Ever since I got back and posted those six days worth of links in a retroactive row, I feel like I’ve been drowning in potential material.

Right now I have twelve video links open and I’d love to share every one of them. But … other than the one I just burned, about Flow States, they’re all more or less political, and maybe a third of them are about Ukraine. It is, as you know, The Current Thing. Alongside Amber Heard and the shitty cop in Uvalde.

I have nagging doubts that you’d actually want to watch twelve minutes on the subject of “How to Speak to Zombies About the Ukraine War”, or even hear me summarize them in two sentences. My market research indicates that there’s a 63% chance that’d make you frown and turn away, and a 32% chance that it would actively piss you off.

And even beyond your reactions, I have reasons of my own for wanting to be less of a radical wonk, and more of a belletrist. Please know that I’m tryin’ for real, for you and me both.

The open video windows kind of make me feel all dressed up with nowhere to go.

So for now, I’m gonna just post the least topical and most philosophical of the bunch, from the esteemed Primo Radical.

How Personality Cults Prevent Real Change

It’s good. I liked it. You might like it too if you’re in some fine openminded state of mind, but the odds are against it. And that’s all I have to say.

Moving along.
