I tried out #NostrChat and it is amazing! You can mention, react and reply in threads, which i find the most amazing feature and makes it possible to organize the discussion. So i created a #ACIM Chatroom to talk about the book, knowing that there probably won't be much traffic towards that. Nostr is niche, ACIM even more :) so whatever :)

I've been warning against the idiotic set of ideas that came to be called #woke for many years, which does not mean that i'm on the right, i still want everybody to be as happy as possible just like i wanted 20 years ago. But hardly anybody is standing up against it here in #Germany, only the right-wing AfD party, and of course they have success with it, unfortunately. I hope very much that we overcome this extremist agenda from the #center. Michael #Shellenberger held a very good speech summing up all the woke bullshit

Just saw "Fourth of July" by Louis CK and Joe List and I really enjoyed it!

When a man's knowledge is deep, he speaks well of an enemy. Instead of seeking revenge, he extends unexpected generosity. He turns insult into humour and astonishes his adversary who finds no reason not to trust him. Baltasar Gracián #quote #wisdom

#Criticism only affects you, when you agree to it. Use this knowledge to learn about yourself, that's why it's good for you to go out of your comfortzone. #filterbubbles

My #book #recommendations: "Narcissus and Goldmund" by Hermann Hesse: favourite book by my favourite author about life, dualism, wisdom and more. https://www.librarything.com/work/9382/descriptions/206268331 "Lonesome Dove Series" by Larry McMurtry: Series of 4 amazing books about the Wild West, very beautiful, but also ugly and hard. The author knows life i’d say. https://www.librarything.com/work/11201740/descriptions/201201004 "Choke" by Chuck Palahniuk: Interesting story that involves hard realities of life, but manages to see beauty nevertheless. https://www.librarything.com/work/6156989/descriptions/206155739 "The Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky: Classic… anything this guy wrote is recommendable, especially “Crime & Punishment” https://www.librarything.com/work/7856/descriptions/201201040 tell me about your favourite books please!
