Pratchett's "Brownian motion of society" theory stays winning. #Discworld

It was later said that he came under a bad influence at this stage. But the secret of the history of Edward d'Eath was that he came under no outside influence at all, unless you count those dead kings. He just came under the influence of himself.
That's where people get it wrong. Individuals aren't naturally paid-up members of the human race, except biologically. They need to be bounced around by the Brownian motion of society, which is a mechanism by which human beings constantly remind one another that they are... well... human beings. He was also spiraling inwards, as tends to happen in cases like this.
Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms (Discworld, #15; City Watch, #2)

Just gonna keep suggesting this: We are letting bad people set our information agenda when we talk about them all the time.

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing."

John Galt 2025 replies: "Move if the cost of living is too high."

Girls, my husband just tossed this in my lap and told me it was the worst true crime he'd ever read. I tried to explain it's erotica and he doesn't believe me! Says it's too gross to be sexy .

Tomorrow I have to log onto my WFH job to face the coworkers I tried to tell "see you soon!" only I got flustered because I *don't* often see them and changed it halfway through to "see you never!" 😳 My life is a Brian Regan skit.

They are not marketing hate; they are marketing fear and selling hate as the solution.

I hope that Sir Terry Pratchett somehow knows how much "you do the job that's in front of you" has done to keep my life duct taped together at times.

"Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry." Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time

I don’t know if this is Wyatt Russell or not, but everyone—from celebrities to politicians—should follow his lead. He stood in LA & told the military the truth: they’re on the wrong side of history. You weren’t sworn to serve a wannabe dictator. You swore to defend the Constitution & we the people.

This is the thesis of Francis Fukuyama's Origins of Political Order - that states only flourish to the degree the can keep the rich in check. Eunuchs, Janissaries, civil service exams, monasteries, Mamluks are all strategies states have used to keep rich people from influencing politics.

Also there is some transcendental gap between the banality of evil and the truly otherworldly pain and suffering that evil causes and idk if any philosopher has ever really been able to do more than point out how scary that gap is.
