The story goes that after Wittgenstein published his monumental theoretical treatise on theory - the Tractatus Philosophicus - he became a gardener, or elementary school teacher, maybe both, I can’t remember.
But the point of the story, as I interpret it, is that the road of intellectual labor leads back to simplicity, and that is a comforting thought, also very Japanese, Zen-like.
Six years ago: “It’s blockchain-powered!”
Oh… I once also tested a normcore look at The Grove!
Also, no one paid any attention to me.
The more I see the nakedness of the emperor, the more impressed I am with the skill of the wizards who crafted his invisible clothes.
For me it’s taking cbd and just a little bite of a gummy - a low dose - then stretching and meditating for around an hour total, then I have my coffee - iced latte with triple espresso, macadamia milk, agave syrup as sweetener - and it’s the best damn first sip in the world.
I’ve been doing it like this every day for around 6 years now.
you’re dealing with complicated ideas
With many specific components or processes that must be differentiated between each other, and often the difference is negligible, abstract or hazy to the untrained eye.
As a beginner, you learn and memorize the basics.
As an intermediate, you experiment, inject fresh energy into sketching and exploring outside the basic parameters.
As a master, you have returned to basics but with a unique perspective, your added experience to the narrative.
It’s quite beautiful.
Do the bottom one first. Then as next step, do the math of singularities with a paper cylinder and a paper cone, falling through curved spacetime. That’ll take a little more time and effort but you might just start blowing their minds a little deeper with the same pencil and paper folded in 3D.
In the beginning there was a cell…
“Oh, no”
Then one day this cell suddenly found a way to divide and replicate…
“Oh, no” / “Oh, no”
If Gore had not been blocked from the presidency by Jeb Bush’s Florida (with its’ goddamned hanging chads in the ballot) and the right wing Supreme Court purposely dragging its’ feet then saying “there is no time”:
These are but a few of the major sliding door points, there are MANY others.
Yet lazy, stubbornly ignorant narcissistic idiots still insisted and to this day insist that bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe.
These non-voters see their blood-soaked hands and sigh in contentment at their mediocre idea of purity.
All with the blaring self-righteousness of - “I lifted a finger once. Nothing happened overnight. Never again.”
Cheered on by those actively participating in concern trolling divide-and-conquer political campaign tactics, both from within the country and from halfway across the world in China and goddamned russia.
“Well I think these strange scientists should stop wasting their time peering over microscopes when there’s more important things to do… you know… things that common folk like us can understand and relate to immediately” - any typical anti-reason anti-science (probably religious) dolt, ignorantly vulnerable to things like cholera because they draw their water from the same river where people piss, shit and litter upstream.
Everything would be perfect! And we would all be happy!
Parallel universe horseshit is really enlightened and helpful!
Also a waste of your own time. Double edged sword. Unless you like sitting and waiting under flickering fluorescent lighting for your cavity search.
I USED

The philosopher of choice for mediocre self-entitled pricks with delusions of grandeur everywhere.
Fake news, comrad… I mean pardner.
