@Ikshulaa isn’t it funny how it really felt like I was the one who was being? Identification wants so bad to feel like it’s something separate, doing the thing. Eventually there’s just nothing to say about what is because there isn’t somebody separate relating to it

By the way, there *is* a 10x meditation-based productivity hack, but practicing it inalterably changes your psyche so that duty, family and treating other people well become your most important values. So don't fuck with karma yoga if you're just trying to hit your KPIs

@itinerantfog Yeah, the effect on your state when smoking continuously vs being sober. Even any different inclinations of behavior, habits, etc

smoked weed for so long I lost the ability to even conceive of what it would be like to live a day without doing it. three days into quitting and it’s already hard to remember what that was like, and conceiving of smoking every day is comparably hard to imagine. so it goes

@realitymap You see this path specific to Buddhism? What he laid out seems like a solid route, but this is ultimately about the Human Condition. Hard to believe something so fundamental is constrained to a specific path

@KennethFolk The crux here is probably the fact that people don't really care about literacy in that way. I know I don't, though I enjoy it when the time's right. I must say I appreciate your view on the topic, it makes me engage my brain in a way that was largely left in the past.

Why should we assume otherwise? As I've pointed out, it's the simplest explanation. If literate people care about literacy and the education and betterment of those who come after, there's nothing to prevent them from demonstrating literacy. If they don't, they probably can't.
jake@flooreditboy

@KennethFolk Would you reckon most of those full time pidgin users actually don't have the capacity for literacy? That's where I'd challenge you.

Agreed. This brings us back to my thesis: If it's a choice, pidgin English is used occasionally for effect. If used all the time, one can only assume "that's all you got." I'm calling out sloppiness AND illiteracy disguised as fashion.
jake@flooreditboy

@KennethFolk Though, in the right contexts,being proper is definitely the right choice, and in others, it isn’t.

@KennethFolk There’s something about that choice which expresses a tone, or a “vibe” of some sort. It could be signaling a playfulness, or a certain kind of humor. There’s something specific being communicated when text-language is entirely “proper”, and it feels like it limits my expression

I may have fallen prey to one of those Dunning-Kruger issues. I've asked people singly and collectively why they post in pidgin rather than Standard English, assuming they're doing it on purpose. A more elegant explanation is that they are expressing the limits of their literacy.

@tasshinfogleman I’ve had moments where I’ve connected with the bodhisttava vow and just cried. It’s so beautiful when it penetrates.
