Tim Cook stepping down to make way for the next generation of evil gay CEOs

big part of "being stuck" is resisting the fact that you *are* stuck internalizing the judgments of a simulated audience about the state you are in ("i should've known"/"shouldn't be here") and then attempting to defend your ego against those judgments is a great way to close yourself off to ways out & to entrench yourself further in that state

An interesting pipeline of young people coming to Nick Land, realizing they have to read Deleuze and Guattari to truly get it. They then try to read the text but they face the reality that it's very difficult. I've read it 3 times & twice in a group. I disagree with pretty much all of it but it is a text that has to be read in a group. You can't just say you disagree with it without wrestling with the book. Philosophy does not come easy I am sorry to say.

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.
