Interesting idea: should we exterminate pitbulls as a subspecies? Replace all dogs by "nice" breeds like labradors? twitter.com/1000PolarBear/stat

consider the Fitbit, a Faustian shackle of the Quantified Self

a yoke around ones wrist, a biometric legibilizer, measuring that which is managed

comprising a trade of akratic plausible deniability for the searing light of shameful self-knowledge, an executive loss of innocence

wordcel and rotator are but two sides of the same coin

the purpose of rituals, spiritual institutions & leaders, is to guide u to these states regularly, as otherwise most of us wouldn't arrive at them

intentional use of psychedelics is another path there, but it is but a toxic shortcut

the goal is to make it there w/o chemical aid
