Cyberlog of my thoughts

"obviously the CIA does drug dealing, but don't you a communist support government-owned industries?"

fantasy as a mythic past of our world is done; but consider a fantasy world as an apocalyptic end-times future. Perhaps in the end times, the gaints of rushmore (of which you can only see their heads currently) will stand up and each seize a portion of the world.

"I don't support democracy, because I don't like the people being to blame for the poor quality of their leadership. I like the plausible deniability that the common man isn't an unwise fool"

"no one else bedrotted in quite such a princess-like manner as you. Seeing this, the state did what justice demands and assigned you a tower and 24 maids. My god have mercy on your soul"

you might think locking your children in a cave would protect them from screentime, but plato's cave is all about how you should put down the screen and go outside.

in the far future of radical life extension: "I am not sure if we can hire you because you have no criminal record, not even once in the past 10,000 years, not even during the rule of Jack of the Really Dumb Laws, I think you might be such a stickler for rules that you will be really annoying to work with."

To Zeno, every song is "the song that never ends".

"I hated it when the creep snuck an upskirt photo of me; I hated it even more when he posted it online and it got 90k upvotes ... but I didn't hate it 90k times more. while the unethical gooners delight grows linearly as it grows more popular, my distress grows sublinearly. Thus, by utilitarian logic, at some point of popularity, sneaking upskirt shots of me is morally mandatory. And as an very ethical person, it means I can't really object to them being taken -- but that means I kinda consent to them, which ruins their unethical appeal, ruining everything."

"an egg will spill from your pocket, but if you compact it until it is the size of a fly, it is one of the most powerful pocket items" - a metaphor told to me in a dream, sounding profound but forgetting that metaphors shouldn't just make up details of how everyday items work.
