joke about outcomes you want, focus on what you want to see more of, etc etc β I didnβt come up with these directives on some random whim, theyβre grounded in sad experience and troubled readings and an understanding of how memetic surges sweep people away

I can’t emphasize enough how much you can influence a child’s or young person’s life by just genuinely believing in them when no one else does. You’ll create a thought in their head, a little amulet they’ll closely hold on to whenever they hit hard times

Corpses piled on bridges, corpses blocking off a whole street at the intersection, corpses displaying every manner of death possible to human beings. When I involuntarily looked away, my brother scolded me, βAkira, look carefully now.β When that night I asked my brother why he made me look at those terrible sights, he replied: βIf you shut your eyes to a frightening sight, you end up being frightened. If you look at everything straight on, there is nothing to be afraid of.β With my camera, like Dostoyevsky with his prose, I have tried to force the audience β which is often unwilling β to look carefully now.

honestly, i believe most people have very shallow models of friendship, and this seems cultural like, i don’t think i’ve heard of people grocery shopping together outside of their spouse, or cleaning their house, etc. irl i know only one group of friends who do this*

Sorry, kitten. The walls are closing in on daddy
-
the stuff you joke about (even ironically or whatever) has a way of shaping your reality so be careful and deliberate with that stuff. a lot of people out here fumbling their own bags by joking about outcomes they donβt want. you might as well joke about the outcomes you do want

Everyone should read the book “The Rape of Nanking” by American journalist Iris Chang.

I think it’s an ugly meme. It mocks normie Millenials for coping with their mediocrity, wanting to live and have companionship and fun. What are they to do, motherfucker? What can you offer in exchange? Nothing? Then get drowned in a culture that molded them to perpetuate itself.

the light fading from peopleβs eyes is something very discernible that weβre often expected to pretend we canβt see, and maybe even conditioned to unsee

To have a good time on the Internet longterm I recommend spending the first 10 years determining which arguments are not worth having, and then the next 50+ not having them
