How it feels to study history as a hobby

You become a man once you influence others more than others influence you.
“The truth was that Bodhidharma had found wisdom which could only be transmitted to someone prepared to receive it, and then it was a wisdom which could not be put into any intellectual formula. Only those who wanted it so much that, like Shang Kwang, they were prepared to give anything for it could understand. To others it was nonsense,”
— Alan Watts, The Spirit of Zen 
“An ordinary man is in truth a Buddha just as he is, and if he asks, ‘Why, then, don’t I know it?’ the Mahayana and Zen alike would reply, ‘Why do you ask the question?’ In other words, this is a way of saying, ‘Do you really feel that you are a separate self? See if you can experience what you call your ego concretely. Discover the actual sensation which you interpret as your self-hood, and see whether it may not have been misinterpreted. Turn your attention to actual first-hand concrete experience and do not be misled by ideas and conceptions about it.’”
— Alan Watts, The Spirit of Zen 
If you’re about to say something mean, say something funny instead.
The most coherent vision of a positive libertarian future is described in “The Sovereign Individual.”

“That government is best which governs least.”

It is possible to have highly effective, yet minimalist governance.
This concept, known as a Watchman State or Minarchist state, was prevalent during the Gilded Age of America and the Victorian England.
In such a state, the government enforces the non-aggression principle to maintain an orderly, law-abiding society without interfering in business practices or daily life. Civilization tends to prosper under these conditions. 
Libertarians and right-wingers have much to learn from one another.
To a right-winger, libertarians lack the ability to make the changes needed by not being willing to use statist tactics to consolidate power. Libertarians are therefore too idealistic and ineffective.
To a libertarian, right-wingers fall into the same statist traps as leftists, which results in loss of individual liberties and increased government control, which backfires once power shifts.
There is a Middle Way.
Graphic tees are left-wing coded.
Plain tees are right-wing coded.
The pipeline is real. It will only intensify as legacy media wanes. #Bitcoin #Nostr 
“When you get into a deep problem, where there is no easy decision one way or the other, you must look at the problem from the point of view of an artist. Which way of doing this is, in some sense, greater?”
— Alan Watts

Checking in on democracy—
1. Dems prevent any kind of competitive primary election, pushing aside RFK Jr despite his popularity.
2. Dems insist Biden is mentally fit, and gaslight anyone who says otherwise.
3. After the debate, Dems all move together like a flock of birds, saying he isn’t fit now and needs to drop out, as they realize he won’t win reelection.
4. Biden refuses to drop out. He doesn’t get the hint, or doesn’t care.
5. Trump surges in popularity after the failed assassination attempt. Biden still refuses to drop out. Dems panic.
6. Biden drops out via a tweet. We still haven’t heard from him directly. We’ve only heard from his handlers.
7. Next, Dem oligarchs will choose whatever candidate they want, without any input from American voters.
Is this democracy?
