posted this morning: you may have heard about the tornado situation in kentucky. in my friends town like 70 homes were destroyed. its not much but we are selling some stuff here to raise money for it. we’re like 30% of the way to todays goal here already (~$1100). check it:
hello i will now tell you things that i know about kentucky to raise awareness for our little micro operation here

did you know kentucky has an esoteric connection with japan (its real). in fact colonel sanders went to japan many times (did u know this)
in fact although i can not find my own photos or the tweets at this time, on one esoteric americana roadtrip i went to the grave of colonel sanders. it is tucked away in the back of this nice cemetery. notice anything interesting here btw
thank you for dispensing this epic lore my friend
there is much esoterica regarding the kentucky japan connection. for example technically KFC in japan was formed with mitsubishi (zaibatsu moment), who at least recently, later, took over KFC in japan. this makes sense as KFC is technically a luxury brand
[vouched]

we are about 80% of the way to today's goal

✉️ there are 15 packs left

i’d like to discuss christian and mormon orientations toward knowledge.

for a variety of reasons, mormon theology has been a large topic on X recently. this is one of my main areas of interest, but its difficult to briefly hop into.

so, i really enjoyed reading perelandra: Image
perelandra is the second book in the space trilogy by c.s. lewis. obviously there will be some spoilers in here.

in the book, there’s a few characters that are obviously proxies: a woman is eve, one figure is the devil. the narrator is obviously, to me, a stand in for the author
ransom, the narrator, who i just read as lewis himself, finds himself in an analogy for the garden of eden. he is observing the devil slowly tempt eve, basically. he’s able to get involved and argue a little bit but, he has to sleep, the devil doesnt - he cant stop the process.

parenting has this odd social dimension where youre always actively engaging with how other people see you.

so i go to this street fair. my son (3) gets stung by a wasp. never been stung before. freaks out. i take him out of the crowd and put him on some grass. he’s fine.

[…]
i also just so happened to have obtained an extremely large gyro seconds before this. in my haste and preference for my own flesh and blood, i abandoned the gyro.

when my son is injured, he just wants things to be normal. he personally insists i go back and re-obtain the gyro.
he doesnt want to talk about being injured, doesnt want any attention, he just wants everything to stay normal and not orbit around him so he can deal with it. great. so he wants me, his dad, eating his food like normal, on this patch of grass while he recovers from a wasp sting.

in the 1977 film ‘wizards’, one of the oddest movies ive seen, the earth is split between two opposing forces: one side uses technology, and one side has forbidden technology and instead uses magic. i thought this was an interesting lens to view the present AI discussion through. Image
the term “magic” gained its present english meaning at a time when our society was entirely religious. so, obviously, socially dominant religion with its hierarchy, history, and institutions used the term magic to denote what was outside it: witches, the occult, and such things.
however, we no longer live in that world. today, if we remove the baggage from the word magic, we have to be slightly honest and admit that talking to superhuman beings, items with supraphysical holy influence, casting out demons - this is all “magical”, as opposed to scientific.

recently a gnome trapped me in a time loop and refused to let me out until i produced a full century of fake 'new yorker' comics, one for each decade.

here they are, in order:

jordan peterson’s ’clean up your room’ became a huge joke but no one ever mentioned that his second step was to try to make the room beautiful, because that involves committing to something, putting yourself out there, and engaging with beauty on your own terms as an individual.
to make an aesthetic statement in the form of creating something, like decorating a room, is to engage with the fear the above person describes. because you have nowhere to hide. someone is going to come to your room and say, “you picked that painting?”, and, you did. thats it.
really as much as im not a devotee of the guy the whole set up was pretty good. because once you make something beautiful, its like cleaning one thing in a dirty room. everything else that isn’t beautiful suddenly stands out as extremely not beautiful, then you have to fix that.

a long time ago i was reading this on the subway. old guy taps me. i take my headphones off. he says, "whats that book?". i say "its... a history of magic". he says, "does he say magic comes from God?". i said "uh... yeah, actually". he says "good." then just stood there quietly Image
this happened at the utica avenue subway station in crown heights which i frequented for some time. a few other interesting things happened there. once another guy started talking to me. he was black, and told me he had been privately studying with a rabbi for like a decade

...
apparently he was privately studying history and judaism with a rabbi, alone, and the rabbi had selected him for this process. i asked a lot of questions and the guy did not seem insane, and seemed to know some things that validated his story, but, i could not make sense of it.
