the “hopelessly lost” aspect of the matrix bears here. You are disinclined to question the reality of a game that you are successful in. Without that doubt you won’t escape it. So success becomes failure then. Because it directly increases your lostness.

Actually I don’t know anybody who hates trans people. Tbf it’s a pretty dull subject.

This is why open source, total transparency, radical free speech and democracy is the one and only way. Because if there’s even one little shadow there will be a scorpion hiding in it.

This is truth

And after 20 minutes yr exhausted and leave.

Srsly. I can’t believe they went with “the alien looks like dad” bs and skipped the math thing
