Spain is destroying itself through its extreme socialism. I don't know about economics and any formal statistics, but I have been visiting it every few years for more than a decade, and it is absolutely evident in every day life, every day sights in neighbourhoods. It is more and more like the old USSR that I remember from the inside. Even the decorations, the style is not just degrading, it is turning into exactly the same style of what I used to live in in USSR. They tend to choose the same shapes and colors and patterns in visual design of everything. Imagine that. All hope in Trump. Hopefully he will be able to turn it around without needing covid-like lessons anymore. I don't know why he would care about Spain at all, but he cares about the world.

Scientists: you gotta eat vegetables and all the plant stuff. Me: Why? Scientists: because of vitamins. Me: I and my fellow cats and dogs have never seen them. Scientists: they only appear under a microscope. Me: Can I see them? Scientists: yeah..moo.. but you gotta be a scientist to understand what you see. Me: 🤨 why do we have difficulties with digestion all the time and headaches often and diabetes and cancers eventually? Scientists: you need to suplement bifido and lacto bacteria to help digest your vegetables and more fiber to push vegetables through your guts, and eat less sugar. Me: why do my muscles get stiff after a short inactivity? Scientists: because of lactic acid Me: what do lacto and bifido bacteria produce in me? Scientists: sugar and lactic acid Me: what does fiber turn into in me? Scientists: sugar. Me: why do I need vaccines? Scientists: to protect you from viruses Me: why have I never seen them? Scientists: the microscope... Me: when I eat only meat my muscles are stronger without exercising and I never get sick. Scientists: that is not proven by science, you have too much cholesterol, you need statins.

The only time joy exists is for a short while after eliminating evil. Or suffering, but that is always caused by some internal or external evil, so same thing. Therefore, both, joy and suffering are evil. The best state of mind you can aim for is neutrality. Always, every day, for the entire life. Never gets old nor boring. Only the wealthy can get that. Not so much in terms of USD (although they are one of the tools), but wealthy in wisdom and time.

@cobratate gives good life advices but gives wrong, actually evil motivation for why all that is needed. Forget collectyvism. Individualism is the only way. Anything measured realative to others is collectyvism. Don't be a gangster, a locust, an ant. Be a grasshopper, an elephant, a lion. It is not lonely. It is adequate. Lions can still sometimes hunt together or sunbathe together. But they do not fuck around making noise neither together nor alone.

Naive means a person, who expects others to be as good as he himself is, who does not expect his own kind to be sitting in an ambush waiting to hunt him down when he is vulnerable. Laugh at naive people now.

Just asking a friend: why do I get a feeling we are going to new ATH before Jan.20? Just to frontrun the inauguration. Actually we should pick up speed if we want to be ATH before inauguration. But don't listen to me, I am a novice in these things.
