time with the right things to share. Sometimes you have to blend in, that's
okay. The words are what are important, if you think "huh yeah true, where's

may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your

mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
collective mind co-re-assigns.

if people want to be loved for more than their money, they should realize that
capitalism lied to them. it told them they deserve their money, their wealth,
their power, their material, their extra fragments of life spent on leisure or
adventure rather than meaningless toil... but that is a lie. all people
deserve everything, and nothing, because "deserving" things is an untruth.

sometimes I think about how much more productive I'd be if I had a code editor
that let me draw arrows and smiley faces and such alongside the code. Or if I
could position things strangely, like two functions side-by-side with boxes
drawn around them. Or diagrams or flowcharts or graphs or...
something that would output to raw txt format, but would present itself as an
image that could be edited.

hatred with platitudes. Don't be spiteful, or vengeful, just... be good to

ah I see. like, hiding their emotions from others and acting in such a way
that is disconnected from their inner tumultuous truth? Like, a form of
deception. That makes sense to me, if I understand correctly.
I think you're also saying it's additionally with the idea that their masked
actions use other people to generate responses that they want. I think I see
what you mean.

sometimes your best intuitions don't manage to manifest the goal you've been
pursuing. that's okay, it just means you need a different approach.
hopefully, with experience, you've had the chance to continually pay
attention. Thus, improve on things that were originally conceived of as
concessions.
much better, I find, to point your idea of "truth" toward what you believe in,
rather than what you've been working with. Such an approach allows for
continual re-examination, justified by thoroughly moral and ethical
conclusions that you hold to be true.
like, a form of reverse legalism, where the emotions compel while the law
tells the tale.

well that makes sense, but why are they accusing you? seems like you'd only
accuse someone of something bad, otherwise you'd probably commend or
compliment or find a way to refer to your non-existent "canadianosity" in a

people seek to manifest their desired results in the principles of the people
who they are engaged with. that is a reframing of the idea that people engage
in
conversation to sway their partner to their side of an argument.
however, when one person is like... way WAY ahead of the other, it's not
because
they have more confidence, but rather because they have learned the most
independent of their partner.

one of the greatest gifts LSD gave me was the ability to look in the mirror
and see a person beyond me.
your reflection has all the same emotions as you, and if you look at them like
you'd try to parse the feelings of a friend, you can learn a bit more about
how you're thinking.

hey I dont disagree that what you're describing is a common outcome, but if it
works for them then I consider that a success.
I however, am different, I do believe in my heart that I am my own thing, and
thats as close to enlightenment as I can imagine.
are we not all making things up as we go? every moment of life is new, there
is nothing that is not unique about every precious moment you experience.
therefore, I do believe that rigid adherence to orthodoxy (like a bible) is
opposed to our purpose here.
"I think, therefore I am" implies that original thought is our true purpose.
I believe we are here to express our true nature. To learn and apply lessons,
to teach the young, and to build a strong and stable world built on collective
kindness and trust.
All knowledge is derived from the insights gained from standing on the
shoulders of our ancestors.
Humans crave novelty. Resisting that isn't virtuous. If god is made in our
image, then I do believe that god would crave novelty as well.

cops thought "enforcing the law" was their job when really it was "keeping the
peace"
and like, yeah, sure, laws define how they optimize for
but sometimes the laws are just out of reach.
(though such an impartialized system is also pretty flawed in it's own unique
ways, like for example the enforcers of the law would be able to apply their
law selectively, which... would not be great.)
downside is... how do you dissent to those who cannot hear you? you have to
break things
which is why I believe that breaking things unnecessarily is unethical.
sometimes you have to do a MORE unethical act in the pursuit of your goals,
however nefarious or not they may be, but as long as they are done in pursuit
of a greater grander truth, then... the ends justify the means? right?"

doom is like sand thrown on a fire.
don't spread it unless you are intentional about it. sometimes it's good to
smother fires. other times it's cathartic. that's okay.
but keep in mind the future goals. where are we trying to get to in the near
future? work towards that. your emotions are fuel, not despair to wallow in.
