not compete as we are all alike, but show off because it is mainstream and attractivenes is all that counts no matter what, thus no need for speed and no need to urge oneself behind the finish-line. It is individually made, powerded by a big machines that nest in Silicon Valley, e.g.. And by virtually, too, that is nested globally even in clouds. Refinanced by tolerance, acceptence and likes and thus of value. This way DNF (did not finish) is an option now, and for all future and humankind. Because it means to be more important to be a part of and this is all that is of importance (e.g. to leave track at an early stage, in case one is done; but: make sure you get enough flowers, can be from bots, too), and thus a 10k-race is an aquivalent to a 42,195k-race etc. pp.? Once again, why? In terms of evolutionary psychology (ep) tend and befriend seems to be the new paradigm and thus the only crux.
However, critical thinkers may ask again of what this all does mean?
Has this to do with politics in Europe, e.g.? Where the horizon of planning is three days? And we have to wait of what comes? New rules of game, to be sorted, and then the struggle of who's interpretation gets the majority of views, hits and clicks? Does it mean of performance and leading is for nothing in turn? When an apple is an apple it is an apple. Right? It isnt flesh? Can we agree on that, at least? Thus an apple might be garlic, lemon, salat, a toaster or a car, but not so a chicken? Back to sports just remember of the past days in the massmedia (mainstream), when only the top3 had been recognized even worse. In terms of that right-wing feminism a winner is an apple and that cannot be. As of the majority hasn't agreed on yet. This has advantages, sure, but disadvantages, too. Someone, who is successful is not the one who makes it onto the podium in sports, but gathered thousands of followers (called foolowers on that blog). True? And if, where it came from? As of sport became entertainment. It is okay for PROs, but not so for the masses (!) of amateurs? We will discuss that later and sum it up the last lines. Don't worry.
Well now, the richer countries suffer sencelessness. Having everything, citizens lack sence. We can call that spiritual emptiness. Those having been fed that way do not have to fight for daily survival or living, but are losing thier wealth, in turn, too, while the "upper 10000" become even more rich despite of crisis. That's why common people show off as a compensation of that losses, wealth and spirit, as a the new value. Right? In order to appear good and adopted? Tolerance and benevolence are core visions of the new ecological paradigm (nep). World citizenship is the third core component, sure. And rightly so. But does that, these there combinded or as a compound trait, in turn, mean to tolerate everything by the means of tend-and-befriend? Does evolutionary advantage lead to equality by swarm-intelligence? The rest amount that is left to remain unclear then is of common people are alike to be, all equal, and the only difference is attractivness and showing-off? Likewise you can buy human beings in terms of ressources and grap 'em at the ..... ? Luckily no one has to follow that pathes. Luckily everyone can, but does not have to. Follow. One can clearly say: no. Take me for an instance. Resistered for German Mastery along the olympic distance late in June 2026 (1,5 - 40 - 10 k swim, bike, run; nonstop) and imagine me ranked the top3 that race my age-group? Good? What for? Let me mention of sportsmen regulars table's people in town said of me to be the last sportsman here, within a village of 20000+ inhabitants. Am I? Good? If fast? A sportsman? To bring guidance, order and performance? Well, I do not play soccer (A.E.) nor football (B.E.). Here in Germany, even men look women's soccer. To sum it up we found another way as of nowadays men are neither alone or play soccer? But are in-group if watching females playing. Soccer, of course. No! Recently no more soccer at all, soccer sucks, that's true, but volleyball pops out to be most trendy for male age-groupers.
Really, to create own races (the word project does appear more appropriate) and be a part of, e.g. any race, even as a spectator, or a follower in the internet (the word social-event does fit better) is the mainstream. Likewise race director of best old race, DATEV Challenge Roth/226k, said more than ten years ago in the local television: "We do not want to organize a triathlon, but an event." - Felix Walchshöfer. Thus RENAME If triathlon would be easy it would be called soccer. ALTER TABLE If triathlon would be easy it would be called volleyball. DELETE. RENAME Tend-and-befriend??? Take good care! We are all volleyballs, nowadays, IRONMAN was yesterday, at least in the Western world. What, again, does it all mean? Magical consciousness instead of reasonable freedom??? Or just
Let "tenders and befrienders" be fast in local areas and let them show off in the media and spread their individuality widely (data trash of self-advertisement)! They will never compete World Championships 226k in Nice/France or on Big Island / HI, USA. Luckily, IRONMAN returned to Hawaii and maybe this all is meant to be a reset or restart. Triathlon might start at its origin again, having brought up a new circle of triathlets with clear mind and mind-sets, visions and values hooked to and in triathlon's beginnings and believes. Of course, money plays an important role and thus material? Just imagine a fast time-trial bike for let's say 15000 $ doesn't make you sub5h 180,2k by 5000k training a season? But who knows! May be the next step is e-triathlon, outdoors, too. Thus, the next bike that makes the Ironman on Hawaii is from Tesla? Aloha e-bikers? Imagine e-motorbikes driving along the highway from San Diego to L.A. to swing-by St. Monica and St. Barbara up to Vancouver. An e-fire burns on Clearwater Beach, in FL, too. Rahter romantically. Smoking is forbidden, even lightening a candle is too dangerous. As of one can use LED-candle. And here we go, exactly, to transhumanism. And if not, posthumanism is the devastating argument following transhumanisms, for sure: robo sapiens thrumbs homo sapiens. Well, we all do turn into robots, then, if we say yes to tend-and-befriend silently? Where is the, our No?
Written from here, does Germany - where drafting is fairplay, where faking is making and where people lost the ability to communicate to each other, but showing off instead (like animals do?) - turns its post-modern society into mere data, one-liners, emicons, bits, bytes and human-machines, finally? Even e-cats and e-dogs have season! Yelp! Even more. As of onto one human post (so-called reals) fell five add fakes ermerging, not only automatically. Thus five extra e-cats, e-dogs, e-horses, e-parrots, e-apes, e-cats, e-fishes and true, within a "nep-selfie", as of German top philosophers argue of fishes have a brain abilities and functions like human beings have in order to think, plan events and living! Fishes make fire, underwater, sure, they have storages' rooms for the winter season and invented space crafts... - not only on your selfie! Really, new ecological paradigm (nep) means men among animals, anthropocentrism means men top of animals. But does nep mean of fishes became humans and humans became animals like fishes? Silent and saying yes to that all? Done by photosphop, smartphone AI etc. more over. And keep in mind of one day humankind might be accused of having killed the beatles. Why? Becaue humans and the beatle are alike. As sentiment beings they are alike, they both want to live and strive to avoid death. So take care if a beatle crosses your way.
Luckily not all states of the world share that view?
E.g. America is great again (MAGA), soon, so will be humans? Great. But what does a human make different from an ape, horses, cats, dogs, fishes and beatles? Tend-and-befriend the fishes in your pond, e.g. in Daytona, in the middle of race-course, as a sentinent being you should not catch and eat, and woe betide you, State of Alaska, if you de not befriend the Alaska Salmon, tend them! Only plants are allowed to be eaten. But be careful! As no one knows for sure. To put arms around a tree is better and much more trendy than to hug a human being. See? A tree is more worthy than a human, too, as a fish is more of value than a human. CA is tricking you! To make it clearer think through this, too: well, 1. a beatle, a fish, a tree and even a human being are alike as sentiment beings. Okay? Okay. 2. evolution does not exist, God made it that way. Or intelligent desgin. And, if you don't know of who made, take as a matter-of-fact the following: a fish isn't a beatle isn't a tree isn't a human being. Likewise a male isn't a female isn't a diverse human. See? Okay? Okay. Then 3., conclusion: beatles are beatles, fishes are fishes, trees are trees and humans are humans, all objects, like humankind is humankind. Right? Right. But once again: why? Hm. No one knows. Because the subkect is missing. However, AI and robots will know. One day. For sure. When undoubtly they will, AIs, have found it out the mystery one day. When time has ended up to exist. Then, well, paradies' birds will sing again. And fishes are jumping? See? Thus, after humankind has disappeared from planet Earth, well, maybe also fishes will emerge as the new human race? Even today there are fishes that can fly. Or rats, but insects, like a beatle is an insect, that can fly, and due to the fact they are more likely to survive? Just kidding. Of course I know of the future and of potatoes are the most intelligent species, because potatoes know they will survive as they will be cultivated by robots.
Anyway, anything is possible. Where will it, triathlon (Ironman; World Triathlon Cooperation WTC) go? To NEP? Not so, fore sure. A stable growth of 8% a year is said to be the bench-mark. Thus, Ironman appears like a sect, a sect of moneymen likewise golfers and humble, common people have no interest in. Exactly this explains the huge variance in individuality and not only the obvious increment and with herein deception, and thus the new paradigm in our sports, where losers are the very true winners and females thrumb males because of attractiveness in performance. As an intermediate onto the semi-pro level for many years, well, meanwhile, I stay out of this both groups, by staying in in those two the same time. As a synthesis of thesis (nep) and anti-thesis (antrophcentrism) there is no need for me, I versus Me, I myself to mention the my new developments, archievements or adaptions. Take, as a the matter-of-fact, the new mega-trend among us all that is bike-packing - me, I, promoted on here and in the locals newspapers, online too. It, bike-packing, became mainstream within five years and is hooked a) to individuality, sure, thus nep, but b) anthropocentrism and stock exchange markets. In one word then, c) appears as a mixutre, as a peace of a bitter-sweet chocolate made out of 74% of cacao, yes, tendy and to be suspended on any adults tounge, slowly. Like an adventure without risks? Likewise an adult baby is tendered by sweets? Well, to consume huge amounts of money was never part of adventure and that kind of sweet amounts is neither individual nor professional - even among the new class of coustomeers, e.g. rich people, who fly from Europe to New Zeeland rent a mobile home to go for e-biking in down under? Because of emptiness. That way they appear tolerant, belenvolent and as a world citizens, do they? Or just consider the money spent among e-bikers for projects like smaller sizes e.g. to ride from Munich to Hamburg within a week. Or to the Northern Cap. Because of spirit is lost. Beacause of even olders have to be trendy? With handy, of course. On fb, insta, etc.. By self-advertisement. By self-importance. Does nep turn out as the new, egoistic anthropocentrism? Take gravel-biking emerges as a new discipline. A bicycle is a bicycle is an apple? Here, it is. And not a toaster. One can ride stage-race in Africa as a tourist, nowadays? Yes, even if Ruanda is politically instable and thus questionable. Money contains the solution. Gravel-bike-holidays in Germany are 200 $ a day? And even hiking while big holidays in summer are 1000 EUR in flat territory a week? Here, in Germany, of course they are, that much expensive. As of performance met individuality in general, normal spare-time activities became very, very epensive, on the level of individuality (an egoism). Tend-and-befriend (female) thrumbs fight-and-flight (male) paradigm? That way. Thus not so humbleness, but comfort and the very well planned adventure powered by the rules of the market is substituted by etools and pride, greed and the price of having lost to communicate in order to follow those lonely cowboys of the former times, called Ironman? A quite expensive hotel room is nice. Ride after. In order to go online, the comfortable way. Silently. Me too. I finsish cycling going there by my own big bus, chemical toilet onboard, too, with own w-lan as of camping-grounds' nets collapses as of all the caravans around? In the middle of the deep wild widths' loniless of Sweden, thus I am an Ironman. Those tourists spoil the sport! Like e-bikers take fun away from bicycle-pathways. It is all okay. Don't get me wrong. Think of the beatle, now. Ty. But where does our sport, triathlon, go? The truth is, like mentioned above, of society is losing wealth and spirituality likewise the peacock lost its ability to fly in order to produce that huge amount of colourful feathers. Are we all going to die, then? Well, we all die in Los Angeles...-
So far, back from hiking to gravel-biking: those cyclists plan holidays by e-tools and quickly disappear into their hotels ride after they booked weeks and months before for virtual communications? And look into quadratic screen again. There is nothing going on outside. Likewise, if you go name a your own project of the year TransAlp Challenge to do so by mountainbike - trans the Alps - you do not have to forget to book the refuges in the higher mountains 6-10 monthes before. And in your evenings, of course, the computer elects and e-decides by economical equations and alogrithm where and with whom you sit on the table and next to. Fore sure, a road-trip interstate by caravan on random within the United States of America (USA), no matter if Alabama, California, Florida, Wisconsin, Nevada, Ohio, Arizona, Southern Carolina, Idaho, including Mississippi, or let say from New York to San Francisco, has to follow a strict day-to-day shedule along that time span of holidays. After trend was to buy caravans as of Covid-19 years. What to do with all the Caravans? Even in Scandinavia it is the same. Caranvan by caranvan along a camping-side. And the high-light of the evening? One can watch others watching TV in their caravan out of the own caravan! I am not joking. Likewise an Ironman-competition must be planned according to the strict regulations of General Staff, always. By gawking others...
In other words: a man made free the ghost of Aladdin coming out of his oil-lighten magic lamp by rubbing. After rubbing plenty of, Aladdin came out. He promised the man to have free three wishes for that deed. Thus, the man had free three wishes. Sausages from Frankfurt had been the first wish. He got immediadetly from Aladdin derived by magical power. After he had eaten that food and was not hungry anymore the second wish was asked by the ghost. Thus secondly, he, the man wished an interstate-highway from California to Hawaii to be build. Aladdin was upset! Impossible, he said. And urged the man to tell his last wish. Then, the man asked Aladdin, that he wants to understand females as his third and ultimate last wish. Aladdin checkled and replied in a verge of hecticness by the question of how many lanes that interstate highway shall have!
Best joke ever? Jolly. Keep roger. Do not look TV before sleeping time.
Cheers, Mike.
