CORRECTION: "its insane to think that.... some people know what they're talking about and others don't"

SHOULD BE "it's insane to deny that ...some people know what they're talking about and other's don't.'

IN OTHER WORDS: of course there are experts and there are fools, and they are no the same thing.

Does what we like choose us or do we choose what we like?

What makes something good?

What is it like to be you?

Not the other way around.

Nothin

I salute you imperfect monster

my vibe around the whole thing. too vague?

Chill

Hopped up technobros want you to believe that there are two realities and they are the self appointed gate keepers. There is only one reality, the Matrix is a metaphor. This is not a drill.

Conscious, thought driven will is overrated in creative endeavors.

Patience doesn't mean being ok with slow results or not pushing forward like an absolute beast.
