Sitting here on a deserted beach in a typically popular beach town, ripping some American Spirits & thinking about fear.

This towns been decimated this year. I think around 1/3 of businesses closed for good and that # is growing.

All because of our collective response to fear

We’re designed with an acute fear response. This response used to serve as a mechanism to fight off Sabre tooth tigers and warring tribes.

Unfortunately, now it just serves to bend the masses to whatever manufactured trauma the elite want to inflict

I’ve talked w/ as many people as I could find. Subtly getting their take on the situation.

Even your biggest right wing people here succumb to the notion that they may die w/o a mask and brag about getting tested w/ absolutely no symptoms

It makes me sad.

To witness people so paralyzed with fear.

To see businesses that’ve existed for 10, 20, or 30 years go under.

And no one blames those actually responsible.

The streets are littered with homeless, who’re still ticketed if in a group.

Shops are boarded up.

Otherwise the streets are empty.

We live in such a safe society that any risk to our being, no matter how small, sends the average person into a frenzy.

We weren’t designed to be like this, but here we are.

My ask of you is this:

Whatever you fear in your life, compare that to being attacked by a vicious wild animal, or a tribe full of barbarians looking to kill & rape everyone in their path

Whether it be interviewing for that job, starting that business, talking to that girl you like, or whatever else.

Know that your aversion to the task is based on the idea that you or everyone you know would be killed.

You’re responding to your fears as you were designed to.

But the fears you face right now are nowhere near the fears you were designed to face.

Stay hard my brothers

Lmao I kid you not, as I’m writing this, a couple of cops rolled up to me asking what I’m doing.

Literally not another human within hundreds of yards of me.

Absolute insanity.
