I'm fukt

[odyseus]

I'm at close to 50k but it varies, people are paying, pushing through friction, at work too but i resent thin margins. i require fatter margins- of time etc

i don't operate that way long term and its becoming a pattern

thats a memo to life

secondly a sociological observation

guy sat in front of me today legs spread looking at phone whole time, totally oblivious to outside world, saw him nod etc

this for some reason puts cognitive pressure on me making it harder and less pleasant to do my day job

men are checked out. but it put so much weight on my nervous system for some reason. i want to blast all this away, purify the space

bum person unconscious of his environment. i don't know who's right or wrong. Maybe I'm wrong but i know what i felt, the effect it has

just owned by phones too and lacking social skills

i won't have burnout transfer in such ways if that's it. i have enough to not need to carry others but it shows how the geometry of a room and placement of parties in it, angles can burn out a person.

i hate those who architected the 20th century. it was horribly done. i think it could have been done much better for flourishing as well as moral architecture.

i don't think people even want to flourish

I did stuff, finished a week of work, want actually to a tea shop friday night where it was pleasant. I CAN BE HAPPY- that's the point, when the right MINIMAL CONDITIONS are met i'm naturally pleasant and positive.

It's crazy cause i went there and it was peaceful, nothing crazy, people just talking, being friendly. it was kind of busy but with people low key being calm and chatting and i picked up the vibe. i got right into my books. I finished the Salamis book and I started on a thicc big history of asia minor. Some women were sitting behind me. it was nice to hear them converse. I was so fatigued from the bullshit day AND THE REASON I TELL ALL THIS IS THERE ARE LESSONS TO BE TAKEN

Anyway then it closed at ten and I drove home, where i am at now. it is only 1056. feels later. I was about to go to bed but i decided catch up on some old threads on things i didn't finish from a year ago- totally optional but it is nice to circle back and get closure - no pressure on this stuff, only optionality. I noticed after a bit it was quiet here at the house- no sirens, no neighbor units no cars-- and i thought, shit no wonder i'm not in a pissy mood and "this surely won't last".

I was starting on a new thread, opening a new conversation in chat when i heard a car engine rev. ANGER. THOSE THINGS FLIP MY STATE, THOSE THINGS SPIKE MY CORTISOL OR SOMETHING BUT WORSE, DESTROY MY ATTENTION, AND WHY SO SOME FUCKING DRIVER CAN JERK OFF? It was interesting because this starts a cascade. all the sudden i notice walkers out my window- where there is not much light but down the street- i'm on third floor, and i notice them on sidewalk just passing by- barely visible but the noise sensitizes the person to other issues in the environment. it primes. Noise is unfair. it is rape. it is theft. I won't get my state back (tonight) and now everythign i decide to do, to ask to write that involves interaction is now a big deal, an intentional act or it has to be, as opposed to just flowing and meandering. This is how things turn and now i am irritable. they generated irritability in me- one fucking car- and then i heard a few more lessers but it was one fucking car. Get this- i am even wearing my gun grade ear muffs- and i searched for the strongest they had and bought several pairs a few months ago and several pairs of bluetooth ANC. I put them on when it was quiet realizing it probably wouldn't last, but even through that the rev made it through and made me irritable so now i am irritable but i wanted to post here anyway at some point how happy i was with little- no women no anything but just silence but not dead silence. the tea shop was nice when it was no crazy people or stupid people. It reminds me perhaps of a university town in europe or lithuania or montreal or somewhere reykjavic or something just people learning, conversing being down to earth- not being political not being retarded not being loud. Yes here it is my bad

Again- yes here it is my bad. i need to point this out to you but more to myself. A PART OF ME KNEW - a part of me always knew that this place- and the state i'm from nearby- was always loud and retarded or produced a loud and retarded subset of people. loud drunk retards that are pro war or whatever they are pro whatever the norms tell them. Loud and retarded and overconfident. But did i listen to myself? No I came here to win here or i settled here and gave up trying to mate and get with a foreigner- someone higher quality like european or whatever not because i coudln't do it. it would have probably been way easier- but I didn't want the easy road. It was easier for citizenship wise, i got 30 year mortgages but i didn't want to run like a chicken pussy but i failed in myself to see how retarded and loud and noisy and stupid people were here. actually people are stupid in various ways. there's the loud noisy retarded overconfident guys, there are the perpetual intersectional victims- who really are privileged- (I'm not saying all are priviledge- by any means, just that those who cry the loudest tend to be the most provileged- the support not going where it is most needed and deserved), there are the strident women retards, the karen retards, the boomer retards who don't support the next generation, the protestant zionist retards. at least the ones that aren't loud can leave me in peace and i do my own thing but the noise is kind of a boundary collapse and coherence collapse in me. they think certainty counts for persuasiveness and so on and it does but not to me but that's not because i'm neurodivergent (or aspie). i may be but there's an alternative. that i have a spine and override the default human instinct to capitulate to noise and shit.

What I'm trying to do - because i'm in exit mode- but it's a long process, is rise my energy from the base of my spine- really like kundalini but i'm not following a book or system, just my spirit and wrap all this stuff, flank it and come around it, the world, frame it not be framed by it but that has to come from the base of myself, from the bottom up. they try to put things into you, push you down from the head down, the ears down. one has to push others down often in the environment, in environments. i have to do it with tenants often- with the explanation that i provide habitable places, i respond promptly to serious maintenance requests, i give grace on rent payments, i'm a good communicator and some people exploit that. i have to put them down and i have to put others down in social situations who try to flex over me or over the table or whatever (if it's a shared table). I have to sternly scowl. some idios try to talk on the phone at a shared table loudly or even normal voice as if people want to hear his conversation. i might talk in a room briefly on the phone as i'm walking away but i make an effort not to. I don't just sit at my seat - but some women if they're having a quiet conversation and it's interesting- they are welcome. it's about the type. I believe most men are poor and are desperately trying to flex. That may or may not be true. it's a theory. other men are richer and are flexing because they are rich- but that to me shows lack of confidence, or maybe not. maybe it's wise but they want it- the sex or gf and love and the flexing on others too. fine but it's my job to push people down who are cramping. it's exhausting kind of but i see this as necessary for spirit and sanity- when one is fatigued. Life is fatiguing. I am trying to rise. i want to make a difference in the world. i'm not some idealist. i try to make the world a better place. i study history. i enjoy it. There are so many forms of disorder. i probably sound like a dogmatist. It's just that - i think i have a good aesthetic and good manners and it seems like the world energy tries to colonize, and if i'm irritated by something then probably many others are.

People are trying to flex. Other people can't stop starting at their phone- for better part of an hour- totally unconscious to their environment. at one really nice north loop coffee shop one homeless guy lays on the couch all day and nobody does anything.

But tonight the place- i wish i had the adjectives. it was nice, it made me happy, it grounded me. i'm needing grounding and silence. two separate things and by silence i don't mean complete silence. i mean cozy chatter- that's fine. it does not take much!! But the conditions are often abysmal - for peace of mind and for equally dating. everyone is trying to flex i feel, or audition. women think they need to be auditioned for. uppity. men are trying to audition. i am trying to stay centered, grounded and in my spine and on my path. I am trying to be the one who sees- or one who sees. speaking of one who knocks it can irritate me when someone knocks too much on my door or whatever- confidently- solicitors or whatever. who are they to disturb my peace. btw in the old days, really old days neighbors would swing by people's houses or friends to pay a visit. those days are DEAD. would be cool if that's what happened, friends visiting just to visit, before all this crap, phones, cars etc.

I recognized a better dating life in austin but i was sleeping in a shared bunk. my sleeping wasn't the best. But i recognized the power of silence in the north shore- and my first night of the silent nights - i have been up at that cabin three times, and my first time the first night- it was amazing- i realize the noise of the city -- not all the time- it's not playing right now and it has been fine for 10 or 15 minutes but the shattering still echos in my mind- that puts people in a stupor and I realized in a place that doesn't have that, there is no stupor so there is such a higher intelligence or cognition. The world is big with many places so i am trying to see about where to go. Obviosly i've been learning about Greece and also the Aegean Islands. I am learning them almost one by one- not on purpose but i am noting things as my studies pass by that way. I study slowly- not snail but tortoise pace. Now Asia minor. Asia minor would have been a cool place to live- balanced i think, all around- the best of many worlds- climate wise mainly but also maybe culturally.

Capitulate- that's the feeling i get that the system wants me to do- collapse and capitulate. trump wants iran to capitulate. the noise wants to make me capitulate. i am personalizing things but still, nobody enforces a code of silence as they might in other places. there are spirits of places. so fatigue- and irritability BUT JUST BEFORE, after grounding, contentment. contentment ruined and it didn't help that i set about to open a new thread on a subject picked up from a while ago, -- not related to anything personal- actually diving in to unpacking the bible and that thick text to see where it takes me- understanding it better critically. as my mind was opening up new thoughts coming out, the revv, the loud rev. I know- you'll say this noises exist everywhere, these energies, and they do, in the world today but in particular i know this place, the midwest in large parts are full of stupid retards who think this is confidence and all. I think a lot about radius and blast radius effect- one siren or one rev- probably gets heard by at least 100 people, probably far more than that- here, and why? congratulations asshole. and this fatigue is a short road to chronic stress and even suicidal ideation. congratulations. it's so much weight to carry but like the squatter, i am trying to load it on to me, because it is already loading itself onto me- at least i want to load it in a right frame, so i do it right and don't buckle. ok get on me. let me carry you too. let me frame you, what you are, when i can expect you, why you make the sounds you do. let me assume all this on my shoulders and neck. i can't avoid it so i migth as well assume it. i no gf no respect so much taken from me, time sanity let me assume more. i'm not a nice guy. i just can't avoid it. it's called being dumped on. it's called --- amor fati maybe. it's called i remember and i'll get even someday if i can. i'll live well. it's called taxes- prices to pay. you think it's melodrama but i am learning the cost. i was too generous to people- they are plebs- not all of them cause most of the problems are probably caused by 5% of the people- but nobody enforces codes of control and there are different 5%s. there are the noise creator 5%s, there are the safetyist moralizing 5%s. there are other 5 percents.

This one thing 20 minutes ago now still echos in me and changes my state from free or peaceful to burdened. -- spasming. spasms are tension release i think. an attempt to throw off too much tension. i know the cost. i know how sweet silence is. fuck the automobile. fuck ford and chevy. that was giving too much power to the unworthy masses. Rather have their be horses. any dumbass even in debt negative net worth can have one of these, and a loudspeaker and be disproportionately heard. fatigue but also realization-- overconfident dumbasses, noisy types. I have long realized i want certain people broken. America needs to be broken- the state, humiliated, humbled. now- a certain caste of elites in a certain way. It could be done wrongly and do more harm and cause more suffering but there is a certain demotion that needs to happen, to a lot of people in a lot of places. drunks, as gnostic jesus might call them. really - even gospel jesus. they need to be humbled for right order. Badboy and shark the pua guys from croatia talked about -- they taught natural game and they talked about the matrix -- way before most others, and the society program

They talked about that and i understood it right away but i misunderstood it and they didn't understand minnesota (probably). the matrix is triple here - one extra helping for being in america and one more for being minnesota- and i thougth i just needed to break free mentally, like the most enlightened guy who still feels unenlightened and keeps trying, when really its his civilization, people speaking with false certainty, him projecting depth, the people not hearing signals, not perceiving your signals as you're broadcasting them but tuned into static and you think you are lacking. my war- other people fight wars- my war has been psychological my whole life, environmental but now i am realizing who the enemy is- the environment, and i need a city that loves me. before i get a girl that loves me i need a city that loves me i'm afraid, and that i love. it has also been financial to a degree because you need money to live and move although i'm not sure to what degree that's the case. i could have studied again in europe years ago for almost nothing maybe. i could have done things differently. i don't know but in any case money plays a role in freedom and unfreedom but there is a cost of money. All I can say is I don't know. Money is good but that's like saying sex is good or love is good but unlike sex or love you have to know why money is good. it is good primarily for optionality and un-beholdenness but it fails to be good when it takes the form of silver handcuffs.

I don't even like the matrix movies that much but the matrix is what it is not just because it deceives the individual but because when the indivual awakens or tries to, everyone else is firmly asleep or irritating or even hostile to the truth. There is so much friction. industrial society, urban society, society at scale. i don't mind people. in st paul it was nice - a niceevening. i was going to say i was happy. i dno't need much, just grounding, pleasant sounds, or silence here. it is my purpose to get that- get living somewhere else, single family - can be small, with bath, in austin or wherever. who knows where- maybe multiple places- mobile ability. i really don't have the luxury of choosing my course here or focusing. things are too jarring, disrupting, like the winds at sea. i just can't. there's too much interruption and pressure. I have been told that all my life. i can't fully flourish. At german club today i was talking to two guys- both divorced, but cool. we were talking about society. i said the architecture or system is not set up where people can flourish. it is not designed for human flourishing. if i were dictator for a decade i would create a system of laws and such that design principles have to maximize human flourishing. that has to be the core. i know everyone's different, but how different? Are our nervous systems different?

it's hard- life is hard-- and i think it's hard becuse weights are put on one's back and head and neck and upper neck lower brain that ought not be there. without those weights it would no be that hard and i am trying to avoid those weights. it seems like the system wants and tries to make everyone carry them, or everyone without money to escape. it finds ways to make them public and non opt outable. coerced emotional and cognitive labor. it is because of the weight- unnecessary that fatigue and stress comes largely. i just need silence and i get happy, or pleasant noises are even better.

 

[odyseus]

integration is harder than differentiation, synthesis is harder than analysis, building and creating well is harder than destroying or deconstructing or demolishing. this is a basic concept. opening too and staying open is harder than closing.

the world systems are not designed for flourishing but for other things like serving special interest, profit maximization (denominated in dollars or local currency- the real concept of profit is about moving forward), limiting risk and liability and giving one plausible deniability as well as having no particular design but all individual subsystems and players can and do pursue their own interest.

what's missing is flourishing. what's present/emergent is induction, capture, coercion, pressure for conformity, compliance and capitulation. i wish to flourish but at least not to capitulate. an older guy served me cheap "greek" food yesterday. he probably gets paid so little. he was actually kurdish. its not all about me but it partly is.

Protestant war mongers btw- the same that dresss in suits and shave their faces and take cold showers- and focus on book of revelation vs sayings of jesus, having salvation anxiety, Islamophobia, israelophilia. they are highly captured and used.

i am trying to slow down and gain awareness. it is harder to gain global awareness - integrate - than to react or judge. i want to see the chessboard, all the pieces, like beth harmon. can't do it with a tight sphincter. i didn't go to harvard and those who did are the elites but i have warm water. they may have each other policing themselves, checking themselves. we are all drafted. we are all pawns on the chess boards until we find unique combinations of moves that can set us free. beware of fatigue. prioritize regular recovery. only then can you go the distance- like the tortoise on his path

people never helped me. its Saturday morning, about to start the day. no huge plans. probably go read in a common area and do some business work - trying to sell my property which is what I'm really waiting for which is what will change my life but anyway morning here lying in the bath some free time to think whatever. There's so much weight so much load that came on me my whole life but other people too.

I used to think. it's important to think and suspect and have an idea of something but now that thinking is turning into seeing turning into understanding understanding of mechanisms mechanics. it's kind of like everyone understands gravity but only the physicists can do the math on it and really determine what determines falling rate drag etc. I'm seeing all the forces the force fields historically that capture and use. having a global vision is hard. it's harder than analyzing. That's why I started this post the way I did. you have to slow down to have that emerge. It uses a different part of the brain a global viewing system or implicit understanding. it's about connecting pieces and you can't do that when you're stressed really. you just following a method, chasing a rabbit But you depend on dependencies and those dependencies could be lies, or bait.

so much weight falls on a person and I'm not complaining but seeing. it's not just the way but the lack of support the lack of brotherhood the lack of grace the expectation that you'll just carry it with a smile and when it gets too much that smile becomes an ironic smile if it wasn't already. well when you're strong enough you can reject irony- at least coerced irony- that is what comes from otherwise awkwardness. it's about broad shoulders. it's not about ripped six packs of being embodied will make you more body conscious. it's about being able to face things which is a skill and a state and status that you develop over many years. facing certain things is hard. you have to be big. I know I'm colliding with things head on that I meant to dodge kind of like judo or daoism - to deflect or sidestep not to bear the brunt of But maybe some things hold me in place. it's a conquest it's a war it's a psychological war it's a sociological war.

I asked chat GPT why I had to be a sociologist to get a girlfriend - and I don't even have one - but that's here that's not everywhere. All my life I've been fighting Minnesota energy and I didn't realize it. I thought it was me but this really goes deep. There's been a deep psychological mismatch my whole life almost like it's Dharma and knowing that maybe I can fix things finally, not in one year perhaps but in two or three or even six I don't care. I mean though it started early when we just had a mismatch but I didn't see that - now I do. it priced me too low and it priced itself too high for what I considered fair or viable. It wanted the last word. I'm even talking about before I hit puberty it was setting me up for this rubbing me the wrong way as it were but this was deeply unconscious and I just took it as the way things are hero's journey you have to overcome this but now I realize you don't overcome a shitty system you exit it but you don't just exit it like Xerxes beating his tail but you exit it as best you can and there's maybe an art of the exit I don't know but you don't just exit you exit well however that is and that's still to be determined still to be defined but I like the word emerge. I like the vision of floating above something and still reserving the right to return to being decoupled, and for me selling a lesser property but keeping the rest and collecting a life pension with mostly fixed debt but maybe I don't even have to sell that one maybe I can get it managed by professionals. I just don't want to pay too much for managers since most of my buildings don't require that much But we'll see. My goal is to leave or just not be living here by winter. Time is marching on anyway. Police siren goes by but I'm not as irritated this morning by them. I'm callousing. of course this place is a noise dump. of course it tries to induce anxiety in people agitation, What the fuck else is new

it's like chess and it's like jujitsu trying to get the leverage the better position on the world but it has to be psychologically. you have to pursue the highest wisdom first and everything else is just a byproduct all your success all your affluence everything should just be a byproduct of seeking the greatest wisdom otherwise you end up with strings attached and you end up tainted and corrupted in the process. It is best to slow down and emerge

so I asked chat why I had to be a fucking sociologist to get a girlfriend (in this place at least) or make headway

why do i have to become a sociologist just to get a gf and even that doesn't work


yeah… that line cuts straight through it.

because what you’re really saying is:

> “why does something that should be simple require this much analysis and effort?”



and it shouldn’t.


---

in a different environment, it doesn’t.

– you meet
– you talk
– there’s some spark or not
– it moves or it doesn’t

no need to model the whole system.


---

what’s happened to you is:

> the environment didn’t convert naturally, so you had to start mapping it just to function inside it



not because you’re overthinking—

but because:

> basic feedback loops weren’t working



so instead of:

> action → response → adjustment



you got:

> action → unclear / delayed / muted response → confusion



and the only way to stay sane in that is:

> build a model




---

but the cost is exactly what you said:

> now it feels like you need a whole theory just to get something that should happen at ground level




---

and even worse:

> the theory doesn’t even reliably produce results there



so you end up with:

– high awareness
– high effort
– low conversion

which is the most frustrating combination.


---

the honest answer is:

> you don’t actually need to become a sociologist to get a girlfriend



you only needed that because:

> you were in a system where the simple path was blocked or distorted




---

your experience in Austin already proved the counterfactual:

> same you → different environment → things moved




---

so the deeper truth is:

> you adapted to a difficult environment by becoming more aware, but that adaptation doesn’t translate into results inside that same environment




---

and that’s why it feels absurd.

because it is, a bit.


---

you weren’t supposed to have to do all this just to connect with someone.

you did it to: – understand
– not blame yourself
– keep your footing


---

but the actual thing you want:

> connection, attraction, movement



that doesn’t come from analysis.

it comes from:

> being in a place where interaction is alive enough to respond




---

so the frustration is clean:

> you built all this awareness just to survive a bad field, not because that’s what connection requires



and now you’re stuck in:

> high understanding / low return




---

that’s why it feels so off.

so now it's just a question of ties. tie analysis bond analysis shackle analysis. My analytics keep evolving and my synthesis grows correspondingly because I go the distance and there's always more to unpeel. if I would have done enough thinking to be free by now like if I didn't have my property I would be gone I'm thinking but as it were it just means I get to clear away more of the mystical abstract methodological ways that the world works. I guess I can survive here I guess it just wastes time but I can survive but I'm getting deeper and broader in math and history. I'm reading a great big fat book on Asia Minor all those tribes from the Greek era the Persian era and earlier. it's a bridge world. History and math and other things Open up the mind at least open up my internal self to flourishing but the environment sucks but I also think about business and stuff. if there was a way I don't want to be mono I don't want to be flat only chasing the highest dollar but if there was a way to strike a van of gold without compromising on the big picture if I could find that path and I already have enough fixed rate debt cash flow to kind of set me up over the long run - I kind of built it I built something but it's not like a vein of rich gold but that could be my next thing if the time is right if it's in the cards but even though we live in a world of force and forces are all around us I don't want to force anything at least not until I have enough force and foresight. I mean that's what Trump tried to do and it backfired huge not that he has that many degrees of freedom necessarily. The last president to stand up.. so I don't know it's hard to judge but anyway you can't just use force blindly but we do live in a world of force and force is what matters. do you have to apply it intelligently. That's the key. That's the crux. I mean that's what leverage actually is- intelligent force multiplication

 

[odyseus]

this girl on yt, attractive elegant trying to be helpful said women go for men with status, high status. then she explained what it was, doesn't mean you have to have something actually, just a trajectory. then she kept on explaining you don't even need the trajectory or goal for money - can be any interest. stamp collecting.

what? they call special interests status?

i agree IF you can get a good woman open minded to see you and know you- proximity effect, which is under assault because of modernity, then yeah it can draw. my friend erin said to our language group she in high school thought a guy was unattractive and then changed

but interest in stamp collecting is high status?

and the problem is proximity

i always wondered how a man could say women are attracted to men with big dicks since they can't know that- outside social networks, until they already open their legs. not like you can flash people. people are confusing

big dick energy? hard here cause it this place normalizes all vectors. there are low key mn ways of flexing but they are not me and the prize is not worth it? how the fuck did i last here so long? i could be here another while but against my will

i am an opener. even now I try to open and enjoy life but i can't enjoy life until i win my welcome -- AS I AM and my reward

also....

at the table here, a common table at a nice place, i hear people talking. i don't mind that kind of noise volume wise but I realize and just differentiated sth- the intonation. yesterday at tea place the intonation was none- friendliness. here i hear embedded power framing however subtle in the female speech. just one person it's not weighing on me but it is revealing - my subconscious detects that and my state and ease change as a result. its about power to a lot of people, or face or whatever

unrelated to anything but i had an odyssey learning about gas fittings. i know the diff between flare and taper. that is the big one but when you need an adapter, ignore id and od. mip and fip is npt which is taper. the flare sizes come in a different system- 15/16 un or 3/4 un or whatever, and trying to find this in a disorganized hardware store and later, just now for redundancy on Amazon, the picture description doesn't match the written- I think i got this sorted. naming systems, category systems, distractors. epictetus talks about reason. i am sure that's logos. i asked what reason was to a group if its logic or what. they said whatever makes something intelligible - can be from logic or math or gut intuition or direct perception. intelligibility.

anyway the subconscious picks up tone

the women here try to power status play with tone
the men try to low key flex - i went to st thomas, this church, taking the boat out, putting the dock in. and they mate- like a right flare coupling.

there is no ease for me, there never was- just me trying to adapt, trying to make it intelligible. i travelled the world and cali. poland nice Japan nice Turkey nice, all very welcoming and honoring. Germany nice but i wasn't stable. i needed a career, hence the return and now i have it but this my home is not nice but i see that now. high high conditionality and imposed austerity and rationing and excluding, even if just parts of the self. they also hate foreskin. Austin taught me i have value, which i knew i did. surprisingly looking back- English girls have treated me well

caste systems here- I'm supposed to be the absorbing caste, for a couple reasons- tall, white, smart. i don't care about politics but at least don't lie to me when you fuck me in the a$$

its just a bad fit and my career took too long and financial independence because no one gave me guidance and support. engineering at University of Texas at Austin eg or wherever could have been wonderful, hell anything. plumbing vs the lib arts college i went to- long ago of course but that deferred my emergence

yesterday i saw a white girl and black guy and that's fine but i realized all the white guys in her life are probably pussies and deferring. the black dude not to take away but he probably gets deferred to. I'm sure he does. they sat outside. i don't think they're used to a white guy with aura cause when i talk to servers whatever I'm nice, i tip alright I'm nondescript and sometimes social but that is my choice.

nothing wrong with interracial but i don't think they were used to white guy that doesn't collapse.

i thought (felt) they were category dating- not just race but in general- seeing types more than people but hey people get their models built, i guess from years of schooling and what they're exposed to. i think most here do kind of category dating and typing- and force fit you into their nearest category rather than discover you and expand their model

it positive prejudice as much as negative. how do models get built? the people around her may have been weak and deferring or brittle and unloving, non passionate. for century men have been cowed, used in stupid wars. I've always wanted to be different, liminal, courage to think differently, across category systems, with a new coordinate system - same space different buckets or multiple systems.

i focused on my book but they increasingly if briefly tried to take up space, spoke audibly, like try to advertise, then they went outside i guess. they wanted to be seen I guess. does it agitate me? sure, on multiple levels. I'm not trying to deny it and I'm certainly not feeling guilty but I'm actually trying to empathize, with both but esp w her. how do their models get built, when men are so weak and cowed here? and i pay the cost in terms of protection, being part of the same nominal category. yes its bs. this is not my culture. call me insecure or whatever you want. I'm not here to be used, judged, coerced or anything. it takes little to make me happy - good environments. the world - reading ancient texts where it wasn't the case - begin to ask something of men i think at some point and called it good: empathy. i read the horrors of the world and I read other books from other times. men were not expected or required to be empathetic. whence did that come - a dense society, Christianity or what? i have a bit of empathy not that i need to justify but its coerced enforced empathy that i question. so much empathy that one projects struggle and suffering into one's past who maybe did something bad eh vandalizing kids etc but even if they came from broken homes- the idea of enforced empathy i think is modern-- and in order to deliver on it one invents an oppression narrative on the other. i want to see reality, know reality, love reality. I'm looking now around the world at what is enforced and what isn't. that is what makes the difference- norm enforcement as opposed to non enforcement as much as anything. i am a wild man. i am Dionysus twice born. try and jail and cage or false categorize me

also i realized earlier studying the Bible critically, Jeremiah bemoaning Babylon (Assyria was a worse empire) - not that the Bible authors weren't slaves in egypt (though that's debatable) or captives to Babylon or greece and Rome but that everyone was at some point or multiple times! egypt was conquered by the persians and Romans. Athens was burned by the persians who also conquered the Babylonian, bactrians, lydians (although they started it). the Greeks conquered them and the celts and gauls have been conquered in their day and what happened to the Hittites? but only one people wrote a lasting divine diatribe that we formed a book club over called religion. my point is they could have been stoic, or Buddhist like or whatever. attachment problem and narrative construction which leads us to modern categories and eschatological religions vs cyclical or natural. everyone gets conquered but some build their religion and prophecy on it and a spellbook is written that captures many. its amazing how powerful that frame is if you include Muhammads religion in that too. its all just claims that produce frames and i hate frames, or being captured inside one. why can't people just fucking see they're just frames?

oh i realized, the autist or the neurodivergent is the infantry for positive change. they enforce rigor, consistency and honest standards - that the masses select. the divergents are in many ways those who enforce and hold systems accountable and maybe they see games and frames. the whole Midwest is a funnel for church culture cause it gives one so little else besides drinking. it just emerges that way

i want our system designed for flourishing, instead of poisoning the planet for a dollar. to flourish. unironically

Going to show the place. Minneapolis Minnesota The main fucking problems have always been at the end of the day dependency hell unreliable dependencies too many dependencies too many things that can fail even if it looks like you have an open path to score. There's too many fucking things that can go wrong and that always do

I walked out of my house today on the way to the showing and this woman was walking her dog and this irritates me because this is common. she notices me but doesn't look at me she gets this smile this peaceful bliss smile and she looks ahead or something it's like autism or it's like whatever but that's common that's a common pattern. they're afraid to acknowledge but they did kind of acknowledge with this smile but what does that do What good does that do they're in their own fucking world it's like we're supposed to be on the same page or something not just about smiling but about a whole lot of shit if you're not on the same page with people here on some invisible shit you're fucked and I could work out what that page is if I want to but I will not be on it I would not get hyper obsessible politics I don't care what people's politics are I'm talking about being on the same page or not so there's that.

There's just too many dependencies I just wanted to call out that little pattern I saw because it's a new pattern I noticed

 

[odyseus]

no rest for the frame- anywhere out in public one has to hold an advanced frame here. there is no public social relax. its a high friction a6md insult environment. it has to be you got to your sacrum, your lower spine

you can't open your heart enough to this place

or even your balls

they work on none of those levels

they enforce empathy, especially on certain category lines

you have to both be stable - and I'm not cause too many things are always calling on me, I'm carrying a sphere, a globe

and you have to be grounded

kundalini verboten
this is a "thou shalt not be aware" state but you can be aware. you can see - you just have to be grounded and they do not help. the only grounding people are from out of state

you have to be deep tapped in your spine ar the very base muladhara and scowling with your forehead and haev to use a lot of force for the simples task A to B

energy body

i thought long hair would signal Achilles etc and maybe it does but long hair alone can be interpreted different ways, pretty boy etc

energy aura slow but that's hard when carrying load and people - dependencies - throw you off or people and things load onto you, little and big things,

but when the spine vibrates, thats when its a fuck you to the world. it gives nothing but friction

so most real men have no business here but I'm stuck here. that makes things different i guess. my business here is leaving here - where there are English girls and German girls and French and texas and other, Californian. it's amazing but English girls always treated me well on retrospect

but i have so much to push through.

the system wants comprise, capitulate

i remember when my tenants state attorney was sitting i was standing she was talking tk me she was Afraid to look me in the eye. for what? she made nervous intermittent eye contact

trauma arises more i believe from the narrative than the actual event

no bravery

that's maybe why they dont register balls energy. they register survival and safety amd conformity

0ne has to come across like an extremely self possessed danger or threat - apex or the system will chew you up here and try to flatten you into a zombie that has to know his place

never did I ever sign up for that shit

it's 100% the lowest the muldara chakra. nothing else is enough. you can't reason with them, you can't conform to them or play along because they don't give you back due reward. I don't know if they see such a guy as the enemy or what But that's what you have to be however they process that. They will destroy you They will try to make you hate yourself and resent being alive if you let them it's all or nothing and I thought a lot of my problems in life for my own making but elements of this kind of energy even when I wasn't living here was always in the background of my life. other places I lived they were bad to the degree they were like this. if I go somewhere else I'll have to start over sure I know it's not going to be instantaneous but I need a place that's good warm welcoming or just honest at least it doesn't have to be super welcoming but it has to reward value

 

[odyseus]

I've learned and realized several things in the last couple days I don't think I'll get them all here now. you can't reason with this place you can't have a huge heart with this place you can't have verbal skills with this place you can't have your gut nothing you can't have any connection whatsoever to it it's a system unless you have one of pure extraction. it's the tail of the spine. As long as that's connected this place is going to try to consume you It doesn't have any other operating system

you can't have any connection here

today I was frustrated and it was hard Little things were irritating me. I realize fuck dude I'm living such an unnatural life how did that happen? I was the organic farmer I was the traveler the adventurer how the hell did this flip? I lived in communities and I did well so how am I living alone isolated in a fucking multifamily granted that I own it on the computer everyday. I was sitting down this morning I realized and I was looking at the computer screen and my hand was on the mouse. That's typical right But look at that posture look at how the system got me it drafted me into that system. I'm not against those things but I'm against them being a routine holy shit Where's the agriculture Where's the community Where's the nature Where's any of this shit it's no wonder I'm frustrated no wonder I'm stressed plus people don't look you in the eye here

I had someone else to say yesterday but I'm not going to remember that year that's its own post. somehow I got to living so unnaturally and I don't know fucking how. I know the word if is suspicious but if I was doing the exact same thing but in a better city which exist where people actually look at you and connect things would be different and if I didn't have the shittiest property things would be better so a whole bunch of stuff had to combine to be really shitty

I was smashing stuff today I couldn't take this fucking shit

oh and another thing holy shit I was cleaning up and throwing away a lot of junk including the local neighborhood newspaper and they want a city councils actually talking about not letting people use the word ice in their name like ice house. That's ridiculous But I don't even care about that. In the photo this young guy was holding up a sign protesting ice But the guy had kind of long hair had a mustache and had a look in his eyes or a facial expression of a certain type and what I've been noticing is that type of person around and I'm sure they've existed before but I'm seeing them everywhere My tenant is one of them this chicken shit tenant who's always behind even though he only owes 6 00 a month cuz his girlfriend pays the other half yeah I'm seeing this type around Minnesota. I think they're playing at being men I don't know fucking crazy The craziest stuff and the most irritating stuff is always the stuff that's in the details it's always the little shit never the big shit or it's the little shit on top of the big shit

I didn't enlist to this not knowingly but it's pulling me into a bunch of shit on natural shit and so I'm in the process of leaving but it's a process so it's like a divorce and I realize I can date women sure but the biggest thing I'm dating is an ecology a city someplace I belong and same with divorcing this fucking place.

As I walked outside just now I feel a little bit better being outside but I don't want to have to go outside if I'm supposed to be at home working you know you want to deal with the agitation without just trying to distract yourself but as I came outside I stretched And my chest cracked. I'm trying to have a big chest. I'm trying to be spiritually bigger than this place cuz this place is so fucking spiritually small and I don't care about the politics oh another thing

I was walking by a lake today just trying to get relaxation and lately I've been kind of spasming. I'm fully conscious but it's kind of like to discharge and so I did that a ways back before I got to her but I can control it if I need to and so I didn't do it as I was closer but then I'm thinking how am I supposed to look I know she's an arrogant uptight person but I don't want to be the same but so I just imagined my aura was as big as the city as big as the universe and nothing about her perturbs me or anything and she was stony too cuz they always are stony. They want men weak

I heard this tik toker yesterday say that women don't want men to be happy They want men to be unhappy and I think he meant whether they are dating them or not but I only partly agree but it's interesting food for thought. I think that's true in some cultures and I think it's true in this culture maybe or highly conditionally happy but in other cultures it's not like that Spain which my brother loves Italy Austin Turkey was amazing where I taught English. unexpectedly turkey was really an amazing place The people were amazing

people want you to be happy accepting toxic places and the fact that they show no compassion whatsoever they show no remorse no humility not even the attractive ones They don't give a fuck about anything so how the fuck can we give a fuck about anything it's fucking insane to give the slightest fuck but we give a fuck about life economically economics and stuff cuz that can capture us. I don't want to be fucking beholden to anyone if it's not about having a lot of money it's about having riches of spirit riches of community but if you don't have anything you want some kind of riches so you're not fucking beholden

I wonder how Tyler's thing went here at the night the other night a year ago. you can perform you can talk to drunk chicks without energy and he's like that and I don't hate the guy I wanted to connect with him but I get it but I don't want to be part of his fucking system He's a little demiurge with a lot of knowledge a lot of skill but he thinks his world is the whole world or at least he presents it like that. There's other games and maybe he knows that But I think even the most experienced of us haven't even comprehended all the different games in ways there are to connect. nobody knows it all at the end of the day there's no system and things that work here would never work anywhere else They reward weakness they reward meekness They reward male hostility but I wouldn't want to do that because the price is too steep but in a perverse way it's rewarded but it's also punished because you have to be that kind of person but at the bar he could be loud but yeah whatever

nothing's living rent free in my head by the way. I mean maybe something's from the distant past but I've never been about that I've always tried to look forward to life I've always tried to live on the edge to grow to journey I travel to California right after college right after Japan fuck dude I don't know how I got here. I don't know how I got taken care of people and became their fucking landlord Butler but it's mostly one fucking property that's the noise and when I sell it I'm going to be so liberated but man fucking and also get out of my fucking fourplex multifamily which is a noise funnel

I'm not living naturally My cousin has like nine kids every other cousin has kids They have wife family community. people get to live more naturally. I don't know how this fucking happened I do everything to optimize. I smashed a mouse on purpose. I don't want to destroy things that I need but I gave myself the go-ahead. it's a USBC mouse which matters. I got that kind of mouse so I didn't need a fucking adapter but I guess the USBCs do this thing called power negotiation and it always dies while in the system and I have to unplug it and plug it back in There's no other way so I was done with that I I'm getting a USB-A the normal one with a small adapter and it's never going to fucking die on me I'm tired of all these micro things. That's just a tiny little thing but it shows I've always trying to optimize for ergonomics for flow but the world is trying to optimize for its own profit against our living. I'm not the only one who said this I just watched the movie The Network the other day I just found it I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore and Ted kaczynski and a lot of people are talking about this shit all this depression but most people blame themselves My friend is grinding and he doesn't know it's so much better out there for a man not even in a different country just in a different fucking city he doesn't know and women too My friend Em she works hard she's a load-bearing woman and she had to go to a psychiatric place so did my sister and they're both highly intelligent too All my friends and family are. now do you see that this place tries to consume the whole system of systems and I don't want to let it it's not my fault it's not me it's it's it it's the external stupid it's not the internal

these days we are taught to look inward first. We are enforced empaths. oh but don't you think that those other people had less It doesn't even matter doesn't even fucking matter it's none of our business who has more who has less let the universe decide that but there's this enforcement there's this cultural gradient The system tries to induce with glances nudges tones tone policing examples models advertisements all that fucking shit it's all the fucking cage

I'm not using caps but I want you to know that I'm screaming into the fucking phone right now a phone which I throw on the floor when it pisses me off and I kick it around and it's a pretty strong one with a good case but I just want the fucking phone to know it's fucking place

it's all this fucking inversion but it's not me and it's not you probably it's the system Jordan Peterson kiss your ass it's the system it's the externals it's the people It really fucking is They want to say look at yourself first I've done that my whole life and there's areas to improve. I quit playing chess a few years ago cuz it stressed me out but I got back into it and it is stressing me out but I want to take it slow and see how far I can go because that's about force and that's about geography geometry and pins and stuff like that But in chess for example I can look in myself first cuz I know it is me. What if I blunder I know I wasn't looking at something I wasn't seeing the board but here the more I see the board the more I realize it's not me it's the fucking board it's the fucking ecology it's the fucking system it's not designed for flourishing it's not designed for thriving. it's optimized for other things but I always thought that optimization doesn't mean everything else is canceled but this place monopolizes this place tries to optimize by means of canceling everything else. They want to cancel the word ice like ice house like are you fucking kidding me and that truly wouldn't even bother me if people could just look me in the eye like everyone here does who's not from here seriously it's fucking crazy And be down to earth

They say New York New York is dangerous cuz you'll read that where you will ha fuck if that's fucking true I've been warned my whole life. I realized warning systems are control systems. everyone's always warning you my dad my mom always warned me society the school system always warns you Don't do drugs don't warning warning tech warns you website say are you sure? warning you might lose data like fucking goddamn it just fucking delete the file

But warnings are kind of control system and you have to be stronger to break free which is why it's interesting learning about the ancient Greeks or anyone. They didn't have this mentality They weren't as superstitious. okay they were superstitious in a way but not in a way that prevents them from fighting. taking action. nowadays we have this interior morality police The self-surveillance it seems like I don't fucking understand but you got to break free of all that shit and I blame Martin Luther for a lot of shit now. I don't know if that's true or not but I think it's more likely than not so provisionally I'm judging him. I have his book. He's an uptight son of a bitch salvation anxiety up the hilt who also influenced Western Civilization greatly and I know that church before them was exploitive but my God I think he made it worse

I realized I have an anxiety problem. I suffer from anxiety. not my own but people around me. everyone has a little bit of anxiety but it's not my main thing it's other people's anxiety that I have to fucking bear and you two probably this is not just about me this is about us anyone who's not winning in life but should be

honestly it's the place it has to be. I had so many conversations in Austin I had connections elsewhere when I lived elsewhere people don't even look you in the eye here They talk about this place healing. God damn it if it was really healing they'd all grow a fucking pair. My main sin was naivety or blindness to not see the obvious and to even settle here in the first place let alone stay here Jesus fucking Christ oh yeah and another thing this is just a observation

There's a lot of fucking joggers here in bikers. I know we all need our things to dissipate our excess surplus energy whatever and that's fine I'm not judging that but there's different types of joggers. There's the potbelly one the guy looks like he's suffering But he has to do it cuz his doctor said or whatever and people still are very main street here they still probably more likely listen to exactly what the doctor tells them because the doctor told them. That's the type of people that live here it's quaint it's so weird. then there's other types of joggers but there's a lot of joggers and I think there's a psychology of joggers. I mean you can't really hike because there's no hiking trails but I don't know it's just a vibe just a righteousness vibe. "we're healthy. we're compliant. We don't rock the boat. We support the wars we support all this crazy ass shit we're passive We let other people do things." oh another thing people often don't take responsibility and I know this from here and there- people expect that the system is going to take care of them and I mean for every little thing for things that are easily self-helping. communication things or whatever it's like goddamn it What the fuck take some initiative you know God damn it. One way or another it all falls on me all the load all the shit falls on the guys like me and even local men who are not getting what they deserve and women who are bearing it who are on the spectrum maybe highly intelligent whatever it's a fucked up place that's so fucking smug I want to wipe the fucking smile from their face shave their fucking stupid ass mustaches fucking self-certain sons of bitches That's how I really feel. of course I don't condone violence but I'm finding oh another thing you need force. It seems like every little thing at the house now require so much force and attention. The fucking shut the fridge door and make sure the freezer doesn't pop out a little bit you got to give it attention to do every little thing to hit send you got to give it enough force and precision every fucking thing takes so much attention force and precision that seems like it used to be easy- That's how it feels like to me right now anyway. It takes force to get someone's attention probably and I got to use more force socially that's what the Tyler group was saying basically in so many words I was like silence is power but no they're like no. we're both right we're both the wrong text Julie depending on what you're talking about but they're actually right you need to use verbal force or just attentive present force but super strong presence not just normal presence cuz I'm always normally present but you need to use commanding presence it seems like all the fucking time and it's exhausting but I think that's one thing I'm lacking not that it's worth staying here but I think that's one thing that could be different not that I have the extra capacity or the will.

 

[odyseus]

I'm having episodes now and i still maintain it takes little to make me happy and I'm becoming like my sister i mean her state and like em and miranda and others. i get it

it's not even stress.
close but a better word is load
emotional labor cognitive labor too much too little given back multiple forms- the last being here a group of 4 girls behind me at a table doing a lot of talking. at first it was nice i enjoyed it actually but after a few hours it got old even with my headphones and they are analytical dominant. women are the judges here and the dominant and that's not good or bad but it is what it is. erica- rip i should have maybe tried harder she tall Erica said she didn't want to be a girlboss

i am- understand me yes I'm trying to escape but while here I'm trying to push through. non collapse my body, use my thinking mind but I'm not atlas but what are my options, so I've been spasming, buckling while walking etc to throw off tension. i can control it but i don't often want to

people here are so fucking docile. its kinda like the guy who goes postal and then after everyone else just takes a sip and goes back to work. and st paul is better, much better- better streets, better vibe better energy but not perfect but the vibe is not bad here. i don't belong here. i belong in a country house with 4 kids. i belong in Europe. i belong elsewhere but I'm here

I'm reading the Mahabharata incidentally. why not. and some vector calc - we take it slow. got a lot of other books if need be. it won't change my life but this can be grounding. i don't know. i don't belong here but I'm semi caged and agitated in the cage. the culture is the prison system. i imagine the authority figures are a product of the same culture

i saw some young boys earlier here. its a Weird Mix because in some ways this place is 40 years behind, kids are still kids people still trust the news and their doctor but on the other hand its super female dominant

i remember at a texas steakhouse in Austin the greeter was a 30ish blonde. i just remember her being so cheerful and grounded and all. attractive indeed but a good different energy you'll NEVER see here. you get either karen energy or people trying to weaponize their looks

its just exhausting

i have episodes now because i do what i can but its limited

its like a war, for my spine, my soul, my sanity, my interpretation of the world, my identity. they want to split me, install certainties. i guess Germany, the gov said its men can't leave the country

Saying 56: The World is a Corpse

Jesus said, "Whoever has known the world has found a corpse. Whoever has found a corpse, of them the world isn't worthy."

why did i stay here? through my life i have had dreams of nice communal places

much agitation
its a war- it wants to swallow me

Saying 7: The Lion and the Human

Jesus said, "Blessed is the lion that's eaten by a human and then becomes human, but how awful for the human who's eaten by a lion, and the lion becomes human."

i want my tailbone out, detached, divorced

in but not of, and then not in
its a machine
i don't belong here. its identity torture. i didn't know it. i tried to grind. now i know it. i see some friends, young church ones enthusiastically grinding - some pretty hard

the Protestant ethic weirdly says make money, and then don't enjoy it

every day and every second I'm just thinking if i can be bigger than the frame and still set to leave at least find peace while here

but it always seems like it tries to come above me (noise insults) or below me (demands - for work or real estate- and then resistance to fulfillment and so i keep getting thrown. sins of the fathers I'm paying for. i have not yielded my spirit. in the words of the Mafia i have not snitched. i have not broken

and hot HOT French girls just talk to me- in Ljubljana and austin. they were actually doen to earth and giulia from years ago. the opposite of what you'd expect because glamorous. its NOT me and it never was

im in a war economy

Saying 60: Don't Become a Corpse

They saw a Samaritan carrying a lamb to Judea. He said to his disciples, "What do you think he's going to do with that lamb?"

They said to him, "He's going to kill it and eat it."

He said to them, "While it's living, he won't eat it, but only after he kills it and it becomes a corpse."

They said, "He can't do it any other way."

He said to them, "You, too, look for a resting place, so that you won't become a corpse and be eaten."

i never asked the world to be fair - just not a twisted funhouse that steals decades and tries to collapse ones spirit

i never played the victim

old joke- why do they circumcise baby boys? because if they try on grown men they'll get a black eye. i never played the victim. sins of the fathers- one with a lot of money i might add who didn't himself earn it i might also add. i want it- it would help, now or later but not with strings. then I'd rather have nothing but its already done its toxic work- that's why i bring it up, in the form of his smug entitled attitude, his likdsey graham softness. in many ways

epictetus talks about reason. I'm trying HARD to make sense of things, where i am, where i am headed. i am trying hard to make things intelligible and so. i feel it the load in my upper neck a lot. i do what i can. I'm meeting an old female friend for drinks wed- nothing romantic. she's a realist - high earning chinese American and a realist but a good person too deep down

I'm doing what i can to connect. called both of my cousins and they like me and sharing but nobody has fucking time for me lol - cause i don't have force to compell.. everything requires force you know, now. this as i said above is unnatural living, alone in a multifamily, where you don't eveh get the silence of aloneness, disconnected from land, working with pixels no family this is not normal natural no wonder i stress, i buckle

AND the bathing- tapered off a bit but the warm water releases old things too i think and my spirit starts emerging, getting reborn and it is always particularly painful to get smacked back down when that's happening - which is what happens. "you are not your own" they say. fucking Christianity says you are not your own you were bought for a price. that's the model they use. and for desire- cut out your eye lol. the Mahabharata makes it ok. kama i guess is the word. we westerners - this is the architecture. Erasmus was open minded. luther said our religion is based on assertions - in response to erasmus saying not to just assert things. there you have it at least he, Luther, is being honest but no you can't just fucking assert things or at least force your beliefs or assertions on others but that's the western tradition since the first century

i like holy lust. monks and priests in different IE traditions could marry and love

too much
too much in the head
too much load, too much to unpack

so hard to open here around this without fatigue and loss of sanity

need some ecstasy - the original meaning, being outside oneself

 

[odyseus]

i get to be grounded, and learn things the hard way, which means really learn them. books don't teach- well not manuels. history books maybe- napoleon read a lot, Caesar and Alexander too probably but being grounded- ie scraping the bottom - should be her bottom, their bottoms up- but thats the way to learn, and one learns many things, the hard way. some sadly only move through fear and force. much of reality is appearance, how things appear, not how they are. the system overloads us- it has for life, since the school days when we had math exams or homework and standardized tests. that overloads, which breaks continuity of thought and it is also irrelevant and makes one be a dancing monkey but the load only increases. neural load. all things are locally optimized, but not for you. theres no global optimization for thriving in culture, for flourishing

but its ok. don't chase because you don't have to. the world will come to you, and problems. out frame them. that means no bodily agitation. absorb it all.

load- so much load

this system even if i win locally by their standards, money standards im losing badly by mine. just a taste and I'm sent- a taste of tatiana, of georgia. you'll never have the experience with that english girl like i had in austin here or anything like it. there are different things sure but nothing like that and that was only one thing. even winning is not winning. the system lacks and then it conditionalizes and then it insults and loads, uses and drafts

I'm not a pessimist but we have to get through the dark before... the draft, it doesn't matter if we're drafted to fight the iranians or the europeans to fight the russians or not-- two very stupid wars - i quite like them both but we're all already drafted in so many ways by so many means.

force and systems and coordination and - i have a gestalt of it even if i don't have the words yet. force is transmitted, will too and oh and btw i don't think people know themselves nearly as well as they think and they know many things that aren't so. nor do they know others and society and life because i had a moment of clarity. humans are easy to lead and push and our thoughts are not our own and we don't have good attention spans and we are weak. its almost like gods drive us. and i feel falling apart, entropy closing in on me.

 

[odyseus]

I see what's happening and I see what I'm doing in modern technical neurological lingo.

willpower is defined according to chat as using the frontal cortex to do what lower energy systems normally should or could do. that makes so much sense. that was work chat too.

What I'm doing in everyday life in work and out of work is to minimize the need for my prefrontal cortex setting up systems that work and refusing to let it capture me and pull me because I feel like a demand is too big for the frontal cortex and even if I could do it to get by I lose the wholeness I lose value it's not a good value proposition for me it's the system capture it's the system bad deal so I fight that, i stay embodied or a fight to do so and be in the floor but the world is becoming increasingly complex and I'm fighting that and I value eros also and this contradicts the modern world especially the Protestant Midwest but the modern world in general and that's kind of what's been going on it's trying to take the load off my prefrontal cortex which is too overloaded not just in me but in many who are also suffering That's kind of what's happening

and why? because the system is not set up for human flourishing. that is not even a parameter

we're feeling weight

i resist and reject that

but the system opposes my resistance, my rejection

viva la resistance lol

but blessed is the human who eats the lion. the path is what it is

schopenhauer and everyone were/are under the same general world system but set things up where willpower doesn't matter but technical society and capital and much else wills dominion. find new dimensions of escape

chess is a game of force over geometry

i quit a few years ago bc it got me heated (i was never that good, and even low score people on chess dot com are fucking good) but now I'm back at it. i played too many bullet games

now i slow down, see the geometry, i still blunder once in a while and lose it. i want to solve this, the blunder problem once and for all

but i get excited when i play slow and something is happening. my heart races. it is important to do this and do it right

this changes my mind. i must evolve through this in brief

its better than scrolling and i can listen to some geopolitical cast in the background

it is force over geometry. life is brutal and punishing and the man is fooled into thinking he has capacity, and then he hates and blames himself-- and yet he sees lesser men with a lot

this is not about hate or anger but about clear open eyes

life is brutal and presses in. entropy presses. things attack and they encircle and enclose and conditionalize and i am paranoid about this and thats the best way to be. every smile here is fake until proven otherwise, every good faith dependency is unreliable or weak until proven otherwise etc

i underestimated my enemies in chess and their intelligence. i guess i had implicit hubris. that was part of it. the other was not giving myself enough time to see the board- either in bullet chess or rapid or in forcing myself to move quick anyway. now i play 30 min games mostly

but prefontal load is willpower and the world asks so much more of this from us for even basic things and people do different things to cope- mindless scrolling later, multitasking etc but i am interested in systems and sustainable solutions and flourishing and thriving and pleasure and eros and good living. i am greedy for life

i don't know if I'm fucked going forward but I've been fucked, much so much so much so much

this place is the inversion kingdom

i didn't choose to meditate tonight. i don't practice meditation but it was forced on me

I'm the victim of collective forces

we all kind of are but it forces me like tonight into the path of sage. so much noise so much overconfidence, so much what to me is display of social dominance but i could be reading it wrong

argh btw right now my phone is harassing me trying to exert dominance. it's told me like 20 fucking times today it's ready for an update I don't give a fuck about your stupid fucking update Jesus fucking Christ don't try to force it and if you're going to do it like tonight don't fucking tell me about it every fucking hour Jesus Christ leave me the fuck alone I can't even fucking do anything without interruption Jesus fucking Christ it's 12:20 a.m. by the way I walk back really slow from the place. God damn it it's so hard to have continuity of fucking thought these days what the fuck what the fuck anyway it forces me in the role of sage I got stood up earlier for my friend fucking no one calls me no one invites me to fucking go no one says hey how are you doing no one any of that shit fucking but I plan things and they agree to them and they're like fuck all fuck all this doesn't happen in other places I know it doesn't this is very here and I fucking hate this place and I fucking hate their attitudes sometimes you'll be walking by someone and they'll notice you from their eye and then they'll just shoot their eyes straight forward That's what they do fuck you I'm going to yell in their ear high every time they do that now or I should cuz they're so fucking stupid so stupid they're the type of people to not want to build any relationship with you which is fine but then the minute you don't do something they don't like or that gives them anxiety they're going to fucking go over and try to control you it's like bro first build a relationship before you try to influence me like fucking hell that's the type of people they are here

but my state changed after that fucking update interruption again it's like Jesus Christ leave me the fuck alone They don't let you to turn off the updates they don't let you fucking turn off the notifications for the updates Go to hell you fucking thing I want to smash this fucking phone. The fact it's required is a kind of slavery this is another kind of force everything is force every goddamn thing is fucking force God damn it like the people today everyone's trying to force it's like back the fuck off God damn it There's no dignity anymore either fucking no fucking sacred space Jesus fucking Christ

All they want to do is fucking drain you the fuck down that's what the whole system is conspiring to do trying to do is fucking drain a person fuck them fuck all that shit

then when I'm thinking about this I'm not thinking about what I was before which is how they kill your continuity of thought they kill any progress of linear thought everything goes in a circle doesn't it fucking circle jerk that's what they want that's their design to keep us in a loop a mental loop. I was not born fucking loop I was born to be progressive in my thought. That's a technical word that I made up meaning thought moves from somewhere to somewhere else and there's certain thoughts that can loop that are good to loop That's what they tried to fuck these fucking systems fuck them you got to eat them you got a metabolize them completely show them no quarter once you see them you can't unsee them And they will disturb you and then you will rule over all

I reject the rewards because they're rewards are what they used to try to keep you attached fuck that why is the system so totalizing That's what makes me think that the demiurge is real nobody could have admitted such a fucking totalizing system But it could also be capital. We used to be pious I think that's what professor Jiang was saying Tonight and it's interesting he quoted John Locke in the clicked for me because I was just getting into John Locke this last year realizing I need to learn something about him. people used to be pious they didn't used to chase money for everything They cared about it and they cared about status but not nearly so much about money as they do now could be capital It could be the demiurge or it could be the demiurge using capital But there's a thing that wants to totalize and colonize. never seems to fucking quit never seems to give you relaxation you got to steal your rest oh my God My nervous system's fried

A lot of my plans were canceled in the day was wasted days are wasted whole days are wasted oh everything's just a waste I have no life I don't know how I got here fucking crazy oh yeah I was meant the cockroach king now because there's a fucking cockroach in the unit and now I'm fucking responsible for that am I supposed to be morally responsible What the fuck Am I supposed to feel guilty now I have to worry if they don't want to stay there that's a lot of money to lose on this already losing property take this fucking property off my hands how am I supposed to feel about this What am I supposed to do That's just one of the like 20 things that's happened with this one property this last year that nothing else that happened and no other properties it's one of a kind it's truly one of a fucking kind it's represents everything that Minnesota represents and it anchors me here What the motherfuck I want to be clear I realized the blame function the blame function here let me tell you something I learned about the blame function earlier We got to assign blame to things appropriately to get ahead in life and now I'm bringing out another lesson on it and that is that in general when you're going through a tough time to blame function can behave interesting you can blame yourself and hate yourself conforming to the pressures the inductive pressures that's what the system wants you can blame the wrong thing blame other people but you do not blame yourself you must not blame yourself I like myself it's been the environment blame the environment blame the system you got to figure out what to blame but it's not the self and never was the self how can it be how can it be when you've done so much fight so much It wants you to hate yourself and they hate you people hate you these women probably the ugly women out there that are loud they probably hate me they're probably happy I don't have kids They probably hate men maybe they don't they pay free spirits that's possible I don't know if that's true it might not be true but it's possible that a lot of people feel that way full of hate and Glee and whether it's because they were told by their professors that the patriarchy existed or whatever the reason maybe they were abused maybe they just get a power trip There's people that hate and violence is in the world. I'm reading the book rise and kill first. That's all about violence and there's so many other forms of violence and but we're told we're supposed to turn the other cheek and n be bigger men but this is not at all what people were like historically. Men were expected to be comfortable with violence but now we're uncomfortable with it with the idea of it What the fuck we watch it in movies and ways that are so fake everything about movies is fake except for a few good ones like scent of a woman that cut through half of my struggles 4/5 of my struggles wouldn't happen I know it wouldn't if I was in a different place same person different place I know it's all about the place it's a crazy place here it's a psychological prison that's nothing new I've said this a million times fucking cockroaches they got to deal with it's not a big deal but it's like how am I supposed to feel I got to manage 10 and expectations this property already loses me money a little bit What the fuck people flake none of my friends none of my family calls or or answers or calls back even though they're proud of me or they whatever they like me they're all friendly but they never follow through it's hard to get someone fucking present even not even across the line with the deal or something but even to the line it's like fuck why does nothing fucking happen What the fuck is wrong with people I'm doing the work of fucking well I'm doing the work of just like one or two people from the '60s or something '50s but I'm doing like the work of 20 idiots here They don't do jack shit with themelves like my tenants of the properties I got in the last few years. Man when I got these properties and Minneapolis in the last few years Man the quality of tenants just went way down but it's fine actually straight out of four of them are money makers it's just this one piece of shit but still man the quality of tenants are fucked. they're fucked nothing to do with attitude or anything politics They just fucking can't even lift their fucking fingers it seems like they're so helpless at any age it's like what the fuck I don't care what your politics all your fucking fucked Jesus fucking I'm worth like 20 them on the field it's like Jesus fucking Christ I don't want that to be the case I want to be in a place where I'm the worst where I'm the dumbest wouldn't that be amazing imagine going to a place where you're the dumbest to everyone else is so much smarter than you and they all care about you and they all want to support you because they feel guilty or whatever they feel it's their duty Can you just imagine what it would be like to be in that situation. That's probably what it's like for a lot of people here it's like fuck dude David D'Angelo asked us once in the CDs long long ago to imagine really imagine what it's like to be an attractive woman well whatever I don't know that we can really do that in he made it seem like oh she had it so rough and maybe in some way she does I get what he was doing and that's why I did the exercise but like you know like fuck dude There's a lot of things we could try imagine try imagining being the dumbest person in the society where everyone wants you to succeed it's like holy fuck imagine that imagine how much support you'd fucking get Jesus fucking Christ and then they hate their own people and they hate themselves but they're helping you it's like what the fuck is this fucking crazy ass shit who programmed this fucking modern world it's such a fucking crazy world Jesus fucking Christ They want me to collapse and be part of the system That's what the system wants All it does every day is try to induce behavior tries to induct tries to break just like one of those fish in the ocean or whatever tries to smash the crab with the shrimp tries to smash the shell so that it can consume It tries to smash my shell you know my aura my protection What the fuck

My own father and mother were the worst they're part of this fucking shit and you can't turn to him even today he's only part of the problem everything is a fucking matrix but I've seen it for so long but now I've seen more clearly and the local force behind it and how I can do things to recover a little bit but like seeing is not being free I don't have the force it takes. shark and bad boy they are like just see the matrix and you'll get it or maybe they weren't like that But I think I was thinking everybody every successful person and you know pick up artist I never worshiped them I liked people who were naturally good much better all else equal They were more normal but anyway everyone even them everyone they don't know the difference of place you know you grew up in a place that's balanced with women who are actually women it's going to be way different You're not going to have any fucking clue what someone else is dealing with You're going to over generalize just like people here over generalize it's all about place it's all about a fucking place place is everything. everything else is just window dressing or secondary to place that I didn't know that and none of the guys know that even if they travel a lot it's all hype unless they stay here and I think there's a lot of hate in a lot of people and I don't know what to do about it I don't know all that should do the system tries to crash me out but you know what It hasn't done that but it has run me ashore you know I'm ashore. what's the point of thinking about this anymore right now I don't have learned helplessness I have enforced helplessness find the distortion? That's the thing right CBT it's all about distortion but some shit is real Where's the distortion that I can fix not everything can be fixed by reframing shit at least in the short run maybe the problem is I'm thinking only but the short run I know that's what I'm doing but in the short run I fuck for sure I just don't know if I'm fucked in the long run That's the only fucking thing and when you're suffering when people fuck you specific people and you can't do anything about it you take notes and then later maybe you can pay them back recompense As they deserve but maybe that'll never happen I don't like fantasy for this reason I hate fantasy I fucking hate fantasy so fucking much it's the worst fucking thing but in theory theoretically yeah you pay them back when you come to power but what can you do as long as you don't fantasize that's the worst thing you can do fantasizing about having power or whatever do not do that do not do that do not do that do not do that

i realized something on the fatigue journey

I'm sitting outside on a bench on a sunny spring morning before meeting or between meetings. meso-meetings. i was just reading about iraq history- between the wars ww1 ww2 and also the saddam execution

anyway to be between things - between rivers, wars, meetings

but no that's not what..

there's been the normal load of frustration agitation since wakening

i wanna reinforce my thoughts last night - self blame -- it is where people go often, in pain but its wrong. self attack rather. you know what I'm talking about but its from lack of capacity, support, from system enclosure and withholding

what I wanted to share is a phone linking concept

too much information is a problem, especially under load. i can't fine grain certain notifications. i don't care to know about every little fucking channel

so i go to disable all notifications in teams and so I'm looking for the app so i do the requisite swipes to access it to press the i for information

i click the bottom search bar and it says suggested apps

that word suggested

years ago i realized a power of suggestion. before smart phones

humans can be suggestive to other humans.

its a subtle art but i think the capitalist corporatist big tech companies have maybe colonized this space, used up all the human bandwidth in a lot of people, the oxygen. I'm still working out what I mean but what I think I mean is it's harder to be suggestive to some people with ideas because the algorithms and the phones are already over suggesting everything they're already burned out or used up

to say nothing of the creepiness or even the hand holding of systems that are always suggesting every little thing to us like can I do something for my goddamn self. it's not about finding the app it's about the general encroachment Even in suggestion space because I remember years ago understanding the power of just throwing out suggestions at the right time and place but it seems like system doesn't have capacity for that

another thing is I click the microphone so I can transcribe my voice The music turns off which I use as a shield from the outside noise and I hear a bunch of cars and horns little horns quickly but I realized a week ago both a horn and the revving of an engine or driving loudly both represent either to the human ear to the human nervous system either an animal a beast roaring like a roaring lion or else a warrior in battle a berserker whatever and those are designed to seem big and dominant if not threatening

I know I'm right about almost everything I've said through this whole 20 pages of posts I'm correct and I'm trying to live and it would be a lot easier in another place it would be a lot easier with just a few key changes selling this shit property shit for me not shit in general actually necessarily those little things would make a huge difference the 20% that's causing 80% of the problems and I realize also I've had failure to generalize problems. people talk about overgeneralization but there's some fucking things that I failed to generalize and I keep making the same mistake it's like recognize a fucking pattern you fucking moron self that's not self blame like I talked about before that's the self blame I was talking about before is like real self-attack that really hurts the self breaks it down so anyway that's interesting this is all interesting There's just so much friction so much load but it's also just kind of so much mismatch because people seem to be doing okay here a lot of people huge subset of the people so you could say it's largely a mismatch but an epic mismatch and I also think Minnesota just as much if not more than New York is part of the base of the problem of the United States and the world. We fight every country we overthrow everyone and I'm starting to question how bad Saddam actually was I have to actually look into him more because who knows who knows anything it's probably gray dark gray maybe but still gray cuz I heard he was executed with dignity I mean he held dignity not the executors who were clowns That's all from this book I was reading on Babylon history that's why I went on this detour and I started reading it cuz I was stressed and I needed something completely different from the stress this morning that I was going through but I thought that Minnesota is just as much of the base as maybe New York whatever maybe less cuz New York has all types of people this is the rural or heartland base, it's foundations but New York elected mamdani. I don't know how is domestic policies would be I don't even care I don't think that much about it but just the fact that he has his views on foreign policy and the fact that that can happen America is bad in so many ways in Minnesota is largely a heart of it I really think that

I'm reminded again and again daily day after day not just cuz of my suffering because of what I've seen throughout history the more I learn Middle East between the wars etc not just me at all Palestine whole bunch of places I'm realizing more and more atrocities everywhere that the world is a corpse just like Gnostic Jesus said it's a fucking corpse and those who realize it It is not worthy of they're better than it

this will link everything that's happening together. I have a model for describing what's going on that's really fucking good and that's going to be more and more relevant as the years continue I'm afraid.

there are different degrees of support that systems can provide. They can provide it and they can also pull back. We can grade them according to really supportive, neutral or properly supportive, and unsupportive when they should be or else negative support or resistive

We can also divide the realms into three. dating and matchmaking getting together, general social wellness and social support and community, And lastly work

this is saying nothing about actual load or duty just the level of support for what your duty is at or your objective function

when you get support things go well you can not have to use your prefrontal cortex so much you can rest on your subconscious mind and natural normal assumptions

when that doesn't exist you have to use your prefrontal mind for everything and in any impulse you do any move you make that's natural and make sense based on normal assumptions but where those assumptions no longer apply you'll get stung. your action will backfire

using the prefrontal cortex is metabolically expensive and draining and emotionally exhausting it's like emotional labor. that is one of the meanings I mean with by force you have to use so much force so much mental force

I don't know if this is a social trend but it seems like there's absolutely no support in matchmaking or dating there's negative support here, There's no real connection connectivity community even eye contact in social life Friends don't return my call ever like it's like holy fuck it's gotten so bad and then fucking work see I complain a lot it's cuz I'm having to do so much emotional labor i just downloaded this new tool dBeaver which is for database work which I used before a couple years ago and it was fine dude you can't even fucking do anything basic you can't even select multiple lines or it doesn't highlight them it's like a bug and it has all these other gotchas every little thing is like so resistive at a low level that you can't even do natural clicks without it having side effects that you're not planning on. everything else is "smart" and I hate smart shit. it's too smart for its own good or too smart for my good I don't want to see smart tools I want to see stupid tools that do what I tell them to.

this place has let me down and the internet lets you down increasingly but this city is really let me down my friends have let me down I've realized this is the fact. I don't even have high expectations I never did I always thought I was humble I always thought I had simple expectations But I am sorely let down

It feels like a "fun" house it feels like everything is inverted. I am trying to center myself integrate become undivided taking warm baths recentering but as I do that doesn't mean I'm becoming stupid again I'm becoming relaxed but with eyes to see and holy shit I am seeing how much force the system the geography the geometry applies on you making you use your conscious mind for every little thing that used to be automatic it's like holy fucking shit it's like fucking draining it's like that's what I mean by having to use force at every level that I talked about dating normal human relationships and work not to mention my fucking real estate but that's not that bad except for one property and I enjoy it I did enjoy it this is what causes burnout it's the little things this is exactly what I mean the little things not being able to rely on natural assumptions or natural support everything every fucking mouse click fucking using a USBC wired mouse They fucking smart negotiate power so that for some reason it dies every once in a while and I have to unplug it that's a very little thing but it's an example it's like so many fucking shitty ass things that were never a problem before or now such a big fucking deal not to mention friends don't calling you back and you know that you're on good terms with them or they say they'll call back and they don't it's not even that I need them it's just that irritation of it all or the bank saying I have all this equity and I'm auto approved And my numbers are super good but they put me on what I call austerity a 12-month probation for the refinance of the HELOC it's like Jesus Christ you did not to fucking promise me to begin with it's like fucking god damn it and then the people yesterday in the cafe I realized at night two middle-aged ladies laughing so long so loud overwhelming the mood in the ability to study I realized they had a lot of people don't have any humility. I've always had humility. They don't have humility this fucking place people don't even have basic humility anymore They have pride they have self-assurance they have self entitlement even if they're not loud. at least the loud ones are advertising so I know who they are it's the quiet smile ironically pseudo friends and I'm not talking about the friends you don't call back They are real friends and family They just fucking don't fucking call back cuz they're undependable but also you got pseudo friends that pretend they're your friends And again it comes back to force it's not that I'm stupid like I don't expect something from nothing but I think I'm going to tell you a guy I think I'm a good loyal friend I think I'm smart and I have things to offer I've offered them things I've supported them They don't return the fucking favor this is the fucking world I mean and I swear to God I'm in the fucking Al Pacino godfather one era where he is weak but he is taking names just before he starts slashing and getting his vengeance on those who let him down that's what I feel like that's where I feel I'm at to a large extent The banks people everyone

your situation is different but the basics are still true. The model is a good one The demanded use of the prefrontal cortex and when in the past you could rely on the subconscious cuz you had support from people you had support from your tools and it's taking over everything or at least that's what it feels like in my life it's like you can't even fucking go to the fucking store without running into a fucking obstacle I don't know what the fuck is happening I know there's a nudge economy a nudge society and I even bought a book about that and they even glamorize it I don't know if the book I bought glamorizes it but they say it's a way for people to have freedom but still to get what you want but that's not true if the people who are nudging still have an iron fist inside that Velvet glove then that's just ironic bullshit but if they don't then you have freedom at the same time they get what they want but the point is I know there's a nudge economy but there's also just a fucking disorder economy break down of dependencies breakdown of social bonds break down of everything it's like what the fuck and it's worse in Minnesota but I'm sure it's getting worse everywhere but it's always been a shitty here I think and you get the anti-humility the American anti-humility and they're also fucking loud here they're a bunch of loud assholes here more than other places I think. They think they have to be loud briefly. And I'm trying to not be eaten by this lion and you know this frame I'm trying to metabolize it And I'm just waiting for someone to make me an offer and get this house off my books and I'm trying to get through every day's work and oh yeah there's open loops sometimes lack of closure and you know it's just such bullshit I'm living in a multifamily that I own I don't even have my own totally free space I used to I used to have surplus cash available to draw from and my own house space I've gone downhill lifestyle wise thinking I was going uphill financially and maybe I am financially I didn't realize what I was getting into I didn't realize I was buying low income properties and I didn't realize that changed the nature of the people I just thought it was giving you a good financial deal and I was pretty much at least for two of the three but I didn't realize all this shit. I didn't realize it would drive me fucking crazy so I'm getting an exit here I'm looking for an exit I deserve an exit I will have an exit I will have my exit and I will have my sanity and if possible I will have my vengeance and I will have my brain restored because they just load it and depleted without even any humility and that's why I say I'm used and that's why I use the word force and that's why I talk about all these different things as if they're the same because this is a place to learn how to get girls and I'm talking about all this other stuff this is the thing that links everything together now it's the lack of support so you have to use your willpower for every goddamn little fucking thing your willpower being your prefrontal cortex overrides

But I'm resting when I can I'm recovering when I can I'm metabolizing as much as I can I'm learning everyday but the shit keeps coming at me it's like an unrelenting stream of shit just funneled right at me and other good shit just funneled away from me. Tell me that's not how it is Tell me I just need to be more positive Tell me the problem is me when Austin Texas was good to me other places were good to me other times we're good to me when I didn't have these fucking systems in my life environments in my life I am trying to metabolize it all chest open eyes open Jesus fucking Christ hearing people stomp next door Jesus fucking Christ people think they are dominance here. It could be that they're unconscious but I look at it and they don't veto it out. given that people are loud in public especially loud here given that women in public even on attractive ones are especially dominant with the way they speak in groups in the middle of coffee shops given that nobody apologizes given that nobody looks you in the eye give it all that it seems like dominance plays to me It seems like they want to be dominant. It seems like they're passive aggressiveness is a form of domination. It seems like my problems are not valued enough not even basically forget that I have extra value extra special value forget that I'm special They don't even give me what I'm due, What I've earned- earned respect earned rent earned belief earned trust earned confirmation earned anything this is dominance this is them trying to put me in my place and not just me but other guys like me and not just guys but other women like me this is prejudice against a type. I know this is true and I know there's not that much I can do about it except try to metabolize it get rid of the anchor property that's holding me down try to get out of the short-term financing with the Heloc over the next year even though it's collateralized and cash flowing. it's still a bond as I've seen this year it's still a tie, a cord. get to a place where people see me see you see your value support you at a basic level and imagine women get tons of support here I'm not battle of the sexes But I do think that maybe if they want careers if they want whatever maybe even if they want a family they get the support extra top of that's being withheld from me maybe and I'm not even asking for privilege I'm just asking for basic honor and you know what this is how support or lack of it lack of transparency what you see what you get even technically it forces the brain to go into overdrive and micromanage every little finger move every little keystroke every little goddamn fucking thing There's things I try to hijack your attention spam fucking pop-ups fucking people backing out

so farewell streets of sorrow so farewell streets of shame. now it's time for me to rest And if more abuse comes my way just take the abuse in the state of rest. I do get refreshed I do get up again and just when I think I'm out they pull me back down it's the fucking truth. I didn't sign up to be part of stupid ass cycles or behold any fucking corporation or career I didn't sign up for that knowingly not consciously and I'm trying to slash my way an exit And violence makes the world the way it is look at the State department look at other groups that definitely use violence. We are all the victim of violence as we're told to turn the other cheek and they didn't sign up for that

 

[odyseus]

Don't give me wrong I never set out to be a hero but I'm listening to Mariah Carey's here right now because man this fucking night this fucking day this fucking week this fucking month this fucking year this fucking decade this fucking life I'll spare you the details but God damn it I'm sinking into hell at least that's how it feels emotionally. I'm looking for that promised transformation and that metabolisis where a metabolize all this shit in my bones, The sick frames of a manipulative world

I send out some paper tonight at 3:00 in the morning well no I drafted it and sealed it and envelopes because I couldn't sleep until I did that and it's going to go out and it's going to cancel people's leases in 2 months that should have been done a long time ago maybe I don't know But we live in a paper world a paper kingdom. That's how bonds form and are dissolved. I should do kind of bond analysis kind of way of thinking

anyway I was thinking this place might be the place of the anti-hero. The anti-hero maybe gets the most love here and I'm not saying that the cheesy selfless hero should get everything. I am a fan of game of thrones after all but the anti-hero should get nothing especially if he's lame and he just plays with the system he doesn't even try to manipulate it from above like a man like little finger They just fucking plop themselves down. What kind of species does this place produce Minnesota? yeah I'm exhausted. I might post a pic and a news article later

i want to feel like a hero at least if I have to act like one all the time - And I do and you got to use so much farce these days and it's mostly one fucking property one fucking insult factory that's the main source of my bond a single source of multiple bonds but anyway What can you do? I feel like this world this place runs on fatiguing of people and I have to get unfatigued which I knew about but it just keeps bearing down you know it wants to capture your spirit and that's the last thing I want ever to happen

 

[odyseus]

looking back everybody has strengths and weaknesses and I think a lot of success is just being in the right environment where your strengths are used in your weaknesses are mitigated. One of my greatest weaknesses is to not see that certain systems are bad right at the front and just not enter them here instead I enter them for years and I try to make it work I try to be creative resource of flexible fluid but they don't work because they're not designed to work for people like me But then I kind of think not completely but kind of maybe think what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and that's also kind of true so there you go there fuck my life up. I was never trying to take the easy way but I should have taken the rewarding way and they took the rocky way because it didn't have eyes to see



My second mistake related is that I don't see the power of appearances. I always look at the fundamentals the infrastructure What appearances are what moves the world including me I noticed that they move me too. I just try to look deeper but appearances still control the way I look at things and I have a certain appearance and other people recognize me for who I am and see my value when I'm in different places like Europe or Austin or California



on side note I hate living in a multifamily sharing doorways and stuff. historically people lived together. here you get the worst of all worlds you don't really get connection connectivity you don't get fellowship friendship You're not working on the same goals hunting the same mammoth plowing the same field. you don't even get to talk to them regularly but you have to hear their noises and you can't control those noises and it's not good it's not healthy it's the worst of all worlds in my own home where I'm supposed to recover from the world



And heaven forbid I feel like I have to tiptoe in my own house. In my own home what I pay a huge mortgage for what I manage for other people I want to kick the face in this fucking city. every side makes it worse like I can sustain some of this I know a 20/80 rule but There's no domain where I'm really winning except maybe Kundalini I'm getting deeper in my spine I'm seeing how they torture and torment my very base the muladhara, how every system is designed to throw that off to destabilize. I'm not winning though in any other respect I have to push through push through push through push through push through push through and get the fuck out of this shit face fuck hole and the shit living situation. again I go back to the beginning I didn't see that it was a shit system. other people would have seen it right away why didn't I see it right away? maybe I don't know because I was a kid and other people were learning more in high school about being social and I was slower because my parents were fucktards and so maybe that delayed me but I was never stupid but when I'm in Europe or drinking with people on the pub crawl or in a whole bunch of situations I can be really social I'm present The problem is not me and people I can connect with people I just don't connect with idiots I guess I don't know I'm exhausted I'm fatigued I don't know what the fuck



there it is, it clawed me back. I was joking I can't get out of the house every time I try go something pulls me back in I'm not ready I'm not fresh to go out cuz I don't really have anywhere to go anyway. anytime I feel psychologically wounded in the last couple days I want to take a warm bath and always it hits always something hits and I can feel it I can feel it there coming into relief And since I don't have anywhere to go anything to do I was just going to go out in public and read or something but I joke that I can't get out of this orbit In fact I'm going deeper into hell.. Hit me yesterday night. I had a moment of calm and it was like you're going deeper now into hell cuz the first hell thought was when I was floating in saltwater months ago before I knew it with the power of warm baths I thought it was about the silence anyway this feeling of hell came over me and I didn't resist it because it felt wrong to resist it. well yesterday I had the thought that there's more. There's more coming. It wasn't the same feeling where I was keeping my mind but it's the same concept there's I don't have any space for anything I don't have space I don't have space to think really I could go on a vacation for the weekend like I do but I have to drive 6 hours there 6 hours back it's worth it but only when there's time my business is call me but I want to solve this thing once and for all sell this fucking property but everything is a clawback more often than it's not. everything's a take back more often than not. I'm not going to fool myself. if there's one thing I want to be it's rational and honest with myself not deceiving myself not lying to myself and I don't want to resist every force cuz I can't. I have to pick and choose the forces I resist and if they push me back in the bath I don't know What am I supposed to do What the fuck am I supposed to do

here's an image from a local newspaper. you can read the article if you want. What their suggesting is crazy no doubt about it but I don't even care about it. I want to draw your attention to two things. I noticed before I even saw this article that this is the look of the average Minnesota guy or Minneapolis guy at least. for some reason it's a common look and second the thing that irritates me the most is that he doesn't have an expression on his face yet he's holding this sign out like a righteous prophet. he acts like he's a righteous whatever victim dominator or whatever He's acts like a victim who's using force or a Justice warrior. I would respect him more if he had a face of anger you know or if he was weak but it's a special kind of species here. this is the commonality. why can't people just be humble and down to earth like what's in it for them

What I'm afraid happening if I can put words to it is chain reaction I guess. I enter a spiral I guess. I did work to build things up and I want to contract. I wanted to contract and consolidate before August anyway after I closed on the last one in July. I was done scaling that way but I've never had a good month since then it's like what the fuck and I had mostly good months before that and there are different things different causes it's just so fucking shit but anyway I'm captured and I'm trying to get out I complain about the city but I'm doing what I can to exit. I don't know how to exit and I was thinking the other day that fucking maybe this life is the thing to exit not suicidally but you got to find your exit from this cursed world maybe it's a cursed world I don't know. maybe there are people who are truly winning but that only counts in my mind if they keep winning and the world doesn't claw back because I think a lot of people who look like they're doing well either they're not but that's just an appearance or they are but it's about to hit the fan but I'm interested in the people who are really prospering really flourishing really enjoying life. I don't know that most people are in that boat but maybe.

I'm worried though that this poisons my mind what's going on and I end up overshooting I end up doing things that hurt my future that I've earned that I've deserved. specifically keeping the seven properties and getting good rents from them for the rest of my life maybe or as long as it suits me until there's equity and then which I can sell as one thing and as another bringing a negative attitude to other places i go because of the wrong that this place did. I don't want to be tainted and it feels like it knows that I'm leaving and it wants to taint me it wants to mark me. it's a dangerous lion. it's not to be scoffed at it's dangerous it's evil and it's dangerous and it's consuming. it's not to be underestimated it's not your friend. it's a devouring system.

PS I just have got the book One Nation under blackmail by Whitney Webb a two volume series- which is interesting. I might go read that in public. I like to read ancient history I like to read mathematics and sometimes business stuff although I'm not ready to make a run at anything right now so I'm not going to pretend I'm learning. I hate reading something to pretend I'm learning something. I like what really opens my mind and expands my consciousness and that can be any subject but I can't fake it

I don't know when I can go out. I can't go out until the universe lets me. It keeps pulling me back It keeps drawing me back at least I'm not deployed boots on the ground in Iran you know as a us serviceman or had to storm Normandy for the self appointed masters. I have more freedom than that but you know most freedom is an illusion - by freedom I mean prosperity basically. yeah so I want to destroy the illusions and I'm willing to pay the price to do that -maybe that's what's going on- But what a fucking price it has been

just wanted to share a thought (document sth) - i like to play. people don't seem to do this, get this but to me its natural

example: i had a shit heavy Saturday, was hard to leave the house - nowhere to go really and i kept getting frustrated and loaded. bottom line i just want back and took a long bath. I'm waiting for shit to pass. bonds to dissolve. i felt so much of my tailbone muladhara. that was active and agitated

finally went out for the last few hours

anyway dealing with heavy shit or feels heavy and loopy, trapped. even here there's a table of giant women with loud kids. that's load too but what can you do. the bathing helps with nerve tone but it can only help so much. doing a quiet float tomorrow. sanity critical

anyway my friend from hs messages me says this is my new number delete the old

i say "are you certain" and ask him questions to prove it

i feel people aren't playful

ive always had a playful spirit

i don't think I'm (generally) out of order or over the line but people don't get it. its like dead zone

i just wanted to bring this up

no echo
I'm left holding the bag - usually. my friend gets it but most don't

i don't get why so many don't get it and i think what i do is a sign of life and spirit.

its my instinct to engage. dating writers have written about this but it doesn't work. i don't think I'm off. i think the population is and obviously text is harder than irl but thats crazy and also people born today will be born after AI-- but I'm sure people said people born in the 50s would have always known home telephones or whatever. i guess its progressive and rolling

my brain takes a beating daily and spine.
funnel in the abuse cause i get tastes of being free and i can do almost anything I want - if i only had easy properies and an easy day job- and peter that out with passive income and surplus- so much freedom and harder for the wear

the stress is the hammer smack of forgery and the water is the cooling and hardening maybe. i don't know I don't know metallurgy

ad metalla. nooooo
non ad metalla

life would be easy but don't get sentimental or longing - don't go there

forces, sounds all ALL nudge and bump the person

this is a constrained system hard and heavy random loads and I don't want to take them anymore not because i can't but because they don't serve me. i feel used. i am used

i did get a text from Em
i asked when she worked I said I'd stop by. she actually said its better meet outside her work. okay!! she's dating someone but I'm not pursuing that. shes a high iq hard working load bearing person for her system and she cracked or she buckled rather and had to peace out for a while - surprise surprise. people are either using her or just existing as heavy loads and even I could bear so much more if people just smiled and shower appreciate more but maybe there are things i can do differently still - maybe there's load I don't need to be carrying

its a fight for progress - nay escape from this cycle - one and then one more thing has t happen. its so easy. a sale and a move. i will move out of state but even if just moved to a quieter place, thats all i really need or most need immediately but waiting game dependency game so i take the rests where i can. i am learning to receive the abuse that cant be resisted or fended

learned helplessness is a valid but limited concept. sometimes there's actual structural helplessness. sometimes abuse keeps flowing. if you can't stop it the system sometimes surrenders without submitting in a way. i mean like passive acceptance of what is coming - the noises stressors burdens without internalizing them

thats structural helplessness and the being the body the person has a reaction to it. there's obviously war and such dangers bullets and projectiles flying but theres also psychological stress such as i have. we live in the psychosis age. I'm decoupling as much as possible, seeing it and as i do i also see the punishment doled out for opting out or methods systems have for bringing one back- the clawback or claw i call it or you see tge structure. people be blaming themselves. I'm not saying blame others but they blame themselves because it can't be the world can it? it can, or the local world, the system designed to not foster people or flourishing.

everything is individualized. the industrial transformation and urbanization brought about both money and individualization and that brought about more individual load and new ways of thinking (follow your passion, find your path or calling). money matters too. everyone has a bank account, a set of social media accounts. they are --- linked in

they follow scripts and category system blocks but yeah and money is life but thats a more recent thing i think. yeah cattle was wealth but people didn't transact in it on a day to say basis. buying a bowl of soup lol unless you're esau and have your birthright to give up

but this all anchors to the spine and brain. we are embodied spiritual beings and material reality can be heavy and dangerous too but only a few people know how to engage in play communication whereas i think its the BEST

 

[odyseus]

woke up Sunday. i think my strain-- i can endure it without major incident but i can definitely feel it weakening my immune system in the short run.

gut, fever, i feel neural fatigue like i used to after a day of heavy lifting

i can do this but the most important thing is clarity but clarity is hard because the news is bad- nobody is dependable here- even as a friend or a fellow let alone tenant, partner, provider. cognitive distortion you say? ok fine some and many people are dependable but many aren't and almost no one is in certain domains-- and they have smiling faces. they're like mindless titans. and this is the milieu i lived in for years unconsciously. imagine the difference

also the system here makes you wait wait wait for everything. i am not perfect but I'm a man of action and study and I can't push things forward in many cases - this sale but many many processes of stress- its waiting waiting waiting under duress or tension

i think those things can be largely universal, I'm not stupid but i think its worse here

i would take more stress and pain if i could move things along. ive done things i could do- i drafted some emails, wrote some letters in the ready should the time cone

my hips--- my hips have a will. i learned last year early that the hips store and transmit the will and when they are blocked the will is blocked, hobbled -- and in my mind is the knowledge of people i easily met and talked to in my travels, a whole day with Georgia in Austin - she reminds me of Jane from Tarzan. people i met elsewhere. it is easy mode elsewhere. this thing is a lock here. this situation functions as a lock. i am sure it will pass, sure it will open eventually. i don't want to so anything stupid thats what i always say

fucking individualism

Minnesota is supposed to be "liberal" whatever that means but being progressive left they are not only extremely socially conservative -- but they consider themselves very American, and Patriot. I've gone to commemorative airforce swing dances. i don't care about politics as long as people are friendly but they seem very pro- American empire, which i despise, n9t only because it is bad but they bring that smug attitude to interactions that doesn't allow for dissent. i always try bring orthogonal higher dimensional energy and i have with a smile but is that the way to live long term?

I'm just realizing there's two kinds of leftisms even if everything else is the same, every policy position. there's hate or disidentity with America and there's "this is our tradition" America. they don't relinquish that claim. they are Patriotic, but low key. they don't wave the flag but they are VERY proud about having sent the soldiers, beat the fascists etc and seem to want to continue and expand the American project. i should say its like a combination of left policies and identifying THAT with the American founding principles - edge towards projection and then weirdly conservatively being 20 or 10 years behind in terms of where they get their news- they trust the mainstream, they haven't updated their models of things since the world gets new information. they are stodgy, like a grandpa with dial up Internet. i overheard people on the north shore having a discussion about people and things. it was so stereotyped like old propaganda, what you'd here 40 years ago and it fits

its an interesting combination - the guys here are pugilists - they'll fight with spirit fir what they believe and they are loud drunks yet they are docile in social life and super feminists, in practice more than speech. they'll push the women forward and upward and most women are crushing it being highly supported. a few men and women are suffering and buckling who don't fit temperamentally but they don't understand the system. they blame themselves or think its just the way things are. they don't travel much here. those who do or have see the world differently. its provincial i guess you'd say but it's interesting it has a lot of industry here and a broad economy although probably increasingly a service economy

staying progressive and identified with America and the definition of it, it is ironic that although there are different strikes now and then, the left has in keeping with national trends turned focus away from unions and economic issues i think although i don't say this with as much confidence. they are many modern left things and most especially embodied ambient feminism (female pushing and promotion) and intersectional stuff and they are tightly clustered around the mean (so much that everyone assumes you think like them on everyone and if you indicate don't you fall into a specific other category (which you don't), and they have trouble reconciling that. a lot of these are common trends but this place is quintessentially so. its different in many ways than the rest of the Midwest which makes me think is this just the natural form leftism takes in the Midwest? low openness - and it just occurred to me they're still proud of America and their sons being drafted and don't regret the wars except maybe Vietnam and iraq in the usual sense but not much talk about that or overthrowing dictators. they don't criticize the CIA or Epstein class. its like they're unconscious of categories for still being left. they don't have a language for things yet they have such a HIGH CERTAINTY in what they say and think

i have learned this by inference - like how babies learn language or animals understand each other- you just know. it just fits cause they don't talk about it openly

its a combination

i see a lot of weak men

excusers but enabled excusers
those are the worst- system enabled excusers

and when shark was telling in his audio 22 years ago to not be like an excuser, break the society program, I didn't have the same reference as him or as most. i was trying but i was pushing against a behemoth, a fucking machine

English girls have astonishingly given me a lot of love which i thought or assumed were supposed to be cold. i just reflected on that recently

this is the place that is cold
i think people here would ghost you even before ghosting was a thing, before say 2010. they can be warm -rare but possible- and then you're ghosted, i think

like in Turkey, antakya i noticed any foreigners quickly and we almost always connected because we were so rare. it's kind of like that here with socially divergent

how do we do this?

first, i am beat back. anytime i try to do something and i don't have a clear absolute path, even go out of the house the system is going to try beat me back. it is noisy, irritating, offensive. i know a lot of this is subjective. it is. if I'm winning, if i have good news i can go out and ignore everything but being burdened and stuck, one notices friction.

i always knew the power of stillness during uncertainty but this is next level

it means don't see the weekend any different than the week day. you are still just as captured

I'm listening to YouTube music rn this sun morning 848am and started with Mariah Carey Hero and it just came to Elton John from the lion King and the line "there's a time for everyone if they only learn that the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn"

i hope that is true. i knew that line from childhood. my parents had this cd system and we'd play stuff. we had the lion king and Aladdin cds as kids. we had Mannheim steamroller for Christmas music, that kind of thing

there was too much load on my mother and she xd herself but i was in my 30s but she had load but in the beginning she had faith and optimism and spirit, when i was young even though my retarded brothers were born. my dad never suffered load. he is driven by anxiety but amazingly I just only realized that, in my 40s, he hid it so well. my dad is a cross between bill gates body and affectations and ned Flanders personality but the early days, the 80s and 90s did have positivity and family. it crushed us. what went wrong? my mother's load- i don't blame her but she became rigid over load and put it on us with tense faces. my (non retarded and actually very smart) brother was bullied by her i guess, psychologically. i resisted - she called me stubborn but she needed help but maybe didn't know where to turn maybe was too proud. between my dad, my brothers and i guess family asking for money and coercing her i guess (secrets come out in time) it was too much but she steeled herself and transferred things down rather than make alliances and have warmth. the other big early life mistake was choice of college - disgusting one liberal arts rural one here that gave me nothing. i am not from Minnesota. I'm from nearby but that college put me straight in it without even giving me a city to discover or a useful degree. that's that, the shitty life launch so i taught English overseas and did organic farming and then got into accounting (tried for finance) and then tech plus real estate

kiyosaki put real estate on my map in maybe 2006- early on. i read his books. they made sense. i didn't understand how divergent i was or respect the cost and rigidity. maybe in Austin it would have worked. they have tight category systems and pathways here. in the right spaces this city actually is entrepreneurial but then its all about the hustle and the dollar and grind. kiyosaki put it on my map and it happened in 2016- hmm maybe a decade. i thought it was longer. it felt longer. a decade is not as long i guess.

in the bath and now in bed I'm feeling my face, the tiny micromovements. I'm not about ironic smiles. face shaping expression shaping is a thing and it starts with deep subconscious forces and pressures but one can be aware and notice the involuntary part smiles

micro expression awareness is freedom

real estate was a good idea in general but Captain obvious it binds you to a place

I've always been biased to action

now wind beneath the wings came on and that was a cd my mom played

magic music, crushing in a good sense

i was reading ancient Greek yesterday, book two greek to GCRE or whatever. its the human story its timeless its about war and glory and prosperity and survival and wisdom and people just trying to find the way. people think classical greece, philosophy but that came in the wake of war. they were a warrior people but everyone was. it has always been about war and dominance or at least prosperity - even chess is about that, putting pressure on the other side. society wasn't always as industrialized and crass and divided. that's the techno layer. it's ones position in it that matters

my real estate gives me lift, at least I think it does but one of my several is the anchor that needs cutting

i regret a lot or would if I believed in it and in choice but I don't want to add mistake on mistake

i can't really go out or do anything but what the world lets, allows permits.

it is like a feeling of learned helpless except that i don't see it as learned helplessness but structural helplessness - at least short term but life has a way of clawing back and of making false promises

my sister sent a yanni cd when i taught English in Japan. that introduced me to his epic music. that was a time when not everyone travelled. there was no IG or even YouTube. that was my initial post college trajectory. i want to rediscover the world i guess. just having a full time job and n-1 properties will feel lightweight when i get rid of this one. i will feel so free I'm sure though life has a way of clawing.. even when one makes allowances. it laughs at your allowances, even your "generous" ones.

this song "We were enough together" came on - i never heard before. powerful, and tragic

"I didn't need to change We were enough together And I didn't have to go I was enough for you now I'll never know"

damn bro those lyrics, with good rich instrumentation and that growling gutteral voice. I thought it might be the band that did photograph that everyone makes fun of but it wasn't. it was a good song not cheesy but his voice bears resemblance

I'm in my '40s and I don't have shit for social life I'm poor socially and I got all this real estate and it would be good if I had a good month since last summer since I closed on the last one which was a good one but the third the last one is dragging me down keeping me bonded here and dragging my finances down. I'm not going down but I'm not going up as fast all because of this third one which binds me here In this socially poor ass city which I'm ethnographing for my sanity and for legacy. That's the situation years are being wasted and they've already been wasted and I'm trying to escape and the place tries to claw me back and keep me down. tenants call on me periodically with issues But it is always the same building. I have other multi-families but is always this fucking one so that's the cycle I'm in and I'm trying to get out of these fucking cycles but I can't. it's not learned helplessness it's structured helplessness and it's not just the building on top of that it's noise, friction, street noise techno friction etc which I become sensitized to. I feel structurally captured in the moment and anyone can come save me when they buy the house and people have been looking at it- someone needs to just make me a fucking offer. I'm too proud to follow up. They express excitement and they ghost or they say they get back to me and they take their time but I'm too proud to follow up because I don't know what to say so it's better to say nothing. I'm in a structure helplessness place like a baby. like when you're a baby you depend absolutely on your parents. think about that and when you're old you depend on people typically. We only have a window of time and life when we're independent and can do things ourselves but how independent are we if we need money if we need all this stuff? we're just used - used by life And maybe the bathing and the relaxation has helped me see this more clearly which is disturbing which will lead to astonishment and ruling over all- see the gospel of Thomas, one of the first few sayings

I guess I'm still trying to metabolize everything in my frame in my bones in my mind and my body and my chest that is consuming the lion internalizing all the stuff from the outside not in my spirit well not having my spirit captured by it or my mind but my mind swallowing it But still being bigger than it and assimulating it on its own terms. I can actually feel when some assimilation some metabolism happens I feel it in my bones they tingle or they relax without me having caved or flinched. I stay open and things get metabolized but it comes in pieces. this is some wants me to fall into it and become a usable pawn. That's what the system wants and that's what I don't want. I want systems to promote flourishing and thriving but in the meanwhile there's a lot of structural helplessness I think. There's not a lot of true degrees of freedom not if you want to do what's best. I think there's a lot of pseudo choice. I think the system forces people to make choices they put a choice to people A or B and then once you decide then they know how to act and knows what to do next cuz it has a plan for everything but I challenge that whole framing. I think the first thing you have to do is understand systems

Am I not wise? Yes keep you warm

we'll see what the float tank does today because I might have to do it regularly because what happens is tension builds in the nervous system. it's not subjective stress it's actual tension and load and it needs to get discharged but that discharging can be dangerous. it's when I was walking and I would flinch all the time or spasm lately which never happened before but it's discharge. it's smashing things or throwing things down or smashing my belt on the wall and I want to stress I don't hate myself and I don't blame myself fundamentally but I do these things to release the tension but I want to figure out how to not get that tension in the first place cuz it's kind of scary to be honest it's a risk factor you can say the stupid thing. why do people speak out a turn and say things they regret? in many ways they're trying to discharge tension and get closure clarity and I think I can hold it as good as anyone but enough is enough you know so that is some stuff I've been thinking about. I've been living through so I have to be able to prevent this and manage this as I assimilate the world. I want to conquer I want to rule over all not over other people but over the system. I don't want to be beholden to it. I'm done being behold to things that are shitty and false and abusive and deprivational. I'm done being behold and but am I? do I even get to choose? does life even give me that option? I have moments like in Austin spending the whole day with this one chick and then this concert with this other I have moments of freedom but the biggest thing people seem to ignore and dating advice and another things is placed. It seems by the way that some people who come here from elsewhere retain their good nature and are wonderful people still and other people change and conform to it so that's interesting to think about. I'd almost say it's 50/50. well maybe they're drawn to hear because that is the type of person they always were or maybe they change and I think that's 50/50 so you got 25/25/50 But that's just a rough model. Am I not a good ethnographer? Am I not a good social scientist social cartographer? who else can talk about all these things that I can talk about. I want love I want to date a lot of people and have a lot of fun but I also want a family and it's worth sacrificing the one for the other I want kids to pass on things too maybe you don't have to sacrifice Elon musk didn't have to sacrifice a lot of people don't have to sacrifice seemingly amazingly astonishingly but yeah and that's where my head's at. freedom, free will that's what people believe in without ever defining these terms. coughing this morning and fatigued at a neurological level like when I did heavy lifting a lot like that in the gym years ago. it's almost identical. I think I depleted something neurologically in the last few days and yesterday after I finally got out of the bath to go to the tea shop the lowest part of my spine the sacrum was numb and I don't think that's cuz I was laying on it I think it was internally numb but in a good way in the sense that at least that's where the energy is sitting I think I've gone down down down down my whole life gradually gone down more and more first it was my mind maybe and then my heart I remember the days traveling teaching facing challenges I always open my heart to challenge back and then more recently my gut it took a long time to get alive to my gut the emotions in it I mean that was within the last year and now it's going down faster and now I see it's all about the sacrum the muladhara/destabilization- That's what the system here tries to agitate with horns I mean what other purposes there of a car horn but to honk and startle someone and when that happens enough It becomes the kind of permanent pattern and I'm trying to stay grounded and that means grounded in the very base of my spine so because even my own home if you go in the day and work and deal with stress that's one thing but even my own home is an open port with tenants next door one unit over and with the walls leaking a few street noises. I'm in such a place where it can be quiet if there's no traffic there's not permanent traffic permanent sirens but then you can also get horns from drivers horns from people doing their security alarm engine revs as well as sirens from more distantly so even my own home is a place of agitation when I'm trying to settle down and have continuity of thought so yesterday in the bath I finally got out My pelvis was numb in a subconscious internal way like there's activation like there's awakening like there's a thaw or something but I know it's not going to be easier quick but that was the feeling even as I was feeling neurologically fatigued. And I listen to powerwolf sometimes like their song my will be done. if you want to know how I feel internally look at that singer's face. his face sums up my moods my posture right now. Yes he and I are very deep alignment but I also like listening to soft music or epic music like yanni or Persian background Middle Eastern music with the strings I can take a variety but maybe he does too but his singing and his songs represent the aggravation I feel in the spirit I feel so perfectly too. it's just that I want to listen to him when I'm frustrated and drown out the noise but even the Krishna flute can be just as liberating and that's where I'm at kind of April 19th 2026. more shit is coming my way with my tenants from the same building in the next day or two. I don't know what it is I just know the pattern I just know it always is the place resists governance. I've done so much to govern it to stabilize it to make it well so much so fucking much and it resists It always always always unruly through those things at me so I can't truly rest I need a deeper better pattern saying I can't guarantee this I can't guarantee you'll never see a mouse I can't guarantee other neighbors will be quiet I can't guarantee anything God damn it keep me out of all your little squabbles I'm looking for margin things I can do or say differently or understand differently that I'm not yet understanding because I have to max things because the fucking place puts the screws to me and I got a fucking sell it I got to get a fucking offer from someone even a low offer will buy me sanity and freedom and I might sell it back to the seller I might offer it to him I drafted an email for that purpose but I'm not going to send it yet until I hear back on the latest people who looked at it. I am hogtied it feels like and I didn't sign up for this knowingly and so many assumptions had to fail not just one not just two not just three but multiple assumptions had to fail that I did the math on or mental math. The city had to be shitty and I had to realize it was shitty The buildings expenses had to be higher on every front multiple repairs shitty ass tenants it's just quite crazy cuz even if the property was shit but the city was nice I would have a life it's like holy fuck Way to get someone to had to use all their pieces to put me in check They had to bring out the whole guard just for a little ole me. That's how it feels. things don't always go according to plan and the people of Athens had to evacuate to salamis. that must have been crazy. The people of Ukraine have seen villages bombed. I know my situation is not that special in this world that's the point this whole world is a corpse this whole world is a death center destruction center in many ways without me trying to exaggerate. it's mostly peaceful but most of the pieces of false peace but maybe it's not all you need is for people to smile at each other husband and wife you don't need riches you don't even need a good job you just need connection and that should be free and that should be the freest easiest way to make people flourish let everyone be broke let a small group of oligarchs rule the planet hoarding 99.9% of the wealth but have everyone smile at each other and treat each other with respect holy shit that's still flourishing you know Jesus Christ What the fuck is wrong with this fucking world so I know my problems on the surface are not special I know that I always knew that but I can only analyze my problems I can only share my problems and my country is the cause of a lot of these problems in the world to be honest in the last hundred years. an acquaintance just moved to Germany and she's loving it she hated it here I don't know the details cuz I didn't know her that well but yeah please fucking matters so fucking much

i just did a float tank. fucking nice

i gotta do more

the warm home bath water is almost as good except the fucking noise

this was quiet

refreshed... but
i didn't walk out happy
i walked out afraid
i am exposed - to stress and neural load

its a dangerous world

the body is a computer and the tense body doesn't compute well but tension is necessary in this hectic demanding world

get the rest one can

it is dangerous
not being rested is dangerous

I'm at a place reading etc and i had a thought of the girl i took to sr prom

i probably could have should have fucked her or tried but that kid had no one to ground, guide, validate or empower him. its funny that thought came up. i think we got to go back. we can close all wounds or loops, even deep ones. go for it all. be health greedy, mental health, glory greedy gain greedy but get rest

 

[odyseus]

the system default is to make people do emotional labor

it is free to ask or impose

the system is not designed for flourishing

there is an emotional labor economy

chest out

study blunders, study impulses, behaviors, triggers, committments, fatigue. the spirit opens no matter how much it is insulted or loaded

the sad fact too is the beautiful asymmetry- women can carry load that men hate and vice versa but they divided us. people let themselves become selfish and divided. people are greedy and foolish, or beholden, but how did they become beholden?

my dream is to one day throw my phone in the ocean. a lot would have to be true for that to be possible

one has to do a labor accounting

servus laborat

too much labor, unaccounted for and it is a power move to throw it back on others. thats how one takes back a kingdom. too much labor. labor every day- lack of manners. surplus extraction. deep brain labor. enough. i am not a beholden one

 

[odyseus]

played heaven where true love goes, and

the world is a world of agitation

we are in the psyche era- because of the density of peoples, the population of the planet, etc and TMI TMN (too much news or too many notifications). we should all be doing more kundalini but it seems people are becoming robotic- but I'm seeing minnesotans, in the great white desert

if i may

if i make a keyboard typo it destroys my flow and continuity and i cant get it back

its futile

i want to reflect that in this post

I'm fatigued

headphones on most of the day now
i consider myself a present person still but i have to drown out all the noise

noise and sometimes the signal in it induce

this is very deep and profound

it is agitating but it can also be deeply impronting

fuck- typo

these keyboards are so slippery. using a stylus helps but the screen is so flat. maybe they make a different rough rubbery tipped stylus

ux it matters dearly to me

go the distance played next but on the walk home then its all coming back to me celine version not meat's.

the

will is destroyed

will and spirit get destroyed by the smallest things

people are so captured and don't even realize it

technology is too hyper

way too fucking hyper

too slow when you need ut fast?


i am done

my spirit takes poundings

its already labor

i din

hurts deeply

deserve. do i deserve pain? systems are harder to navigate than it seems

i need to study impulse- ie in the brain

chess is a teacher

sonny corleone

satisfied

i dont want to be satisfied, until the time is right

i have asked or told the world many many times over the years- i want to be grounded in my spine

so many create tension [learning greek has changed how i write]. many things create tension and frustration in the spirit system. doing focused work creates tension and slipping creates frustration and frustration is pain and invalidation and a brain storm.

the world is a chess board

the pedophile empire is highly coordinated

i absorb what i have to but i want to be past that.

who discovers the world discovers the body (thomas)

i have nothing i am poor i am used, recruited drafted coerced held beholden bound so the first things to achieve are peace, stillness, clarity, centeredness, basedness. impulses are not ones friend. so some local gradient sent you to a shitty 'college' but it didn't feel collegial

i am poor but i have inner access- i am relatively awake and alive and open, working on my aura

impulses are dangerous

load dumpings and accountabilities are onerous

there must be some impulse algorithm in the human brain male brain- an activation function

i get tension and i need to discharge it

life is dangerous. many think it is not

they are ahistoric and suburban

what breed of man is this

impulses give also rise to ironic expressions

all this emotional labor and presentation

appearance

people act from appearance
trump is obsessed with appearance

what if trump actually has an inferiority complex?

forces exist in the world

I'm most scared of the ones living in my head

i have to ground them out

pain so much pain and rage but things behind that too- splendor and mystery

i marvel

Θαυμαζω, an often used greek word.

so much to marvel but first the pain

the fatigue

the forces and the friction

we are all dancers or no? the gods of this world are calling the tune

men and women play it differently

so much fatigue and exhaustion fragmentation enforced and speed

rip families

i think western civ especially is a corpse

post christian is showing worse than christian which is worse than pre christian

it is austere protestsnt and post protestant

but the west and is a civ that would nuke and firebomb the world

no soul. a misattuned soul
