I am happy to be a loser in this case! Truly.

You can't serve two masters

Yes, I suppose one can return to oneself, and be happy, but the majority have bought into the illusion to the extent that probably there is not much of themselves they can return to. So, be happy.

I think weve always spoken perfect sense but as you said earlier they derail the dialectics in an almost unconcious way, they are afraid of where our simplest ideas couched in integrity and inspirations lead, what they uncover about them in juxtaposition, which is ridiculous. The lies are too safe and the truth is too scary for them. No progress can be made, only more missteps. Also I know you were raised in south africa and that would be very different culture wise, plus the stigma of being a white south african in Australia, though i think it might not be about that (or it is an added layer of discrimination), its just that you have integrity and true unfashionable empathy at your core. The same reason we are all targeted and treated this way. It does feel like why even try to fit in and it does cause conflicts in your sense of self, the constant attacks on your integrity and purposeful misreads of your intent, its soul crushing. Maybe we are meant to learn to feel this way, there is a certain peace to being alone in your integrity, not needing anyones reflection to see yourself, also we understand pain and can therefore diagnose it. Maybe its to find true human connection beyond the "nihilism" of our actions having no meaning, or interchangeable meaning from others influence. We are not the "cool kids", we dont fit in, we will always be wrong in the eyes of people that cant look at their own actions. Also we are far from perfect and do not expect it. We were not made for where society has landed us and we are better off being truly selective who, when and how we interact with people. Not just pulling up our boot straps and diving in, lol a sure way to drown, unless your drowning others to stay afloat. Success in a society of clueless, rambling, impulsive actions and facades doesnt feel like success to me any more. The only success would be our truth being heard or they can have it all, every good and horrible thing this society expects and forces upon us. Also you are really funny in a way that would go over 90% of peoples heads, at least you never lost your sense of humor about it, that is human and important.

Thank you so much. You are spot on. These days I am finding some deeper truths in some very old-fashioned styles of wisdom. All the best.

About "cool kids" -- in Rhodesian society, the "cool" kids were necessarily male, wore camouflage as "civvies" (ironic, yes?) and brought some of their father's ammunition stash to school.

By definition of gender, I was not destined to get the march right.

Irrespective of your disparate fields, you, Corey Anton, and Momasu are my favourite uploaders on youtube. I consider all of you to be bastions of truth, within a pervasive globalized consumer culture that rewards conformity and inauthenticity and commodfication of one's self (not excluding the institution of academia from said globalized consumer culture).

Such a cute mutt. But he wants to perch on my shoulder like a parrot

My dog was so freaked out about his first car ride home on the day we got him, he crawled up on my shoulder like a parrot the whole way. It's like the closer he was to my face, the safer he felt. Silly little fluff ball.

Yes, that is the philosophy of the mutt, although he does like to put his head out the window of the car. He also gets mesmerised by his own face in the side mirror.

My goodness. Those stumpy little appendages have formed into legs, and he's taken to swimming like a natural. What fun for a little mutt.
