Lemonade

Critical Thinking and Biden

My friend Pat, on Trump:
"He's boastful, conceited, rude, just like a spoiled rich kid.  But he is President so let's try to make lemonade."   I said I was ignoring him, and that I don't watch tv, anyway.   Sara said, you should have responded, "it's hard to think like that when 60k people died a month."  I told them, Biden is the lemonade.

The US (coronavirus pandemic) confirmed case count went over a million, yesterday.  And there have been more deaths (in the US) than the number of (US soldier) casualties in Vietnam.
    Worldwide, there have been over 3 million cases.
     218,182 deaths, and counting.  921,000 recoveries.
58,318 u.s. armed forces died in Vietnam.
(1 million, 450 thousand casualties in the war, all sides.)

no atheists in foxholes?
   that's not true.  there are lots!
   what's happening is Hope.  A thought, a calculation:  If, Then.
        IF there is a Higher Power, THEN keep me alive
    soldiers might be better off preparing than praying.
    but hope is helpful!

Trump does nothing but lie.
false, misleading - mostly false, totally false, or pants on fire false.
Thank God for the Media, and the Internet, for fact-checking, critical thinking, and truth.  There's a wikipedia page devoted to "veracity of statements by Donald Trump."
He tells an average of 15 falsehoods/day.
According to politifact, 70% of his campaign statements were F or M.
He doesn't deserve media coverage.  He is a source of (almost nothing but) disinformation.

If there's lemonade to be found in this lemon, it's the need for Critical Thinking...  and the collective sigh of relief, upon the election of Joseph R. Biden.

A Different Setting

I like being alone.  I don’t want to continue having roommates.  I enjoy peace and quiet.  I like being left alone.  I like privacy.  I like being right, alone.  I want a studio.  If not this one, then one like it.  I want this one, honestly.  It’s amazing.  I would enjoy starting over, here: Getting rid of most of my clothes, most of my belongings, and doing my old routine in this new space.  Exercise, reading the news, writing my blog, reading books, listening to music, walking dogs, and visiting my family.  There are some new things here I might enjoy, too: the apple tv with netflix, this unexplored neighborhood, and sf nightlife.  Daylife.  I only want friends.  I’m not looking to be in any other kind of relationship.  If it happens, it happens.   

I can exercise at a gym, or inside my own living quarters.  I like to swim, yoga, and hike.  I can immerse in martial arts and self-defense books, videos; and maybe train with experienced teachers.  I can wake early and be a disciplined bodybuilder.  It’s not too late.  Maybe I should jog a bit, too.  Sweat! Every day.  That’s a pretty good rule of thumb, I think.  I’m after improvement, not just maintenance.

I can read news, and olds, ha.  Daily history, and history books, biographies, anything.  What’s new?  Besides me?  I can read the ny times, the economist, the cs monitor, time magazine, wikipedia, yahoo, the onion.  Listen to my daily flash briefing.   Spanish news (la opinion, online), or spanish language radio from anywhere on earth.  Hopefully, the world will improve with me, as I improve - mentally, physically, socially.  Sanity, strength and fitness, friendships with family and others, and keeping healthy.   If I’m sane, then I should be able to work and earn good money, doing something I enjoy (love?).  That would be something.   But I enjoy myself now.  I'm not very ambitious.

The libraries in SF are exceptional.  I would be happy, however, with most any library, truth told.  Plus, libraries these days can order almost anything, from Link+, or whatever.   The internet could keep me busy forever, too, I realize, with its own content.  I could surf google questions, ted, arts and letters, J! archive, wikipedia, blogs, poetry, philosophy, almost anything, really.  But solid paper books will always be close to perfect.  I could work from home.  I could be a professional cuddler.  I could try it, anyway. 

Music?  My amazon echo is great, here.  Better than the tv.  And I can listen with my headphones, too.  The tv might be nice, once in awhile, but I don’t need it.  I like national geographic videos, documentaries, some comedy, an occasional movie.  But books are better.  I might want to get noise-cancelling headphones.

I don’t know what the demand for Wag! walks is, around here.  If I had a car, I could go further to provide walks.  My ebike is good.   I mean, my range is further than just walking, of course.  I don’t need to own a dog.  Maybe some day.  I’m happy just being there for the Wagsters.  

Mom and dad are nearby.  Greg and Liz and Ben and Declan.  Vicki and Erin and Dan and Esme and Summer, and Patrick.  Rose Marie, and Jeannine.  It’s good to have a support system, network, whatever.  Like Michelle and Shawn, come to think of it.  And of course, Julie and Sam and Miette, in San Leandro.  And Marlen and Austin, in Oakland.  And Teresa, in Berkeley, in addition to ex-housemates like Edgar and Michael and Eddie.  I should keep in touch with everybody.  I get by with a little help from my friends.

All that said, where do I want to go in life?  Am I happy just reading my kindle and listening to music, all the time, by myself?  Do I want to travel? (with someone?).   Do I want to publish?  Start a cult?  Make art?  Be a professional?  (law, psych, medicine).   I think I should be an author.  I enjoy it, I’m good at it, I have a lot to say.  What’s my passion?  Not sex.  Oh, well.  

I have a bucket list that doesn’t need anything added to it.  I wonder if I’ll be able to finish it, in my lifetime (another 50 years, say;  I’m 48 years young), actually.   It’s all the music in my book of songs, all the books in my 3 books of must-reads, and my chambers dictionary, my atlas, the wordbook encyclopedia, my trivia collection, J! archive, and all the newbery winners.  And other booklists, like Bill Gates recommendations, and Hugo/Nebula awards.  I could attempt to read a small library!  Maybe I should get serious about speed-reading.  Just to read the award-winners would take decades.  I’m not sure if setting the goal of a book/day is wise, or feasible.  The daily History (5), daily Times, weekly Economist, and email, is plenty enough.  And I don’t want to read myself blind!

Also: Learn martial arts, every day.   Exercise daily.  I need to be disciplined and systematic and motivated.  I’ve given myself homework; I don’t want to flunk myself!  Maybe I can ace life.  I am my hardest critic.  Meditation (daily?) Is part of the project.  In my process toward perfection, I will remain happy with all I have done, and who I am now, in the understanding that One can always get better, but that I’m perfect already, in another sense.   But making money and seeing the world and being engaged, like the Scientology ideal (without joining in that madness), will always be lurking in the back of my mind, until I become Enlightened and Actually Engaged, as a Realized Adept.  Will I get where I'm going?   Will I ever finally reach a point of knowing?  Can I make a mistake?  Can I just sit here?

In the past, I’ve wanted to volunteer, planting trees, getting books to prisoners, leading nature hikes, opening my room for use as a “salon,” and distributing business cards with the link to my blog.   I wanted to get J! Archive on the apple watch.   I wanted WBSM to publish a book of the show’s questions.  I wanted to get paid to be an audiobook narrator (Encyc Brittanica?).  And I wanted a family.  No more.  Maybe my blog will go viral, and I will get a measure of fame.  I think that would be nice.  I can leave my cards in books or the GTU or bulletin boards.  Maybe I don’t need to write about a vision for social change, as it’s in the air already, in what might be called “silent transmission.”   Maybe I’m channeling all my ideas from others.   I do believe in Emptiness, the buddhist teaching.  The whole world is thinking.  The ideas wash around the psyche sphere.  Maybe no one’s ideas are original.  Maybe God thinks everything!   Now everybody's me!

A Bleach Mouthwash

Idiot-in-chief

Don’t inject disinfectants, or take hydroxychloroquine.   Or, do, if you’re suicidal.  What do I care.  But, however you look at it, Trump is not being helpful.  Is he being intentionally misleading - that is, hostile, malicious?  Is he trying to kill people? Does he think he’s amusing, or entertaining?  Is being president like playing a game, or just another tv show?  

He’s supposed to be a leader, presidential, inspirational even.  Not an immature, cruel, imbecile.  Apparently, he’s not capable of rising to the challenge of the biggest crisis to face the US since WWII.  That’s not a surprise, but I don’t think he’s even trying.  Maybe he thinks people are stupid.  Maybe he thinks humanity is overpopulated.  Maybe he’s just a tool.  Maximum damage.

It’s people’s lives, it’s setting an example, it’s listening to all sides, reading books, taking his role seriously.   He’s not a comedian.  He’s not even funny.  He’s stupid, ignorant, and depressing.  I just needed to vent.  F Trump.

He wasn't elected to be an entertainer.  Entertainment is another job, entirely.  If he's an actor, he should try playing the role of president.  

God

A rather long-winded definition of God

The Creator, Love, A man of war, the source of all goodness, One.  A word.  Dog, backwards.  Good without an O.   An acronym: e.g. good orderly direction, good old days, god or devil.  A rhetorical device, a heavenly father, the first superhero, before comics.  A word, concept, a role, an identity, a status (like santa, or an adoptive parent).  Alpha of humanity (alien? Most genius? Rotating position? Corporate?).  The body of christ (christianity), a plural singularity.  A trimurti, a trinity.  Or, The Big R.  Reality is all the god there ever is.  Wholly holy.  All Allah.  Infinity, infinite love.  I am.  I am who am.  YHWH.  tetragrammaton.  Jehovah, Yahweh, Jah.  H why? Backwards.  Just because.   Justice and BEing.  Jesus christ, 25.  Just ice.  Virtue, kindness, compassion, mercy, peace, joy, gratitude, etc.  Whatever your priest or minister or rabbi or imam (or I and I) says He is. The conceptual focus of a community, like a platonic form.  Nature.  The Universe.  The multiverse.  Every psyche.  God is love.  Love believes all things.  Any virtual reality.  Love-bliss,  -creation by big bang, stars, evolution, parents (sex)-  Math: one, trinity, infinity, 138!  764!  17 (Q!, for all you star trek fans)  Any number.  A, allah. B, Jesus. C, trinity.  D, devil.  E, pentagon, etc.  The one reality behind every deity, god or God, of any pantheon, Any characteristics, any avatar, any name, any religion,  any time in history, any place in space, geography.  All facets of one stone (even the contrary, opposite dualisms).  A way of social control, morality inculcation, making good of evil,  community, indoctrination, hypnotism, getting in people’s heads, and mind control.  Something to talk about in an infinite universe, Where life is without meaning or purpose, destined for oblivion.  A way of making sense of insanity, shared mind, and weirdness like prayer and dreams (telepathy), or the collective unconscious, Or even possession (like avolition), sleepwalking, what-have-you (abnormal psych). go, devil!  Get out, demon!  Go on, do it!  And so forth.  Assurance that everything has a purpose, that everything is under control,  And that there is divine justice or karma, that the universe makes sense, and immortality and eternal happiness is possible,  That there is a reason for everything, and wishes come true.  I happen to think it’s just a benevolent telepathic genius, the collective goodwill of all of humanity, Or anything people think is good, personified, Or whatever people think is god (did I cover it all?).  The Flying Spaghetti Monster.  One of the many sources of goodness.  Everybody altogether, and every individual, at the same time.  A “force”, as the spirit moves you, so to speak.  An (almost) universally experienced psychological reality.  The “other” in your mind and body, I and I, plural self.  Hive mind.  A Higher Power, like Harry Potter, or The Emperor.  Head honcho.  Big cheese.  The most high, the great master, lord above (life or death),  Who both demands and deserves submission and obedience.  A virtual reality, like the angels and saints and demons and devil.  Or maybe just me, lol.  I AM, right? God takes things personally.  If you're good, then you're God!

Inexorable Juggernaut

well, hopefully not

It seems like the pandemic is on track to infect everyone.  Unavoidable, fated, universal.  Left to itself, it was said to double every 5-6 days, which had me thinking of the wheat and chessboard problem, which results in a figure much higher than most people expect, because it is exponential. But we've made social distancing a norm, along with quarantining, and self-isolation.  The shutdown is having an effect.   There is hope.  It could be over in 2 weeks, if EVERYBODY stayed home, but some degree of interaction is still necessary, because not everybody has hoarded rice and beans, like me.  I have like a dozen roommates, so there is some anxiety.  2 people, at least, are coughing in the living room, fairly regularly.  I have a hotplate and a pisspot, to limit the number of times out of my room, as well as a 5 gallon water jug.  I have bleach, hand sanitizer, wipes, and 5 facemasks.  I bought a bug net for my head, from REI (to help me keep from touching my face).  I wash my hands every time after I touch a doorknob, light switch, or toilet handle, for 20s +.  I have tons of pasta and oatmeal, in addition to rice and beans.  I've ordered groceries delivered from Safeway, twice (with their app).  I've also ordered a couple pizzas.  My brother says, if things get hairy, or scarier, I can move into an unused bnb unit owned by some friends, in San Francisco.  I feel comfortable, for now. Sara says I shouldn't take on any wag walks.  Wag! says I won't be booted for not walking (since early March).  I paused my gym membership.  I sometimes exercise in my room.  I lift dumb bells (arnold presses, tricep extensions, bent rows), stretch on my floor (hurdler's stretch, calf stretch, groin stretch, sun salutation, happy baby, child's pose, opening the hips, a few things I don't know what to call -shoulder stretch, and toe rotation and twisting my trunk and rotating my arms), planks, shakes (like a shake weight without the weight), pushups, sit-ups, crunches, passes, dancing, and high-kicking.  I have an amazon echo with a music membership, for the atmosphere.  I could do a lot more.  I could jumprope (even without the actual rope), or jog outside, or do burpees or lunges or squats or side planks... I have a book with 2100 asanas (yoga positions) I haven't started.  Isometrics holds possibility.  I have gnc whey protein powder, 2 jars, to last awhile.  So that's how I've adapted.  I don't watch tv, but I do listen to a lot of music.  I have daily and weekly news, and email, and library books, and books of my own, that I haven't read yet.  J! archive is always there, as is the onion, ted, arts and letters daily, and of course wikipedia.  I like to occasionally dip into twitter, facebook, instagram, and pinterest.   I have more than enough to do.  I am never bored.  I haven't even begun the immersion into spanish or martial arts that I'd like to achieve.  I have books of both.  Plus, of course, I stop and relax and meditate or just sit, to music or silence.  I'm getting enough sleep (occasionally too much).  I'm satisfied with my blog traffic.  I'm healthy, and busy.  So that's my current situation.   Maybe it offers you an idea or two.  Peace out.

Exciting world, playing cat and mouse, with police, fbi, Interpol, kgb, cia, what have you.  Being a criminal, slaughter daughters, kill bill, murder the bird, meth death, drug thug.  I don’t really want to do that, come to think of it.   I mean, maybe, a little. 

Middling, safe world of fraught friendship and attempts at love

Do you think you’re better off alone?

Virtual worlds to enable excitement, vicariously.  Videogames, movies, videos, vicious vampires (psychic, but drinking/eating).  Converting dining into ruthless, cruel, vicious sadistic torture and violence, tv (!).

legally found "guilty" is not the same as actual (psychological) guilt!
The law does not necessarily correspond to personal subjective morality

I know Kathy Gill, too.  If she married a T... Gill-T

anyway, you can be innocent (didn't do it) and found guilty
you can be not-guilty (surely you did it? no?) and found guilty
and you can be acquitted, whether you did it or not
   you can be both legally exonerated, and psychologically innocent,
   (regardless of the situation and events regarding your past behavior)
and maybe anything can be justified

"virtue-signalling"

Religion and Progress rap

Be Good.

Be good. Don't be evil.  Love one another.  Reduce suffering, increase happiness.  Think, say, do, and be good.  Be helpful, virtuous, beneficent, righteous.  Don't break the law or be a criminal.  Make a difference.  Be strong, healthy, well and sane.   Sincerity, honesty, integrity, and truth are not shit.   Repent, of sin, in what you have done, and what you have failed to do.  Be a part of the solution, not the problem.  Do your best.  Be proud of your effort.  Go to bed tired.  Be happy that you have made the world a better place.  Be all that you can be.  Reach your potential.  Be God.  Be better than God. Be Yourself.  Be your better self.  Be your best self.

Live, love, laugh, have fun, play, work hard, smile, tell jokes, poke fun, be good, better, best.   Sing, dance, create, exercise, practice, train, improve, grow, learn, read, write, dream, think, talk, discuss, teach, share, inspire, set an example, be positive, grateful, relax, meditate, nap, sleep, do nothing, veg, recharge, reduce, reuse, recycle, get motivated, be disciplined, dedicated, intense, relaxed, dour, analytical, appreciated, rewarded, rich.

Be sane, but get a little crazy, sometimes.  Mix it up.  Play roles. Go out.  Get outside your comfort zone.  Go camping and hiking, skiing, canoeing, boating. Fly a kite, climb a rock.  Travel and experience culture shock.  Love life.  You only live once.  No regrets.  Just do it.  Compete.   Play games.  Beat your personal best.  Strive, maintain, search.  Reach deep.  Go far.  Make goals, objectives, lists, projects.  Don't be bored.  Stay busy, occupied, challenged.  Be interesting.  Learn to speed read.   Do magic.  Juggle, bodybuilding, swimming, yoga, self-defense.  Have a hobby.  Get crafty.  Raise a family.  Know thyself.  Do what you can.  Have lots of friends.  Eat well.  Get enough sleep.  Be beautiful, in mind and body.  Pursue your dreams.  Contentment, comfort.  Safety, security.  Joy, happiness, bliss.

Start a cult.  Make your own religion.  Syncretize the best of all traditions.  Embrace your humanity.  Love all, serve all.  Be a light unto nations.  Be light-hearted.  Do what you want.  May the force be with you.  Aim high.  Forgive and forget.  Have a nice day.  A pleasant tomorrow.  Have faith, hope, love-bliss.  You are not alone.  We're all in this together.  3rd rock from the sun.  Global village.  Spaceship earth.  Insanity, and humanity.  And, of course, manatees.  We are all animals.  Look out for each other.  Stewards of nature.  Replace pain, agony, suffering, torment, misery, anguish, despair with pleasure, humor, contentment, love, gratitude, satisfaction, mercy, equanimity, understanding, peace, happiness, wealth, achievement, community, ecstasy, and fun.

Reward virtue, punish illegal, criminal, and unlawful wickedness, evil, sin, turpitude.   Do your duty to god and country.  Fight for freedom.  Do what you have to do.  Be a part of something greater than yourself.  Submit and obey, or lead and set an example.   Stand for something.   Be someone.  Go somewhere.   Answer questions, go on a quest.   Who, what, where, when, why, how?  which?  Stay strong.  Live long and prosper.  Live!

Say what you mean, and mean what you say.   Don't blather on, endlessly, lol.  It is better to say nothing and be thought a fool, than speak and remove all doubt.  Read the encyclopedia, an atlas, your dictionary, learn languages, and stay informed.  Do your homework.  Have ambition.  Get by with a little help from your friends.  Trust in God.  Live well, die without regret.  Serve, love, improve, and give.

Cheers, Jess
