Few realize that in “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” by The Band, “Dixie” traces to Louisiana $10 notes issued by the Citizens’ Bank of Louisiana in New Orleans (“Dix” being French for “ten”). The South’s currency became worthless after the Civil War, beginning the centralization trend that led to the Federal Reserve a few decades later. Thus the song is a eulogy to the free banking era / a Bitcoin song.

The way is simple, but not always easy.

“At the end of the drama, because all things have to have an end that have a beginning, the curtain goes down and the actors retire to the green room. And there, the villain and the hero cease to be villain and hero, and they’re just the actor. And then they come out in front of the curtain, and they stand in a row, and the audience applauds the villain along with the hero. The villain for having been a good villain, the hero for having been a great hero. The play is over. And everybody heaves a sigh of relief. Well, that was a great show, wasn’t it?” — Alan Watts, Ways of Liberation

In elementary school, my whole class acted in a theatrical performance. Many of the “cool kids” would purposely mumble through their lines, do the bare minimum, and not get into their roles at all. They did this to seem “cool” and not embarrass themselves. The thing is, from the audience’s perspective, it just comes off as lame. What is actually cool is really getting into character, allowing the lines to flow through you, and bringing the play to life through your total disregard for what others may think of you. This applies to all of life. View quoted note →

This is why being a hater, and calling everything cringe or autistic, isn’t as cool as it seems. To be fascinating, be fascinated. View quoted note →

Interesting people are interested.

“The realization I’m speaking of is not something like a belief. It is not an idea for the simple reason that the fundamental energy of the universe cannot be embraced in an idea. It cannot be embraced in a concept, in a form of words, in an explanation, because it eludes all classification, because it is the which than which there is no whicher, and therefore is not in any class.” — Alan Watts, Ecological Awareness
