It’s been a minute since I’ve written here and some interesting things have been developing, so worth an update as well as the chance to be visible for suggestions or corrections
Things have been going very well for me on multiple fronts, the lack of romance in my life has been causing me much less suffering than it once did, work has been getting easier seemingly by the week, and overall the knot that is ‘me’ has been gradually loosening.
One of the big themes for m…

Andrew stated that fucking children has been somewhat standard forever. That’s definitely true if we consider childhood marriages. That’s an ongoing phenomenon around the world. It was pretty accepted up to about 50 years ago too. Elvis met Priscilla when she was 12 or something and married her as soon as she turned 18. Jimmy Page had a 13 year old gf. Stephen Tyler bragged about havi…
Hi Jon! Long time! Well, a while anyway.
I have an opinion about what is happening in the American political/psychic reality. That being that there is a mass discovery going on right now about the delusional distance that the classical “psychopath “ glamourised in movies, and the real deal.
That and the depth of so called “personality disorders “.
I have this opinion because I am projecting my own experience on an entire nation! Haha.
It’s one thing to make movies, and have “conspiracy theo…
Hi Andrew,
I haven’t even been following Epstein. I consider it old news as in everything I needed to know, I already knew. To what extent the current and former power players fucked kids is most certainly newsworthy. But the fact that they knew what Epstein was up to and did nothing is all I really need to know as a voter. And I knew that since about 2018 or so.
As far as the rest of it goes, it’s also old hat. The guy tried every attempt in the book short of an organized insurrection to stay…
From where we stand, it’s most important to cultivate a sense of needing to do something to fix the situation. I said to accept what is unacceptable. But that’s not fully it. It’s to help fix the madness and the callousness. To fully adopt a program of self-immolation and/or virtual freedom and naiveté to help those close to us and even the whole world.
… (Andrew posted a video about empathy)
In the video, the findings via the measure of donations, was that a single starving child had a greater impact on the audience, than two starving children. As the number increased, and e.g. it was clear an entire generation was starving, the donations ”fell off a cliff”.
Human empathy has a standard deviation of around 0.2 in my rough estimation based on that video. It drops off hard and quick.

Hi Jon,
When you surmise what Richard said, it would be advisable and beneficial for your fellow readers to actually check “what did Richard say about” with what he actually said. Richard never said “something to the effect of accepting an unacceptable world as it is…”
Here is what Richard suggested to those interested in doing something about the human condition for themselv…
The actual quote given later in this exchange: Can I emotionally accept that which is intellectually unacceptable? This way intelligence need not be compromised … intelligence will no longer be crippled.
Hi Vineeto,
Was the above misstated? Are you asking 1) if it’d be sensible to determine what exactly the situation is or 2) From where the feeling of needing to fix the situation arises?
I did say hysteria is systematically manufactured. And gave two example in which the left did just that.
Sorry. When I said ‘fact’, I should have said reality. As in, bad shit done by bad people resulting in not so good things. In that particular sentence I wasn’t referring to any specific bad things or any specific person or people. To accept the unacceptable would have worked better.
Have I researched whether Trump or Clinton and others knew of the sex trafficking? I have not. I know th…
How is that not close to what I said? It is better though. It would be beneficial to go and search what he exactly said. thank you
Oh. Well that’s interesting, isn’t it. I can get that though. If it feels like something can be done then a will to do it emerges. As soon as it feels like nothing can be done then people stop caring. Which seems pretty efficient to me. Why care about something you can’t change! But as far as you and I go, I think we can change it. We can definitely change ourselves and if we’re not willing to do that then lets stop pretending we care about anything.

Hi Jon,
I don’t know if you mis-stated but it isn’t clear to me when you said –

I was talking about me and Andrew.
I think it comes from wanting to feel good and be happy and harmless. I think giving myself a life’s purpose and happy and harmlessness being that purpose would be great for me.
Other people’s. But my madness and callousness, I think, is not being focused on being happy and harmless. Like that’s both crazy and callous. And the madness of the world and it’s callousness stems from other people prioritizing things other than happiness and harmlessness. So if …
Vineeto: I snipped the bulk of your post, being a conglomerate of hearsay, rumours, guesses and political opinions from the popular press, which you conclude with –
Jon: I did say hysteria is systematically manufactured. And gave two example in which the left did just that.
Hi Jon,
You said this about hysteria, amongst many other things, in the post #1076 , which was not the one I categorized as being “a conglomerate of hearsay, rumours, guesses and political opinions” (#1074 ).
