@rand_longevity I'm partial to pull ups and kettlebell presses. Walking is good too.

99% of mental health issues are self-caused through lack of living a normal healthy lifestyle for a human being people sit in blue light offices with fake people eating fake food all day and wonder why they are never happy and feel dead inside

@Nithya_Shrii Robots will replace all of these. In fact, within 3-5 years, your personal robot will be able to clean your teeth, rewire your front room, unclog your toilet, plant the gardenias, and construct the mantel around the fireplace all before preparing your evening meal.

When you need Japan's help probably not the greatest time to be making Pearl Harbor jokes

@jarvis_best Stella Maris is about as painful and affecting as anything I've ever read. Beautiful book.

The average person is more likely to be struck by lightning than they are to commit voter fraud.
Seriously. That's a real stat.
I'm voting NO on the SAVE America Act.

I cannot believe my life lasted long enough for computers to stop being fun.

This seems totally wrong. Look at the conclusion of The Road. The father and the son are “carrying the fire,” maintaining the human spirit in a world that’s completely crumbled. And, in the end, the spirit does endure - the boy winds up with a good family.

@christopherrufo I believe McCarthy was largely a misanthrope and an extreme materialist. He was a first-rate writer in terms of command of the language. But he did not believe it was worth noting the inner lives of his characters. He was Gnostic but without the desire for transcendence.

@unclearirony @plzcallmechrist @christopherrufo I've read Infinite Jest, but pretend not to have. The conversations that follow admitting reading that are torture. Please keep this between us.

@plzcallmechrist @christopherrufo We pretend to have read infinite jest too

The only books that anyone on X has read is Blood Meridian, Starship Troopers, Dune and Lord of the Rings. And the latter three, people just watched the movies.

@jonstewart He is a businessman, and an extremely good one whose businesses are poised to help us all, but he's exaggerating a bit to call you a comedian. You've not been a comedian since Bush left office.

@adrianisxx @JoshPhillipsPhD I read just this morning that city officials are 'decolonizing' Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon since his brilliance might encourage white supremacy. Such strange times.

@JoshPhillipsPhD Even people from Shakespeare's country don't live like this 😭

I want to live in a world where people read and study Shakespeare.

@jonstewart Jon Stewart, you are a gaping asshole. You’re a shell of your former piece of shit self. You desiccated bag of dog shit.

@SitLibertas @christopherrufo I don't think he was misanthropic or materialist. He seemed to long for transcendence, but could only find it in work people produced, like the violin in Stella Maris or the stone trough that Sheriff Bell mentions in No Country or the compass the father finds in The Road.

I read the first hundred pages of The Road last year, and read the first hundred pages of Blood Meridian this year, and in both instances, gave up, because the books never clicked. Lyrical writing, but the characters are reduced to way down Maslow's hierarchy, and the tone is so relentlessly bleak, with almost no humanity breaking through, it was difficult to feel anything besides the flint clicking against the cold steel in the overwhelming darkness. I know many of you love it, but to me, it's overwrought, overstylized, and overhyped.

About to start Blood Meridian for the first time. Give me all your best advice.

@jerseyh0mo Not only is that factually incorrect, but that second sentence is among the most tortured analogies I've seen on this site.

There are more low IQ men than there are low IQ women.

There are more average IQ women than average IQ men, even though the male, female average IQ is the same. It’s science.
