"I of course live in Los Angeles. I’ve got a nice place. Obviously.

My brother’s been staying with me, which has been awful.

My brother is crazy. Even my neighbors hate him.

The other day I opened the door, I caught him masturbating.

He looks me right in the eyes and goes,

“Shut the door.”

I said,

“Get inside."

Cersie Lanister lives in Westeros on Planetos but definitely has "Accountability Culture Proponent" vibes and would make a seamless transition into political leadership within the Liberal in Name Only, Western Maoist, Well-To-Do, Out of Touch, Sheltered, Privately Educated, Metropolitan, Privledged Victim Mileau.

Hell in this world, she would find an effective loophole in the modern era to defend her Incest by claiming that it's actually, "just a social construct" - and thus the shorthand implication thereby rendering something arbitrary and rudderless with unearned confidence. As if that actually meant something.

As if Social Constructivism was an the one and only immutable law (a concept itself rejects on principle by default) and not the bottom of the intellectual barrel of perspectives for information interpretation - or rather the the flagship school of thought for ideologues laundering nonsense into the academy by posing as faux intellectuals.

"Ideologies are collective forms of hubris that claims to know how the world works and what needs to be changed. In a sense they are like ontological packages that makes you intellectually lazy.

It’s not merely a reality tunnel, it’s a reality tunnel that knows it avoids certain issues. So you don’t hear of communists discussing the possible existence of God or capitalists who are critical towards growth.

The left will romanticize some sort of future where equality is abundant, but have no real good examples of how this is to be achieved. The right will romanticize the past saying that people were more decent back in the good old days.

Dig deep enough and the “conservatives” won’t agree on what they want to conserve, and the progressive won’t agree on what they want to change or to what extent. And when it comes to all this ethnic idenitity moaning, no one knows what a true scotsman is either. This “feeling” of being something is an aneristic illusion.

When it comes to social issues, more time is spent competing between the ideologies then actually analyzing the problems at hand. It’s sort of like religion blaming Satan/Scheitan, but in this case the devil is the political other’s ideology. Well, Monotheism didn’t save the world from evil since I got drunk with Devil yesterday, and the political fluff ain’t gonna solve it either. This is why academic discussion (esp economists vs sociologists) is so pathetically stagnant. The real thing that pushes reality forward is the chaotic clash that lurks between the bullshit of ideologies."

"What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you.

Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.”

- Carl Sagan, excerpt from the 11th epsidode of Cosmos ("The Persistence of Memory")

"The problem, Bernard, is that what you and I do is so complicated. We practice witchcraft. We speak the right words. Then we create life itself…out of chaos."

— Dr. Robert Ford, Westworld, Westworld Season 1: Chestnut

"The syntactical nature of reality, the real secret of magic, is that the world is made of words. And if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish.”

- Terence Mckenna

"If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!"

- Rudyard Kipling

Okay for you? Or Mars? What if Mars is definitely not okay with you touching it? Ever thought about that? Fuck na. You only think about yourself.

Whenever I see someone buying a lottery ticket there's a part of, the part of me, tiptoeing on the spectrum that I am barely able to contain if not for biting my tongue to stop myself from blurting out,

"Man, you ain't gonna fucking win."

Like bruh, there's a seemingly infinite number of ways you could throw your money away that don't involve holding up a mf line."

Xenu & Yakub | The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend

In the 2000's, Issac Hayes, Musician and the voice of Chef during the early era of South Park, approached Scientology leader David Miscavige as to why they weren't doing more to court black Americans which led to Miscavigout reaching out to the Nation of Islam. And as bat shit crazy as that sounds and is, it's also strangely appropriate. Birds of a feather, flock together. In 2010, the Nation of Islam began promoting the “benefits” of Dianetics, the core set of ideas preached by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

When I found out about the strange yet seamless alliance that exists between Scientology and The Nation of Islam, I had a creepy picture of Louis Farakan and David Miscavige shaking hands emerge.

And then I couldn't help but think that, "Well what choice do Xenu and Yakub have but join forces as well and battle them together?" And then I went to fiddle about Imagine AI until I was able to get it to shit me out an image of that picture in my head.

There aren't a lot of renderings of either out there, and this isn't an exact match with what exists but this variation in particular spoke to me and made me giggle - and hus I amused myself in the process of mining this image and sharing it with whomever may see it if nothing else.

I remember this fondly. In my experience, soft packs were exclusively purchased by blue collar men who placed them in their shirt pockets next to random screws and drill bits and teenage girls due to either having no pockets and/or hiding them from their parents/teachers in their bras.

"I've been crawling on my belly

Clearing out what could've been.

I've been wallowing in my own confused and insecure delusions

For a piece to cross me over

Or a word to guide me in.

I wanna feel the changes coming down.

I wanna know what I've been hiding in

My shadow...

...See my shadow changing,

Stretching up and over me.

Soften this old armor.

Hoping I can clear the way

By stepping through my shadow,

Coming out the other side.

Step into the shadow.

Forty-six & 2 are just ahead of me."

- MJK/Tool, "46 & 2"
