Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

But as I travel’d hither through the land,
I find the people strangely fantasied,
Possess’d with rumors, full of idle dreams,
Not knowing what they fear, but full of fear.

"All interesting issues in natural history are questions of relative frequency, not single examples. Everything happens once amidst the richness of nature. But when an unanticipated phenomenon occurs again & again–finally turning into an expectation–then theories are overturned." - Stephen Jay Gould

I don't know about moving to another planet, but I suggest anyone with access to wildlife collect as many seeds and bulbs and cuttings as may be needed to propagate them should you move to another location . Also, just grow more stuff in your own backyard.

I have a theory that the state of the world might be understood as the plot of Murder on the Orient Express. I won't spoil it if you haven't read the book or seen the film adaptations. Another theory: it could be The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.

It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts

I 100% would have used ChatGPT for homework when I was in school, because homework sucked ass. However, if I hadn't been forced to bullshit a lot of essays 15 minutes before class I wouldn't have learned that I enjoy writing. The moral is to destroy both ChatGPT and homework.
