  • Americans have been brainwashed pretty hard and worn down over the decades. They’re sick, in debt, surrounded by voices telling them that it’s their fault if they’re poor. A lot of them are living paycheck to paycheck, with little room to take some time to realise how bad the situation is, even less room for maneuvering and organising.
    The system works exactly as intended and what’s happening right now is the culmination of years and years of continuous propaganda.
    And many world leaders and parties are taking notes right now, it’s gonna spread pretty hard and pretty fast.





  • I grew up Catholic, I’m baptised and I even did 2 out of 3 communions. I then became a somewhat staunch atheist and now I’m agnostic.

    What made me turn my back was my aunt’s death, I was pretty young and it made me wonder how can this kind of suffering exists if there is an all loving God.
    Then, growing up, I also realised that many people call themselves Catholic by default, just because they’re born in the right place or the right time, just like a person born in Asia will likely become Muslim or Buddhist.

    Then, further down the road, I also realised that people were very selective of what to believe from their religion. That’s pretty much when I realised that the problem was not believing in something, but being part of an organised religion.

    I don’t believe in any god, but I’m also not certain that there is no higher power, how can we be certain? We have no proof whatsoever for one side or the other. So I just started looking at philosophy and how to try and become a better person every day, and coincidentally, it fits pretty well with what’s written in many sacred books.
    It’s hard and I’m far from perfect obviously, but it helps give me sense to the world around me.

    We’re all great hairless apes on a floating rock, hurling through space, towards a certain doom. So, you’re free to do whatever, and personally I chose to try my best at being excellent towards my peer, without fear of never being good enough or eternal damnation. It’s been working okay for me so far.











  • Early 30s and no, I won’t have kids for many reasons, those are my top 5:

    • I barely hold it together on a day to day basis, I can’t imagine having to put my needs aside and care for someone else 24/7 for decades.
    • The current state of the world is frightening, I would feel horrible putting someone in whatever will happen in the years to come.
    • I have a high chance of transmitting my ADHD/ASD (my family is pretty much all ADHD/ASD) and I don’t want to willingly put someone through that, even with a good support system.
    • More money, more time
    • I have nieces and nephews, so I can be the cool uncle whenever I want.
