"This should be an interesting read. I don't have much exposure to traditional conservative values and thinking. He seems very intelligent and not with active malice. So any distaste some of this might stir in me is partially just from its previous mental stagnation exposed." 21 hours, 43 min ago

"A shit ton of tabs already on this one. So much to digest. I thought the roughly 11 or 12 pages a day planned was too slow but this one takes up so much mental bandwidth. Fascinating shit though. Really." 21 hours, 41 min ago

"Starting to get a little bored. Action is still good. Would like to track bad guys a little more or get to the show down." Aug 31, 2026 05:00PM

Joseph Campbell
“I have attended a number of psychological conferences dealing with this whole problem of the difference between the mystical experience and the psychological crack-up. The difference is that the one who cracks up is drowning in the water in which the mystic swims.”
Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

Hunter S. Thompson
“The only way to prepare for a trip like this, I felt, was to dress up like human peacocks and get crazy, then screech off across the desert and cover the story.”
Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream

Hunter S. Thompson
“Why did she have to happen? Just when I was doing so good without her.”
Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary

Lao Tzu
“If a country is governed wisely,
its inhabitants will be content.
They enjoy the labor of their hands
and don't waste time inventing
labor-saving machines.
Since they dearly love their homes,
they aren't interested in travel.
There may be a few wagons and boats,
but these don't go anywhere.
There may be an arsenal of weapons,
but nobody ever uses them.
People enjoy their food,
take pleasure in being with their families,
spend weekends working in their gardens,
delight in the doings of the neighborhood.
And even though the next country is so close
that people can hear its roosters crowing and its dogs barking,
they are content to die of old age
without ever having gone to see it.”
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Ernest Hemingway
“We are all broken—that’s how the light gets in.”
Ernest Hemingway
