In the end, very high-level campus spy games forged the exact mindset I needed to write and defend my PhD. youtube.com/watch?v=z5rRZdiu…
Replying to @GeorgiaTech
@GeorgiaTech The amateur spies aren't so much the female staff as the students themselves—and as a former student, I'm guilty of such puerile subterfuge. The problem isn't females per se, but emotion itself. In fact, a female faculty member whom I accused of all sorts of things (I even joked to her face about helping ask the then-provost to require student-government witnesses at all her future student-faculty meetings). I prefaced and postfaced everything I said to her with "I'd have to be wildly wrong" for any of it to be false. I formally apologized once my PhD was signed off, and she graciously acknowledged it. In truth, in our meeting she modeled the "piercing gaze of rationality" in a way that transcended sex! She, like my friend Carla Cooke (Deputy Chief @GaTechPD ), is an Amazon: all woman while outperforming the men!

The subway in Japan is on a different level. I love how everyone is unbothered. Just another day in Tokyo.

Coming up with a single word for this book has been a peak experience: PRODUCTIVITY.
Replying to @Miss_Snuffy
In my experience true creativity is closely related to violence. And in the end, I found a book that describes exactly what I've observed among truly creative friends (and my experience with real creativity and that of Stephen Diamond, are in my 10% area of strong disagreement with what @jordanbpeterson has stated...I'm 90% in agreement with Dr. Peterson). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephe…

There are many such Black Americans. For example, my pastor and his wife @princw are like this.
🚨INCREDIBLE: A Black immigrant woman was asked what kind of Black woman votes for MAGA. Her answer shut it down! She replied: ā€œI am the kind of black woman who is educated. I have done several research on American history, I actually love American history. I’m also well traveled, having been to 5 out of the 7 continents. I love the Lord and my family and I love America. I am an immigrant and I care about what the future holds for my children and my grandchildren who have yet to be born. What I do today will affect them tomorrow. So, what kind of black woman am I to vote for MAGA? The kind that wants to Make America Great Again!ā€ Her response cuts through the assumption that race dictates politics. She listed education, travel, faith, family, and love of country as her reasons, not party loyalty or peer pressure. Voters make choices based on what they believe will protect their children and the future of the nation. This woman made that clear.

According Rollo-May-endorsed psychologist Stephen Diamond, Mr. Adams, most people with your level of energy end up angry, mad, violent, and/or evil. To channel the daimonic ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimon… ) like energy into creativity like you do is relatively rare. We take professionals, who have mastered the daimonic, like yourself for granted. For example, Steven Pinker makes many of the points about being rational, yet Pinker would also have us believe that humans can be mostly if not entirely rational. I started an article about Steven Pinker here: xitter.cf/EricCaleb208/sta…

I had a housemate once who was getting a masters in psychology. She encouraged me to get a library card to her school. I then looked through many books and watched many videos. That led me to zeroing in on Rollo May and Stephen A. Diamond.

Republicans can take heart: Democrats are so fractured right now that they’re unlikely to get anything concrete done over the next two years. The chaos that produces should work to Republicans’ advantage heading into 2028. #Midterms2026 #2028elections #dividedgovernment

🚨 BREAKING: Erika Kirk drops this statement after Dave Chappelle celebrates the assassination of Charlie Kirk "To see leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators laugh about political assassination as though it’s entertainment and the destruction of a human life is a punchline, is beyond disgusting." šŸ’” "You do not have to agree with someone’s politics to recognize the value of their life. This should not be so hard. Political violence must never be something this country tolerates, excuses, or celebrates." EVERY WORD IS TRUE šŸ™šŸ» Chappelle is just the latest. Jennifer Welch joked about "doing it again" to Charlie's grave! We are living amongst depraved people who want the right dead. We have to make a comeback and not EVER let them gain control of our country.

Gosh. I used to like Dave Chappelle. How do we not know right from wrong anymore? He does say ā€˜I shouldn’t say that’ So why does he say it? Because millions will endorse it. That’s the state of the West. We have lost our moral compass. 😱
Dave Chappelle: ā€œEver since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered, and I shouldn’t say this publicly but…. I feel better.ā€ This isn’t even comedy. It’s just sick…

🚨BREAKING: SecDef Pete Hegseth stares right at the press and goes scorched earth, spelling out their insanity! "You, and I mean specifically YOU, the press, you cheer against Trump so hard, it's in your DNA and in your blood to cheer against Trump, because you want him not to be successful so bad, you have to cheer against the efficacy of these strikes. You have to hope maybe they weren't effective." "Maybe the way the Trump administration is representative isn't true. So let's take half truths, spun information, leaked information, and then spin it, spin it in every way we can to try to cause doubt and manipulate the mind, the public mind, over whether or not our brave pilots were successful." "How many stories have been written about how hard it is to, I don't know, fly a plane for 36 hours? Has MSNBC done that story? Has Fox? Have we done the story how hard that is?" "There are so many aspects of what our brave men and women did that because of the hatred of this press corps are undermined because people are trying to leak and spin that it wasn't successful. It's irresponsible." "You're undermining the success of incredible B-2 pilots and incredible F-35 pilots and incredible refuelers and incredible air defenders who accomplished their mission." "How about we talk about how special America is, that only we have these capabilities? I think it's too much to ask, unfortunately, for the fake news. So we're used to that."

The lyrics in the Tracy Ullman song still hold up in my experience. A psychiatrist once told me I’m not crazy—just a rare type who thrives looking through a Jungian/Freudian/psychoanalysis lens. He only agreed to talk after I begged; said I was neither a danger to myself nor anyone else and he had better things to do. Yet his advice missed something big. In everyday life I tend to love non-psychoanalysts (i.e., behaviorists!) Behaviorists—especially the ones I click with—are the ones who actually help me build my skills in the real world: engineering, lifeguarding, whatever’s in front of me. They stay outside the black box and only work with what they can see: my inputs and outputs. I’m far more comfortable than most looking inside it. The strange part is that the behaviorists I trust most still manage to improve what’s happening in there. They never open the box. They just watch me carefully and keep adjusting the outside until the inside runs better. Yet such behaviorists themselves appear to be able to look into the abyss and have fun and play! I honestly think it's far harder for them than they let on and I have huge empathy and sympathy for them where others tend to have none. youtube.com/watch?v=SNchTKdR… Yet the best of them can stare into the abyss and still play. I think it’s far harder for them than they ever let on. Most people feel nothing for those I consider great men. I feel a lot for them.

This is the smartest decision Trump has ever made.
Stephen Miller: This whole period that happened after World War II where the West began apologizing and groveling and begging— Host: I don't even know what you're talking about right now. I asked you if there would be an election in Venezuela.
