Reality is subjective

Christmas rant: Modern Lego sets are retarded and completely destroy the point of Lego in the first place.

Lego is the original Minecraft, an endless expanse of creation and imagination.

These sets turn it into 3D puzzles.

Dumb. Pointless. Garbage.

I once read this guide from the 1930’s on how to pick out a puppy.

You place the dog gently on its back and then hold it there lightly but firmly.

If it makes no effort to flip itself over it’s a chill/lazy dog who will have a mellow personality.

If it struggles to roll over for a bit and then acquiesces and relaxes this is a dog who will take instruction well and is very trainable.

If it won’t stop fighting you and keeps trying to roll over the whole time this is a high strung dog who will remain high strung. Will be hard to train and needs to be put to work in an active way.

According to ChatGPT this was known as the supine restraint test and it was rooted in dominance theory which is currently debunked.

But I’ve always found it useful as a metaphor.

Are you the dog who fights for a little bit and then gives up? Are you the dog who doesn’t fight? Or are you the dog who will keep fighting until you finally get what you want?

This is so great 😂

Communism is a meme ideology that can never work because of human nature.

Anarcho-capitalism is a meme ideology that’s like 6 or 7 technological breakthroughs away from becoming reality.

Worth watch it? Never did.

I just like palindromes

You might be lying more than is healthy for you.

Most people think lying is harmless, just social grease or a shortcut through conflict.

I used to think that too.

But the real damage caused by lying isn’t moral. It’s structural. It’s what it does to your internal model of reality.

To be a convincing liar you have to believe your own stories. And the moment you start believing them, you compromise the part of your mind that knows what’s real. That internal compass, the one that helps you navigate the world and navigate yourself, begins to distort. Hannah Arendt warned that when lies replace truth, our ability to orient ourselves collapses. That’s the real danger.

Lying feels like control, but over time it becomes the opposite. You create a false world, and then that false world starts controlling you.

If you’ve been lying long enough, you’ve already split yourself in two: the part of you that knows the truth and the part of you performing the lie. Carl Jung would say the performer becomes a shadow self you start living inside. And if you inhabit that character long enough, you confuse their desires for your own. Eventually the performance becomes the identity, and your entire life bends around maintaining it.

The prescription is simple, but brutal. Tell the truth again.

But be warned. Truth is expensive. David Foster Wallace said the truth will set you free, but not until it is finished with you.

Telling the truth means killing the false self, and that death is painful because you’ve been identifying with that character for years. You’ve invested in them. You’ve protected them. You’ve let them run your life.

Worse, many of your relationships have bonded not with you, but with the liar, with the persona. And when you kill that persona, people will grieve it. Some will resent you. Some will leave. Some will tell you you’re not yourself anymore without realizing they never actually knew you in the first place.

People love the lie. It’s easier to love. Cleaner. More convenient.

When you start telling the truth, don’t expect applause. Expect resistance. Expect disappointment. Expect people to prefer the mask you wore over the face you’re finally revealing.

But if you stay the course, something else happens.

The world becomes solid again.

Your mind aligns with reality.

Your inner compass recalibrates.

And you stop living as a character in a story you never meant to write.

You come back to yourself.

I'm FOMOing not having cash to put into it!

The only time I buy the dip is when it coincides with my pay day...

The ability to scroll past idiots is a super power.

Leverage it whenever you can and 10x your life.

I need someone to help me out. Not even gpt could help me with an explanation to this meme or where it is from. I'm out of the loop :-S

That’s funny maybe I’ll do a song about not being a bitch and stacking hard af

The reason for a rule often becomes clear just after you’ve broken it.

Friendly reminder that you’re currently dying and this moment is the youngest you’ll ever be and your inevitable death is rapidly approaching and you’re likely stuck in a midlife delusion where you think what you’re doing is important and integral and it’s likely something that you’ll look back on at the end of your life and feel was ultimately pointless and wasted time and you’ll want it back and wish you weren’t so delusional in your 20’s, 30’s and 40’s because now that you’re old the pain of regret is crushing you like a boulder on your chest and you find yourself unable to move from under it. Omg you wasted all your time and there’s no going backwards. The delusion is gone, all you can do is sit in the regret. Why didn’t you say what you really thought? Why didn’t you do what you wanted to do? Whose life were you living? Why did you let them convince you to live it? How could you have been so misguided and delusional? How could you have been such a coward? but then you realize you’re on nostr and you’re still youngish and there’s still time and you just suddenly WAKE UP.
