Sometimes I drive to a second McDonald’s late at night because I don’t want to experience the shame of going through the same drive-thru twice.

Sir, I can assure you my oats are secure.

According to the Lotus Sutra the Earth is also a sentient being.

The Chan School of Buddhism says that all phenomena are mind. There is nothing that is not mind. We, as humans, are a mind in a mind.

Blame the algorithms, but yes otherwise you are correct. Being an intransigent shithead is a pathway to success in this world. The bully is rewarded endlessly while the victim is stigmatized.

All of history’s greatest figures in our mind are people with the biggest body counts. Napoleon killed a whole generation of young men in Europe and was basically his era’s Hitler. Today he has Fanboys who rush to defend him online.

That’s why Putin invades Ukraine and dgaf about bodies because he’s playing to an audience 300 years in the future who also dgaf about the victims anymore than we care about Napoleonic war casualties.

We are a species of savage assholes and we survive today as the beneficiary’s of that legacy.

It feels so liberating to hear it just said out loud
