Since moving to Texas I've bought three guns now: two hunting rifles and one handgun.
Myself and most responsible gun owners I've talked to agree that it is way too easy to buy guns, and there are so many reasonable restrictions that could be put in place.
Again, pretty much all gun owners I talk to are pro reasonable restrictions on gun ownership!
Pretending like anyone who owns a gun is "crazy" for wanting one only alienates reasonable gun owners, especially since there are plenty of legitimately good reasons to own a gun.
Part of why I think it's interesting is it blends a variety of traditionally liberal and traditionally conservative values into this new techno traditionalist lifestyle, I suspect it'll grow over the next decade.
- psychedelics
- fitness
- FIRE
- farm to table
- broad spiritualism but non-monotheism
- medical freedom
I wonder how many of our mental and physical chronic diseases are attributable in part to spending way too much time inside.
I’ve been tracking alcohol and weed consumption, exercise, time outside, time with friends, diet, sleep, etc, and I can say with pretty high certainty that time outside and time with community are the two biggest factors for my sense of well-being.
I’ll sometimes start to feel anxious or depressed in the afternoon, and when I do it’s always a day I spent most of my time inside.
Worse if I was inside all day and didn’t see any friends.
