Disagree with this. Instead you should read dense and difficult tomes with no notes or annotations. If at any point you forget what’s in the book, freak out. Freak the hell out that you’re declining, you’re stupid, then read it again while crying.
sometimes I worry that most of what I would call my “thinking” is just shallow daydreaming or free-association that feels like thinking but actually involves very little genuine thought or reasoning
Seems to be flying enormously under the radar that Trump has banned wind power in the United States. A full 10% of our electricity. Just imagine if another administration did this extrajudicially to any other industry.
I think you can understand Monogamous Love as a sustained mutual project of fantasy— of fantasizing and constant adjusting/ recalculating the shared fantasizing—without feeling like that undermines love’s “realness” or love’s moral goodness

@cynlioness imo the most essential thing about being a good man beyond being a good person in the abstract sense is navigating the reality that you will be perceived as a physical threat. women don’t typically think to address this much because it’s not typically an issue for them
the Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the US! its watershed spans NY, PA, WV, MD, DE, VA, and DC!!! this travesty leeched toxic chemicals into the food, water and land for millions of Americans and the US GOVT HID IT FROM US FOR MONTHS!!!!!!

My contribution to the solar/farm discourse is that solar panels capture about 100x as much usable energy from the sun as corn grown for ethanol, if you include the energy cost of growing corn.
Ethanol corn is 40% of all US corn and is literally just there to capture energy from the sun. We have a way of doing that much more efficiently now!
