Best Of

Here’s a few of my favorite posts from recent years

The Poem Weaver - A love letter to a woman who changed my life, highlighting the beauty she's creating in her life.

How To Believe False Things - A quick explanation of how one can go nearly 40 years believing something ridiculously absurd without noticing.

WarHammer Is For Romantics - The beauty of hope.

Of Cowards And Grandmas - - A contemplation of our duty to society to protect it from threats we are privately aware of when there are no social institutions that can address them. Specifically the threat of my schizophrenic brother.

The Peace of Westphalia and the War on Christmas - an argument that classical liberalism neutered religion as a Vital Force, that New Atheism finally euthanized it, and that -- since people need a Vital Force to have lives of meaning -- wokism rushed in to fill that void and create the quasi-religious ideology we have now.

Children Believe Every Lie - an argument that autistic-leaning people believe things that "Everyone Knows" aren't actually true because they have a hard time seeing the difference between an "aspirational truth" and a lie, so they interpret "aspirational truths" as just actual true statements. And that the autistic-leaning folks are the ones in the right here and society should change to not lie so damn much.

Goliath Fallen - a meditation on killing in war.

The Real Fanfic Is The Friends We Made Along The Way - One of my favorite short stories written by me. An ASI that’s almost aligned discovers something is deeply wrong with humanity.

The Time I Failed To Join A Cult - About the time I failed at cult-joining.

Money Is Life - I mean this literally. It took partial disability to realize the truth of it. Demand that the sacrifice is worth it.
