When someone says something as ludicrous as “I only care about GPD growth” the proper response is not to argue with them, it is to invite them to get some air and touch the grass.

Excessive rationality leads to madness

[[GK Chesterton]] understood this
Midwits always want more, but the kingdom of heaven in at hand.

Even Jimmy John’s understands this
Political permaculture means you will despised by all agents of Moloch.

Yeah sure resolving inner conflicts is cool, but have you tried deliberately starving yourself to death? ImageImage
“Something in our soul has a far more violent repugnance for true attention than the flesh has for bodily fatigue. This something is much more closely connected with evil than is the flesh.”
“That is why every time that we really concentrate our attention, we destroy the evil in ourselves.”

Men will literally take acid and demand to see a priest after midnight mass instead of going to therapy.
Confession is by far the most underrated part of Catholicism.

Worst things you’ve ever done, shit you wouldn’t even tweet about, the priest has heard worse, possibly this week!
My 2022 grail quest is to inspire 1% of the lapsed Catholics that follow me to start going to confession on a monthly basis.

When I was 19, at the only rest stop on the 250+ mile Fermont fire road in Canada, I met a trucker showed me pictures of his wife and his prized possession, a chrome blue semi he'd bought just for himself

I learned that when they aren't feeding cities, big rigs can pop wheelies
I think about that guy a lot. He taught me a lot about the joy of work.
The story is true, but I thought to share it today to test if tweets with Canada and Truckers in them are being throttled on timelines. Certainly seems they are.

“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.

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
