  • I would probably only have one or two kids. I think it is beautiful to bring someone into the world and teach them the good and the bad of it. But I won’t have more kids than two because it would be unfair to bring more children into a world that is quite literally burning. If I get kids, I teach them to appreciate existence but to leave the planet should the travel to and habitation of Mars become viable.





  • I find reading philosophy in general to be better self-help than these actual new age self-help books. Taoism is particularly relevant today because of cult of productivity, utility and hustle culture which I find rather surprising people are doing-- because this trend is only serving the capital owners at the end, not yourself. Taoism teaches to slow down and at times being “useless” proves to be more useful.



  • It isn’t anti-Semitic to say one is actually poor Russian desperate for money who needs to have pipe in his home installed by posting back to back to reach a quota.

    Gotta pump up the numbers to also save enough money to leave Russia at some point, before the country crashes after the war in Ukraine. Putin will be dead, and there isn’t anyone worth their salt to replace him to keep the country. If anything, Russia will likely be a Chinese vassal in the future.




  • Realistically, no one worth their salt could replace Putin and expect that person to hold Russia together. Putin made sure no one could upstage him.

    The best case scenario for Russia post-Putin is to have a Maduro-type leader. Someone competent enough to hold on to power and enrich his cronies boyars, although could never have the charisma to gain enough popular support and cult following of his predecessor. Thus, the next leader is in a precarious hold on the power like Maduro.
