let's kill all mosquitoes

Gm

No Twitter on my phone for about a year now. Life much better. More attention on my family when I’m with them. Scrolling was causing neck pain on the side I hold my phone. Inner peace is the way. I still tweet from the desk and wish my business model didn’t depend on social media promo so much, but alas.

GM, count your blessings!

gm I hate app stores like nothing else

Just cut it small.

If steak is not good for toddlers, why is it good for adults 🤔

it is horrible for adults too

i strongly believe children should not have access to social media

i also strongly believe that governments should not force users to provide identification to access the internet, they use kids as the excuse but the real reason is control

ultimately parents are responsible for their children

Are numbers real? Strings? Quarks? Electrons? Atoms? Molecules? Cells? Organs? Limbs? People? Families? Clans? Villages? Cities? Countries? Continents? Planets? Solar systems? Galaxies? Superclusters?

Or are all these abstractions just part of some weird power game?

The reason I keep harping on having children is because it’s similar to the epiphany of Bitcoin.

There are people out there who benefit from you being weak, atomized, and alone.

They’ve sold you a vision of freedom that actually serves them, not you.

The truth? Your life will be more vast, more meaningful, more fulfilling, and more joyful with a family.

You’ve been taught to believe the opposite, not because it’s true, but because it makes you easier to control, easier to extract from, and easier to discard.

This isn’t me judging you.

I believed the same lies.

I was seduced by the cheap, shallow narrative of personal meaning and individual passion, and I was miserable.

I didn’t find peace or purpose until I submitted to being responsible for others.

That’s where the meaning is. That’s where the beauty is. That’s where real life begins.

Trying to find your purpose in art, travel, or endless self-optimization is Malthusian psych warfare. Population control by spiritual demoralization.

It was never designed to make you whole.

It was designed to make you disappear.

Which sci-fi book is so good you wish you could read it again for the first time?

Unpopular opinion: there are too many limits to pseudonymity to make it viable.
