We’re all wrong because we think we’re right. Certainty is a trap. How many people are alive right now? There are as many or more ways of approaching life, and with each comes a set of values conducive to a normative code. I hesitate to say “moral code,” because that will carry unwanted preconceptual baggage into… More Why All of Us Are Wrong
The purpose of this post is to plainly oppose the stupidly-fucking-complex, soap-opera-like, horse-cock parade this election has spawned. Humans don’t need complex political systems. We all like to eat, drink, fuck, and feel like we’re better than other people. The only difference is how we slice the world – Who’s good? Who’s bad? Who can we… More Here’s Why I’m Not Voting Today, and My New Universal Ten Commandments
Unity is an interesting meme. It’s something we all claim to want. We all want our teams, companies, towns, cities, states – the entire world – to be in firm solidarity. This idea has been on my mind since… forever, basically. I touched on it here in terms of the American Dream and how it’s no… More Why Do We Sabotage Unity?
We’ll start with an assumption: Life is an escape room – one of those games where you’re trapped in a room, and have to find and synthesize strange clues to escape (you may know it best as one of the many online game variants). This is not a new assumption. Many religions conditionally promise some version of heavenly escape after death. If you do the right things… More Let’s Play a Game: Life as an Escape Room
A note from the editor: I’ve been trying to write this stupid fucking blog post for like a week now, and it’s just fucking shit. The point of it is I like philosophy and I want you to like it too. I want everyone to like it and do it because I think that would… More Do Philosophy, Don’t Study It
I’ve stayed away from this. I’ve avoided throwing my two cents onto the race/police brutality table. As I’ve stated before, and expanded on here, my general disposition toward society is something like detachment. It’s halfway between not caring at all and being bewilderingly astonished. Between this and not knowing if any words could have an impact, I’ve stayed… More The One Where I Talk About Race, Among Other Things
Life is pretty nuts. If you just consider what’s happening, what’s going on here… this shit is WILD. I think that’s what most excites and frustrates me about being alive – the possibilities are endless and yet we engage in systemized dogshit whirlpools of offensive stupidity. Like, it’s offensive how stupid we are. But we’re also awesome. Take… More A Blog About Why I Don’t “Get It.” Alternate Title: Wow. Tertiary Title: Brains of Steel
It’s funny. I wrote this whole thing about letting myself be authentic and how that enables me to be drawn to my purpose. If I’m real enough with myself, I don’t need to find my calling, it just happens. I do it. So I wrote that and then, for all of the two weeks since then, I’ve… More My Monthly Mid-life Crisis
Be yourself, right? That’s what people say. I like this one because it’s so damn cliche it’s hard to access on a personal level. When people say “Be yourself!” my reaction tends to be like, “Yea, thanks. Not possible to be anything else. Beat it, hippie.” But once you feel what it means to be… More Finding Authenticity: A Guide to Dopeness
AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Haha, so what’s the point? I mean, I really wonder a lot about that. Not like, “What’s the point of going on anymore?” I’m past that. It’s more like, “What’s the point of getting so worked up about stuff and things?” Caring is one thing. Being a freakazoid spaz-face is another. Facebook is fucking… More Blitzkrieg Blabber Post
