#Orb: Deus Ex Machina Hominum
“Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore, your sin remains.” – John 9:40-41
For the longest time I assumed they were saying "fight on!", a more idiomatic usage that made sense to me. I learned embarrassingly late in life that I was imagining the "on".
Ok I’m further into Citizen Kim. One under discussed aspect of the kardashians is how they live in a kind of feudal family estate arrangement in giant houses all within at most a 15 min drive of each other (many are walkable) so their kids can all be incredibly close. The men in their lives are barely important to the overall arrangement, they come, they go, they’re not part of the structure Kris Jenner has created. They seem kind of broadly hated by feminists but in a weird way they’ve created the ultimate feminist utopia, at least as it can exist under capitalism. They’re completely financially free from men, in fact any man that even wanders into the picture is often dependent on them, and their kids are raised in a kind of sisterly hive mom way. I think because they’re hot or at least dress to appeal to the male gaze this aspect of their whole thing is never discussed but it’s kinda radical. They’re essentially “post men.”
The breakneck race to destroy *any* connection to a shared or objective reality is one of the most repulsive things going on right now in tech
You WILL be alienated from every other human on earth. You WILL be embalmed in your own delusions, and you’ll pay us $20/month for it
this is power in the way a pouting toddler has power. both depend on authority figures (men, adults) to find them endearing and humor them by providing them access to certain resources. sadly, the authority figure can take this power away any time they decide
I'm ngl man. Nothing affirms my Indian upbringing as much as my subconscious attraction to the clean haircut-good mustache combo.
Crazy how aspirational media positioning from your childhood can dictate tastes. Omniman was by-design super attractive to me.
I wasn't just cops
