“If your eye causes you to sin, cut it out”

AKA: My biblical justification for prolific use of the block button.

Yes, it means I limit who I give attention to on here, but Twitter gamified mental illness and rage is contagious, and not conducive to creativity or curiosity
I block rather than mute for the same reason I would ask someone to leave a party, or kick them out of a bar (except bar for eviction is much lower… since it costs people nothing to ruin a mentions section)
Even 15 min of fame can drive you mad.
Great thread of different size accounts talking block policies

You ever have those moments where you see someone outclass you in some skill you’ve put a bunch of energy into…in EVERY WAY…

and you don’t feel even a little jealous or sad or competitive

Just inspired, grateful, like you want to be a better person IN HOW YOU DO THAT THING?
You ever get that feeling on TWITTER DOT COM?
I get this feeling damn near every time I go look at @webdevMason’s feed

Better ideas
More Courage
Better Humor
More Clarity
Better avoidance of trivial tribal toxoplasma traps

Really beautiful video.

How to get unstuck.

Wanted to rag on @michaelcurzi bout how this is better than any of his vibe reels, was stopped by

A) it’s not true

B) the vibe reels are his “show don’t tell” of the exact message of the video… and the video itself is a “show don’t tell” but with a voiceover of the telling

The cult of capital says profit must go to projects that will produce more profit

We must have progress, so we can have more progress.

This thread has haunted me for days.
Why it is cursed

Why you can not only have a single utility function

Why Odin came down from the tree of recursive self improvement to get hammerfaced in Valhalla

An elevator pitch you say?

*Rolls up sleeves*

The Open Bar Association is a subscription social club, established for the promotion of “Free as in Beer Speech”
But “open bars run up huge tabs” you say?

Won’t you end up overrun by alcoholics who drink you dry and scare away your target market?

Well, turns out “problem drinkers” are almost never capable of passing the “Open Bar Exam”

The ones who do are fun enough to draw a🥇🏆 crowd
The unit economics are surprisingly good. The monthly dues, surprisingly affordable.

Granted, the only drink we serve by the pitcher is PB Arnold Palmers (half sweet tea, half Pabst Blue Ribbon)…

But the caffeine is needed to keep the conversation lively.

Heresy Thread

1 like = 1 thing I believe to be true which stands against any good Christian doctrine AND the moral zeitgeist of our times
The holocaust was God on God violence
You are the universe having a conscience experience, as such, God is with you (fully feeling your experience) in every joy, sorrow, pain, regret, sin and vice.

This solves the problem of evil, and challenges our experience of it.

God holocausted himself, for the Lulz.

The more unhinged my tweets, the more attractive my followers. This seems to be a law of the universe.
Why does #roamcult have more attractive people than any of our competitors?
