Then please erase that poem from your memory. Anything I need to do to better prioritize myself consider done.

Maybe I need to clarify my analogy. "You were all baited like fish by the grocery store" means you were all baited, like fish, yet you were baited (me...

Of course bait. It's all about learning which bait you actually like, then it's all good.
September 09, 2025 at 13:08
You were all baited like fish by the grocery store. They knew exactly how to bait the hook and position it in the store to reel in the most buyers.

Speaking of which, in the old Godzilla movies, the actors dressed up in rubber suits and wrestled around on miniature models of the city. To the build...

I'm watching the 1955 Godzilla Raids Again. I happen to be watching it on NYC in my hotel. Quite a coincidence, if you believe in such things. /upload...

Coincidentally (if one believes in such things), an old Godzilla movie is on TV right now. The bulk of the movie is about tracking Godzilla'a emergenc...

No. That suggests Jung was some sort of Berkelian idealist. He was not making any metaphysical claim at all. He was only indicating our psyche is medi...

Just finished The Magician of Lublin. The metaphor of self-imprisonment as an obstacle for atonement was truly brilliant.
