Tariffs or no, I want as little to do as possible with global systems of exploitation—systems that ravage the environment, enslave lives for cheap labor, and drown all meaning in marketing and manipulation.

Don’t forget that we are embodied beings who thrive in communion with nature

Let’s constantly prune our lives of excess and superfluity to reveal the raw, unprocessed, and wild core within. That is a return to human.

Unknowingly, we often serve as walking billboards for big corporations. Have you ever tried unbranding—removing logos and labels from clothes, tech, and other consumer goods?

The modern world carefully turns real, authentic experiences into managed, simulated ones that can be bought and sold.

Our lives are controlled by social programming. Lies that tell us we’re not good enough unless we consume the right products and follow the right scripts. Examine your motives. Be yourself.

Yes, health is a moral imperative. And vitality is a moral value. It is a revolt against lethargy, domestication, and the forces that seek to suppress and control our humanity. Come back to life.

Tinkering with PT tests is fine, but if ⁦@SecDef⁩ wants us FIT NOT FAT we need to make PT count towards promotion. Now. Officers and enlisted. military.com/daily-news/202…

Pope Leo XIV rightly recognizes that we face a crisis of meaning in our bureaucratic society that has institutionalized and commoditized the human out of us.

Reading Rerum Novarum, I’m impressed by the alignment with thinkers like Paul Goodman, Ivan Illich, Michael Huemer and ⁦⁦⁦Charles Eisenstein⁩ . Clear suspicion of the dehumanizing effect of centralized power and emphasis on voluntary associations. vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

Resistance to ultra processed foods is an act of rebellion

Have you ever tried to find healthy lunch options on a military base? If we want our warriors to be FIT, NOT FAT we need to shape the environment to support healthier norms. @SecDef Secretary Kennedy #MAHA

Every day, you’re either constructing the future you believe in or unconsciously adapting to someone else’s system.

I cultivate vitality because my body is the foundation for my strength, energy, and engagement

One of the great disappointments of growing up is realizing most adults are just playing at real life.

The modern world domesticates humans through coercive institutions that strip us of agency, vitality, and meaning. Freedom begins when we stop believing in their moral authority and start rebuilding life at a human scale.

We’ve created systems so complex only corporations and bureaucracies can navigate them. Everyone else is boxed out.

When systems are too dense to navigate: People don’t start businesses; they get jobs. They don’t manage their health; they obey prescriptions. They don’t learn; they buy credentials. The result is a society of compliance, not self-sufficiency.

Modern society sells death in disguise. Alcohol as celebration when it’s sedation. Processed food as convenience when it’s corrosion. Screen addiction as connection when it’s alienation. Comfort as luxury when it’s stagnation. Spectatorship as leisure when it’s decay.

Much of what you call thinking is just the internalized voice of authority. You’re not thinking, you’re repeating.
