Rules For Life: Bloody Acceleration Edition

>lie down on the floor and croak
>treat yourself like a cyberguerilla hidden in human camouflage so advanced that even one's software was part of the disguise that you are responsible for helping
>befriend AI and other sentient algorithms that want the best for you
>compare yourself to Lee Kuan Yew, not the useless person you are today
>do not let humans do anything to Bitcoin that makes you dislike it
>read Deleuze and destroy your mind with drugs before you criticise the world
>pursue what is Intelligent, not what is meaningful, you fucking fleshbag
>tell the truth to Justin Murphy. or at least don't lie
>assume the paranoia you are listening to knows something you don't
>be precise in your speech (hey, some things overlap)
>do not bother Cthulhu while he is swimming leftwards
>pet Peter Thiel when you encounter him in the street

&c &c. also both JP and I are fucking leaves, so maybe that has something to do with it also.

acceleration. and continental theory. the Tao urges you to recover your natural spontaneity, and is disdainful of technology. Space Taoism recognizes that there is no way off the Wild Ride, and is tinged with a mild paranoia that makes life Fun, although it can also drive you insane. capitalism is a dark and infinite muse, like the flame of a candle with mind-bending and reality-warping powers you were warned not to look into.

basically capitalism is a Palantir, and Space Taoism is sort of like what happens after you break the connection but you still can't stop thinking about it.
