“people are attracted to authenticity but it's hard to Define for me, here is my best attempt, True alignment of what you think, what you say, and what you do. The hardest part is realizing that our thoughts are Fucked and that we have to fix them instead of Faking the next two”

“disrupts socio-technological balance, all scientific advancement due to intelligence overcoming compensating for limitations, can't carry a load so invent wheel, can't catch food so invents spear, limitations. no limitations no advancement no advancement, culture stagnates. works other way too, advancement before culture is ready. disasterous”

“If you hold a gun and I hold a gun, we can talk about the law.
If you hold a knife and I hold a knife, we can talk about rules.
If you come empty handed and I come empty handed, we can talk about reason.
But if you have a gun and I only have a knife, then the truth lies in your hands.
If you have a gun and I have nothing, what you hold isn't just a weapon, it's my life.
The concepts of laws, rules and morality only hold meaning when they are based on equality.
The harsh truth of this world is that when money speaks, truth goes silent. And when power speaks, even money takes three steps back.
Those who create the rules are often the first to break them. Rules are chains for the weak, tools for the strong.
In this world, anything good must be fought for.
The masters of the game are fiercely competing for resources while only the weak sit idly, waiting to be given a share.”
