i am reading the works of montessori now and it's just like talking to an italian irl, by which i mean she waxes lyrical about cosmology and philosophy and the human condition and i'm like "hell yeah!" and then she'll be like "you know who was a great teacher who really understood the power of inspiring youth to revolutionize a culture? hitler!"

there's a bit of that too. "all children universally will be helped by my method. except for the ones with inborn defects, the criminals and the insane. gently caress those guys tbh"

i am not sure how someone (both montessori and steiner) can devote their lives to studying how to produce clever, engaged, well-behaved, community-minded children, and then specifically point at the jews as a culture that has nothing to offer

as someone born into both the jewish and asian child raising tradition, i have to note that it does produce all of that, but it seems almost custom made to produce incredibly neurotic people. myself not excepted

lol, same on all counts. it's even worse when you grow up separated from the culture, because then there's no rhyme or reason to what parts slip through, it's just "you must be a doctor! worship your grandmother! ALL SHAME ALL THE TIME" but without the cultural connective tissue that makes sense of it all.

e: we were pretending to be catholic at the time, which made it even worse

For a period of several weeks in 1966, Kaczynski experienced intense sexual fantasies of being female and decided to undergo gender transition. He arranged to meet with a psychiatrist, but changed his mind in the waiting room and did not disclose his reason for making the appointment. Afterwards, enraged, he considered killing the psychiatrist and other people whom he hated. Kaczynski described this episode as a "major turning point" in his life

i used to have a big inferiority complex because my family spent so long wandering in the desert of catholicism, then when i finally rejoined the community they were like "oh lol lots of people had to do that". we dropped out in the end because they stopped giving the mass in latin, the old ladies could finally understand what they were saying and realised it was bullshit. my great-grandmother summoned several priests to her apartment to explain to her what had happened to all the people in hell now that a bunch of mortal sins had been de-classified. were they stuck in hell unjustly forever, or were they going to get a re-trial? the priests couldn't tell her, so she ragequit and took the rest of us with her

Was chatting with a old lady once when working front facing and a guy came up behind her and, of course, he knew he had no choice but to wait. At one point she picked up my ques and looked back, directly at him then turned back and continued chatting for a few minutes more until she was done. absolute boss move

absolutely nobody stops old ladies from chatting at the checkout. some assistants enjoy it (i did) and the old ladies have a laser instinct for recognizing them. if they've found a cashier who likes a chat, jesus himself could not get them to finish up the conversation before they're ready

i vividly remember one of those isekai style western books where music=magic (felt like it was written by high school music teacher hyping their own poo poo) and their big 'invention from the modern world' was creating hoover dam via magic. i put it down after that because i felt leaving it there was a great ending. random library trash books ftmfw
