Your tangents make total sense in unveiling the myth of the lone wolf, or lone wolves. Ok, packs of interconnected lone wolves acting alone, closely together in packs.

The problem with listening to music on an iPhone is that it doesn’t have the analog warmth of the original iPod

it's pretty funny that the end result of longtermism is the wholesale destruction of scientific progress

Remember when Elon promised that he would pay for the lawsuits on behalf of anyone who got fired for social media posts?

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.
