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?

“The world is all of one piece. He learned that the world is like an enormous spider web and if you touch it, however lightly, at any point, the vibration ripples to the remotest perimeter and the drowsy spider feels the tingle and is drowsy no more but springs out to fling the gossamer coils about you who have touched the web and then inject the black, numbing poison under your hide. It does not matter whether or not you meant to brush the web of things. Your happy foot or your gay wing may have brushed it ever so lightly, but what happens always happens and there is the spider, bearded black and with his great faceted eyes glittering like mirrors in the sun, or like God’s eye, and the fangs dripping."

Not all roads lead to Bitcoin. But every broken system creates a desire path toward it.

"The aim is to balance the terror of being alive with the wonder of being alive."

“It is very important to go out alone, to sit under a tree—not with a book, not with a companion, but by yourself—and observe the falling of a leaf, hear the lapping of the water, the fishermen’s song, watch the flight of a bird, and of your own thoughts as they chase each other across the space of your mind. If you are able to be alone and watch these things, then you will discover extraordinary riches which no government can tax, no human agency can corrupt, and which can never be destroyed.”

“The hidden attunement is better than the open.”

“What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny ‘failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions.’ 
In 1984, Huxley added, ‘people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us’.”

“The cost of a thing is the amount of what I call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.”

“Neutrality consists not in ignoring differences, but in recognising them without letting them divide us.”

“Nothing but a breath is Emptiness, and that greenness of the lovely trees in full leaf: a breath! We, breathed upon still, today still breathed upon, count this slow breathing of the earth: we are its haste.”

Everything is a win if the goal is experience.

“The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.”

The only zen you find up the mountain is the zen you brought up there.
