Excellence & Loneliness

“For excellent painters are not unsociable from pride, but either because they find few minds capable of the art of painting or in order not to corrupt themselves with the vain conversation of idle persons and degrade their thoughts from the intense and lofty imaginings in which they are continually rapt.” -Francisco de Holanda (also spelled Hollanda) in his Dialogues in Rome (Diálogos em Roma), part of Da Pintura Antiga. These were published in 1548 and describe discussions that took place in 1538 at the convent of San Silvestro in Rome, with Vittoria Colonna and others present.

Did you forget the good guys were gonna win?

Time, Energy and Truth were always the winning roadmap for the good guys to defend. Yes this timeline is dark but the biggest light of all is that we picked up on the right patterns of evil a long time ago.

Remember when the Epstein files came out and showed the whole world that the ruling class rape, kill, and eat babies and then… nothing happened? Apparently everyone needs a reminder. So I compiled the worst things found in the Epstein files in one place (no paywall). https://t.co/2mCnnThnQL

Merit & 5 Chimps

I regularly speak about how your 5 chimps influence your life the most. If at least one of those chimps isn't pulling up the bar on honesty, merit, and truth without compromising, then the other 4 chimps will collectively develop the shared thinking around these values. Intellectual dishonesty is developed from lack of discipline around self-introspection. Trusted chimps will confirm biases like no other dynamic. Suddenly your tribe can be reinforcing your brilliance when on a particular topic, you're a jaw-dropping-dumbass. Lack of introspection comes from being in environments where friends don't stay on you about the truth and the difficult things you need to do to be healthy. Kind of like they would about going to the gym. When I watch this post, I think about how the collective thinking around feminism has destroyed so many future families and created so much future misery. The pschological operation to convince women of something so incorrect has worked so incredibly well by appealing to power, that it has convinced a great many of them to ignore reproductive biological evolution. Props to the bad guys. And yet the problem is still weak men who didn't stand up to call out stupidity. Why do we still do this? Why do we still condone breathtaking retardation when some women speak? It's the same reason that brought down Samson.
