the world’s slackening grip on reality

Journal by c0lo

(in the loving memory of Runaway1956, who succumbed after a long battle to gatewaypundits. May his brain rest in peace, squeaky clean and smoothed over)

because "Doing your own research" is far easier nowadays than building the habit of thinking critically.
Add COVID-anxiety, a chaotic narcissistic Orange clown and compound with the lack of survival problems to solve for the everyday life in a westernized society and (where appropriate) a good dose of American exceptionalism.

    I had money. But you know, the money I had, is now worth more as antiques than it was as money. Funny how these things work out. And even moreso, thieves sometimes melt down ancient coins for the metal value, which is like 1/10 of the value of the original coins, less if they are silver or electrum. So, really, it is not about the money. Money comes and goes, but wisdom and knowledge remain.
