(FB 1544456652 Timestamp) Um. Haters (the people you are defeating) are a sign of your success in destroying their sacred cows. We ignore those who pose no threat to us. We heap praise on those who advocate for us. We throw hate at those who falsify us. I know the absolutist (little boys) are haters. It’s a good thing. It means I’m destroying their childish fantasies as I intend to. The White Law is the only Absolute I know of other than simple power. But simple power must be measured by some criteria. The only means I know of by which to measure that power is The White Law.

(FB 1544393857 Timestamp) THE NARRATIVES WE BUILD It is very difficult to both think very deeply about the the universe, the world, life, and experience, and not produce an internal story of wonder. That is why all of us that think deeply about the universe, the world, life, and experience do so. That is, in no small part, because the alternative is too upsetting to survive with. Some of us see a vast, cold, dead, hostile, uncaring universe. Some of us wonder at its complexities. Some of us, but new worlds to conquer. Some of us all of the above.

(FB 1544725857 Timestamp) The Little Connecticut Village Cafe In full Christmas
(FB 1544725857 Timestamp) The Little Connecticut Village Cafe In full Christmas window decor. Snow. Brownstone in the background. (The Brownstone quarry is forever closed). Very ‘quaint’. Now would I rather be in any of these other locations? Well yes. I can ‘testify’ to the awesomeness of each. I would much rather be ‘Home’ in Ukraine than here in the decaying sticks of american collapse. But we can find charm anywhere if we look for it. FAVORITE COFFEE SHOPS Kiev’s London Coffee? (Kiev Ukraine) SEE: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g294474-d7139945-Reviews-Coffee_House_LONDON-Kiev.html Or L’viv’s Veronika Cafe? (L’viv Ukraine) SEE: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g295377-d953333-Reviews-Veronika_Confectionery_Restaurant-Lviv_Lviv_Oblast.html Both of which are Nth-degree better? Or Victor’s Celtic Coffee (Redmond WA, USA) SEE: https://www.facebook.com/Victors-Celtic-Coffee-Co-528378507228007/ Or John Watt and Sons (Carlisle, Cumbria, UK) SEE: https://www.facebook.com/johnwattandson (especially for scones with jam and cream) Or La Coquetterie (Angers, France) SEE https://www.facebook.com/lacoquetterieangers I actually can’t find anything good in London because every single place is busy and dirty and loud. And I haven’t spent any time in NYC lately, and the places I know in SOHO are all gone (as is the soho I remember). And I can’t remember the one in St Petersburg. And Moscow shops – while the most desirable – are simply too expensive to recommend in general.

(FB 1544812047 Timestamp) —“What is the story with your father and the council?”– Steven Jackson I don’t have a lot good to say about my father but he was smart, worked very hard, and would never lie ever. (He’d come very close to killing you for even suggesting it.) I used to go to town council meetings and learn how ‘government was done’. Stupid shit like ‘this sidewalk is expensive’. Ordinary stuff. The newspaper would regularly twist his words out of context in order to imply the direct opposite of what he said. I have vivid memories of lying on the carpet in the living room reading the newspaper saying “I was there. That is not what happened.” And my father saying “news is a best nothing but fictional entertainment, and at worst nothing but lies. Never believe a word they say”. So I get into college and it’s a saturday and I’m wearing faded jeans with holes in them, and a faded blue chamois shirt, and white sneakers, and walking around campus because I did too much writing already and need a break. It’s a rainy day. i walk into the student union, and someone has sponsored this absurd pinball machine where the ball is the size of a softball. So I walk up to this thing and put a quarter in it and try it. Out of nowhere the local news crew comes up and asks if they can film me. I am not and never have been someone who likes public attention, but I said yes. The women then proceeded to start a dozen takes trying to get me to say that I had nothing better to do than play pinball in university. And so I finally said – I’m not going to make a fool of myself. I told you already, that I’m taking a walk because I’ve done too much work already, and this is just something interesting because it’s new.” They aired some choppy thing without me responding that she suggested the same nonsense. I was walking down the street in west hartford just after I had purchased a local business. Some reporter stopped me for one of those 60 second sets of questions. They tried multiple times to force me to say other than what I’d said: that the problem was that hartford had imported too many black families and that the north end in particular was a no-go zone even for the FBI. (This was common knowledge). They did not air my statement. I give press releases all the time. Between the inflation by the marketers, the PR firm, and the press you’d think I claimed I went to Harvard and invented the light bulb. I stopped giving interviews to the press because you simply can’t trust them to get anything right that doesn’t fit their institutional narrative. Every journalist is a professional gossip and nothing more. The same is true for every social scientists, and everyone in the non-stem academy. And you wonder why I want to legislate TRUTH? That’s why.
