“It is what it is.” “Yeah, dog shit is dog shit. You still need to clean it up. This is a bad time to be practicing ‘radical acceptance.' You can change this. Somethings you can't. I needed to accept morality.” The two cult members looked at each other and began to clean up the dog … Continue reading prologues of mental realism
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
I've seen the above floating around as a meme lately. I don't think it is a new concept, as I've long pondered if it is morally acceptable to kill some people based on a devaluation of their life by the role they play. Probably. However, it's still a tragedy to kill someone. I'll never forget … Continue reading Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
Against my better judgement
This sentence is a link to an article by an evolutionary biologist arguing something that may largely be true, but he also misses the point. Take out the names from the story and use pronouns. I don't think cop intended to kill him. I think he didn't really give a shit about him though, nor … Continue reading Against my better judgement

Lies I Tell Myself
There are objective truths. However, what we are witnessing in America right now isn't lies. Lies require an intention to deceive. What we are witnessing is a spread of paranoid perceptions in society, and unfortunately the only thing an individual knows for certain is that s/he exists. Yes, it is within reason to say that … Continue reading Lies I Tell Myself

They were attempting to resume at least forced relocation. We brought in more back up. There were hundreds of … Continue reading Pi; The Weakest Link of Lucidity
Observations of Delusional Manifestos
I've been trying to find some article better than a meme to explain why I sympathize with BLM civil disobedience over cops killing unarmed people in a society that has racial, cultural and socio-economic discrimination built into it. However, I’m empathetic to the obvious mental illness I see in the capital protesters. For one, their … Continue reading Observations of Delusional Manifestos
Ideas for a discussion group
Hey, I was hoping to use more of the discussion board as a means of planting a wider depth to our conversations. It's nice to have a starting point, before we go live. I would like to spring one such idea off of what K----y said. I am bipolar and I have noticed many of … Continue reading Ideas for a discussion group
A Really Brief Biblical Synopsis
The god thing for most people in my life is honestly an amalgamation of their values, using an old psychadelic term. My classical childhood stories anthropomorphized it, but with a very with a dark non-Disney'esque ending; They torture to death a nice schizoaffective vagabond bastard who was a street magician, story teller, etc, because he … Continue reading A Really Brief Biblical Synopsis
CS Lewis-esque Christians and Me
Part of the reason I have increasingly become less of a social justice warrior is the influence on me by Christians of a CS Lewis nature. "The vice I am talking of is Pride or Self-Conceit: and the virtue opposite to it, in Christian morals, is called Humility. You may remember, when I was talking … Continue reading CS Lewis-esque Christians and Me
