I tried to find a way to donate the rare books to libraries but could not get anyone to even consider authorizing that. 030 3

technophobester.bsky.social @technophobester.bsky.social · 19/06/2026A fun thing to do is to read a thing a politician says, quickly check Wikipedia about the subject, and then lambast the person for how stupid they are and (this is important) PARAPHRASE not QUOTE Wikipedia as evidence that you, person with a smartphone, understands everything. 020 2
technophobester.bsky.social @technophobester.bsky.social · 19/06/2026I previously lambasted the man who did the thing. I did some research (I saw a post on social media) and predicted he would do the thing, and that it would be bad. Well, he did the thing and guess what? It was bad! If only I had more reach I could have saved us from the bad thing. 010 1
technophobester.bsky.social @technophobester.bsky.social · 09/06/2026I don’t think that’s what they are doing. They really believe the Yarvin-Thiel ideology, and think that liberal folks only believe what they do because they have been watching liberal biased news. They think if they feed people their brand of news, everyone will join the reich. 2131 13

technophobester.bsky.social @technophobester.bsky.social · 25/03/2026This is an incredibly stressful way to live, and almost every single human lives this way. The mind attempts to solve the problem of how to make a pendulum swing only one way. This is of course impossible. 100 1

technophobester.bsky.social @technophobester.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Thoughts about light and love, no matter how the mind tries to perpetuate them, swing to thoughts about cruelty and darkness when the effort to maintain them dips, leading to increased effort to maintain, and harder swings back and forth. 100 1
technophobester.bsky.social @technophobester.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Thinking about power and control always and inevitably leads to thinking about powerlessness and victimhood, inevitably leading to more thoughts of power and control to regain the preferred feeling, leading to more paranoid thoughts about loss of control and victimhood.

technophobester.bsky.social @technophobester.bsky.social · 25/03/2026There is a basic truth about the way humans think that is universal, easily observed, and explains human behavior, but is ignored. We could call it the pendulum of duality. 100 1
