when i bring up libertarian issues and ppl are like 'aella u r stupid', it feels to me like im like 'hey i know you're really sick in bed but it looks like ur bedroom has toxic mold, maybe you should get out of bed' and they're like 'you don't want me to recover? you cruel idiot'

Like, my recommends don't come out of isolation! This feels super important - I'm not like "Yes, let's take this thing you're doing to help and just stop that. For no reason. Because I'm an idiot"

My views here feel like they come from an attempt to fix much, much deeper problems; getting out of bed when you're sick might suck and make recovery slower, but *not being exposed to toxic mold* will make recovery faster, and if u cant see the mold it won't make sense to you.

And I'm not saying I'm definitely right; there's a lot of judgment calls to be made in where and how to fix deeper toxic mold problems, but I feel strongly principled in the method of the thing; if the problem is too deep to be obvious, then the solution will be counterintuitive.

While I'm a libertarian socialist now, I was a libertarian capitalist when I was younger. It certainly doesn't seem stupid to me. I simply had to downgrade that view over time as I was exposed to various things. No opinion is intrinsically stupid, epistemology is really hard.

Mad is more simple and meaningful than solutions to most.

This reminds me that I'm pretty sure there's toxic mold next to my bed but I don't have the energy to solve it and I keep falling asleep. This has been pretty much the main thing happening in my life for a few years.
