Idea for a new world: each individual has sole responsibility for one Societal Component (SC). An SC can be anything from a library to a traffic light. If you screw up, you're given a second chance - after that, a third chance, and so on

I don't think I can do that yet. I'm experiencing Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). My Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is acting up. I can't do that just yet. I probably shouldn't try that... not till my Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is taken care of.

My opinion, as someone who hasn't done a lot of job interviews but has done a few, is basically that you can sometimes get a job out of them and sometimes not

My job is to sit down and enter "Now?" into a computer terminal, which randomly responds "No" or "Yes". I repeat this task for nine hours a day, and twice a month they pay me for the number of Yeses I got. I am quite skilled at this and often speak at professional seminars. Lately I've been very sad

You can never be "on" a website. You are "on" this beautiful earth. The website is "inside" of you. You "are" the website. I'd appreciate it if you could understand this by our next quarterly check-in

As people become more concerned about hyper-palatable foods, I believe a market will arrive for hyper-unpalatable foods. Driftwood, ceramic, animal fur. We tried a pilot with dirt but the kids were actually too excited to eat it

My love, I hope this letter finds you well. Things go nicely at the bog, and the other men are in good spirits. They say if we place our nets right we'll return with bog crabs enough for the county. But I confess, at times I suffer a sinister melancholy; I've taken to prodding the crabs with a stick

People are always using the urinal as a trash can. Spitting gum into it. Empty snack wrappers. Last time I looked, I saw a feeble, sniveling creature. It peered up at me, it called me father. Walking it down the aisle was the most rewarding experience of my life

Instead of poisoning the ants, I let them discover that there's nothing for them here. They ate their fill, and over time a small sect came to realize that craving cannot be satiated. They now trail in and skillfully criticize my understanding of the Dharma. I place crumbs in their tiny wooden bowls

Me: So, yeah, I'd say the mango basically approaches "favorite fruit" territory for me Guy interviewing me in my imagination: That's incredible. And you say this because you're eating one now? Me: Exactly. I invented you—gave you mind-birth—for that reason. This habit is one of my many perversions

I vow to tell the truth, the whole truth, and some additional minutae alongside the truth, I think that kind of thing is important, for the presentation of it all, the story, because this is my first time as a witness, you know, or maybe that was a lie, you see how engaging this sort of thing is

Kind bar, protein, dark chocolate nut. Four bites to finish, three is doable, two would draw too much attention. Tear open the package, peel it to the side. Try to make it all appear mindless. Be present, live a gracious life, drop the wrapper into the closest appropriate bin

2025 rankings just came in: "talks" are still preferred over "discussions", but "conversations" beat them both out. We see a marked improvement in "chats", just like last year, while "back-and-forths" are at an all-time low.

My newest novel has two characters: Observational Capacity and Goal-Striving Mechanism. It's a story about trust, love, and compromise: 300 uninterrupted pages describing how Observational Capacity beats Goal-Striving Mechanism senseless with hard, blunt objects. At the end, they both die

Screenshot of three drafts.

First one is:
Me? I'm a PR guy. Remember the Publix dinosaur? Well, he got canceled on the everything app for what he said about the transcontinental railroad in that interview. Bad move, man. They canceled him on the everything app

Second one is:
CHILLING (Mandela Effect): No One Remembers The Publix Dinosaur Getting Canceled On The Everything App For What He Said About The Transcontinental Railroad In That Interview

Third one is:
Our product is a snack made of potato starch. It has no name, we don't call it anything, nothing on the bag, it's not in the stores. We're banned for canceling the Publix dinosaur on the everything app. It doesn't have a taste or smell. In a 2016 interview he was being weird about the transcontinental railroad

We were all inventing chemicals in the lab. Someone made a juice that bubbles and fizzes. I studied my beaker and saw it held not juice but a man, tiny and round of face, briefcase in hand. He climbed out and over to a bench one of the others had conjured. A miniscule bus arrived and took him away

When my small, evil roommate (lived in the walls) moved out, she brought the insulation with her, and the floors, and the foundation and the building. I wandered the desert for years. It's only by the grace of the Machine that I'm here now, shrunken and creeping the walls to turn this morbid wheel

No, I don't do drugs, but I know the junkie's mind. When I help a wounded animal, that's like a drug to me. Exercising my civic duty in the voting booth is a hit of the strongest dope. Lastly, a rush like no other, is being role model to three charming and obedient nephews

Ancient Wisdom has fallen into desuetude; ignorance and folly pervade the public. We will fix this by creating a system of tradable property rights over Wisdom Artefacts to distribute Wisdom decision-making to stakeholders. And enforcing these rights with summary violence.
