When robbed at gun point, it is advisable to hand over your valuables, except if you’re a politician. Then you can send your young to die for you.

Some people might think that I’d grow tired of being the voice of reason.

They’ll come around eventually, even if it requires another Enlightenment.

Let’s just pretend that we’re normal people and that paradox and ambiguity are a part of life.

I’m left handed; I can’t reach the like button.

If you think my posts are sloppy, stay away from my books.
December 7, 2025 at 12:42 AM
I see the stats on your low effort posts; looks like you’re trying too hard.

I used to be a high achiever.

Who would have thought cleaning up my act would also wipe out my ambition?

The less we talk about something the sonner it goes away.

Over the years I’ve perfected sarcasm without the intonation.

Enough of your passive-aggressive likes already!

There’s a line between low-effort and effortless posts that’s neither thin, blurry nor drawn in the sand.

I’m aware you haven’t yet had the chance to miss me and yet I came back already!

Language allows an almost infinite set of combinations of words, and I choose to spend my days here.

It’s another day, and I insist on making the most of it.
December 6, 2025 at 9:21 AM
Am I doing this because I’m bored or am I just procrastinating?
December 6, 2025 at 12:01 AM
I’m writing this to please those of you who read posts without engaging with them.

Just like the good old days!

In the quantum consciousness model, my thoughts are in a superposition until I express them after which we both collapse.

They say life is short, and yet I can’t remember when I realised that posting is less about sharing ideas and more about validating my own sense of self-importance.

I’m definitely on the right path.

Until I turn around, that is.

Then I’m on the left path.

Making provocative remarks and disabling replies is a high form of passive aggressive behaviour.

Is it me or did we used to have predictive text? If so why has it been replaced with this slop?

When the future becomes uncertain, reactionary forces redouble their strength.

If I had known others would go out of their way to stop me from doing what I want to do in life, because they don’t accept competition, I would have stayed in the womb.

Email is like coffee: there needs to be a cutoff point in the day to ensure healthy sleep.
