  • Well, it appears that they acquired their capital as a company focused on a moral cause that people were excited to get behind/support and quality products people wanted to buy. It also appears as though once they achieved the goal of capital acquisition to a certain level (or they saw diminishing returns in the shoe business), they completely shifted their focus towards maximizing shareholder value with their acquired capital, and this would also appear to mean abandoning the customer base that put them there: people who bought the shoes that they sold.

    It’s an interesting example. It could, in theory, serve as a template: champion a moral cause to secure capital and abandon said cause after reaching the financial goal.

    It could also be fair to say that they saw no future in the shoe business and the pivot was out of necessity. I would have to dig deeper, but this is as far as I go today, thanks for your time. Peace.


  • Fanfiction/Please permit me to make wild allegations, I was also looking at this yesterday and wondered: is it the apple of knowledge of sexual reproduction? (I know the book says good and evil, I get it)

    The other tree was the fruit of eternal life. They did not consume this fruit.

    So, as for the story, humans could neither sexually reproduce nor live forever/a long time prior to eating the fruit of the knowledge of sexual reproduction. Life and death. Good and evil.

    They ate it, wanted to have sex with each other and were ashamed and covered themselves to avoid sexual arousal.

    The free will they received was the ability to sexually reproduce.

    In the story, angels cannot sexually reproduce with each other?, but seemingly live forever/a long time, and angels supposedly did get very excited that they could now sexually reproduce with humans: nephelim. Hybrids. There are no female angels.

    Two different technology trees: humans with sexual reproduction and limited lifespan and angels with longevity/eternal life/angel powers/no females.

    This gave the world a third (unintended?) hybrid nephelim class and this upset the balance of power on earth/the creation.

    The chaos that ensued inspired yahweh to flood his creation and try again?

    Wild shit! For me these are the chaotic and confused retelling of a story of extraterrestrial influence on the development of the human species.

    This particular chapter is focused on origins and bloodlines of humanity so it makes sense to me in that way 🙃

    Thank you for your time.


  • Of course you can, but why would you do that? I believe that it is essential to understand the artist, the art, and their contemporary environment. All together. This is the deepest respect and appreciation that we can show to the arts. If you were to commit any error of omission in studying the art, that is your volition. Ask yourself: what is motivating me to make this decision? It starts and ends with you.

    I wanted to add one more thing, I am sorry: I never cared for jk or Kanye to begin with so there is no conflict for me if I decide that I don’t appreciate them as an artist anymore. I do believe that if you raise your artist standards to a high level you will inevitably do less backtracking and have less angst over this subject. Have more respect for yourself and for the arts.





  • It apparently is human nature to select leaders who are susceptible to corruption and incentivized to propagate the corrupt systems. I believe we need a solution where we have full traceability and hold leaders accountable, I have never seen anything close to this in my lifetime. Perhaps it is because we have collectively left the wolves to guard the henhouse? Replace the wolves with dogs who are aligned with human best interests.


  • No one knows what happens when you die, things could get worse after death and in that case suicide is not a solution but rather a next step towards something even worse.

    Given that it is currently impossible (as far as I know) to know what happens at death, the decision to suicide is an uninformed decision of tremendous magnitude.

    If by killing yourself things get worse, what would be the next step?

    Would you be in a better position to turn things around in the afterlife (assuming that there is one) or now in this life?

    In summary, the reason why you should not kill yourself is because you do not know what will be the result of that action your death: your death is not a guaranteed solution to anything.

    If it happened to you in 1999 then you are just probably dumb as fuck because plenty of available information across the nation (~$16-18)

    If it happened in 1992, you would be big sad and harder to find out more info pre-buy ($10-12)
