I think I’m reaching new levels of hopelessness. The ironic thing here is that the actual hopelessness comes from my relationship to people who never stop looking at me instead of listening to what I say. It’s like dealing with My 50th generation alcoholic cat who won’t stop masturbating every time he sees me because…
Hi. Technically speaking, I am the guy. I’m the guy people wait for and are afraid of. I’m the guy who creates jealousy in our simple-minded opposition. We have opposition who exists simply to be opposing. They don’t listen and they don’t think and they don’t act wisely. They love pageantry. They love dress up….
Well-known and highly accredited scientists have recently discovered a connection between the dreaded Parkinson’s disease and not doing a fucking thing about it. At a well funded yet highly secret laboratory, a band of pesky but will meaning scientists have found that physically taxing your muscles to their extreme creates a calmness that otherwise would…
From Chabad.org: Naso in a Nutshell (Numbers 4:21–7:89) The name of the Parshah, “Naso,” means “Count” and it is found in Numbers 4:22. Completing the headcount of the Children of Israel taken in the Sinai Desert, a total of 8,580 Levite men between the ages of 30 and 50 are counted in a tally of…
Vlad Putin on Greta. It is not that he doesn’t respect young people or ideas of sustainability, it is just that the world is too complex to be understood by little girls. And of course, there is the cost of things. This is the essence of what bureaucratic double talk tends to be. I could…
The truth is that I made it through about 3 minutes before giving up on it. Everyone knows what I’m talking about but I guess if you want to watch again, here is the link. I don’t buy the narrative. It’s not even the debate itself but the packaging. The excitement of it all. Key…
Theo du Plessis is a minimalist. We are surrounded by the stuff that we think is so valuable and important, but take it all away and what is left? The real you is left. Or at least the journey to the real you without all the stuff that you think defines you. In this video,…
It seems that we have a problem with Saturdays being recognized as the Sabbath. It seems it is difficult for baseball to take Saturday’s off because the traditional days off of workers would be Saturday and Sunday and of course the nature of baseball is to sell tickets and advertising and whatever else goes along…
Thinking of growing things in my field, I’ve come to understand what has happened to the region over the last couple of decades. Perhaps 15 years ago, we had a similar place in a similar village a similar distance away. And I remember being able to put things in the ground and they would grow….
It’s hard to say. Pretty much everything in the world is a little good and a little bad. Nothing is truly wonderful and nothing is genuinely so horrible. Well, there are some pretty horrible things with very little good in them and unfortunately, very few truly beautiful things that are not sullied in some way….
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…
Phaedrus simply isn’t having it this evening. Hillel feels the need to explain himself again as is usually the case. Thus, the apothecary shop is either drawing or chasing away customers as the argument goes. There is a small silence and then phaedress makes his opening jab. So these are the words that come into…
Pre-fight First of all, I’m not sure if this is a significant cultural event or just a demonstration of the power of social media. The problem as a sporting event is that this particular influencer is known for his pranks. Literally, it would seem that we are about to be pranked. It’s like a giant…
From Chabad.org – Devarim in a NutshellDeuteronomy 1:1–3:22The name of the Parshah, “Devarim,” means “the words” and it is found in Deuteronomy 1:1. On the first of Shevat (thirty-seven days before his passing), Moses begins his repetition of the Torah to the assembled children of Israel, reviewing the events that occurred and the laws that…
I think this is a question that we have to ask ourselves first. Okay, I understand that there is outrage to strike outwardly. We have to do harm to the people who have harmed us! But that’s a false path. And truly, do you really want to premeditatively stalk someone? Do you want to retain…
It was a simple argument. What the leader was recommending as a lifestyle for himself and all of his celebrity would only make absolute insanity of our lives. The more he asked us to be like him, the more horrible life became for everybody. The people simply have to live separate from royalty and it’s…
They say it’s -1 right now but it’s very clear. Not a cloud in the sky. I didn’t feel like sitting inside anymore. I was feeling antsy all over my body and just wanted to go outside. I’ll be honest with you, it’s hard for me to go outside. The damage done by the neighbors…
It’s a funny thing how people judge each other. It’s very very complicated. It’s so complicated that no one really knows how to do it except those who seem to try really hard and really succeed or just succeed because they’re young and beautiful and they can make absolutely nothing look good. But that is…
Perhaps itself annihilation. But why would this be? Why would saying what you think or what you feel have anything to do with destruction? Well, there are politics of course. And we don’t live in a fair world. We have lots and lots of mafia to deal with all the time and their number just…
Eikev in a NutshellDeuteronomy 7:12–11:25The name of the Parshah, “Eikev,” means “because,”. In the Parshah of Eikev (“Because”), Moses continues his closing address to the children of Israel, promising them that if they will fulfill the commandments (mitzvot) of the Torah, they will prosper in the Land they are about to conquer and settle in…
