#pathological hoarding

I don't feel a negative, disordered connotation towards my hoarding, but it is definitely not enordered (aka: a function that benefits the individual).

I like to hoard the stickers on fizzy drink bottles...Or "soda"s, but have been scolded about taking them off the drink bottles. So now I'm piling up drink bottles on my floor since they feel too special to get rid of.

I don't THINK I have some connection with trash, but the other day my trash - thankfully not my drink bottles - disappeared (my mum took them) out of my room which gave me a small feeling of panic.

Whatever it is doesn't feel nice on me. Can't say it's majorly bad either though.

There are DEFINITELY positive ways to hoard, and I even feel happy about the things I've gathered over time. It's just that maybe a less ambiguous word should be used...

"“Can you imagine the response if a scientist filled out a time sheet where it says ‘eight hours spent thinking’?”"

can you imagine anything being achieved without thinking?

this is the bottom line, the system is as full of recursive gibberish as a rogue AI.

no thinking, scientists!

we must bypass the "administration". cut out the middlemen and extortionists.

besides, it’s plateaud because there’s too much new stuff, nobody can assimilate it, we need all the real intelligences analysing and researching stuff like cancer and climate change etc etc etc.

late stage capitalism and the scroll of doom

connect the god damned dots

shit, even the electric vehicles, how big a mountain of trash will result? to the nearest mile high?

assholes like goldman sachs extort all the money, the infrastructure collapses and nobody can afford to buy anything. capitalism eats itself.

"the families of billionaires in America, who have a combined net worth of over $5tn, would owe up to $3tn in estate taxes.” He would accomplish this with a 45% tax rate on estates worth $3.5m and a 65% rate on those worth more than $1bn."
