Christmas season is tiring 😴

Sadly though I feel like shit. Can’t even be happy now that I’m mostly done.

Got something accomplished today. A big part of a project. Which is good.

The more I think about it, the more I realize my mindset for thinking and figuring stuff out in design, is very much the same as that of a programmer

Žižek:

"Marx’s insight remains fully valid: this inclusion/exclusion is overdetermined by the fundamental social antagonism (“class struggle”), which, for that very reason, can never be adequately translated into the form of democratic competition."

There it is again, that funny feeling
That funny feeling

The future scares me sometimes

I have too many interests…

Melancholic for who I once was, right in the midst of holiday season

I hate feeling off when I feel like I’m supposed to be happy and jolly

“I am where I think not.”
- Jacques Lacan

“I always speak the truth. Not the whole truth, because there's no way, to say it all. Saying it all is literally impossible: words fail. Yet it's through this very impossibility that the truth holds onto the real.”

- Jacques Lacan

Disorientation

Drink water? But Thales said everything was water. I don’t need water, I am water, and so is everything else.

Got a new phone for the first time in like half a decade… phone cameras have much improved since 2017

Lacan am Morgen …

Santa is the Signifier or symbolic representation of Capitalism as God. A reflection of Marx’s quote “All that is solid melts into air” as Santa brings material gifts via magic. The epitome of commodity fetishism. Objects become transcendent through Santa just as capitalism. In this essay I will…

Been looking into a lot of Mystics as of recent, and it’s really crazy how some of the concepts connect to the philosophy or even psychoanalytic theory I read.

Not stuff like “reincarnation” but the sort of Not-being in being itself, etc. Very interesting crossover.

Lips are dry, head hurts, worried sickness may be on its way

To add to the poor luck today some ass threw a beer full force into my trash can making it splash all over my door, doormat, the floor and walls, and pool all in my trashcan.

I hate living in a college town.

I am the most unlucky person when it comes to getting nails in my tires. In the past 2-3 years I’ve probably gotten like 10

I read about a 3rd of the book I’m reading yesterday. I’m back baby

“Most men are subjective toward themselves and objective toward all others, frightfully objective sometimes – but the task is precisely to be objective toward oneself and subjective toward all others.”

Bluesky is actually the best site to combat echo chambers, because of custom feeds.

Algorithms on most social media are what create echo chambers. Here you control of that.

Same with outrage, others use algorithms to enrage you when you log on, to keep you interacting. Here you control that.

Moving to Bluesky from twitter is like when you move from High School to University. You can reinvent yourself here, you can start over in a sense.

Good thing I’m on Vyvanse lmaooo

Fuck off RFK Jr.

I miss you ❤️
