it's amazing how, in the absence of Having A Job, I somehow find a way to put myself in a position where I have at least two important sets of things to do, so that I can procrastinate anyway
it will be interesting to eventually become Fully Financially Independent just to see how I figure out creative new ways to avoid my work
(currently torn between "I have an ebook that's due on Feb 28" and "I have a salon I want to prepare for on Mar 13", both entirely self-inflicted)

possibly the most interesting usage of the word "but" I have ever seen
you can simplify the second half of the sentence to be, "I also believe we must... do science"

which then translates to

"I believe in following the science, but I also believe we must do science" 🙃
which suggests to me that "following the science" is a euphemism for kowtowing to the scientific establishment, which perhaps might occasionally have a cursory and incidental interest in doing a little science

periodic reminder that my youtube channel has one of the best comments sections around and is a great place for thoughtful people to hang out Image
"wait, Visa, are you writing full-length responses to every comment you receive?"

yep glad u noticed

I have always been like this, which is why I get everything I want in life

well, part of why.

a thing i've gotten very good at that I just helped a friend in DMs with is de-escalating other people, eg someone DMs you a massive wall of text, how do you respond to that? I'ma try and share what I can without being too specific
if I get a huge wall of text, I tend to start by laughing and acknowledging ("haha wow this is intense!") – this punctures the solemnity somewhat

if there are lots of intense questions, I try to give short, breezy answers
(fictional eg)

"> should I quit my job and dedicate my life to becoming a therapist"

"yooo that's a big decision. i would take my time with it, talk to more ppl"

> "what does it mean when a lover abandons you?"

"oof that's rough. idk. everyone is running their own diff BS"

i think a lot about all the harsh and critical things people have said about me over the years. i don’t have an actual thread about it because that would come across as psychotic, but i kind of have an informal thread of threads about it in my head
A bit of conventional wisdom i dont agree with is “ignore the haters”. i try to keep tabs on my haters with the same sort of general curiosity that i use to keep tabs of everything else. its a kind of dark and dangerous knowledge but so is learning about people, i think
the danger of immersing yourself too long in your worst thoughts is that you lose all sense of proportion and mistake it for reality, but my antidote to that is to simultaneously immerse myself in the best things, and also to periodically disassociate/depersonalize entirely
