Get Mad

What's the use of getting angry? What's the use of going online and reading the news and getting angry?

The use is that I know the news. If I go online and read about what's happening and get angry that's because that's the emotion you feel. When you see that kind of heinous injustice you think that you can't believe that they can just do that and everyone shrugs it off.

You feel like you were told your whole life that this is the worst thing that someone can do but then they all do it. And we're just supposed to shrug.

You don't want to believe how many people can just abandon their principles without a shred of guilt.

But I'm also thinking about Bugonia. Talking about morality as narrative. I think that's why we need to think bigger. It's not just these guys. It's the mindset. The mind virus. The thought patterns that keep people thinking that they only exist as a singular self and not the sum total of their influence. Get mad because it should make you mad. But get mad because you'd rather learn and get mad than not learn at all. But take a step back and consider the long term too. It's better to nudge in the right direction rather than slam into the current.

I think I'm just trying to say that you should allow yourself space to feel things but understand that you need to keep looking at the landscape.

Today's music is Andrew Bird. 30mg. That's not too bad. I took a god damn that's a weird feeling. "You'll know when it happens" is a strong trigger. It all just shwoops in and everything flips. The game flips on and you perceive differently.

So the idea is to create a separate self right? So I don't always remember what I've told you or whoever. Anyway. These sorts of psychonautics are mixed with psychology to good effect. The key is to learn to go with it instead of thinking about questioning it. Hence the game framing.

Pretend you're human.
