The fundamental core of MAGA is ultimately to be anti-fun. Their pathology is internally frustrated by “outsiders” celebrating achievements and experiencing joy within a realm they believe they fundamentally own. Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show reveals a key truth - the best way to resist this kind of cultural rejection is just to have fun, to stay cool and to stay winning. No need to take the bait and argue with people that want you as miserable as they are.

Disappointing how creating content is unusable without expeditious use of the block button because people are so eager to project venemous levels of misery & hate. There is this lower level of consciousness that comes with participating in spaces that are designed for lower intent behavior. There’s often little space to work hard for positive outcomes because it’s so much easier to just give into the incentive to polarize and to not resist the temptation of perpetual mediocrity & rage rather than to encourage people to make small but meaningful differences regardless of background or identity. The former is not what community building is; it is what seeking attention is.

The world is wonderful. Life is beautiful. People are great. There is so much to explore and learn. You have no enemies. This is a truth that many will try hard to convince you is a lie. It is important to reject those constant and eager attempts.

Radical postmodernism, a philosophical movement that proceeded the civil rights era, took roughly 50 years to reach its peak where it enjoyed roughly 10 years as the dominant perspective of Americans, but it is steadily in its decline and a lot of people will struggle with a future where essentially antagonizing white and European Americans with impunity will be unpopular. It was valuable with respects to increasing the overall conscientiousness of Americans, but Americans largely reject it in favor of modernist thinking which achieved things like the separation of church & state, the abolition of chattel slavery, the civil rights and significant scientific advancement. In this regression, there’s a real threat that pre-modernist thinking can creep up and arise with things like Christian Nationalism and that sort of thing, which is why it’s important for those who subscribed to postmodernism to adapt accordingly. The failure of postmodernists is that it eventually decayed into belief structures that inevitably lead to acquiring an anti-American and an arguably racist worldview. We, and they, often weaponized grievances of history, revised history and misunderstood much of it as a result. Yet, it achieved the ability to think about increasingly complex problems with regard to climate change, social well-being and the surveillance state. Either way, the next 5-10 years will be sort of lost and aimless, where a lack of consensus in worldviews will be guaranteed and consequences undetermined. Recommendation algorithms are the big threat here, since they are designed for reaction, producing polarization and echo chambers that remove us from the perspective of others. It cannot be overstated how important it will be to turn the TV off.

I’m not a fan of people calling Mexico a “settler-colonial state”. It feels ahistorical and revisitionist. It does not share the same history as the US’ westward expansion. And there is clear reason why Claudia Sheinbaum is a well-regarded president. The settler-colonial state were the empires the preceded the formation of the idea of the Mexico and the colonies were the subjects of those empires. It is true that land was stolen, not by Mexican nationals, but by the Spanish crown. The story of mankind fought long and bloody wars to rid itself of monarchal empires which is why democracies today are so allergic to the idea of dictatorships. The consequences of imperial elitism remain today, but decay with each passing day. Mexico today is a nation where a man from Saudi Arabia or a woman from Japan can choose to immigrate to Mexico and become fully Mexican. And it is ultimately the duty of Mexicans to restore and revitalize the history and progress of its native people, not to deny it as a relic of the past or reject it as an inferior way of life.

The irony of conservatives always using the Slippery Slope fallacy to dismiss progressive initiatives while starting with "We need voter ID mandated" and ending at "You ought to carry your ID everywhere to prevent federal immigration agents becoming justified in detaining you" isn't lost on me

I don't know what I'm doing wrong when it comes to entrepreneurship. I work on good products, make them super affordable, built an audience of 100,000+ followers, reach out to people who ask for what I'm making, make content that's interesting and there's like no conversion. Not to compare, but there are people that literally sell total crap and make a living off of it too. I don't get it.
