This is axiomatically correct. And there are religious traditions (particularly eastern ones) where doubt is the path. Total doubt, not just of religion, not just of atheism, but of everything. Doubt of the “I” that pops up in your mind out of habit. Doubt of words that one uses to name one’s feelings. There is nothing “wrong” with believing the Bible. There is nothing right about it. It’s just another belief that is also subject to doubt. We don’t know shit. And we don’t even know that we don’t know shit. Doubt that too. View quoted note →

Incompetence is usually malfeasance with plausible deniability

Every dip is fake af. Prove me wrong.

Imagine you were totally surveilled but did not know it. Lived your life as freely as if no one were watching. Contrast that with living your life as though totally surveilled even though no one were actually watching. Just passive data collection in which no one was interested in you particularly. Yet you were super careful just in case, made sure not to post anything controversial under your own name. You could say the first person is naive, that it’ll come back to bite them. But the second person is already in a prison of his own construction whether the threat turns out to be real or not. By contrast, the best way to imprison someone is to do so while encouraging him to believe he’s free. That way he never tries to escape. The one who knows he’s in prison must be held there by force. So there are four possibilities: 1. Believe you’re free, you are free. 2. Believe you’re free, but adopt all the dogmas and limitations as instructed, become the most easily jailed. 3. Believe you’re unfree, force the jailers to expend maximum energy to keep you captive. 4. Believe you’re unfree when you are actually free, jail yourself. The psyop pushes people to 2 (normies) and (4) paranoiacs. But you really want to toggle between 1 and 3, wherein you live your life without worry and to the extent you personally are involved in some totalitarianism (e..g, covid), you are non-compliant and therefore expensive to those foisting compliance on you.

Was discussing the psychotic justifications for forcing people to inject themselves. Someone said, "They'll say you have to do it for their "immunocompromised" aunt. Does your aunt have money? Because im broke, I.e., "financial-compromised," and she should give me some. No? Why not? Because your financial situation is not her problem.

Weird that people act like avoiding mRNA side effects is ideological. Like, “yeah, dude, you just don’t want to risk myocarditis because you’re right wing.” No, dude, hard as it may be to believe, I just really prefer not to have myocarditis.

I don't give two shits if Candace Owens is right or wrong. I just want my government that extorts me for taxes to stop giving her so much material to work with.

Was gonna post questioning why people in the UK are tolerating this insanity from their government, but I know some Brits who are fine with it and think I get why. They are the people with all the correct beliefs. They believed in funding Ukraine, in taking the mRNA of course, in gun control. They already enforce a strict adherence to rightthink lest they be socially excommunicated which for them seems worse than death. So if they’ve already gone that far to police themselves, they have zero concern about being arrested for posting something. In fact, their right-think is a testimony to their place in society. The people who might run afoul of the authorities are low class or idiots who should know better. Maybe arrest is extreme, but no worse in their minds than the social excommunication they most fear. Even speaking up about it would risk social condemnation, and since they’re NEVER going to be the target of this, why risk it?

I think the effective tax rate on productive people is probably north of 90 percent when you include Federal, state, city, sales, capital gains (which has already been income taxed) and property tax (property that was bought with after-tax dollars.) Then you factor in the inflation (debasement) tax (2-10 percent, depending on how you measure it) and also the (38T!) national debt for which you are on the hook in terms of future inflation. Basically, I think it’s probably the case that 90 percent of the nation’s productive capacity is flat out stolen and redistributed via government programs and NGOs to allies of the regime.

Gonna create a nostr nym under which I’ll post GM, pura vida and other kumbaya shit so no one will ever be able to link me to it IRL.

We're having our annual Christmas party this year. Wife and daughter are in charge of the invite list. I just go to the farmer’s market and buy the ingredients for large cauldrons of beef stew I make — one of them with chilis, the other mild. Anyway, it’s this Saturday, and was driving with my 13-YO daughter, asked her which of her friends she invited. (Thought she’d say like 4-5 people.) She rattled off a list of 15-20 people. Our apartment is comfortable for three of us, but it’s not especially large. So I asked my wife how many people she invited? She said she’s sure a lot of them won’t come even though she says that every year, and every year almost all of them do. Then she says, I’m sure they’ll be staggered, not all there at once. Again, not true from my experience as EVERYONE is there at around 9- 10 pm. Last year, the kids all had to go out to a small local part because it was too insanely crowded. This year, I expect 30-40 percent more people than last, especially kids. Wife who gets more stressed out by hosting than I do, I’m realizing, is in total denial too. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
