forcing consent. using social exclusion and framing people who are against it as “crazy” to make people feel pressured to give in as to not be socially ostracized. same thing they do with covid.

Your landlord is taking half your salary, the government is spending your taxes on wars, your boss is pocketing the profits you and your colleagues are laboring for, but instead of fighting them y'all want to fight immigrants and trans people because you are bootlicking cowards.

made the executive decision to get up everyday and slowly but steadily keep moving onto new things. there's just no point in suffering the loss of a future that was never mine

I'm increasingly convinced that the willingness to change your mind is the ultimate sign of intelligence. The most impressive people I know change their minds often in response to new information. It's like a software update. The goal isn't to be right. It's to find the truth.
Have a good week everyone and remember: Embarrassment only exists because we mistake vulnerability for humiliation. There’s nothing inherently shameful about trying, caring, reaching out, or being seen. We give other people’s perceptions far too much power over our existence.x
No one should want a future in which all creative & intellectual work is done by machines, where humans are kept as pets playing games in their homes. All literature & mythology warns against such a fate. Don't go gently into the dystopia they seek.

Love is ethical, before it is emotional. I think about this statement a lot. It is your responsibility that you make sure you do not exploit those who love you. Love is a powerful force, and if in good conscience you value those who love you, you will protect them from themselves

We cannot have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We cannot have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We cannot have peace because it threatens the weapons industry. Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business.

i just don't think the human lifespan is long enough to justify spending five days of every week doing something i'd rather not be doing
There’s a reason the great dystopian novels envision a world without literacy. Those books warned about the very age we’re now living in. Those who abandon reading & writing are surrendering their powers of thinking. What’s shocking is that so many would surrender so readily.

I also think we're uncomfortable w/ the possibility that suffering can fundamentally change someone w/o making them wiser, kinder, or stronger. We want trauma to produce some compensating benefit so the suffering was “worth it,” but unfortunately that’s not always the case

We underestimate how much human potential gets crushed by the struggle to survive. Somewhere, there’s a genius working double shifts who hasn’t had the energy to create anything in months because they’re too fucking exhausted just trying to stay afloat.
