So, basically, it turns out that the behavioral monocultural hegemony of cishet white masculine supremacy is a lot of more integrated in every facet of the Game A simulation (“ Game A" and "Game B" refer to contrasting approaches to civilization and human systems. Game A represents the current, dominant, and often problematic systems, while Game B represents a potential alternative, characterized by collaboration, sustainability, and a focus on collective well-being). In Game A, there are modalities of Being that are incarcerated for no reason. In Game A, there are modalities of Being that are rejected from opportunities for no reason. Capricious and superficial reasons at best. Qualifications and experience simply do not matter. I wish they did, but they don’t. In Game A, the only winners are the median white American male. Special exemptions are given to the Brahmin class willing to betray the obvious lines of solidarity. I have a lot of aura. I am gifted. I’m a literal rockstar and I discovered computational astroharmonics. I’ve collaborated with Grammy nominated producers, have the blessings of Forbes30under30 alumni, I can literally count on one hand the amount of times that I have illuminated a concept or a product to a CEO. I invented the Ecotag (launch date 2030?). None of that will ever matter unless i submit to race and legacy based institutional hierarchies. Since I fit none of the black male archetypes of success that exists today (there are basically 4 versions of this 1. The corporate/military bootlicker, 2. The Rapper and 3. The Subservient Wagie and 4. The Class Traitor Black Nerd) the only black male archetypes that are allowed in Game A, there are virtually no collective or individual entities ever willing to recognize meaningful merit from someone like me. Romantically. Platonically. Professionally. Whatever. None of this is news to anyone familiar with Afro-pessimism. The resistance of wholly refusing to participate in these Systems has actually *cost me everything* and it is only by the grace of god, call it fate, call it whatever, that I ended up owning a bit of land here in nyc the toilet bowl sardine can center of the universe. And still it will never be enough. Now, unfortunately, this all does impact the rather quantified and collated Modern Courtship Economy which is ultimately the precursor to the fertility crisis. Because teen pregnancy is down, because no one is that stupid anymore to have kids in high school. We know this. The only suitors that anyone could ever rationally desire are White Males (or the nonwhite males that adopt white masculine culture in big conspicuously gulps of consciousness betrayal) or, in the case of the Black Male, the 4 archetypes. It literally doesn’t make sense otherwise. And at the end of the day, anyone schizophrenic enough to ignore Game A base level Maslow hierarchy of needs and ignore obvious desirous assimilation traits of White Patriarchy will be left behind or have no meaningful place in the dating arena. Anyway, to bring it back to the original point, I suggest that the fertility crisis is moreso a direct response to economic precarity, the inability for increasingly more people to afford anything ever, uncertainty in the markets, increased lack of conviction and belief in anyone and anything besides the men on the USD. 😭this is all off the top of my head stream of consciousness not really thinking too hard just saying how I feel about the fertility crisis, the Cold War between the genders along race and class (*even when there is OBVIOUS attraction, respect, interest, collaboration potential and harmony between two individuals) etc etc My biggest apologies if this all got too irrelevant.

type of musician that derails the rolling stone interview to go on a rant about acoustic telemetry, nanophotonics and harmony in the algebraic sense…

did u hear the one abt the nazi trillionaire?

"You look like a million bucks!" thanks but that's kind of an insult now that we have trillionaires

imho a podcast/video series idea where a host interviews guests while restringing guitars or doing various instrument tech/repair/maintenance work would be 🔥 I havent restrung a guitar in YEARS! always thought a pod on this would be cool tho

Did you know that in Romance languages, the word for work comes from a torture device? What system are we likely to create when that is the root of our vision of work? On the importance of embodiment, the Pope's new encyclical and the etymology of work. substack.com/home/post/p-201…

tonight's movie: Wayne's World (1992) they really don't make comedy movies anymore !!! was really struck by how soulful this movie is

RT @basedaleja: The Big Lebowski is like Friday but for white people

musical comedy used to be a thing. it was kind of niche but there was an audience. funny songs. guys and gals getting in front of an audience and singing funny songs. not so much anymore.

Knicks lost a round as soon as I left the city how interesting

I mean clearly this is what they should’ve done instead of a live action remake.
