Doesn’t in-depth analysis of your ideological opponents start getting kinda old after a few years?
Everyone always talks about “Aion”, but “Civilizations in Transition” is Jung for the thinking man.
“When the student is ready the teacher will appear.” I believe that the inverse is also true. When you’ve truly reached a level of maturity, insight and skill, those that have something to learn from you will find you. If it hasn’t happened yet, it’s not yet time.
I’ll often hear friends/family repeat a platitude and think to myself “that’s so intellectually lazy” But then I remind myself that they don’t spend half their waking hours reading essays, philosophy, studying intellectuals or listening to debates. They’re not nerds. It’s okay.
It becomes patently obvious when a behavioral pattern is destroying you. Once you see it for what it is, you can never again mistake it for what it’s not. You may fear giving it up, as if it’s a part of you. But to surrender it is the only way to be who you really are.
What is your original mind? Before you fried it on YouTube videos and podcasts.
Whenever I’m grocery shopping and the cashier asks me “Do you have anything planned for tonight?” or “How’s your day going?” I always tell them, and enjoy the awkward lack of follow up, as they most certainly do not care about either of these things.
Just started throwing together some writings. Covers my journey through addiction, recovery, meditation, and any insights I’ve picked up along the way. substack.com/@exdrunk?r=8c5…
It’s very easy to take the “gnostic” (early Christian) teachings and turn them into yet another form of projection.
JBP reminding me of Willem Dafoe in “The Lighthouse” a little more every day.
12 years sober as of yesterday. Turned an entirely meaningless life of chasing my own tail into an entirely meaningful adventure. 10/10. Would recommend.
If you don’t learn from it now you’re just gonna have to learn from it again later.
Just like pathological ideas are contagious, it would reason that the inverse is also true. Heal your own mind and the world may follow.

@hopefulcynic206 Clearly with inflation that would be 50k in 2024
@hopefulcynic206 Yeah haven’t experienced dark night personally but in general deep meditation does seem too potentially destabilizing to be worth teaching a kid. I mean you wouldn’t give a kid psychedelics either
@scrmshw remind myself that i’m already floating in the stream that is headed there
@hopefulcynic206 @fridt_meeta @tracewoodgrains But limiting reproduction rights and spreading red pill propaganda can seriously cause trouble to people I know. At least this is what I think but also the average Romanian is RW by American standards, the actual American LW ideology is almost unfathomable here
@hopefulcynic206 @fridt_meeta @tracewoodgrains Yeah, currently I’m more Left leaning cause RW ideology is insane too and the type of LW insanity doesn’t affect me or my friends but the RW one does. People with even average IQ will not run around saying I m a cat and you must call me Mr Whiskers or I m gonna have a tantrum.
@hopefulcynic206 @fridt_meeta @tracewoodgrains Oh for sure, especially on social media i get equally annoyed by MAGA and virtue signaling lefties but in the real world, I still think we are far away from having democrats and republicans build a centrist coalition.
@hopefulcynic206 @fridt_meeta @tracewoodgrains “I would really like to see centrists”. Yeah, everyone is saying this but I’ve simultaneously found that none of us agree on shit.
one of the curious effects of the grand cultural inversion we live in is the way the right is increasingly trying to play the role traditionally filled by the left: critiquing our institutions and aiming to tear down what it perceives as a toxic and unjust order
@hopefulcynic206 Sounds good. I feel like I don't even have the patience to use social media on the phone much, thankfully! I do stay at the desktop computer a lot though, haha.
new post up on my s ub st @ ck i can't believe i have to adopt bot tactics for that
Well, guess I'm not moving the gazebo curtains for a while...
Am I one of the last people on Earth to be old-fashionedly using a desktop computer to access the internet (at least primarily) instead of a phone?
Doing everything on a phone is so much worse, I don't know how everyone can bear it. Browsing, typing. Except doomscrolling I guess, so you see the problem

@LouisVArge I didn’t have anxiety at a job interview (insane I’m telling you); yesterday I watched a movie in which there were tarantulas and I didn’t feel aversion for them 👀I saw a huge shrimp later and it was closer up and I did get the ick though. 😂I went on a date and felt nothing 👀
@LouisVArge I still appear as lively and extroverted as before and I don’t think people notice any change but to me the changes are insane. I was constantly in hungry ghost realm for most of my life; not being constantly obsessed with a guy and suffering cause he doesn’t love me is odd 😂
I'm starting to see ways in which this account, Vivid Void, might be interfering with my practice, and maybe even my well-being. There is the obvious, of course: Twitter is mercurial, hyperreal and bombastic, and just using it quickly becomes a powerful compulsion. But poasting…
