Yeah, that's how it's "sold" - "You can now sound eloquent and wise and insightful without putting in any work!"

There might be a good message in there but it's been cheapened. I would rather have an imperfect homemade gift than a factory-produced one.

I think this is a good point and I also want to add that going through the struggle of expressing ourselves sloppily IS how we get better at it. But maybe perfectionism is getting in the way of that practice.

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

your life is not an optimization problem - as in you'll never achieve the perfect daily routine, sleep schedule, coping mechanisms, mannerisms, fashion sense etc. even after years and years of healing and improvement and self-discovery. you will never be so good at life that you manage to utilize every waking moment. its great to be productive and all but sometimes you'll suck ass. sometimes you'll take eight hours to be done with a twenty minute job. you'll prioritize the wrong thing. you'll sleep for 12 hrs just to avoid being awake. you'll relapse. and you'll relapse again. you'll forget to turn in the assignment. you'll order too little food. life is far too large and complex for you to even experience it completely, much less try to make sense of and control it. you can't. please give up on that and be at peace with the hours you lose. they are not separate from your life.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

i’m grateful that they do these focus groups because i think it’s useful to understand how much of politics is just people making up a story they tell themselves based on absolutely random details they synthesize into something, and then make meaning out of that

Oh so sleepy

you know how you solve the problem of trans and autistic children? you love them, and you listen to them, you raise them with the support of a community that supports about their well-being. you work to build a world that accomodates their needs. you give a shit.

I read it as "willing to use religion as a cudgel but not willing to do any sort of inner self-reflection"

An overwhelmingly common reason people give for enjoying this type of work IS ITS SEPARATION FROM REALITY. People are ENJOYING A FANTASY, not planning their weekend. This deserves protection.

Authoritarianism is scary and dangerous but so very far from invincible. And if you let yourself be convinced too much of their power, then they've won. Authoritarianism is built on fragile illusions of control and competence. It's hard but brittle and shatters readily under even a little pushback.

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

the capacity for state violence is vast but that does not mean it is infinite
