I'm getting a bit of conspiracy theory fatigue. Every major event like this JFK/9/11/Vegas shooting/Trump assassination attempt/Kirk assassination just has endless loose ends, unanswered questions, unexplained facts. It’s almost like a huge part of the psyop is to make everyone waste their time becoming online detectives. It’s like fucking Wordle for critical thinkers. New puzzle every few months.

The reverse cancel culture going on for the people celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination is really fascinating to me. The liberals being cancelled are so used to being on “Team Good” they can’t believe what they’re saying is subject to consequences. That’s only for racists and anti-vaxxers. At least when I was posting about covid, I KNEW I was saying something with which sycophantic pearl-clutchers and virtue signalers would probably take issue. Feels like these clowns have policed the cultural discourse for so long they're totally blindsided. Getting canned from their jobs left and right, didn’t see it coming at all. I don’t know if this is a good thing — yes, these people would cancel you in a heartbeat for expressing even the mildest dissent regarding evil totalitarian policies, and yes it’s classless and vile to celebrate the death of someone who engaged in peaceful discourse just because you don’t like his view, but losing your livelihood for making a stupid and classless post is draconian. They too are just engaging in speech we don’t like. They didn’t shoot Charlie Kirk. On the other hand, it’s hard not to have some schadenfreude seeing the intolerant subjected to their own medicine. As I said I don’t know if it’s a good thing, but it might be necessary. More just a fascinating thing because unlike people who dissented during covid and knew the compliant mob was coming, seems like these idiots hadn’t the faintest clue.

I really like nicotine, but nicotine on demand is spiritual poison. As much as I'd like to buy a pack of Velos, I know it's a mistake. Better off sticking to 2-3x weekly cigars.

Probabilistic thinking is for when you don't know. For things you know, it will lead you astray.

Grow some plants out on my small balconies. One was an avocado pit I put in a wet paper towel, it sprouted and I planted it in a pot. A small tree had grown up, maybe two feet tall, over the last year or two. Over the summer, we travelled, and it got hot, so when we got home all the leaves on that and the persimmon tree were dead. I watered them, the persimmon came back to life, but the avocado just had old dead leaves in it. Was bummed out because (a) plants are almost family to me and (b) I was planning to transplant it into the ground on a property we have as soon as the construction is done, let it grow into a full tree. Still, I watered it anyway, sent it good vibes, had it in my thoughts. Suddenly just today, noticed new small leaves growing out of the sides of the stalk. It’s come back to life.

"Due to the total pussification of my mind, body and soul I catastrophically failed to see the single most important economic development in humanity’s history. This despite decades of study and pontification on the subject of economics. There is no excuse for such abject mental, psychological and spiritual cowardice. I am hereby resigning my position and withdrawing from public life to contemplate my shortcomings. Thank you for your attention to this matter.” Fixed it. View quoted note →
