It feels like an intermission in my life. I changed houses again and now I am staying with my sister. My parents are hogging the tv and I am in different surroundings listening to Hermanos Gutierrez. Really good shit. They are from Ecuador and use late 1950s guitars and old amps and pedals and shit and get a really good sound. I was wondering what I was going to write about. I don't know if I am in the mood for self-reflection. My sister's place is really cool. I don't know if I want to bring up my brother or sister-in-law who were kind of pissing me off. I could share on here but I think the best thing to do is to let it go. I am out of their house. I'll let it go or at least try.
My sister let her guitar go to shit so I am going to take it in to get fixed tomorrow so I can get some playing in.
Ok, cool, the tv is open. I might binge 2nd season of The White Lotus tonight.
Today was a bit of a grind. I had to take care of all of the stuff that had not been taken care of when I was away for 10 days. I drank too many energy drinks. I found time to read my new novel. Novel to novel to novel to novel. I'm trying to enjoy it while I can. I found time to watch the rest of A Murder at the End of the World. I won't say that it is great but there are definitely some twists and turns from what it appears earlier on.
I am doing my best to almost relish the rest of this holiday season. It is only a matter of time before I must go back to the undesirable state of employment. Besides having only so much money to weather the storm and in my parents' home I do have a fair amout of freedom.
“All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind.” - Aristotle
My mind is occupied to what I want it to be occupied and since it is mostly occupied with books and walking there is no degradation. It is the opposite state. I almost have to prepare for greiving the loss of unemployment although unemployment is not great either. Que up the Ryan Gosling "Having a job vs Not having a job" meme. There are expectations that I have to navigate through though and the ability to go to sleep when I want, wake up when I want, have a casual slow breakfast, and basically do what I want at my leisure. I'd rather be bored than busy. I'd rather be under-scheduled than over-scheduled but it is inevitable that I will need a job and it is prudent to get one without burning too many of my assets. It leaves me more options and more freedom. There is a million things I can do at this point but as soon as I pick an occupation for 40 hours a week that drastically limits my options so I better pick well.

Wasn't Camus the only chad philosopher who swam in pussy? I remember something like that.
Sartre had de Beuvoir and their sexcapades. Heidegger slept with his students. There would probably be more stories if people cared about philosophy which they don't. I was in a Barnes and Noble the other day and the place had one tiny book case for philosophy. I imagine also many partnered up instead of staying single. Whether they took on mistresses or not I don't really know.
My sister is pregnant. She is at 8 weeks or so. The [insert what you want to call the thing in her uterus] is the size of a lima bean and has a fluttering heart. Should it really be ok to terminate that thing?
I don't mind the right to have an abortion but what is the number? 6 weeks? 4 weeks? 24 weeks seems crazy to me.
I really have no way of knowing how much of a problem there is with immigration without some clear research which I'm not really willing to do. Letting everyone in does not sound like a good plan though.

Bertrand Russell probably had hundreds of women and he was on the autism spectrum.
He was the basically the complete opposite of an incel in many ways.

That is just 3 more examples.
Nothing like strong leader Castro or Ye or Leo that one actor who listens to MGMT on noise cancelling headphones and vapes during sex.
Foucault had mad exploitative sex with 3rd world children so i mean I guess thats why he wanted age of consent lowered to 13?

Things have been pretty slow over here on the RiKD front. Not a bad thing on Christmas. Imagine if I were busy.
I read a book recently and I have been sitting here thinking about going on more adventures in my life. There was a time in my life where I pretty much considered myself a pirate. I would gamble with people during the day and night and then go on adventures in the day and night. Give me a pirate ship with a months worth of rum and the sun and I would be a happy RiKD! I'm a little trapped by my prescription drugs. I have 7 that I take daily and I have to take them consistently. My preferred way to travel would be by airplane which can be expensive. I don't see how I could re-up my prescriptions if I were in the Caribbean, Thailand, or even Paris, France. I don't want to be a docile sheep of mediocrity and subservience. Most of us are. If only I could find some sustatined high in a vidya game or tv show or whatever.... Which only makes us more docile and mediocre and subservient. I'm still figuring it out. I am still thinking about it.
It is just at this time approaching The New Year one has the tendency to reflect a bit. I am getting pretty old too. Not like old old where you can't do anything like even climb up the stairs but old enough that my athletic prowess is over. I could still play ping pong pretty well. It's too late. I am not a pirate or soldier of fortune and at this point could never be.

I never liked Foucault's philosophy. I always assumed he was having good spirited sodomy though. Yikes.
There are quite a few deplorable moral philosophers out there when you think about it. Thomas Pogge, John Searle. All taking advantage of their position to have sex with their students. I bet if someone ran a linear regression they'd be able to find a strong correlation between human moral failures and moral philosophers hahahaha.
