Fair, but I’ll take Jung and Campbell over JP anyday. At least they seemed to be seeking wisdom, whereas JP always just seems to be manically trying to sound like the smartest guy in the room through pathological obsfuscation and avoidance.

The problem with Rogan is he presents a lot of nonsense himself, accepts a lot of nonsense from his guests uncritically, and whether through laziness or design spreads a lot of disinformation.

We’re always living in “interesting” times, we just never know if it’s the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning. But the work remains the same.

Hey folks, we need some more cars over in the Costco gas line. I was still able to get to the other stores after taking a long circuitous route that felt like a circumpolar expedition to navigate around it. They haven’t quite caused absolute gridlock yet. A couple more cars should do the trick.

Readsa's review of The Hundred Remedies of the Tao 5/5: I really liked this book, I have been searching for sensible ethics with spiritual reverence towards nature and Taoism seems to be the best. This is very readable and thought provoking.

As it doesn’t look like the times are going to get any less “interesting” any time soon, I hope this book can be of use to you in the coming days.

Hi folks,
I migrated to Threads because it was easy and seamless. Now I’m checking out Bluesky for its lack of oligarch ownership. I imagine I’ll post about nature, Daoism, and democracy as I do on Threads.
