why would you want to train your inner monologue? your inner monologue is you. it is YOU. training YOURSELF to accomplish some task is subjecting yourself to the will of the algorithm: i.e. peak NPC.

i thought it was great. it's incredible how tao has grown from a snarky new yorker to a weirdo hippie in just a few years. i guess drugs really do work to change your mind.
i haven't done dmt. i'd like to someday but i'm pretty socially awkward so i don't think i'll be able to.

get an mfa to teach mfa students who go on to teach mfa students who go on to teach mfa students who go on to teach mfa students who go on to teach mfa students who go on to teach mfa students

the closest i've come is when i took a shit load of edible weed and went to starbucks. about an hour later, when i had finished my iced coffee and was listening to the ecco the dolphin ost, i had one of those "we live in a society" moments.

i realized that as a software engineer in california i was a tool of america's projecting of power around the globe. i belonged to a narrow slice of the world, a wealthy upper-middle class slice which had constructed a virtual reality for itself consisting of starbucks, macbooks, and rapid response police. i realized through my taxes i was funding efforts to kill people with drones. i realized it was all an illusion, this thing we call society, that it's a prison we have constructed for ourselves through language. we're a bunch of large mammals kept in check with 18th century french pieces of paper. ultimately, if i stepped out of line too far, i would be thrown in prison or killed.

does the ability to shitpost on 4chan translate into literary talent?
