Anarchy up in the patriarchy and we're loving it.

I stand not by my country but by the people of the whole fing world.

If you want to go fast, go alone; but if you want to go far, go together.
I deserve the anguish of [the other social media platform], "man it's all xyz now" yeah of course.

I just wish this one wasn't such an insulated echo chamber, but then that's what this one WOULD be.

Still better on every level, just not as entertaining, and that's the curse of the west...

Most likely anyone who espouses "logic and reason" don't mean "I aspire to understand the use of" but "I am probably the ONLY one who (somehow naturally) understands the use of"

It's more self-supremacy than enlightenment, and will be used as a weapon, not for teaching.

Jeez how close is this new Frankenstein to the original story? If it does it justice why didn't we make the Dr the Halloween costume?? That guy is 100% horrible, unforgivable. Is that the point?!

So then why do we make the creation the monster?? The creation is absolutely blameless.

You're a smart person, right? What do you do when a "smarter" person tells you you're wrong? Do you immediately change all of your views and ideals to meet this new info? Probably not right?

So maybe be careful when you're condemning those "dumber" than you for not immediately seeing it your way.

Morals aren't "competitive", they're not "profitable", that's not the point of morals and never has been. You either have morals or you don't.

If you actually have morals I'm sure you're quite willing to lose competition or profit, and it's unlikely you are willing if you don't.

We mistake charisma for an active choice rather than just what happens as part of their personality. They burrow into your soul because they can.

Always be wary, even Sam Harris admits he's suffered the fools of shiny smiles. If it can happen to him it can happen to ANY asshole.

Don't be asshole.

I consider it a life-well-lived if I die with nothing in the ditch, rather than live comfortably upon the bones.

"so what are YOU doing about it?"

"Never enough" Perfectly reasonable response, while they're doing the opposite you may feel bad about your contribution.

Is it better to feel good and enjoy your life, while you let people suffer??

The motive matters. Don't give up. ✊💖

"sorry, can you ask that question differently?" (Emphasis NOT on "sorry")

Let them think they've made a mistake, because they probably have anyway.

"what should you suggest I do?"

Is a far better question to ask than "what should I do?"

Let them think about what THEY should do, not what YOU should do.

Remember: not "what WOULD you suggest?", but "what SHOULD you suggest?"

"why do you have to be so weird? Can't you be average like the rest of us? Can't you be basic? Can't you be generic?"

You prefer the word "normal" but if you use it for bigotry you should understand how foolish you're being.

Believe in a higher power or not, there's no way I accept the title "lord" for any human.

Funny how we just give it a pass if we attach "land" to it.

People think the "golden rule" (do unto others) is the end goal of personal development, something to aspire to.

If so, then you missed the point. It's not the end, it's the START. The BARE MINIMUM.

If you haven't made it the default setting in your daily life you might not be a good person. 🤷🏻‍♂️

"my dearest D, you were the best

I could do at the time. I hope in my heart you can say the same, otherwise man am I piece of shit for saying this."

-an asshole.

"how are you?"
"Never been happier"
"Oh that's great!"
"Why would that be great?"
"Well you said you were really happy?"
"No I did not."

Borrow from the future in order to just survive for today, is that a life worth living? Your future needs it more...

It is absolutely fruitful to be nice and kind, it's just that we need to do it as a group.

Being a jerk is definitely safer if your only interest in life is what YOU get out of it.

If you're doing the wrong thing, do it fast, get it done as quickly as possible.

If you're doing the right thing, don't stop, ever. Don't let anyone stop you. You don't do it because someone else lets you or because you'll get a reward for it, you do it because it is the right thing.

Ahh the bully...

Either they respect you for fighting back, and f them for that, or, more insidiously, they pretend THEY have been the victim of YOU.

Just remember who started it, and "the axe forgets, the tree never does."

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world.

This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

"people lose their imagination when they grow up"
Of course they don't. They just call it something else, eg the economy, or the market, and obviously the media.

But nothing is more make-believe than the separation of classes, calling it childish is insulting to children. ✊
