Scout (orange cat) is getting larger again. Can't decide if we should diet him or just let him be large.

I do the eyes open stare at a wall kinda meditation. I generally just observe any sensation (including thoughts, og Buddhism describes thinking as one of our senses).

Vanta black face is only 2d racism.Which is a measurable amount, but incomparable to 3d racism.

Now that you say it, I see it. I want to scale one up and eat it whole.

A bunch of microbes is usually a goopy slimey mess.

I hear genes couldn't have changed as fast as shortsightedness has risen. I've heard bright light like from the sun helps certain systems shape the eyes and as we've rapidly become indoor folks myopia has risen.

Why aren't any big businesses worker coops? Because it's harder to expand when you can't force others to do it for your personal gain. Exploitative systems will move faster.

I think this is a hard problem to solve but I've not given up on it. If egalitarian communities can be more resistant to strife they could grow faster in the long run.

My hope is in the fact that many people are trying and near everyone wants it. It's a good cause to be a part of.

I live a privileged life within a very privileged country. I consider this luxury stolen. Many people that made my life possible got a very bad deal.

Maybe were not on the same page, but I have only seen assertions from you. I have no idea why you gave up. You just say its not possible.

I think it is possible because of groups like the Icelandic commonwealth. We can organize lots of different ways. Many societies are much more equal than America so I think we can move in that direction.

I think if there were solid research into it we could create a stable equal society.

I meant specifically: what in your life convinced you that an egalitarian society is impossible? Why have you given up on that idea if you say you want it too?

Wish I could help ya, but it looks like ya don't wanna be convinced. How do I respond to such a general dismissal? You give me too much to do.

I don't think your confusion is justification for ending the programs. I think the government needs to be more transparent, but I don't think we need to gut it first. I don't think gutting it is going to make it more transparent. Why shoot in the dark?

What do you mean by "all this shit". Do you mean you want to understand the entire federal budget?

What made you give up?
