Conviction, not hopium.
I really, really prefer to separate the artist from the art.
The entertainment from the entertainer.
I don't want to know your politics.
Happy Halloween #nostr

Conformity
Everything will be fine when the power goes out
Surely an obvious thing
Depends on your cheese cupboard though
Where you put your attention matters
Last months I’ve been lost in #Dune books written by Frank Herbert.
And I can’t remember any other books that made me be gone in their Universes for so long with the “can’t get enough” feeling.
And one thing that impressed me most is his way of writing - unbelievable rich narrative contains philosophical, political, religious, scientific and lots of other terms and definitions.
What you see is my own ‘need to remember’ deck)
I started to make notes of all new words to me, not only google it to understand context, but to make my brain remember it.
My regret I didn’t started it from the very first book, here is the list from last 3 books.
Next step, I’m gonna translate it in English to make me know them in both languages💪
And speaking about #Dune book’s itself I keep my fingers crossed for the extension of the Dune story made by Frank’s children after his death, will be no less dignified than first 6 books🤞
Will see)
P.S. I will be grateful if you share any books from you wow-list,

Dune is amazing but tails off after the first three books.
Have you read the Hyperion Cantos...one of the best.
The Foundation series is also very good
Anything by Heinlein is great.
Humans need a frontier.
A place to get away from overbearing rulers.
A place to try new ideas.
A place to test themselves.
A place to be free.
Let the colonization of the solar system begin.
"Don't you find it interesting that we're there in Afghanistan for all these years, and don't ask anyone what the objective was after year 2 or 3 because you won't find an answer, other than spend money and line the pockets of defense contractors.
When we look at when it stopped, and they're pulling out, and there's people falling off planes—the abomination of how they got out of there—wasn't it interesting that the Ukraine War kicks off within months after this is over.
And now the firehose of fiat printing is just pointed at a different location in the world, but it's still pouring into the pockets of all these elected officials of these regions that develop these weapons systems. Isn't that kind of interesting?
Isn't that interesting that the Speaker of the House just left because the funding in Ukraine was being hotly debated and we were going to go into a government shutdown. The House Speaker is removed from the Republicans because he went against what they were trying to promote, which was to not allow more funding to go into the Ukraine. And within a couple days, now all of a sudden there's another hotbed location that's popping off that now we're going to point the fiat defense spigot at to make more weapons.
Isn't that interesting?"

Same as it ever was in fiat world
Ignoring this is the best thing
The inability to endure discomfort is what defines the weak men that good times create.
Like I said, the best thing we can do is ignore the wars and the warmongering
