“So little time left. The Right’s political and intellectual leaders believe they are engaged in a noble war for the “soul,” the identity, the very existence of the nation. If the stakes are so high, if the other side is out to destroy all that is good about America and not only tear the nation’s moral fabric apart, but erase the natural order in the process, moderation, restraint, and patience are not an option. There is therefore no line they don’t feel justified to cross. Where does America go from here? “Normal” politics is not an adequate response to the kind of challenge the country now faces. In fact, a return to pre-Trump “normalcy” is not even desirable, as it would merely restore a deeply dysfunctional, deficient system that gave rise to this mess in the first place. America needs transformative change. But as we are locked into an existential struggle, is it even remotely realistic to hope for a democratic leap? What are the actual chances of transformational progress in a society so fundamentally divided?”

“A scoundrel’s worst fear is a society without property—for without it, he will only get the respect he deserves. Without money, people are valued for what they contribute to others’ lives, not for what they can bribe others to do. Without profit, every effort must be its own reward, so there is no incentive for meaningless or destructive activity. The things that really matter in life— passion, camaraderie, generosity—are available in abundance. It takes legions of police and property surveyors to impose the scarcity that traps us in this rat race.”

I just realized

I don't trust

my own thoughts

Including the ones

I ought to.

[cparker15]

I am the cosmos.

I don't know how my heart beats,

but it does.

I don't know how my orbits move,

but they do.

If it doesn't make sense yet,

it's not in alignment yet.

Do you speak to communicate with others?

Or

Do you speak to express yourself?

Can you tell the difference in yourself?

Can you tell the difference in others?

[cparker15]

The versions of you in their minds are not you.

The versions of them in your mind are not them.

The versions of me in your mind are not me.

The versions of you in my mind are not you.

Are the versions of you in your mind you?

🌟 Ever felt torn between following your heart and trusting the data? What if you didn't have to choose?

I've been on an incredible journey, exploring the space where calculation meets intuition, where structure dances with spontaneity. It's a journey that's taken me through personal struggles, academic halls, and moments of profound inspiration.

The result? A book that's slowly taking shape, tentatively titled "The Synergy Synthesis: Uncalculated Life, Calculated World."

Imagine a world where big data and gut feelings aren't adversaries, but partners. Where ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science speak the same language. Where your spreadsheets and your dreams work in harmony.

It's coming. And it might just change the way you see everything.

Stay tuned. Your invitation to the dance of synergy is on its way.

I'm feeling pretty turned-off

by people who are full of themselves.

Disgusted.

Vomitorious.

You're God's gift to yourself.

If trojan horses are gifts.
