I help women lose 25+ lbs. & make the “after” pic last a lifetime⁣

Thursday 2/20/25

I saw this video online about a large turtle who was unhappy. Actually, he was pretty angry. He didn't like his life. Then one day, the woman who owned the turtle got him a deflated basketball to play with and the turtle loved it. Then she surprised him another time by emptying out a whole bucket of balls for him. He loved them all. Then he ate some watermelon and was much more friendly to everyone. He seemed to be pretty happy.

I loved seeing this. And the woman loved this turtle. You could tell that she really cared about him. And then I read the comments. I shouldn't have done that. People are hateful, sick, disturbed, toxic, ogres. They're just mean. So many people hate themselves. And they should, because they're terrible. And that hate comes out and it makes the world such an ugly place. Nothing can ever just be good, or nice, or uplifting, or inspiring. It's like people detest themselves so much that they won't allow anything like that anywhere else.

Some people made fun of the woman's voice, others said she was selfish because the turtle should have been in the wild. It was a domesticated turtle she had adopted when its owner died. What was she supposed to do? Drive to the woods, put the turtle on the ground say, "Well, here you are," and speed off? Of course people aren't going to be smart enough to know how nature works.

I haven't gotten into it on here yet, but Microsoft has made it--with their latest version of what used to be called Microsoft Office--so that you can't write without AI. The takeover is happening. It's the end of humans. There won't be any humanness if we keep going like this. I have to write in Pages now and then create a final Word document from that, so now I have two files for every work. Anyway, Microsoft conducted a study pertaining to AI and how they've forced it on users and what they discovered--again, this was their study--is that the cognitive function of those using their AI "atrophied" and left them "unprepared" to deal with anything that wasn't routine.

Can people really not see that this is how we are now? How the whole horrible world we've made has made us? We are less and less human and more and more and more helpless and more and more broken and alone and unhappy and useless to ourselves and to others. We can't communicate because we can't talk and we can't understand anything. We have no interests save in our uninteresting selves. We're not funny--because that requires originality and a quickness of mind. We don't and can't read. We can't write. We can't recognize anything for what it is. If something is good and substantive, we tend to believe it's bad and a threat because it's not what we'd say or do or could be.

I will often write people who are struggling and say something to try to help them. Not the lies that everyone else says that they don't mean with the false-positivity routine. But specific things from the head and the heart. I do this behind the scenes with men, women. Normally, that person says nothing back. Almost everyone is a narcissist. That is partly why everyone is so unhappy and unfilled and has nothing in their lives. I'd venture that when I've done this, not a single person--I could be wrong--has even had enough curiosity in who is saying this to them to click on my profile and see who I am. But someone wrote me yesterday to say that what I said made them cry and they really needed to read those words because they'd had the worst day in a while.

You have to be a very simple and dumb person to think someone like Joe Rogan is anything but a very simple and dumb person. A dumb person's idea of a smart person. I see these kind of tech-type bros who think they can be Joe Rogan Jr. Remember what we said about the need to think someone is achievable? You look at David Remnick, and you think he's achievable. There's no greatness there. There's no on-a-higher-level than you there. People need to be able to look at someone and think, "I could be them," with the right breaks, opportunity, or just if they wanted to and tried. Success in our world is predicated on being a person--in all of your mediocrity, which doesn't even really mean mediocre anymore--that others recognize as achievable for them.

These tech-type bros fancy themselves life experts with "hacks" and this idiotic form of what they think is wisdom which is consists of Wikipedia-style factoids that they get wrong because they're too stupid to understand how anything works and they think anything can be reduced to a factoid. They believe that the factoid is the highest form of knowledge and truth in the world. They are so fucking dumb. And, of course, lots of people like them and think they're smart because that's how equally dumb people work and how they think.

These guys model themselves as dumbass Yoda for the internet. Look at what I saw that one of them posted:

What does it take to make a "hit"?• Beethoven composed 722 pieces. 15 became widely known (2.1%). • Georgia O'Keeffe painted 2,000 works. 15 are iconic (0.75%). • Shakespeare wrote 195 plays and poems. You might recognize 20 (10.25%). • David Bowie wrote 400+ songs. 10 became universal (2.5%). Only a fraction of what you create will resonate. Keep going.

There is so much wrong there. There's so much wrong that I know that anyone who thinks this way could never begin to get anything correct. You see how the terms are used as these indicators of definitive factoids. You see the attempt at empiricism. 2.1% for old Beethoven. You see all of the presumption. The ego of the true idiot. Because he knows--is the implication--what those fifteen Beethoven "pieces" are. "Iconic." "Sorry, that one is not iconic, that one isn't, that's an iconic one, that one is close but not iconic."

As I said, people love this. They'll hammer that like button. Because they think it means that they're Beethoven. They know nothing about Beethoven save that it's a name that means something pretty good. What they make--of the little of which they make, which they don't really work at at all--blows, but sometimes, they think, some of it is a little better and that's what it takes--iconic!

People love to be told absolute fucking bullshit like this. They eat up that shit. Num num num num. They love hollow ass cheer. "Keep going!" It's just being enabled by an insincere person with cement for brains.

You might recognize 10.25% of Shakespeare plays and poems. That's hilarious. Hilariously depressing, too, but hilarious. "10 became universal." Look at these terms. "Yeah, it was almost two universal ones, but, like, but one of them was only like half universal and the other showed signs of universal potential but that would have made eleven universal ones and the universal total should be evenly divisible by five."

Here are some reactions from people:

Damn good post (And this guy should know--he's an "online coach" who refers to himself as "The Emotional Support Viking" and whose bio describes what he does in these words: "I help women lose 25+ lbs. & make the 'after' pic last a lifetime⁣." He has 50,000 followers, because this is how the world works now. Stupid is good. Bad is good. Smart is bad, good is bad. Would you like a brilliant quote from this fellow? Okay, I'll give you one: "The miracle you’re looking for is in the absence of the you that is looking for miracles." This isn't me making anything up; I'm just copying and pasting. Not surprisingly, this guy has no idea that there's a difference between workout and work out. He recommends eating a lot of protein, though.)

I like this post so much

Love when people point this out. That’s really what made me realize that consistency is the most important thing.

It’s crucial, most give up way too soon. 👌 You can’t plan a masterpiece, it comes from making tone of material.

That is a great post 💕🎶

Babe Ruth also held the world record for strikeouts.

And it can’t be planned! It’s just a numbers game. Even geniuses, they just get a better ratio but can’t create masterpieces after masterpieces.

"I’ve made over 100 YouTube videos."Most barely got views. A few took off.Then I realized: Success isn’t about one perfect piece. It’s about producing relentlessly until something sticks.The more you create, the luckier you get.P.S. I share actionable lessons, ideas on personal discipline and growth regularly. Check out my profile if it resonate with you!

Yep, exactly this! Good luck on Youtube

Same goes for sperm. Just sayin', no judgement.

Same goes for sperm. From the guy who can't spell "judgment." Just sayin'. Look at this fucking world we're in.
