Ever get some new piece of clothing that you think is great but you don't want to ask other peoples' opinions on it because you know even if they don't like it there's a pretty high chance they'll just lie and say they do and if they do like it, it will be largely unimportant because you already liked it to begin with so what's the point?
No? Okay.
I am utterly horrified when leftists act like capitalism is just going to wither up and die as a natural cycle. That is wholesale fantasy. Unless we do the titanic work of moving toward socialism, capitalism will turn straight into fascism and take us with it.
I understand the tendency to let down our guard and to disengage with our existential ennui/dread, but I think it is a tendency that insulates us from reality.
Further, it is a luxury not afforded to everyone and therefore it is a luxury that alienates us from other humans. Engage with the world, engage with your doubts, hold yourself existentially accountable for the creation of personal meaning and fulfillment. Otherwise, your deathbed moment will be filled with regrets.

I believe in the existentialist conception that a life should be "lived towards death." That is to say: we should make all of our decisions as if we are on our death bed, retrospectively analyzing our actions and decisions.
It puts a lot of daily burden on us to act in a way we would be proud of. But I think it works precisely for that reason. We have a tendency to give in to our creature comforts, to give into normalcy, and to forget the importance of our one fleeting moment of sentience.
dankwraith @ monads.onlineyoure feeling kind of sad. suddenly bob ross appears next to you. thats impossible, bob ross passed away years ago. but he's standing right there. how are you here bob? he winks.
“In nature, dead trees are just as normal as live trees.”
it's so hard to be alive sometimes bob. he nods.
"You need the dark in order to show the light.”
thanks bob. i love you. he smiles.
“Never forget to tell these special people in your life just how special they are to you.”
Yeahh...so...the crickets I'm getting on this sort of confirm my expectations.
VanglussSo I haven't seen Crazy Rich Asians, but I'm trying to understand how this entire movie can be anything other than "more Asian CEOs!" boiled down into an hour and a half. Is there some surprise in the story that is lurking that should have leftists so hyped about it?
To me it sounds like "oh man, this entire movie is about an ICE facility where all of the cast members are Black! Representation yayyyy!"
...what?
Anyone here who has seen it and can explain?
