In whites who are psychotic, creative, or creatively psychotic there is a noticeably increased tendency to have extremely thick dark hair and thick eyebrows. I’ll now put on a slideshow of great creative crazies of this type:

Physical unreliability from a dad is one of the worst things for a kid. Did you notice a corresponding emotional/energetic distance between the moms and their kids, a lack of attunement? (Perhaps even hiring a nanny is a sign of this?)

Maybe it’s just aging, but as my intelligence has become more embodied and alive, my patience for pure abstraction problems has plummeted. I just couldn’t care anymore.
I was Vice’s copy editor during its prime years. At some point they ran a 35k-word interview with Elmore Leonard. It was pretty much the last gasp of the era of interesting magazines.
VICE became a government-parroting, self-righteously woke, corporate media company that mocked "conspiracy theorists," but before that it had open-minded editors that were free to do what they wanted to do and who showed an interest in me and my friends, having us write for it
It's not that making friends is bad, it's that adult men should not have the time for more than a few.
If you're a man over 30 and you have more than 5 truly close friends, you're probably lazy, weak, and need social support to backstop your self-esteem and convictions.
“Sir: I have read your article on Urbit. Until now I had believed myself the only person convinced of its existence. Today there are two of us, tomorrow there will be ten, perhaps more, and we can attempt the expedition. We must meet without delay. I shall be expecting your call”
When you were partying, I studied the blimp. And now that the world is on fire and the barbarians are at the gate, you have the audacity to come to me for help?
Imagine fading Milady
Imagine fading $BLIMP
Imagine fading Urbit
Imagine fading me and my friends, fading people who can see the future in the present

Proud to be a friend of Jon’s and an investor in his company. Our aesthetics aren’t identical, our politics aren’t identical—building the infrastructure for constructive disagreement is something we both care about. We were onstage together last year in Lisbon. No one ever taught
Breaking: the Guardian has exposed a family man with a loving wife and many beautiful children, who played college basketball, worked for Google, traveled the world, then had a 10-year career in academia before starting a highly successful publishing company.
I'm shook.
Another long drive, another reality-bending podcast, ten episodes of Zayd Dohrn’s portrait of his mother, Bernardine; father, Bill Ayers; the Weather Underground; and the cult that truly runs this country. It’s one of the most dishonest, hypocritical pieces of art I’ve ever
@wesyang
Dohrn may have been singularly responsible for the turn toward identitarianism—her son made a podcast about her, listening to her justify her actions made me want to throw my phone across the room—she is not a hero but a villain
I don’t know if this will make any sense or seem glib about serious things, but it’s something I’d like to work out for myself, and tangentially has to do with what I’m interested in with $blimp.
Intellectually, for a few years I’ve accepted an idealist position that we live
Driving up the mountain to friends’ for dinner, listening to Louise Hay read You Can Heal Your Life, I hit a small deer, a two-year-old doe, who ducked under my bumper from the side. I pulled over. She looked at me. I ran back to my truck and continued up the mountain. My friend
Apparently the author of this Medium received a written complaint, which needs to be partially quoted:

At the risk of sounding insane, I believe there is something like a parasitic entity that attaches to incubator babies and others (high-functioning autists etc?) like a second skin made of energetic Saran Wrap. Once you’re aware of it, it is not hard to remove. It took me one or
Were you an incubator baby? Do you feel like you can never quite touch the world directly, like you’re covered in energetic Saran Wrap? Do you have a lot of ungrounded energy, like there are literal short circuits in your system? Do you feel a constant subtle restlessness and
I’m only 25 minutes in, and this is already the most interesting podcast I’ve heard in months. On the deep, essentially supernatural implications of fungal infection.

I do suspect an intuitive almost magic ability to look at a problem and *know* the answer without doing the work might be coming online, though, like tapping into the field directly
Lots of questions lately so let’s just clear this all up. God told me to go be unhinged online and at great material loss I obliged. It’s not that complicated

This story is so ridiculous, I don’t know if I’ll manage to finish typing it on my phone. The last time I did mushrooms, at some point I became fixated on a few frozen vertebrae just above my sacrum, and something shifted and I was within a violent car accident (not one I can

Recently I’ve been paying some attention to

and rereading Seraphim Rose’s Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future, which treat the New Age and kundalini as demonic counterfeits of the Holy Spirit, vehicles for the Antichrist. I take this stuff seriously, as a
That CGY could join a panel at Assembly in a relatively normal (non-worshipful, non-scandalous, long-winded) way means that the inoculation his reputation provided Urbit against entryism is fading. This is a good and a bad thing, unclear in what proportion.
“Hermes” is the root of “hermeneutics,” at least in Heidegger’s folk etymology. I have an orange and white cat named Hermes who is notably unhermeneutical; and even so, I interpret him.

many year accumulation at the bottom results in quality holders that know how to hold and won't sacrifice the price of opportunity cost for a mere 1000x
