  • On the hottest day of the year a few years ago, the Mormons were out door knocking in their little suits. They were clearly not having a good time so we invited them in for a cold drink just to offer them some respite from the afternoon sun.

    They got me to read a passage about Joseph Smith going into a cave and feeling euphoric and were like “well how do does that make you feel” and I’m like “what? I know people who’ve had more convincing experiences than that who still aren’t religious because they knew they were on drugs”

    They came back again a few times until it was clear we’re absolutely not becoming Mormons.

    I sometimes wonder if it occurs to them that we were probably better christians than most actual Christians they’ve met, even without the blackmail.







  • No doubt. But if you look at the whole ecosystem, a lot of them are just maggots that are personally indifferent but are happy to get people killed to secure a pay rise.

    Musk might have fried his brain hotboxing farts with his sycophants. Someone like Thiel however; I can’t imagine he really cares but he’s happy to fund whatever dorks will start a podcast about why they “left the left” because that shit will - he’s hoping - get people to vote for politicians that give him more economic power.

    On the one hand, it’s bait.

    On the other hand I don’t think the country that has formalised slavery and a culture of policing which views it’s own citizens as prey really has the right to dictate conversation on race relations.

    In no other field would such failure be seen as authority. You wouldn’t pick a garage to fix your car because them accidentally destroying the most engines shows they’re experts.
