The ego is taking longer to die than I had hoped

Instead of sorry, explanation.

Instead of empathy, score keeping.

Energy killers

I need you to exist

For me to exist

Without my idea of you

What am I?

Thank you, but the loss was the idea of him. The time spent struggling to be something.

“I” am the loss. The ego constructs the story to create the thing that is lost to build a self image upon.

A sand castle.

Of course there is sadness.

My father died just before my daughter was born. I couldn’t be there for any of it due to my wife’s condition.

But I didn’t want to be there either.

He spent his life chasing something. He only realised it at the end. His chasing meant running away, from my perspective.

I had already stopped chasing my idea of him.

What he truly is, cannot die. What died, was a phantom.

One insight that seems so stupid at first glance for me, and for others makes them feel like they know a secret and are super smart.

You don’t actually know anything. No thought is true.

Until you experience it viscerally, it just seems like any other idea.

I remember you saying the old world is dead. It can’t be fixed. We must build the new one.

Even an “open markets” politician is still a fiat politician. Theft is theft. It’s just a matter of degrees.

I have no hope for the old world. That’s not cynicism, it’s freeing.

As long as humans are humans, “real capitalism” will never exist, just as much as “real communism” will never exist. The best we can do, is minimise trust-based systems and maximise trustless.

It’s a huge relief to let go of the need for things to be the way I want them.

Imaginary people are stopping me from doing things I pretend I want to do.

Who specifically is stopping her?

No one.

People who blame “society” are fucking deluded.

There, I said it.

If he’s awake, he has the direct experience of not existing. So no. There’s no such thing as a bitcoiner. That said, morals are as obvious as a slap in the face when you wake up, so yes he is a bitcoiner whether he knows it or not.

The debt didn’t evaporate when he came into office. I don’t know what people expect. The guy still has to work with what he’s dealt.

Created a Facebook profile a decade after I deleted it.

Holy shit it’s dead. Ad breaks after ads followed by shorts that are ads and clickbait.

The internet is dead.
