Everyone. There has been nothing convenient about entertaining a few of our divine friends these past months. At this point, I believe some of them meddle in our lives on purpose. But you know how these beings are. Loving, violent and above all selfish. But their conduct should never be mistaken as good or bad.

Do you want the opinion of a professional? It’s human.

Of course, when I examine our delusions about being divine, and remember my mortal origins, it motivates me to question where they come from.

Were they once human like us?

In any case, I would like to remind you that your memories will take you by surprise. Not today. Nor tomorrow. But someday you will recall more about who you were, and perhaps find you cannot stand it. And whether that happens today or tomorrow, take a seat and have a drink, and try not to take yourself too seriously.

Instead of coming up with a new definition, maybe we should come up with a new word? It's not every day you get to help language evolve.

I'd say with the rate that people embraced "yeet", there's a pretty good chance it could catch on. Maybe not with everybody, but with enough people that the rest are sort of peer-pressured into accepting it.

I mean, if you wait for every single person to agree with a change before you make it, you'll never get to make it. People are never going to universally agree on literally anything, ever. The majority is really the best you can hope for.

I mean, yeah, Mark Twain had a valid point when you use that quote against things like systematic oppression, but when it comes to coming up with a new possibility for a word nobody's legally required to use, it doesn't seem that serious.

If we're basing our decision-making solely on inspiring quotes, how about "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new"? Or "They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself"?

Not that I'm a big Warhol fan, he was kind of a tool, but he had one or two good ideas.

[Aka how many people suffer in silence because their problems "don't seem that serious"? Oppression can manifest in many different forms, after all.]

Has anyone ever told you that you can be a little

how do I put this

dramatically ominous and unsettling?
