Fell asleep listening to Hillary Putnam. Youtube on autoplay. Chomsky gets into the mix. I spend the whole F–king night dreaming I’m arguing with Chomsky and he won’t let me get a word in edgewise.
My version of hell.

( What’s on my mind? It’s sunny. I’m recalling slightly kinky daytime sex with an extremely hot woman on a balcony in the Astoria overlooking Rome. That’s what’s on my mind. Do you really wanna know what’s on my mind? Well, so, you know, there are sorta limits to sharing. )

Spent today in gun stores in connecticut, and omg there is one here that puts everything outside of texas to shame. It’s unbelievable. It’s just evidence that the more you threaten gun culture the more profitable and dedicated gun owners become. I thought Wade’s Eastside was pretty impressive for it’s hollywood gun collection but omg, this place makes seattle look like a low rent district.
Once you have a carry permit in CT, which is close to a shall issue state, it seems like everything is pretty easy. It’s just waaay harder than it was when I lived here 30 years ago. I mean I took the NRA training way back then and the whole bit. I’ve had my WA license and then my Utah license. But this whole CT thing just looks like a lot of bureaucratic nonsense, that does nothing at all except place a burden on the working class guy who wants to hunt, shoot, or defend life and property.
I cant wait to outlaw frivolous and symbolic laws. 🙂

( So here is the thing. Thanks to my family, I seem to have physically recovered from the past two years, and have most of my health under control again. And while some of it is diet and environment, I assume it is also dependent upon the season. No matter what I do, supplements included, the winters are just brutal for me, and I perform poorly from november to march. Now, if I work on both coding and writing it is too draining, and both suffer. writing requires contemplation and synthesis (free association) and is tolerant of constant trial and error. Coding requires disciplined short term memory, and is intolerant of trial and error. And so it is very much like thinking with different parts of your brain. I attribute the difficulty to the learning curve. Interestingly, managing projects, designing features, testing doesn’t stress me but the coding seems to. This decline in my functionality is more evident in my writing than my coding. But I have definitely been overdoing the coding such that I’m making less progress by devoting more time to it. When after I’ve eaten and slept I solve in a moment what had frustrated me for hours the night before. So this is putting additional stress on me since I don’t seem to be able to code as many hours as I used to. I’ve been slowly cutting out the negative people from my social group and this has helped. I’m still very stressed about my friends and family in Ukraine, and how much I miss them. I try not to think about it.)

( I cannot take the time to think through ideas that I could while in Ukraine. The tech work is overwhelming me.)

(So it seems like my problem is allergies and that I’m not sleeping well or enough because they’re agitated. This is whats hurting the quality and volume of my work. Despite that. Did two short runs yesterday. felt great.)

MY COMING OF AGE 74-84
My coming of age was the oil crisis, gas lines, unemployment, personal computers, computer games, dungeons and dragons, star wars, ronald reagan, Aids, Cocaine, MTV, Lamborghinis, and Neuromancer, Alien, Blade Runner, and Wall Street was descriptive of my generation’s ambitions. We were yuppies.
Computers were the big difference. We used BBS’s, newsgroups, and Compuserve Just like internet was the big difference of the 90/00’s and smartphones the 00/10’s.

( Personal: My big fear, which I definitely feel these days, is that I will have a period where I am less effective like Hayek did. And I just don’t have the time left for that. Still too many periods of difficulty working intensely. )

(In 90 days, I’ve gone from almost never banning, to deleting anything not valuable or at least ‘positive’, and banning with abandon. I run out of stupid-resist too easily.)
