No one asked to be born, and short of someone correcting me I think almost all the major belief systems belief in doing good for others. What better good is there than to be a reason the hell I survived slows or stops with me?

Your job was to pass more on for the next to work with. That goes for us in my group too; we were given the short end of the stick in a unique way, but we still have an obligation to heal our traumas and seek to create a better tomorrow for those after us.

Every time I hear parents, teachers, so-called political leaders, religious figures, or anyone in the oldest generations deriding their youngers for not having survived as much as they as if it is a badge of honor I seriously question any or all the beliefs they say they hold.

If you require children and the next generations to suffer what you did, it implicitly means you don't want to, or don't think you can, make anything better for them to be able to make things better for the next after them.

The point is to have a better world, which means fewer hells for fewer people. THAT should be our work. Yes, nothing is perfect, but we are not unable beings and this world is not fixed; we affect it.

Those who make it through deserve support and comfort, and deserve to live life as close to their ideal as possible, but the same hell should not be the standard experience we seek our next leaders and descendants survive to earn the ability to guide our futures.

This might be a hot take, but so be it.

Surviving hell isn't worthy of a trophy. It's a trauma.

I abhor Twitter but how Bsky fills the void, I think, scratches a similar itch

I am about mastery, but as time goes on I see a very specific through line in my thinking that informs a lot: I believe locality is the single most important factor left ignored as we try to build a better tomorrow. Locality. Who and what is near you affects you most. Needs more consideration.

Yes he won. The same way the clown in the dunk tank actually wins, people pay to see him lose, but he wins anyway.

It do be like that

People are weird in that volume. I hate the practice but I know if I promote that way about 20 percent will accept the opportunity to be sold and about a third of them will buy. It's wild.

A green Great Dragon exists, but so too does a great green Great Dragon. How this makes sense is completely ridiculous.
