"He took up her stiff head out of the leaves and held it or he reached to hold what cannot be held, what already ran among the mountains at once terrible and of great beauty, like flowers that feed on flesh. What blood and bone are made of but can themselves not make on any altar nor by any wound of war. What we may well believe has power to cut and shape and hollow out the dark form of the world surely if wind can, if rain can. But which cannot be held never be held and is no flower but is swift and a huntress and the wind itself is in terror of it and the world cannot lose it."

At the still point, you realize light is always at the center of the universe and it's really everything else that is moving 299 million meters per second. That's the real theory of relativity.

Virtute, silentio, amore.

"A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone."

"On the meridian of time there is no injustice: there is only the poetry of motion creating the illusion of truth and drama. If at any moment anywhere one comes face to face with the absolute, that great sympathy which makes men like Gautama and Jesus seem divine freezes away; the monstrous thing is not that men have created roses out of this dung heap, but that, for some reason or other, they should want roses. For some reason or other man looks for the miracle, and to accomplish it he will wade through blood. He will debauch himself with ideas, he will reduce himself to a shadow if for only one second of his life he can close his eyes to the hideousness of reality. Everything is endured―disgrace, humiliation, poverty, war, crime, ennui―in the belief that overnight something will occur, a miracle, which will render life tolerable."

Not your keys, not your coins. Not your entropy, not your keys.

"There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt."

"I was six when I saw that everything was God, and my hair stood up, and all that... It was on a Sunday, I remember. My sister was a very tiny child then, and she was drinking her milk, and all of a sudden I saw that she was God and the milk was God. I mean, all she was doing was pouring God into God, if you know what I mean."

The happy and healthy human being is the least expensive human being.

There is nothing more 1776 than Bitcoin

Dear Dan Patrick, Sorry, dick fingers. Reality has entered the chat: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." So how about you go ahead and fuck all the way off with your unserious hair-splitting, ackshually gay, rhetorical semantical capital B-Bullshit? Sincerely, Thank You & Fuck You

Sovereignty is the soil that protects the hidden forest inside the seed of your soul. Sovereignty is sacred entelechy.

Death is not a final reckoning but the first reckoning. Ego death is always an initiation. Die before you die so when you die you don’t die. Understand the alchemical hermetic gobblydigook. See the wisdom under the secret. Because yes, yes yes that kind of death will be traumatic and disruptive and destructive and hurts like holy fucking hell. But maybe on the other side, you'll find that your wound is your gift. You'll discover that your curse is your crowd. Because once you don’t fear death, not only are you fully alive, you are finally free.

Ancient religious narratives are hijacking modern day geopolitical policy & statecraft according to Professor Jiang—the Chinese history teacher who thinks Bitcoin is a backdoor CIA operation. Although his hot take on Bitcoin is woefully & laughably underinformed, I do wonder if he's right to predict that there's an epic clash-of-titans endgame waiting for us all at the end of history. Real or not, like it or not, ready or not, religious myths have us all vice-gripped by the balls and they're not letting go anytime soon. Here's his "Law of Eschatological Convergence" explained with cute blob egregores.

"Integrity is the capacity to affirm the value of life in the face of death, to be reconciled with the finite limits of one's own life and the tragic limitations of the human condition, and to accept these realities without despair."

Tetrodotoxin turns you into a “zombie” by slowing the body into a deathlike paralysis while consciousness remains trapped inside. Fiat does something similar to societies. Endless debt. Endless consumption. Endless anxiety. Just enough consciousness to suffer. Not enough sovereignty to escape. A monetary fugue state.

What stage of the military industrial complex is this?
