It is probably the oldest populist economic taboo. It’s deep-seated in the human spirit to find interest distasteful.

Looksmaxxing going mainstream without its blackpill roots will result in normies becoming more cruel to the genetically unfortunate. Their pity will be replaced by active contempt that one’s ugliness is voluntary due to them ‘not trying hard enough’. All scorn is then justified.

> "Hector was the hero!" > "No, Achilles was the hero!" > "No! There were no heroes and villains!" Me thinking that Homer was never meant to be read by barbarians because it is an educational tool that they can't understand.

it's bizarre how people describe romantic entanglements as if they are a default state. I wont talk about myself here (I could be insane), but the majority of my close mid-20s male friends have never experienced a whiff of romance, and they are all handsome & thoughtful people

I have pondered on Jesus Christ for the last 6 months because it seemed many of the most intelligent people I admired were believers. The biggest growth hack I've ever utilized when trying to learn things is, "Just because you don't immediately understand something, doesn't mean you should dismiss it. Try to figure out what you're not seeing." So I did. I kept trying. Anyway, it hit me a while back while I was sitting in traffic, after months of trying to tease out the question of Jesus. It was a huge, gnostic flood of epiphanies that immediately made me start weeping. It hit me so suddenly that I'm still trying to parse it into words without sounding like a schizo. But it's something like: On every level of reality, from the personal to the global, we need to be able to move on from our mistakes. It is integral to our survival. Yet justice must also be served. We know on an instinctual level that blood is the cost of an error. And that price was paid, forever and ever, on a cross that extended in all four directions, past and future, fact and fiction, regenerating eternally, healing all wounds. We've all seen what happens when people believe in justice, but not forgiveness. And we've all seen what happens to those who believe in forgiveness, but not justice. I don't think it is*believing* in Jesus that is the most important thing. It is accepting and holding these two ideas in tandem and adapting it as a way of being.
