There are no journalists anymore, only party apparatchiks perpetuating narratives and conspiracy theorists testing their hypotheses.

Was bored on the flight last night, had this conversation with Grok about possible guard dogs/animals for one’s house: https://x.com/i/grok/share/hQdZcOZPcuPwwlbSxm7f0ZmfM

Central Park yesterday:

Heading to NY. Anyone want me to bring them back something?

The gap between what you imagine you will experience and the actual experience is unbridgeablde.

Read an interesting thesis re the war in Ukraine and why the EU is resisting a settlement so hard: They are using the seized Russian assets (hundreds of billions) as collateral already. If the war ends, and Russia gets them back, the EU collapses. Don’t know if it’s true, but it explains a lot.

Why you shouldn't listen to football experts -- same reason centralized planners always fuck things up.

Just asked Grok whether this was true, it said no, then I asked it for the area of an infinity many sided polygon with radius 1, and it said π and conceded. View quoted note →

A circle is just a polygon with infinitely many sides. Prove me wrong.

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.
