If we are considering my side of the argument that the world is screwed deeply to the bone because we cannot stop making hysterical decisions that waste our resources and ruin our habitat. But if you are considering the alternative, there is the ridiculous amount of time spent thinking about a project before actually starting…
I made a short film this morning. I’m really getting tired of doing this but I made a short film this morning. It’s a film about my neighbor’s story to the police when I brutally attacked her arbitrarily and without notice. I was thinking last night about Being Had. This is the book I wrote…
1420 interview is not dead. This is the problem with social media in general. You get good at something, people notice who you are and suddenly you’re making important decisions. The truth is you were always making important decisions when you were working in anonymity. If now you’re somebody, well, that’s cool. But I don’t…
If mulch is all you need and grass has sufficient everything, let’s do it. So we take down all of the plants that have grown tall with us that are not particularly our food and we put them on top of the gardens as soil amendment. We can let them dry for a few days….
Hi. Good to see you. I’m glad you came. We don’t really bother with the press normally because it’s so completely unnecessary. We exist in the fabric of this community and this community has been a part of this cafe for 200 years. Can you imagine that? 200 years. The Utopian! is not only aware…
A question came up regarding whether or not what might be seen as toxic male behavior could exist in a utopian society. To define utopian society for this essay, we are simply talking about a 100% sustainable, generally agrarian in nature, community of a specific number of people. They find their symbiotic relationship with the…
From Chabad.org: Va’etchanan in a NutshellDeuteronomy 3:23–7:11. The name of the Parshah, “Va’etchanan,” means “I entreated”. Moses tells the people of Israel how he implored G‑d to allow him to enter the Land of Israel, but G‑d refused, instructing him instead to ascend a mountain and see the Promised Land. Continuing his “review of the…
Originally published October 13, 2023 I’m just doing some random mental architecture here. I am on the balcony of my old apartment in town and I am looking down at the sea of automobiles in the yard below. And what I tried to get straight in my head was what would happen if they declared…
In the Torah, if you read some of the dialogues between Moses and Pharaoh as Moses is trying to let his people go, if you read it as a pragmatic gift of 600,000 people so that little Jewish brother can start his own state, you can see that Pharaoh is making sure that Moses knows…
From Chabad. Org – Korach in a Nutshell: Numbers 16:1–18:32 The name of the Parshah, “Korach,” refers to Korach, head of the (political coalition) against Moses and Aaron. Korach incites a (political discussion) regarding Moses’ leadership and the granting of the kehunah (The right of debate) to Aaron. He is accompanied by Moses’ inveterate (critics),…
From chabad.org: Emor in a NutshellLeviticus 21:1–24:23The name of the Parshah, “Emor,” means “speak” and it is found in Leviticus 21:1. The Torah section of Emor (“Speak”) begins with the special laws pertaining to the kohanim (“priests”), the kohen gadol (“high priest”), and the Temple service: A kohen may not become ritually impure through contact…
When speaking about my teaching career working with Russian speakers, I always say that there are two parts to the history. The time before the Russians arrived and the time after. The Russians are bullies. There is no other way to say it. You can say Nazi. That’s an irony right there. But they are…
It is for a male and interesting thought to dwell on. Exactly how long do we need a mother? It might also be worth asking if the answer is no whether or not we need a mother from time to time? Or is it just that sometimes we need a mother and sometimes we don’t?…
No. This is not the way we do this. This is not a popularity contest. There is a big difference between democratically electing leaders and having a schoolyard popularity contest. They are two completely separate entities. One is where we challenge the boundaries of our common sense to come to agreement about how to be…
To your security team at discover card I am requesting that you immediately unlock my account and allow me full access to my funds. You have walked me through a labyrinth of unnecessary attention questioning my identity. Along the way, I have passed your electronic test six times, four of which in your presence. I…
Playing with my phone here at 3:00 a.m. and it seems I have a new assistant. They say it’s name is Gemini. On the internet exactly the last few days were jokes from Saturday night live about Scarlett Johansson. I’m in love with her. It’s true. Actually, I’m not really in love with the 40-year-old…
My fellow human beings it gives me unbelievable pleasure to even have a single person in this world believe that they would give up their rights for unlimited freedom so that I should be some kind of leader. Or even the leader. Precedence has been set. Menachem Began. Golda Maier. Colonel Gaddafi. Which future kingdom…
Here we have a simple Google search. Sometimes you just have to ask a question in order to get an answer. I think it’s a boat this more than anything. Teaching English is kind of strange in this way that people don’t really understand that a language is not just made of statements. You can…
According to multiple sources, the Russians have transported several nuclear warheads to the territory of Belarus. The idea is that they should be available in case the need to nuke Ukraine becomes the only viable way to get their point across. European press as always tries to diminish fear amongst the people who read their…
Is Donald Trump competent? I decided to start by googling this concept because generally speaking, Google is pretty honest to my mind. There is the commercial aspect of the world and how much space that controls in our bandwidth. But the general algorithm does seem to believe that the world is better believing in ecology…
Forget about modern Life. Let’s just say we go camping and we are next to a river that’s running very quickly. You can smell the water and see a lot of life I suppose. Or maybe it’s in the mountains and it’s very very cold. Take a little drink. I bet it’s really good. Not…
