Conservatives can’t tell that Barbie was a good movie, their minds are too broken from the ferment of the American culture war. They, like their leftist counterparts, cannot look at a movie or piece of art very well. If it’s not propaganda of their camp, they can’t comprehend it.

Let organic curiosity guide you. Nolan said: “You’re never going to learn something as profoundly as when it’s purely out of curiosity.” Learn about the thing stuck in your mind. Go where the heart lights up. This is much better than yawning through what you're supposed to know.

There is this sense that somehow its bad to intellectually change your mind about something, which seems insane to me, and presumes that somehow you're able to perfectly know all truth about all things between the ages of 18-22.

Let us not be deceived: NATO is an expanding instrument of U.S. global power that provoked Russia into a criminal invasion and occupation of Ukraine. This proxy war between the American Empire and the Russian Federation could lead to World War III. We must stop the war and war…

On the one hand, a real counter-culture of people who are ahead of the stupidities of our day is growing. On the other hand, we will have to weather the slow suffering of watching pseudo-tastemakers like celebrities increasingly flaunt those same stupidities.

Students were sold the best time of their lives and an internationally acclaimed education. Students have now ended up with neither. Staff are trying to stand by these standards and the standards expected of their employer in the #MAB but management isn’t budging yet. 3/5

I don’t believe people are any more stupid today than they’ve ever been. It’s just that we have today what no generation has ever really had — an expressive-individualist system of public merit that has turned stupidity into a cultural virtue.

If you’re looking for representation & deep meaning from a beer brand, a trans influencer, or some fast fashion label…you’re all part of the outrage and are giving yourselves perpetual aneurysms. Brands & people who sell you stuff don’t care about you: Stop caring about them.

Social media kills your intuition. By filling your mind with external voices and implanting external fodder for thought all day and night, your internal voice and thoughts are crowded out. If your internal compass is wrecked, you become dependent on external direction.
