elephant in the room: many of us do not feel affinity to humans around whom we meet face to face. In essence, we are a foreigner from a different culture. We do not share basic values with them; their habits make us cringe and their food makes us sick. As if we are an alien who landed on the wrong planet. Maybe they are stuck and we grew too much, or maybe they got bewitched, or maybe we took too many pills. But I do not think this is a pathology. In historical terms, we are the ones who burn old religions and start new religions. We are those who discover new continents. We are those who pack up to leave, never to be seen again in their hometown, and then we become the founding fathers elsewhere. We will be remembered. Rejoice!

I have a thought on Jordan Peterson. What if his mental deterioration is due to bad conscience? He lied about Nietzsche, christianity, and he took side of the jews. And he tried to put together secular harwardism with the bible, which in principle cannot be done. So, it ripped him to pieces on the inside.

I have been looking into the topic of Spanish civil war, since there was a vibe of possible civil war happening in the USA. Interestingly, the factions on each side of the conflict were similar to the current political split.
