never trust your heroes
they are not meant to be trusted. but they are still valuable and important.
learn from them, apply what you can, and cherish the best parts of them when
they inevitably fall and let you down.
if they betray you, fucking burn them. if they let you down, accept their
apology but don't give them responsibility until you can trust them again.

like a king who dictates on high, the taller the chair the farther the fall.
how simple is it, when everyone trusts you, to betray the wishes for direction
they grant upon you. By leveraging their direction to forward your own ends,
you are depriving them of the liberty to choose their own ends.
how cruel is it! to be the reason for distrust! alas, who can you go to for
guidance if not anybody you trust?

there will always be people who shine in moments of strife
yet those people will inevitably fail, just as a toothbrush bristle looses
it's strength or a pencil loses it's lead
the trick is to test them in times of peace, so you can know their value
during times that lack it, the trick is to replace them before they become
stalin
never forget that power corrupts, yet power must be wielded by the worthy,
else we fall into shame and despair.

and a "aw fuck off" from those who don't.

Most people don't have justice, especially not TRUE justice, and most people
don't have hope (because most people don't really think about their
circumstances enough to hope for something better), but I do believe that the
kind of hope people have in a place without justice is vulnerable to betrayal.
Doesn't mean it's not hope, doesn't mean it's not justice, it just means they
can be betrayed if they cannot trust the justice they own and cultivate.

Don’t be fooled. Casting doubt about rigorous peer reviewed science
doesn’t mean you are just “asking questions,” it means you are a
conspiracy theorist.
or it means you're so remarkably ignorant that you shouldn't even be in the
room where people are talking about this.
Unless your questions are very basic. "can someone explain to me what XYZ term
means?" or "how long has this particular application method been in common
use?" that kind of thing. Even still, either do some basic research or
relinquish your decision making power until you understand.

Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever

may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the

you shouldn't trust me because I'll let you down.
I would never betray you. But when tasked with my own actions and my own
agency, I never make the right choice.
Like a rabbit who can always find their way home, I am drawn, almost
gravitically, to the path before me, a path which seems to avoid anything
resolute.
alas.

never stop learning
be yourself, but... recognize when "yourself" could be improved
and improve that, over time, when you learn about why you are flawed, and how
to become better
and when you are improved, relish yourself, savor your accomplishments,
cherish your heart, and honor those who helped you
be yourself
never stop
but do that which improves you
never stop learning
never stop being
you can get there, wherever there is, but know that what lies between is more
important than what is on the other side.

All people are good at heart, let's get them what they need for a start.
Some people won't change. Some people are doomed to the life they were given.
It's not their fault, but it is their responsibility, and if they want to be
free, they will respect the rights of others.
These rights we claim for each other are rights that must be taken away from
those who would use them to harm others.
To defeat evil, deprive power, supply kindness, in that order.
No-one is beyond saving, but it is their choice to make. A choice ungiven is a
chance untaken.

all they have to do is only record when you're not in the room (or why not

seem as they like.
people tend to trust the implications of other's opinions of someone. does
everyone hate you? hardly. they just want you gone.
fuck that, I'd only leave if it meant the end of our friendship.
not ideal.
all they have to do is hate you and work against you and never tell you and
act as if you're fine but secretly behind your back plot against you and then
it's EASY to dethrone you.
no thank you.
if you don't want me, then leave me alone. what's more moments of lonely? I am
suited to it.
fight me. contest me. say it to my face.
I don't respect any opinion otherwise of me.
I will act as if you've presented me the truth. ALWAYS. this is what it means

The truth is
The reason none of my revolutions have yet succeeded
Is that the only way
To secure peace and love on planet earth
Is that all the governments
Of the world must topple
Or relinquish their nuclear arms
Each all at once
And i was too quick to slay my false duke
Who plays at king
While i build real power
While i know nothing
Some day i will be eaten by crows. This is what it means to be buried where
you fall. This is my fate as all warriors yearn for. To be eaten by crows
implies that you are either a coward who fled a fight, and i know I'm not, or
you fought to the last for a phyrric defeat, which is honorable. But shouldn't
it be better to fight for victory? Ah, but the gods cherish the fools who face
death with glory, and i am cherished still.

large corporations will often error check constantly which slows down their

every time data passes from one function to another, there's like... 15

then you won't need a bunch of slow-ass if checks every time you want to

I don't know how much simpler I can state it than this:
power is penance
and yet repentance is scant amongst those chosen to lead us.
Voting slows things down. It gives us room to breathe. It is crucial for
long-term operations. Leaders should be chosen for experience, wisdom, and a
humble lifetime of dedicated service to others.
Executive action is important when reactivity and adaptability are important.
Projects should be undertaken by those chosen for merit and spirit. They
should not be chosen for charisma or gravitas - both can be earned in the line
of duty.
Power should not be rewarded. It is it's own reward, the feeling of strength
and control, and it must be wielded with care, precision, and honorable
intention.
Self flagellation and forced humility are self defeating. They are traps that
the greedy fall into when seeking righteous power. They misunderstand the
nature of virtue and seek to claim it for themselves, failing to realize that
virtue helps more than it hedonizes

Others amongst them might go right. Fuck 'em, they always cared for gold over

You are right, their methods have not worked. They have sustained our society
up to this point and for that I thank them - but we are entering a new age for
our country, and we shall build it as a federation.
They are more than welcome to observe and offer insight from their years spent
observing and wrestling with Republicans, but understand that much of their
insight is dealing with their elite class of politicians and not with who you
and I might come across on the street.
They are encouraged to learn from us. To do otherwise is at best to neglect
our only route to a bright future - at worst it is to obstruct us, to delay
us, to keep us running in circles.

unblocked them you could decide again for yourself. Trust me you probably
don't even remember what she said to get herself blocked."
there's like, soooooo many far right people. It's definitely because there's
soooooo few of us and not because they pretty much always agree with
everything that we say, they've just been told that a different way is better.
like, we all agree that people should be able to, for example, go to the
doctor when they are sick. That is basic.
we understand that everyone should be good, and kind, and help each other.
so many things that are shared common understandings, but we disagree on what
that means. Because our media fucking lies to us.

Our fates are calling. We will get stronger. We will overcome.
