Ok... real talk... why is Stonehenge held up as the measuring stick for old things when Newgrange predates it by 1,000 years?

Newgrange also predates the Great Pyramids by 500 years...

just saying...

I swear there was a post that inspired me so much i wanted to right all of this interview monologue in the tags.

but looking back it doesn't seem to exist i guess

if you care that much you can always copy and paste

"I dont really look up to anybody" "um"

"i guess i have some-some favorite musicians that i like a lot"

"uhh" "but i dont emulate anybody"

Thinking about how Aziraphale invented lying.

Because Crowley did not lie when he tempted Eve— he told her exactly what would happen, if she took a bite of the fruit of knowledge. She would know the difference between good and evil. He did not lie about that.

But Aziraphale gave away the sword appointed to him by God Herself, and then spun the very first lie to protect himself from her wrath.

Regardless of whether it was a small lie, it was a lie all the same, and a lie directly to God. He, an angel, told the very first lie, thereby inventing the act of lying.

Wouldn’t it be funny if I did the good thing and you did the bad one?

[Man] loves the process of achieving, but does not really like to have achieved, and that is, of course, terribly funny. In a word, mankind is a comical construction; there’s a big joke in all of this, obviously.

love it when a sci-fi pinocchio allegory discovers that it is not the pursuit of an unattainable perfection, but the capacity for unbridled rage that truly makes him "human"

Medical racism isn't important to address just because it's mean to be racist to patients (I mean, it is mean), but because medical racism kills people. It contributes to systemic suffering of those deemed non-white, and the disinformation that spreads about non-white people.

For my part I have sought liberty more than power, and power only because it can lead to freedom. What interested me was not a philosophy of the free man (all who try that have proved tiresome), but a technique: I hoped to discover the hinge where our will meets and moves with destiny, and where discipline strengthens, instead of restraining, our nature.
