“The obvious intent being to sink most of the Russian fleet at anchor. If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war & conflict escalation” #Musk wrote
That drew an angry response from #MykhailoPodolyak, adviser to #Ukraine Pres #Zelensky. Musk’s “interference” allowed #Russia’s naval fleet to cont firing #CruiseMissiles at cities. “As a result, #civilians, #children are being #killed. This is the price of a cocktail of #ignorance & big #ego”

came up in my fb memories, something I found on Jochre Yiddish OCR search in 2020 when looking for mentions of tsimbls (cimbaloms), the the boasting of a cantor from a satirical short story:

"My neck — a fiddle
my throat — a tsimbl
and I myself am a whole orchestra
When I pray, people fall like flies"

"psa adhd gang, people recreationally using or abusing stimulants is not why they're hard to get, they're hard to get because doctors can be absolute motherfuckers with egos the size of saturn who like to play god with people's lives. if they didn't have the "drug seeking behavior" line to use as a tool to be a dick, they'd just say "tsk tsk you're obviously wrong about your own symptoms" a little more often than they already do. peace and love on planet amphetamines.

and this gets me because. it's like there's a contingent of adhders who heard that we're predisposed to substance abuse issues and, rather than connecting the dots of "substance abuse is often a coping mechanism resorted to in the wake of insufficient care for a psychological disorder, stigma against addicts is one more link in the chain of systemic societal ableism," instead thought "drug users are dangerous and selfish people who are out to do harm to uniquely vulnerable people like me." for a while I put this mindset down to the lack of experience and time to process ideas that comes with youth; it still sucks, but the people I knew in middle school who had bad takes about drugs and alcohol no longer think that way now we're in college, and mostly they changed their minds on their own instead of needing me or someone else to call them out directly. but there are subsets of adhd communities who used these talking points when their average age was 15 in 2016 and are still using them now when their average age is 22. so maybe the hot new trend for 2023 should be interrogating the propaganda you've been fed about drug users for your whole life and considering whether these ideas hold up to compassionate scrutiny and who benefits if you believe them."

#CornelWest is another narcissistic, "I'm in it for me" rabble rouser who believes that going against the grain is a political #ideology. His so-called #candidacy is a joke without a punchline. All he's doing is feeding his #ego at the expense of the best interests of the nation. And for what? At the end of the day, he'll just be another quirky also-ran in the footnote of #history.

If you are thinking about learning how to dance #argentinetango you need to take on board that to dance successfully you have to leave #ego behind. There has to 100% acceptance of your authentic self and 100% acceptance of the other person in the dance.

I put a new blade on my #Ego mower and it just munched through almost a quarter acre of crabgrass like a prize fighter. Did I mention that the battery was manufactured in 2016?

I’m so sad that the prices have gone up so high on these mowers, because this thing has been terrifically good.

«
Pride either finds a desert, or makes one; submission cannot tame its ferocity, nor satiety fill its voracity, and it requires very costly food — Its keeper’s happiness.

Behind every positive self-concept is the hidden fear of not being good enough (inferiority) and behind every negative self-concept is the hidden desire of being the greatest or better than others (superiority). #ego

Meditations | 08-15

The dog park recently has been an interesting microcosm of society. In evaluating the strange relationships that these humans have with their animals, in watching their anxiety at work: their fear of being embarrassed, their fear of something happening to their dog, their fear of being called out for their dog's bad behavior, and so on; I have really had some interesting thoughts about the way that we treat animals and the way that we treat each other.

There is one girl in particular with two dogs that have subtle but severe behavioral issues. This girl is blonde and cute and it's quite likely that her behavior has never been criticized. As such, she seems to have very little self-awareness, and she is an extraordinarily anxious and angry person.

An aggressive dog is quite often a defensive one. An aggressive human is quite often a defensive one.

When our dogs cannot trust that we will not put them in bad situations they will take matters into their own hands. This happened today: there is a husky at the park who picks on one of the blonde girl's dogs. Not in an aggressive way, although he certainly has his own behavioral issues, but in a way where her dog often gets pinned.

Instead of allowing her dog to set a boundary, she always grabs his collar and forceably removes him from the situation. She yells at the other dog's owner. She panics.

Today her dog saw that the husky was there and immediately went for its throat. A legitimate fight ensued. Thankfully it was broken up without severe injury to either dog.

Both the husky's owner and the blonde girl kept their dogs at the dog park after this incident.

Ego is a really interesting thing. We cannot survive without it. It tells us to eat, to care for ourselves, to bathe which in turn helps us avoid parasites or infection, to expect certain treatment from other human beings which is beneficial for our survival (or, which is at least not detrimental to it).

Both women yelled at one another, and then retreated to separate benches, as though the dogs wouldn't interact again. As though the dogs could somehow exist on the same level of passive-aggression as humans.

An aggressive dog is quite often a defensive one. An aggressive human is quite often a defensive human.

People walk around, animals their accessories, unintentionally forcing these four-legged and highly conscious beings to mirror their own anxieties, their own ego trips, their own fear and panic and completely adrift sense of self.
They assume that all conflict is terrifying, force their dogs to flee from it as they themselves do.
And the result? Maladaptive defensiveness. The blonde girl has another dog who follows mine around barking. She responds by yelling at it to stop. In other words, the dog barks because he's apprehensive about the size of my dog and he's anxious. She barks back and feeds its anxiety.

There is a lack of willingness to accept responsibility on behalf of both parties. We so often retreat and tell our friends how wrong the other was.

But how often in conflict do we actually sit back and ask ourselves what subtle but severe issues do we have that caused this conflict in the first place? What role we play?

In my experience watching others, the answer seems to be never. It's a curious thing, ego.

IX. The Hermit. 🧙‍♂️

The #winter #solstice is the longest night; dark and cold. Perfect for #introspection and #solitude, illuminated by a single #lantern. 🕯️

The #Hermit is often depicted standing in snow, an empty canvas on which to project our inner #wisdom without the imperfections of #ego. ❄️

Also, the solstice is associated with the sun (Sol) which matches the #Fire aspect of The Hermit. 🔥

Whatever you fight, you strengthen, and what you resist, persists #ego
