America is a nation that began with soaring dreams of freedom and self-creation, then over time it was tested and fractured by money, race, war, desire, and technology, until it was forced to confront whether it still believed in the meaning of its own promise. For me? The answer is without doubt. Emphatically yes. I still believe in America.

Become the thing you’re scared of. That’s what Batman did. And the other guy too, iron man. He’s scared of iron. A lot of people don’t know that.

Sometimes I’ll space out and this recurring thought will play in my mind. About the Belle Époque that was the 90’s and 2000’s. About how it was unceremoniously ripped away and about how the desire to take it back by force will lead to an American dictator. I think about how those who are coming of age now never really knew the beautiful era. They only knew the dismal downturn. But millennial politics are largely driven by a deep unconscious desire to return to the 90’s. And so if American Hitler/stalin/Ceaser etc… does exist he’s probably a millennial. Someone who knows very deeply what was lost and will do anything to try and get it back. I think about how this is probably inevitable and even though I can see it coming in the distance I can’t do anything to stop it. Then I go back to scrolling.

My new favorite conspiracy theory is that there’s only like 5 billion people on the planet not 8. When you look at the various mal incentives to lie about population it makes a lot of sense.

Me explaining bitcoin to a new person I just met (I gave up trying to be normal)

Been shooting a ton of 35mm film lately. It’s so much better than digital photography. It really takes me back to a specific time and place. I love only having 36 shots per roll and having to be patient and wait for the right moment. Shooting less. Being contemplative. It’s like a meditation for me. And the photos are magical. Digital will never be able to replace the chemical reaction of light meeting silver halide.
