sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

When You're Bored, You're Being Shaped.

Boredom isn’t the absence of stimulation. It’s a test. Of what you reach for. Of what you default to.

Do you grab your phone? Or a pen? Do you scroll? Or sit with your thoughts? Do you numb? Or build?

Because what you do when you're bored becomes who you are when you're not.

Boredom is a doorway. To creativity. To clarity. To the things you keep avoiding.

Stop escaping it.

My liver’s perfect. My kidneys are divine. My glucose is… a little dramatic. We’re waiting on more tests. And I’m being very brave about it.

Best advice I received:

If you overthink, Write.

If you underthink, Read.

and that is all.

Great discussions

AMAZING! A 90 year old Holocaust survivor confronted Trump's ICE director.

What a legend.

I have used a phrase since the very beginning of this plandemic. "Technocratic totalitarianism" because this perfectly describes the age in which we have entered. Like religious institutions, when someone has complete control over the minds of millions, they become more and more despotic, more sociopathic and truly believe their own bs. With that confidence comes followers that are too weak to think for themselves or unable to because of the mass hypnosis that takes place when the reptile brain takes control.

I'm glad some brave people with actual expertise in various sciences like Dr. Malone, Dr. McCullough, and Dr. Desmit have helped me fill in some of the gaps of my knowledge in their respective fields.

I wrote a piece called Technocratic totalitarianism here on substack because people like Dr Malone have made me realize the more of us that speak up, the less likely this attempt to implement global totalitarianism will come to fruition.

This is the real danger. Not terrorists on another continent, or an engineered virus. My biggest concern is what will these oligarchs do if this shift into totalitarianism doesn't work. What will be released from these labs that they've been cooking up for decades if we do not comply?
