Do you believe that a monkey with a keyboard can change the world?

[TibetanMonkey, the Beach Cruiser Philosopher]

It is said that a monkey with a keyboard can write a book, given
enough talent and training, and someone will eventually use the
Internet to change the world without divine intervention. If you doubt
it it's because you believe a character such as Jesus will come at the
last minute, leading his people to salvation.

But the WiseMonkey expects no miracles and knows how to punch the
right combination of keys. He knows the secret behind the 100th
monkeys success:

"The hundredth monkey effect is a supposed phenomenon in which a
learned behavior spreads rapidly from one group of monkeys to all
related monkeys once a critical number of initiates is reached. By
generalization it means the instantaneous spreading of an idea or
ability to the remainder of a population once a certain portion of
that population has heard of the new idea or learned the new ability
by some unknown process currently beyond the scope of science."

Just as people thought the world was lost, an inspired monkey writes
from the boondocks. Everybody's celebrating, even kids:

Sheepherders created the perfect philosophy to herd the masses. Not
terribly surprising.

I can see you see no use for the mask and that you are definitely the
demands of the 99% in the revolution.

We demand space and respect first. Yes, we are monkeys parading our
pride. And you know what, those lions are monkeys too. Everybody is
monkey. Who's afraid of evolution?

I think the Christians are.

Probably a kid can figure it out:

"that you are definitely ________the demands of the 99% in the
revolution."

correct answer: ignoring!

What you see from me on the Internet is a reflection of the outside
world. I do get into people's space til they hear me.

Sorry, there's little evolution is a system that denies change. We
have long being aware of Climate Change and still won't change our
polluting ways.

Yes, people are often afraid of the truth. That's part of the reason
for the mask.

I have. I just think of being an animal.

Well, I googled "the world is a zoo" and found over 7 million hits...

Who should run the zoo, the lion or the monkey? Deep, deep stuff.

The monkey must obviously punch the right keys.

We must keep a steady supply of the drug as in cocaine and gasoline.

Well, not anymore now you can have the free sun work for you without
delay:

"Use the sCharger-5 while camping, picniking, at the beach, by the
pool, or even ball games. Use it to solar charge your devices when
there is no other power available. Take it hiking with you to quick
charge that iPhone that is running GPS. Use it for emergency power.
Most of the time cell phones still work when there is no electricity.
Be the only one with a fully charged phone!"

And made in America for those who are still hunting for that "Proudly
Made in America" label. When will be we investing in solar energy in a
big way? And when will they stop the waste of light everywhere? We
have a mixed path along the beach whose light is totally wasteful and
blinding, lit sunset to sunrise.

It would make sense, particularly in the south. But few people care to
think about. It's about cheap energy they get elsewhere.

Wow, frozen bananas out of the microwave. Great! I love the microwave.
