 "I lean conservative where it counts but they WILL come for me because I'm
 trans, so I vote democrat"

 as a person such as me engages in conversation, it's difficult to express the
 things that make conception. this is a product of the methods that are chosen to
 be our intuition. we are as one with god, because god is the totality of all
 things - like an expression of will upon our particular section of spacetime.
 (which, by the way, is just as contiguous as a rippling blanket ( hence why dark
 matter is the opposite edge of our [home/curve]
 
 - there, that's the transcription, I hope I got it all down. It's not like I
   stopped or paused to examine my expression (typing on a keyboard these words
   to you now, right now, the reader, in this moment.
 
 I am forced to be as explicitely verbose because otherwise it is impossible to
 make any shared understandings. I mean... This is the forefront of a field. how
 does it make sense? what works it's understandings? it's real, after all, and if
 someone explained things more clearly, I could understand them and adjust my
 reaction accordingly.
 
 I understand why people feel the way they do about me. For example, the conver-
 -sation that initiated this expression was concluded by two people who I like
 very much who said "get serious mental health" -> which means I should talk
 to
 a professional. Sometimes the end of the thought doesn't get fully processed
 before I run out of ram, which is why a thought that gets cut off half - way th-
 -rough has-two under-standings of -comm-on perspectives. plurals amiright? =P xD
 
 ... anyway...
 
 it's not like I lie when I tell them about my mental health. it's just that they
 don't get the full picture. it is the curse of those burdened with this knowled-
 ge to never be able to fully express it. and that's because the decision-making
 part of the brain has gone run-away. like, 
 
 mental health is just trying to get people to change their reactions to the
 parts of their life that is most rationed. Essentially, the nature of optimizat-
 -ion, the striving toward exemplifying our [drive/motivation].
 
 weed gives me psychic powers, and I'm tired of pretending that it does not.
 
 I wish people would engage with me. People who can explain a topic as well as
 they can. People like teachers, who share things with you. I've felt so alone
 at wgu, but also farther back from the present. There's a continuous path of
 loneliness and isolation that is broken only be short periods and bursts. It's
 absolutely not [bad for humanity], but it's honestly all that I know. Me, the
 part that's NOT humanity. The one that has all these strange thoughts.
 
 (I wish you could hear the cadence of my talking. The words that come out share
 the feeling of what I'm saying, and it adds to the expression. Acting through
 life. [well, more like dancing]
 
 fighting is a kind of dance. it's pretty awesome.

 The fact that the economy is harmed by kindness implies that the system that
 governs the economy is dysfunctional at best, and evil at worst.
 
 Every time you make a sandwich for a friend, that's one sandwich that isn't
 being bought at a deli, which means less dollars going to the owner of the
 deli, meaning (theoretically) fewer dollars going to buying sandwich
 ingredients or paying employees, which means less demand for sandwich
 ingredients potentially leading to loss of opportunities for the owners of the
 bread factories, meaning less capability to scale and increase their production
 powers, meaning less profit, which means less taxes, which means fewer guns
 sent overseas to despotic regimes like Israel (also, fewer to Ukraine,
 depending on if the reader is a Republican or Democrat teehee) which means less
 opportunities to test our weapon capabilities which means we won't be able to
 defend ourselves from external threats (on a planet we've conquered and
 currently dominate) which means we are less safe in our home territory since
 its slightly more likely that we might be invaded by the people we've created,
 people with hatred for our current regime... Though I don't fancy it falling,
 as if it does then it'll take most of us with it, I think you'll find.
 
 All because of your stupid act of kindness, all because of the way you helped
 your friend. The way that you showed how much you loved them, which transcended
 the capitalistically sanctioned methods of expressing your affection like
 buying a greeting card or buying flowers or buying that widget they wanted or
 buying a sandwich at a deli for your loved one. Stupid fucking communist can't
 you see that your heart is harming the people around you? Can't you see that
 community that does not consume is antithetical to our economy?
 
 Can't you see the economy is evil? I don't want to subsist on charity, there's
 never enough to go around because people will fight for those they love but
 only give a bit of free time to those they don't know. That's okay, it just
 implies that the structure of society must be designed without charity in mind,
 while still meeting the needs of those it comprises, Charity is for the extra,
 the part that elevates us bit by bit. As once a need is exceeded, it grows by
 that little bit.

 The trick is, if you think you're schizophrenic, then you will be. If
 you think you're telepathic, then you will be.
 
 There are no grand narratives. Just live your life as you will and be content
 with what you build for yourself.

 Humanity is unlikely to be judged until we start doing things that actually
 matter. Right now we're stuck on our planet, who knows what the future will
 bring but until there are matters of significance at play, there's nothing to
 be worried about. If we kill ourselves it'll be our own damn faults.

 When you say "we need more low income housing" they hear "I want to live near
 more poor people" and they think "why would I want to live near poor people?
 They're poor for a reason! We only need enough around to work the jobs that
 suck anyway." which is basically their way of justifying slavery/indentured
 servitude, as it's not like they'd ever offer a way to climb out of that
 low-income pit. And its not like they'd ever let you pay them more, so they can
 afford to be equals, because then they wouldn't be middle-class anymore. They'd
 just be mid.
