When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

nobody should care about celebrities, but most people are pathetic mindless creatures who follow the words and ideas of their favourite vacuous celebs, and so pop stars remain relevant despite being intrinsically worthless

its like how ayn rand had nothing interesting or valuable to say but her trash remains relevant because its popular among those who have power

People need to go easier on Turing for his recent falling out with Grimes, we all have our crosses to bear. Mine is the fact that I strongly advocate the destruction of gamers and other child-like subsets of western "culture" despite playing video games myself. Embarrassing, but I must fight against the gamer within myself every day if I wish to succeed in my righteous task.

Ask me about Briar Rose and Chicken Chaser.
When I was really young one time I wanted KFC but my parents wanted Popeyes chicken, so we decided to go to KFC first and then Popeyes to please everyone, but when I got there I hid the KFC and told the lady working the drive through that I loved their food because I thought she'd be upset that I was eating at her competitor

And of course it was ridiculous, since she didn't have any input in the bussiness or any real stake in how well they do, and for a long time I just thought it was a funny piece of naivete

Then later I realized under socialism it actually would have been an insult because she would have partial ownership and it would probably be a local restaurant instead of a chain and that socialism is so intuitive that kids assume it's how things work

It's insulting that you preferred KFC to Popeyes at all.

Unrelated but I went to a sporting goods store and the guy checking out next to me was wearing a Black Rock (as in the asset management firm) thermal vest but was carrying Sheila Fitzpatrick’s “The Russian Revolution.”
