@ProfSteveFuller Would make a pretty good Halloween costume.

@nfergus @DalrympleWill William Dalrymple has recently shown himself to be a giant of moral integrity and intellectual courage—unlike the many weaker intellects who shill for a (dying) establishment.

@ProfSteveFuller A good book idea. A lot to unpack. Anything that challenges credentialism . Feyerabend may have a cameo appearance in the story.

@nntaleb Whatever trickle down theory existed. AI will vacuum up. Technofudalism or Technocommunism. With climate collapse underway, I doubt the feudal lords will suddenly come to terms with The Tyranny of Merit and choose universal basic income.

Define your taste using only two artists.

[Billosophy. @Willagoras]

@nntaleb Good to know. I thought it was just childish name calling when someone can't talk about a subject properly so they attack the messenger . Like Israel using antisemitism when critiqued.

Russia is simultaneously a podunk country, but they also rig our elections and control our government, and are going to annex all of Europe.

I don't really fit in with any group. Too woo-woo spiritual for the Marxists. Too angry for the Buddhists. Too political for the nondualists. Too much of a liberal-hating commie for the witches. Too radical for the socdems or demsocs. Too grown up for the anarchists.

If hippies were real I guess I'd be one of those. Like, if it had been more than psychedelic-fueled idealism that collapsed into vapid yuppiedom as soon as the drugs wore off. I'd be a hippie if there were something more substantial to it than navel-gazing escapism, because at least in theory they try to synthesize the political and the spiritual.

They did glimpse something real, the hippies. They did intuit a possible world that absolutely is waiting to be born. A mass awakening and transformation of human consciousness is entirely possible, and actually appears to be gestating deep beneath the chaos and confusion of this strange modern world. The LSD left their systems and they all became landlords, but that doesn't mean their visions and insights were showing them something false.

But these days I feel like I have more in common with a completely unspiritual Marxist or an entirely apolitical person who's had some transformative spiritual insights than I have with the typical hippie, because their politics and spirituality seldom seem to meet anywhere particularly authentic. Most of them are either vaguely progressive liberals or QAnon wingnuts who use spiritual concepts as emotional pacifiers to comfort them in their unhealed trauma.

I guess my lack of a clear group or political faction is just what happens when you're acutely aware that at this point in spacetime humans are too crazy and unreliable to form alliances with any particular contingent. I've found it best to just stick to my confidence in my own view and boost various causes and agendas on a case by case basis rather than clique up with any one political sect, because for the moment none of them are reliably lucid enough for me to trust them with my loyalty.

So I wander around without any clear, cohesive tribe. I share my messages and they resonate with an eclectic group of misfits from all across the globe, and we hold hands together as we spin off into an increasingly bizarre future on this beautiful blue planet of ours.

And today I'm really appreciating that. I love this weird little community I get to interact with on a daily basis, sharing ideas, art and poetry about news, politics and spirituality with whomever happens to feel inspired by them. I don't know what kind of future we're moving into — could be very, very bad, could be very, very good. But I'm glad we're moving into it together.

@climate_kev1 It's ok. Taylor Swift told us to "Shake it Off!"

[Billosophy. @Willagoras]

@climate_kev1 Bullshit jobs and college credentialed debt is more importent than water. Duh. How are women supposed to have babies and decadence if men stop running the rat race for them ? women love bullshit jobs, college credentials and material waste. It turns them on. It's "progress". ����

@Ella_5b8 Can you please pass that over here ?

@MaxBlumenthal Oh look. The snarky Russia-Gate propaganda dyke back at it again. No mention of cackling Kamala getting 5-10 million from Isreal out of her mouth.

[Billosophy. @Willagoras]

@ProfSteveFuller I was at a cafe reading Media and the power of knowledge. I asked this woman what she was reading. She said Theodor Adorno. Ended up being a pretty good conversation. Or maybe I came across too preachy. Caffeine can do that to me🤷🏻‍♂️.

@GothicXRose90 Sure,female Narcissism is more covert& excepted, less studied & less obvious, more normalized.

Can be Stuck in a childish developmental phase "trama", A Defense Mechanism ,a Culture That Rewards it.

At best :
"Meditation is a way to be narcissistic without hurting anyone”.

[Billosophy. @Willagoras]

@MikeHudema Hypergamy , careerism and natalism will disagree.

@RogerHallamCS21 To be human is to fuck on the environment. It's happened time and time again. Until we can no longer exist. We are an invasive species. With parasitic civilizations.
