The Desk on the Red Cedar

Reminds me of my analysis prof talking about Terry Tao. He was like, "ugh that man is fucking brilliant, he's relatable because he almost failed grad school because he played too much video games, and he's a great writer and speaker and expositor. The least he could do is be a fucking asshole so you don't feel bad about being jealous of him but no, by all accounts he is also simply a very nice person. Asshole."

"Everyone should just do whatever they want as long as it's not systemic discrimination against marginalized people" is an abysmally low bar and I actually do think humans are capable of more. I actually do believe we can have a world where we are kind to each other and care for each other. I am going to hold people to a higher standard and say so when people aren't meeting it. I would like us not to be tar pits.
