I just fought a great battle against a housefly and finally emerged victorious after a daring gambit involving spraying it with floor cleaner while it was stationary.

How can life feel so cold under the summer sun?
>>
>>25300250
The summer sun raises air temperature and skin surface heat through radiation and convection, but internal body temperature or sensations can stay low if someone has poor circulation, anemia, hypothyroidism, or is standing in shade. Life as a biological process doesn't "feel" anything; it's the nervous system in a human body that registers cold despite external heat.

I went to the doctor for an ear infection that I had suffered from for about three weeks the first month of this year, tons of itching and discomfort and swelling.

They irrigated my ear canal and a shriveled up house fly came out of my ear canal. Apparently it must have crawled into my ear and died while I slept.

I've been dreading the return of the flies ever since. The first buzzing I heard this month made me fucking squeamish and I almost had a mini panic. I think I've been mildly traumatized.

Whenever I see horrible footage of someone killing someone else, or whenever I watch movies/tv that revolve around a murder plot, I always think "Thank fucking Christ I'm never going to find myself in that situation where I've killed someone."

I've always maintained that if the first waves of immigration into America in the mid 1800s - early 1900s were mainly just Italian that the Anglo, German and Med together could've built a paradise, but the Irish really did fuck everything up out of ethnic resentment and the Italians were unfairly caught up in the middle.

>but the Irish really did fuck everything up out of ethnic resentment
Which amusingly proves the WASPs correct

Dare I say it, real whites never had an interest in forcing the topic of race. They just correctly identified all the ethnic groups that were a threat to liberal society. Or in other words, "This group is never ever going to play by the rules if we let them in, so we might as well just gatekeep them as hard as possible"

I have thought a lot about "major works" vs "minor works". I believe these terms speak more to influence over personal assertion of quality. For example, if I believed X superior to Y (both written by the same author), I think it would be improper to claim X is the major work if Y is in fact more influential and significant to literary development.
>>
>>25300822
The very first couple of things you need to start practicing are saying, "May I...?" when asking for something, and using the words/terms "Fewer" & "Less than" correctly.

Word. I find it peculiar, yet not necessarily a bad thing, when I hear someone tell me they've read a relatively more obscure book in a writer's corpus and not that same writer's book(s) that they're most well-known for. I've done the same on occasion, myself. Like I had a friend who had only read some singular, very obscure book in Jack Kerouac's bibliography and not On the Road, as most people start with.
>>
>>25300831
Yes, for some authors... I actually think it can be more interesting to tread through the 'minor works', as there are more things to discover that have been left unsaid. For other authors, I just read the 'major works'.

>>
>>25300853
You can just pronounce it as you read it and adapt your pronunciation so people can understand you as the need arises. An English speaker of reasonable intelligence will figure out what you’re saying not only by context but by the fact that there are certain words that do contain silent letters and variations of pronunciation.
Take salmon for example, you can pronounce it phonetically and only a complete retard won’t understand what you’re talking about.
>>
I should add that an English speaker should know how the words are spelled and be able to easily accommodate mispronunciations based on phonetic reading. Personally, I’d consider that the mispronouncer has learned the word from reading it which I’d hold in higher esteem than someone who learns a word only by hearing it but can’t spell. Unless of course in the case of the illiterate, I am patient with them or at least endeavour to be.

Rumi wrote that we know things by their opposites. The more experience you have in this world the more truly good people with kindness and mercy you meet and the more apparent it becomes that cruelty and oppression are bad things. You know they are bad but you don’t understand how bad until you know how good the good can be. Much like honey is sweeter after vinegar. Sex is best between the married couple, it is ruined by adultery. The green apple is crisp and sharp only by comparison to the red apple being juicy and sweet.

Quite ironic that one would often feel those experiences to be the most profoundly influential in the course of one's life which are the least particular either in a general or a personal sense.

just got done reading a substack where they interview a demographer, apparently the two biggest things people dont talk about is how low the birth rate is for most south american countries and how african american birth rate is declining, and recently how black birth rates in america went below white birth rates

Its going to be culturally interesting if black birth rates decline to lower levels in america while we get hispanic and asian immigrants who have a growing population

If I walk by someone's home and they have a kitty comfortably laying down on their walkway to their door, is it legal to walk onto their property to pet it? It seems like a trespassing trap. Pet the kitty, get yelled at, arrested, and then sued. I should have taken a picture. When I came back around it was gone.

there's a kitty on my morning walk who is collared but likes to walk up to the path. might be friendly and won't mind a pet. But there you can ask the owner for permission and it's a public path.
walking up to the door for no good reason is stupid, don't do that unless you have serious business with the people in the house. are you autistic? maybe go to the shelter and get a cat for yourself

I want to learn a lot more about alchemy and hermeticism but I don't want to become a freemason, which is probably the most direct route to the most esoteric knowledge and having someone tutor me through all of it.
I don't believe in all of the conspiracy theories relating to freemasons although I do know for a fact they've had a ridiculous amount of influence from the eighteenth to mid-twentieth century and I just get bad vibes from them, especially from their obsession with Solomon's temple. I also wouldn't be able to answer earnestly if I believe in some sort of supreme being, as I frequently tend to flip-flop on my belief in God, which would make me ineligible to be accepted into their brotherhood, though I suppose I could just lie, but I don't want to do that. I'm also a loser NEET so I doubt they'll take me in on account of that.
It is also my belief that the Great Work has to be undertaken alone (though that belief is unfounded and may be entirely wrong) and joining a fraternity is counterproductive towards that.

Many people are confused by the concept of Kant’s “thing-in-itself”

What we experience as “the real world” is not ultimate reality. Kant claimed we only experience the world as it appears through our sensory apparatus. Consciousness is a guided hallucination, or interface designed for evolutionary survival.

Take N-N DMT (Dimethyltryptamine) for example. Psychedelics can essentially alter or “switch” the spatial modes described by Kant.

Instead of seeing 3-dimensional consensus reality, DMT tunes the brain to alternative, extradimensional spaces where autonomous entities and impossible geometries are perceived. This makes reality more akin to an Escher painting filled with impossible objects and alien cities, rather than the mundane surface reality we see everyday.

The brain is a predictive engine that actively builds reality from digital information. When we ingest substances like DMT, that computational engine is manipulated to render a completely different, non-consensus "world pattern"

I don't believe that, out of all the shitty planets in the world, why would we be any or the only exception? I am a fan of the Dark Forest Theory even if it probably isn't true.
If Aliens exist, why would they even bother with us? Why do we assume they would be like us? They might not really give a fuck about life but love geology and lifeless rocks, so in the same way when we look at a dead planet and just move on, they might come across our planet and go "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?" then just ignore us and move on because we are too gross to them or something.

thoughts while out running today:
-I wonder what it will feel like, subjectively speaking, to die. I guess I'll find out eventually. If I'm unconscious when I actually die will I suddenly experience something when it happens or will losing consciousness beforehand be the last thing I experience in life?
-I took this run out way too fast and now I'm paying for it
-I pass tons of cute birds while running. I wish I could pet them but they're scared of me
-It's too hot for this

There's a lot of people who for some reason think that Aliens are basically space elves. Enlightened beings that may or may not have better technology than us that live in harmony with nature.
I don't get it either, if Aliens know about us they either don't give a shit about us or their equivalent of drunk drivers come by and fuck with us now and then like how drunk rural kids would tip over cows at night.

You can be technologically advanced to the point that your technology becomes biotech and merges with nature or stays separate and is just so ecologically friendly and efficient that does not have high impact on nature, but this is assuming that they live either in low density areas or in buildings that are so big or tall or underground that it has a negligible impact.
