Alain de Botton - The News - A Users Manual
The News: Worst Show on the Internet. Let's agree. Emotional reactions. Pretending to be above the News/make useful comments
Looking for a hit of fear: The Age, The ABC, New York Times, Washington Goddamn Post + coffee
The Economist: magazine okay, online not so much. Speculations about escalation, nuclear war, the apocalypse. It gives Joe nerves
Putin is the Devil/Messiah/just a naughty boy/a rational actor. Depends who you ask (don't ask Alex Jones).
Read wikipedia instead. I use the app
News/adrenaline junkies just wanna know reality. Doesn't matter. Real reality is waiting. Take a walk. Bill Hicks tells you how it is re: the News
Many smart people don't read the news. And they could tell there wouldn't be a nuclear war.
Excitement and possibility = flip side of anxiety and fear. To feel a threat is to feel alive= = riding a bike through traffic on high alert can feel quite life affirming
It's ok to want to feel alive. If you're not nervous, you're probably not emotionally engaged
Permission to play cricket. Go the Royal Park Reds, Australia's only socialist cricket team?
Chores ain't necessarily bores - Alan Watts says you only ever do one dish, so stop hating it, put on nineties hip hop, mate, and enjoy reality, there's kind of nowhere else to go. Doing chores mindfully helps feel okay with life, and feel sane. Clean your environment, clean the self
Chaitanya, gender bending Hindu mystic from 500 yrs ago - let's abolish caste, class, religion, ethnicity, gender etc
The apocalypse is not for 5000 years (no, soz 426,877 years left in Kali Yuga).
"Two old men with nuclear buttons? Been there done that" - Vanillatary
Moral outrage. Joining Twitter mobs back when they were cool. Sorry about that
We're in a golden age inside a dark age. Get that into you
You don't need a rats tail to be a Hari these days
Religion <-> conspiracy theories
Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (Gauranga) - Vishnu (Krishna)'s avatar, incarnated as their own female + male energy, + their own servant, at the same time
Become a Hare Krishna, or Become Nobody like Ram Dass
Hare Krishnas, boarding school, parents, feeling abandoned
Double Asteroid Redirection Test
The Precipice, Toby Ord
Musical theme by boy genius Ehsan Gelsi
