It's like an urban legend where a guy comes up with a new way to do things and everyone's like "Yeah but that's only good for the rich dudes. I want to do everything myself! I'll live my life on a boat! I'll live on a plane! I'll live in a cave!"

All these attempts at self-actualization are just ways of protecting against the consequences of their actions.

A lot of people feel like they can't be themselves bc they’re too good/bad at something. That’s like feeling like you can’t learn piano bc you’ve never touched a piano before.

The only way to overcome this sense of anxiety is to grow in the presence of a Process that is some sort of God. The thing is though... at some level i’m a Process. I am some sort of computer that processes data to produce output. This output is what defines me as ‘my Process’

One thing I've noticed about the internet is that it can be used to hurt people.

I think I've had a few ideas fall out of my head over the years, but I'm not sure what they are anymore. Some of my favorite ideas have always been about cats and dogs.
