    That's not shaved. It's mange.

    I find I appreciate Bach more and more with time. His music is just so clean and technical. It is the sound of mastery and confidence without vulgur "epicness".

    People make fun of paleolithic man speech "grug no talk well", but they probably spoke better than us. Compare for example the first dialogue in Beowulf the poem to the modern movie of the same scene:

    I was eating out, but then I realized you can get more nutrition and protein at whole foods for $5 than you can get for $30 at a restraunt.

    To map power and legitimize it is to subordinate it to a higher teleology. It transmutes from raw power to a privilege and a duty.

    The future you wanted vs the future you got. Something is happening here, and I don't know what it is.

    Your viscerally felt cosmic geometry is important. Go find a dark place, beyond civilization, where you can see the stars. I mean *really* see them. Lie down. Look up. Remember: you are not looking up, you are gently pulled back against a space rock, looking *out*.

    Huxley got the bird-dino connection right in 1868, but it was sidelined for the next hundred years. Modern science is often just rediscovering stuff they knew in the 19th century that we forgot about because the methods went out of vogue.

    You would be wrong to peg Lovecraft as a mere reactionary against everything foreign and alien. He starts there, but boldly delves into the horror to look for more robust identity. For example: how he eventually identifies five sided ancient aliens as fundamentally brother men.

    Cosmic horror is Lovecraft's personal philosophical struggle with New England's, and therefore man's, transience and irrelevance in an ancient world that will gradually grind away all hope and familiarity.

    But the New England familiarity, challenged by modernity, is itself a recent and transient encroachment on a much older and more alien world. This is another theme in Lovecraft's work: the transience of man's works compared to the unfathomable age of our surroundings.

    An under-appreciated aspect of Lovecraft's work: old New England nostalgia. Many of his stories deal with the beauty and familiarity of that heritage, and his struggle with encroaching modernity and foreignness. This is his inspirational model for cosmic horror.

    I really hate how ignorant geeks have reduced HP Lovecraft's aesthetic to such a narrow aspect of his work. Lovecraft is about a lot more than cosmic horror, and cosmic horror is about a lot more than darkness, tentacles, and monsters from Outside.

    I'd forgotten how good Beethoven is. The 7th symphony is powerful.

    My thoughts on deradicalization, and participation in functional social structure, and the inextricable linkage between them. From:

    Beauty is underrated and misunderstood.

    Unlike other rich cities, San Francisco nouveau-riche don't even have the common decency to drive supercars to give the rest of us something to nice to look at. Just yet another Tesla, dirty hoodie, and allbirds. How are we supposed to look up to that?
