Befriend the best people you can. Don’t hope for good or high-quality ones. They don’t exist. People are scum. And this is a Dark Age, which makes them worse.
Our world is profoundly irrational, illiberal, abnormal, unhealthy, and unhappy. So are all the people in it. You yourself are too.
Objective goodness and greatness don’t exist. Everyone is a crushing disappointment to everyone else. Human nature and nurture today make people really low. So just try hard to track down and win over the best people you can, scumbag.
Brief discussion between Ryan Smith and myself on MeWe.com:
ReplyDeleteRS: I think that overall the world is getting better though. Despite of all the problems.
KZ: RS -- I think so too. Barely. But the Woke folk continue to rise.
RS: There are setbacks, but still better. Medical care is advancing and technology makes our lives easier.
KZ: RS -- Wealth, health, science, and tech continue to rise, which is good. Epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, politics, esthetics, and spirituality seem to be in decline. This last group is far the most powerful in determining happiness, I think.

ReplyDeleteKB: Well. That was dark.
KZ: KB -- Yep. But is it true? ��
KB: Well, not where I live. YMMV, of course.
