grew up with a parent who never met some woo they didnt completely immerse themselves in (families can be complicated, check your assumptions)

the woo affectation allowed them to rationalize and enable my abuse by other family, and it spread to other family members

Now *anyone* can fill their waking time with something, anything, to the point they are like that.

Now think about how woo and occultism and snake oil are so highly correlated with fascism. The opportunity cost of being a rancid bigot is learning how things work.

i tend to be on the other side of whatever the happy medium is for that, highly self-critical and imposter syndrome-y, but i'll take that every day of the week and twice on sunday over an incapacity to even improve

i have to regularly, through no choice of my own, deal with someone who refuses to acknowledge when they are wrong in a way that changes their behavior, and let me tell you, i would not want to live like that. just the most limited capacity for self-awareness you can imagine.

he wrote something the other day that was uncharacteristically sane so now he's gotta dig in and atone for it

Now I have "Jesus built my hotrod" in my head, so thank you (laudatory)

I'm pretty sure I blocked this Take Factory some time ago too
