Lawful Chaotic.
Drawn to the absurd.
Pulls at the loose strings of reality every once in a while.

We have to imagine a world so AWESOME, so JOYFUL, so KIND, so UNOPPRESSED, so UNREPRESSED, & so TRANSFORMATIVE that it will inspire people to openly rise up and fight for it.
There are no heroes like in the great stories coming to save us.
No chosen ones, no prophecies, no vigilantes, no gods, no capes.
In our world, a hero is simply a person who cares so much about people in need, they do something about it.
There's just us, so we have to be heroes to survive this.

Still can't get over the fact that society decided that the paper straw was a better way to address ocean pollution than to stop throwing trash into the oceans altogether.

My socio-economic theory:
If you give $ to the needy, they will spend it, improving the economy & society.
If you give $ to the wealthy, they will hoard it, degrading the economy & society.
Therefore, always take $ from the wealthy & give it to the needy, then the economy & society will flourish.

I wonder if the afterlife is a reverse-mirror of our existence in that they have no way of knowing what life was like?
We ponder what happens after death, they ponder what happened before death.
Both ever seeking and never knowing if we exist/existed on the otherside of an opaque barrier of death.

Here are some things that can change throughout life, sometimes by choice, sometimes out of control:
body, health, sexuality, gender, habitation, wealth.
YOU need to find a way to peacefully live with this fact, no matter how much change & divergence offends you.
If you can't, YOU are the problem.

As a kid in the 80's watching GI Joe cartoons, I always wondered:
- How did Cobra get their funding?
- Why did people willingly join an obviously evil private army?
- Why did they stay loyal to an obviously mentally unstable leader, failure after failure?
I don't wonder about these anymore.

I don't think that most politicians are worth the money spent on them.
They are shoddily crafted, freeze up under pressure, & constantly need to be replaced.
Politicians are planned obsolescence-tier humans.

This war on gender oddly reminds me of industrial farming.
Capitalism winnows nature down to the most profitable monocultures.
In a way, people are also a crop - harvested for subscriptions, rent, purchases, etc.
By limiting gender to a binary, they get a dependable monoculture to reap from.

Social Media & AI are faint echoes of human interaction & companionship.
If you struggle with socializing, a faint echo can feel like a booming reverberation.
Companies know this & make billions off of our burning desire to connect.
It's not a loneliness epidemic, it's a loneliness harvest.

I think there's a misconception about living life as Jesus did.
Being kind & compassionate is great, but it doesn't reflect his life's work.
To truly live like Jesus, publicly call out the hypocrisy & injustice done against the poor & oppressed so loudly that the ruling class wants to kill you.

I think true crime shows are popular with women because the stories are set in an aspirational world where it is possible for men to get caught and consistently face real consequences for their crimes.
