  • The internet has become a fury delivery system. The stories that infuriate us, they are designed for exactly that. Reality is something utterly apart from the stories.

  • Infidel defilers. They shall all drown in lakes of blood. Now they will know why they are afraid of the dark. Now they will learn why they fear the night.

  • Money is religion now. It's scary to be rational about it. There's a dogma and that's that. Any other way and we freak out.

    What started “weirdo” as a slur just recently?
  • Language evolves with every generation, yes. But I offered something different from that.

    I offered that the relationship between word and thing was becoming more tenuous. Like two telephones drawing further apart. The conversation breaking up.

    We talk less about reality now. We talk more about talking.

    What started “weirdo” as a slur just recently?
  • I just recently heard it used that way. To describe "conservatives". Much like "yikes" I guess. They assign a new meaning to it and thus it is so.

    Words are different these days. Like, words used to have a secondhand association with reality. But now it's thirdhand.

  • If it doesn't feel right then it's hard (impossible) to give a shit. I hear that a lot here.

    Money, grades, the advice of revered authority. None of it works. I just blow it off. And suffer of course. But I'm still poking along.

    But a couple of things have felt right. And those things go very well. I can draw, I can write software. I can successfully give my attention to a project like that.

    One such thing is meditation. Whatever's going on with ADHD, meditation messes with it. I found the button in the center of my head that makes ADHD happen. It feel 100% right. It's like I found a magic thing.

    So if you are an ADHD guy then maybe it would feel right for you too.
