Hope Is A Dream That Doesn't Sleep.

my reading goal in 2026 is to have fun and be myself

When it comes to DIY, the two most powerful tools in your arsenal are hubris (to get you started), and sunk-cost fallacy (to keep you going). Without these, there's no way you could convince yourself to build a goddamn shelf out of duct tape and laminated cardboard, using more money on materials than what it would have cost you to just buy a better one from goodwill.

maybe there never were any twin towers. like did u ever see them?

So I know all you kids are joking around but no, you’re not allowed to make jokes about this. No.

"if being hard on yourself was going to work it would have worked by now" okay well being soft on myself isn't working either so what the fuck is left. medium? I gotta be medium with myself? I gotta ask the fucking ghosts for help? is that it?

no no that’s a bop, i love it

Look, it's simple. If a person has to actively work to make money, they're not "the rich" and they're not the problem. A surgeon making $200k a year still stops making money if they stop showing up to do surgery, because they're still selling their labor. The radical discrepancies in how we value different skills are certainly a problem, but the guy who makes money when he doesn't even get out of bed is the one making money on the value of other people's labor.
