It's All Unfolding Like Master Origami
And coming up roses
As someone who's been blogging for 22 years, I can tell you, this is the toughest time to be a blogger. If you're not someone who writes about the daily shitstorm, you might not grasp the sheer visceral feeling of it. So, let me break it down for you.
For probably the last three decades, even before I started blogging, I was always in this internal conflict, feeling like everything was hopeless in some idealized sense of what's right and wrong. My own sense of what's right and wrong is fundamentally my best grasp of reality. What is the nature of a man? What is the nature of a woman? A child? A family? A community where people actually help each other?
Everywhere around me, I saw how less and less was geared towards those natures. I instinctively knew that everything was going against nature, and it had to come out in the wash one day, either gently or violently. But it will come out because you can't just ignore Mother Nature.
I didn't know how it would come about or how long it would take, but I figured I'd do my part as best I could. Initially, it was through diet and health with the Paleo diet, but I also wove in my thoughts on public policy, how civilizations, populations, villages, families, and individuals might best operate. I just drove at it all the time—not in a way that was aggressive, but more as a sideline, a hobby, or whatever you want to call it. And yeah, I've always enjoyed writing this blog.
Now, here's where it gets tricky. In some ways, my dreams have come true. What I've seen unfold in just a month boggles the mind. If it doesn't boggle yours, then you're either not paying attention, or you've managed to engineer your life to be unaffected by this shit, in which case, good for you. Even though I'm somewhat insulated, what irks me is that world civilization has been going in the shitter for a long time, and now we're at the cusp of a complete fucking reversal—and still millions to billions don't get it.
... So I've been mostly reflective, lately. I could just declare a victory of sorts and call it quits, but I don't want to.
Here's what I posted a bit ago on the social media where I'm active.
At this point, it's difficult for me to draw much distinction in the barrage of posts and antics from the left, from monkeys screeching from trees in the jungle, and random noise. Or, of kids throwing tantrums over whatever.
In some cases, they seem to be seeking "rational debate."
Sorry, not interested. Not worth my time, attention, or even distraction. Better things to do with my distraction seeking time. Yawn.
There is no more need to defend, clarify, explain, or show respect. Focus on positive opportunities that are coming your way. My humble advice.
Let them let it sink in.
So here's what I think I'm going to do. I'm going to try to turn over a more positive leaf because the time is ripe, and it's a good opportunity. All I have usually done over past decades was from an attitude or foundation of mass evil shit and how to struggle.
But how about if we seek opportunity from a positive foundation?
In other words, nothing is ever going to be perfect, but you don't see good and wholesome opportunities? RFK Jr. is now the head of health in the USA. Does that mean everything you hate about the establishment is going away overnight? Certainly not. That's the reality. Instead, are there new opportunities? Sure are.
In politics, is taxation as theft going away overnight? Certainly not. But what other inroads abound for creating stuff and keeping more of your money? A lot.
I'll have a couple of upcoming posts exploring opportunities in both health and business.
Onward. Be positive.
... A little slice of life from my end. What a gal, same gal. 95 pounds. "Far" out.
