Anyone else here used kratom before? I find it extremely helpful for breaking up long standing patterns of muscular tension.

Same! I rarely block people but I can't stand the self-assured, adult red pill man's mindset. Feels quite close to just pure selfish evil to me.

I've been lazy this week, haven't gone to the gym once yet. Trying to hit 2x per week. Planning to go today, then try for another workout Saturday or Sunday.
Wrote a couple of random fantasy short stories, enjoying that. I just want to write more than publish, necessarily.

So wait do you want me to delete this? Or I’m assuming it’s hidden?

I'm re-reading Worm and gah it's so incredible. I see why it became a rationalist favorite. I need more books like this in my veins, stat.

I'd recommend trying to write how you speak to others. Perhaps record yourself and use an AI to have the transcript written out. You preserve a lot more of your unique style that way and you can work your writing style to model that.

Hey glad to hear man! At least one person has listened then, hah.
Yeah it's always sad to read series with a lot of potential that don't fulfill it, but hey that's more common than not. I still enjoyed reading it.

Just to jump in on you guys, I didn't make a resolution but I've been very happy with my own Substacking / writing this year. I'm coming up on three years of actively posting and I've got 71 published pieces, with a bunch more written. I feel good about it!
I like that y'all are doing this too it's inspiring.

People say Amadan breaks the rules, but I haven't seen it? He seems to be pretty measured to me. Do you have examples?
I'm always sad to lose colorful posters here though. Sucks how few of the prolific folks seem to be able to regulate the heat in their posting.

It is! I think I have controlled for most of the other variables.

Does anyone else have wildly varied hangovers? If I drink while sitting and gaming or going online, I get nasty hangovers. But then if I drink while out with friends, I usually feel fine.
This is even if I drink way more while out with friends! Doesn’t make sense to me but…. It’s clearly a pattern. Anyone relate?
The cold fire trilogy by CS Lewis is a fun one.
For light fun fantasy I like Earthsea and Narnia.
Edit: sorry I meant cs Friedman not Lewis!

This is a very impoverished way of seeing the world. You could use the same reductionist logic to say that love is nothing but chemicals firing in the brain, or that morality is nothing but dressing on cold, utilitarian game theoretical outcomes to push cooperation.
It's one way of looking at life, that has perhaps some truth to it, but is ultimately deeply flawed.

Yeahhhh that was my biggest complaint. I mean at least they had real killing and stakes and a truly epic scale. But the YA therapy dialogue was the lowest point of the series.

Glass Bead Game is way overrated imo, I couldn't even finish it. I hope it's better for you idk, it gets a lot of love, but I was incredibly bored by it. Cool concept though.

Muslims hate dogs? Just another reason not to like them.
You should watch I Am Legend next.
