The fitness world is one of the most retarded and dysfunctional spheres you could ever imagine. It’s mostly built on mental illness and insecurity. People who think because they know how to get a six pack they’ve solved the mysteries of the universe. Gimmicks and grifts galore. Levels of criminality not seen anywhere outside of politics but with less intelligence and more violence.
It’s very lucrative selling people on immortality or looking perfect, but it’s more Dorian Gray than Icarus, it just eats away at the insides. Accelerated deterioration. Deeply incurious, it’s not about discovery, solutions, or development, but a means to ignore the real problems. I wish I could call it hubris or even hedonism, but it’s just masturbation on display like a cam whore.

Having sex is just like riding a bike — you never forget how to rethread the sprocket by securing the chain to the smallest cog through the rear derailleur pulley wheels.

Okay, since it was offered I created a subscription thing.
If anyone is interested in subscribing, let me know what you would like to read about!
Would you like to talk about classical education? Or the books I’m currently teaching and some of the cool things we’ve been discussing?
Or do you wanna talk theology?
Or do you want me to just write silly little Knowles Vanderbeek stories?

We have a cat that roams the neighborhood my kids call Blackie. At first we thought Blackie had an owner and was just a roamer, but he/she(i haven’t inspected the sex, but from now on it’s “she”)has stuck to being around our house for over a month despite the fact we never fed her and the kids were told to not interact with her.
Now it’s getting cold and I don’t think she has an owner and we don’t want her outside. We’ve been feeding her the last few days and got a crate from my mother-in-law we’ve lined and covered with blankets and are thinking of adopting her. But that comes with vet bills we don’t have money for.

We open on a dark house. Trash everywhere. A 350 pound man wakes up in a start. Torn yellow wallpaper hangs off the wall.
The man struggles to his feet and his eyes dart around the room as if he’s never seen it before.
He falls to his knees and starts digging through the trash until he finds what he’s looking for. A bottle. There’s just a tablespoon of cheap whiskey in it but he laps it up.
He shuffles through the trash and collapses into his chair and puts his hands on his temples. “Sh*t,” he mutters. “Goddammit.”
A malnourished cat nudges his leg and he explodes in a violent rage, throwing his now empty bottle against the wall where it shatters. Another torn piece of wallpaper, not that it matters. Not that anything matters.
Light from the window hits his face and he curses again, this time without anger. He has lost the will to feel angry. He could simply stand up and close the curtain, but he lacks the will to do that too. The sun will simply shine in his eyes now. That’s the way it is.
The sound of children playing outside floats in, but that world is dead to him. It might as well be an alien planet. He will get up and leave at some point today, or maybe tomorrow if he can find another few drops in an empty bottle, but if he does leave the house, he will avert his eyes from the children. Not that he feels shame. More that the children have a light in their eyes that causes him physical pain. Their lives expose the darkness he feels in his heart.
Maybe not even darkness. Emptiness.
Nothing.

The Fred Follower Replacement Theory is just a conspiracy theory. It isn't really happening.

A lot of headlines say it is shocking that South Africa's ANC got just over 30% of the vote in local elections last week.
In one sense, it is. This used to be the most revered liberation party in the world. In that context, it is shocking that in just 30 years fewer than 1/3 of voters supported it.
In other ways, it's entirely unsurprising. Under ANC rule, SA's infrastructure deteriorated, the economy massively underperformed, criminality spiked, and corruption flourished, all while ANC elites chased ideological projects abroad that had zero affect on South Africans' well-being.
Voters are the same everywhere. They understandably most care about issues that affect their day-to-day lives: safety, jobs, and cost of living. In democracies, voters will rebuke politicians who don't deliver in those areas, regardless of the glow that once surrounded their party.
