1️⃣ “Things could be so much better” 2⃣ “Things could be so much worse” These are both true statements, but there's an asymmetry between them. Improvement is a tightrope; ruin is the whole canyon. At any given moment there are only a handful of ways to make life better, but an infinite number of ways to shatter it... yet we sit and mope about the fraying thread of the tightrope instead of thanking gravity, and God, we’re not in free-fall.

@Rom_Toss @BuckSexton lol "intellect" "gov't sanctioned executions"

The left has empathy. They are saddened by this. They also have intellect. And understand there’s a difference between this & gov’t sanctioned executions by agents with “absolute immunity” You bootlickers have neither empathy nor intellect, and will spend your lives ostracized as pariahs from civil society.

Jimmy Kimmel won't cry about this. Neither will Natalie Portman. Or Elizabeth Warren. They won't even mention it. In fact they don't care about this killing at all. We all know why.

It’s not that hard to change bro, you just need to figure out your fear of success which means you’re unconsciously terrified of surpassing your parents and becoming unrecognizable to your family system so you stay small to maintain belonging, and your fear of failure which means public judgment would confirm what you secretly believe about yourself, and your fear of exposure because if people saw the real you they’d discover you’ve been faking competence this whole time, and the secondary gain you’re getting from suffering because pain gives you an identity and an excuse structure and honestly gets you more attention than health would, and your unconscious loyalty to your family system because nobody in your lineage ever made it so who are you to break the pattern, and your repetition compulsion where you keep recreating the exact same painful dynamic because your nervous system literally doesn’t know how to process anything else, and your unresolved grief that’s sitting in your chest like a stone because you never actually let yourself feel it so it just runs in the background corrupting everything, and your shame which isn’t something you feel but something you ARE at the core identity level, and your learned helplessness from that time you tried and it didn’t work so now your brain has generalized that trying equals futility, and your toxic guilt about wanting more because somewhere you learned that ambition is selfish and wanting things takes them from others, and your unmetabolized trauma that’s literally stored in your tissues and shows up as a freeze response every time you approach the thing, and your attachment wounds from childhood which means you either cling until you suffocate people or disappear before they can leave you first, and your internal parts conflict because your protector parts are trying to keep your exiled parts safe while your firefighter parts burn everything down the moment you get close to success, and your shadow material aka all the parts of yourself you’ve disowned that are now running your life from backstage, and your ego protection because growth requires the death of who you currently are and your ego is correctly identifying that as a threat, and your internalized critical parent who’s still running commentary on everything you do decades later, and your narcissistic injury avoidance because testing your potential against reality might reveal you’re not as special as the fantasy requires, and your perfectionism which isn’t high standards but a control mechanism that lets you say “I never really tried” forever, and your analysis paralysis which is just intellectualization dressed up as rigor, and your counterdependency where you refuse help because you’ve confused isolation with strength, and your passive aggression turned inward which is just unexpressed anger eating you from the inside, and your psychic foreclosure where you locked into an identity too early and now you can’t explore, and your existential guilt because you feel bad for individuating AND feel bad for not individuating so you’re stuck.

@rasmr_eth ⛽️? if it's the new goat we're still early, chuck some medium size in and let's roll

It's always the coins I'm watching, but fade, that moon hardest as I'm sidelined. Lesson there.

STOP HOLDING BACK YOUR GIFT ✨

@ScottAdamsSays You did good.

A Final Message From Scott Adams

@noah0x0 @jmrphy So no answer…

@QuiteBrazen @jmrphy If you were a father, you’d get it—if you ARE a father, and still don’t get it, then I have bad news for you…

Am I just a monster? It's been 4 years since I became a father and I'm beginning to fear for my soul. The truth is I just don't like being around kids for very long. Historically, this is not uncommon among fathers, but today it feels almost illegal. It's causing me a lot of confusion and anguish. The ideal amount of time I would like to spend playing with my kids is probably about 70-140 minutes a week—roughly ten minutes each day, maybe 2x/day, taking breaks from work. My feelings of love toward them are perfectly strong, but if I have to watch them or entertain them for more than about 10 minutes my blood starts to boil. I just want to be working, or accomplishing something. I try to be grateful, but it doesn't work. It's 9 AM this morning, Saturday, January 3. It's a sunny, warm day here in Austin, and my four-year-old son is begging me to play catch in the street. I was drinking coffee, still waking up, so I didn’t really feel like it, but at this age his desire to play is insatiable. He begged and begged, so I conceded, and with a smile. I have no problem being a kind and loving father, the problem is only that I do not enjoy it. It's not that I'm trying to maximize my personal pleasure; it just seems wrong that I experience so little delight when my dad friends all claim to experience so much. It was beautiful. We live on a picturesque, tree-lined block. I am even relatively relaxed from the holiday rest. Playing catch with your son is supposed to be an iconic, peak experience. Yet for every single minute, on the inside, I just don't want to be there. I want to be drinking my coffee in peace. Then I feel guilty and absurdly ungrateful, and ashamed, when we're done. I know that when he is a teenager, I'll long to have these days back. I have all of this perspective rationally, and I've been very patient and steadfast trying to digest it, but nothing fixes me emotionally. Am I a terrible person? Or is my feeling within a certain range of historically normal and it's modern parenting norms that are off? Whether it's my fault or not, I don't even care, I just want to figure this out. Something is wrong and I no longer have the excuse of being new to this.

Genuine question: why would you say this? What is your goal or point? To judge and condemn him, without any hope for redemption, to make yourself feel better? To punish him for sharing his darkness and shadow with the world? Also, would "a pathetic monster" be this honest with himself or the world?

@jmrphy You are—and I really mean this so so deeply—a pathetic monster ❤️

Something to try on this last day of 2025 (w/ paper and pen): 1. A quick audit of the past year. What worked/didn't, what felt good/bad, how you changed/stayed the same, etc. 2. Then, a (much slower) audit of the year to come. An imagining of the ways it went well, how you grew and did all the things you always wanted to do, fixed the relationships you cared about, took care of your body, became more of the person you've always wanted to be, etc. Give yourself a picture to walk into and then go walk into it.

It's fucking epic that at any moment you can choose to remember Oh, I'm the one holding the controller to this video game called MY LIFE and then just steer your character toward thoughts and actions that undoubtedly make your ideal life more, rather than less, likely.

@NarcNormand @JackStr67850681 @mtaibbi Government pressuring private companies to censor Americans for constitutionally protected speech is bad, actually.

@JackStr67850681 @mtaibbi Because there was nothing of substance that came out

My subscriptions went down for the first time in January and February of 2023, at the peak of the Twitter Files, for the perfectly sensible reason that all my content was coming out for free on Twitter. You are wrong and Higgins is wrong. You can’t just invent things

@bariweiss @benshapiro @TPUSA @TheFP are you an assad toadie

Only Cowards Tolerate Conspiracy Theorists. @benshapiro delivered a barnburner tonight @TPUSA. Read the whole thing in @TheFP: thefp.com/p/ben-shapiro-…

@mandylu Those are solid chips for (what looks like) a home game! Do you play a lot of NL cash games?

i dare you to share the first green photo in your camera roll

@JennaFights4You It's not complicated at all... it's just very wrong and very stupid.

Many comments are saying, "No one is denying you humanity." When you say that trans women are not women and that you're just "stating biology," that is denying us our humanity. This isn't complicated to understand.

@donmcgowan Can't tell if you're serious or not. If parody, well played.

Why the far-right always use per capita data, and why it's almost always the wrong answer. Scary charts and numbers achieved by misusing statistics. Free to read on my Substack: open.substack.com/pub/donmcgowan…

There are, right now, actions you can take that will make your ideal life more, or less, likely. This is always the case, in every single moment. It should be our highest priority to remember this fact as often as possible.

@BowTiedFox @Cotton_Maverick interested

@Cotton_Maverick I'm trying to figure out a way to sell the sauce without giving away my competitive advantage and saturating it maybe I'll price it super high and just do 1-1 private calls where I show people how to do it manually working on some software tools to make it easier. so much to do

this is what's possible with AI advertising I'm going all-in on this.

@darkwingfella @ChrisMartzWX You think it should be illegal to hate someone? Are you serious?

@ChrisMartzWX Simple. Hate speech is not free speech. The distinction is simple. You cannot abuse your constitutional rights to abuse other people’s constitutional rights. Even in the US this is the case at times. ( but severely limited, which causes many problems ).

Riddle me this. Both EU nations and the UK have laws penalizing citizens for posting “offensive” remarks on social media, and also for spreading alleged “mis-” and “disinformation.” The U.S. does not [in most cases] go to such lengths because our First Amendment is very clear. If you are a free speech maximalist, then the freedom of speech includes the right to say offensive things (bigoted, whatever) and/or the right to be a buIIshit artist. And, by its strict legal definition, true freedom of speech would mean that the government cannot infringe on your right to do so. So, I would love for someone to explain to me exactly how—by the conventional legal framework, not some arbitrary line drawn in the sand—European countries have more freedom of speech than the United States does. I am open to being proven wrong here, so take it to the comments and discuss this among yourselves.

@DecentAmerican1 @IntegralAnswers They don't

@IntegralAnswers I honestly want to know: if the mother is negative for Hep B, why does her baby need the vaccine?

1/ The Hepatitis B vaccine is one of the most studied vaccines ever introduced. After 30+ years of data, the evidence is clear: it prevents deadly liver disease and has one of the lowest serious-adverse-event rates in medicine.

Imagine being gifted a vessel like the human body and mind through which you get to experience the world and parking it on the couch and filling it with trash food and “content” day after day after day… It makes sense so many disbelieve in God for how could you believe while so blatantly spitting in his face each morning and night?
