The ridiculousness of the movie, observed by the detachment of the unknowable, one ineffable experiencing

@spangoolz @FengShuiFlowZ Thank you!

@FengShuiFlowZ @dharmapoppins Have a feelin this account will be of interest to you.

Daoism saw through this absurdity in human interactions long ago. Laozi said: 'The name that can be named is not the eternal name.' The 'you' in their heads is merely a 'name' (label/persona) defined by their subjectivity, not your 'reality' (true essence). The '99% projection' mentioned in the post is what Zhuangzi calls the 'Cheng Xin' (prejudice and fixed cognitive frameworks) of worldly people. Using their narrow bias to tailor you, they naturally only see what they want to see. If you get angry at their misunderstanding, you fall into the low-dimensional trap of 'debating names vs. reality,' letting their 'delusions' lead you by the nose. A Daoist master is 'formless like the great image.' They do not cling to any fixed persona, nor do they care about external praise or blame. 'If the whole world praises them, they are not encouraged; if the whole world condemns them, they are not discouraged.' When you transcend the 'names' others label you with and rest in your 'reality,' the noise of the world is just autumn wind passing the ear.

@LascauxIan Agreed - there’s nothing objective to measure it against!

@dharmapoppins Banal and mysterious—that's a good description. And undefined. We don't really know what it means to exist.

Existence is unique in that it’s totally banal and utterly mysterious at the same time. Where you are at in any given moment psychologically determines which side you see and to what end no one knows.

a wise person once said “being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them” and I’ve been thinking about it ever since.

'If that’s true, and there’s been contact, and we have bodies, show me the fucking autopsies.' My weird weekend with @JeremyCorbell at @CITDConference for @Playboy playboy.com/read/politics/…

@idigapony Interesting. My instinct had initially been to mention the physical aspect in my tweet but I didn’t in the interest of brevity. True that!

@dharmapoppins Psychologically but also physically... I've had a back injury before that really shaped my perception for a bit

Many of the answers I’ve sought became what things aren’t as opposed to what they are

@AFadedRomantic I wanted you until wanting became wisdom

@ArtisanLard I was thinking that - am researching typical ball lightening sizes now!

@dharmapoppins ball lightning?

Muggy heat wave last night brought out a strange electrical phenomenon. At 2am my wife and I watched as pulsating lights danced around the yard and through the forest. Two intensely bright and big for fireflies. I’m suggesting it’s electrical in nature as in the distance there was sheet lightning.

@LascauxIan Thank you for articulating so many things so well. Love your account.

@dharmapoppins Oh yes — silence, early sunlight, and anticipation...

Today’s oil portrait ‘Angie: aka 58 & loving it’

EXCLU - U.S. military blew up Boy Scouts balloon and Happy Birthday balloon with $500,000 missiles. And "bored" military drone pilots are the source of many "UFO" videos - weary operators end up filming balloons, birds, and more. nypost.com/2026/06/06/wor…

Diving into this this weekend

This is probably the plan

One’s awareness is the ground zero of the Mystery

If creationists were smart, they would insist on mandatory evolution classes.

Existence may be stranger than we can know
