Tau11 – My Journey of Lifelong Learning

This is a living archive of my thoughts, experiences, and hard-earned insights, drawn from an unusual life. Here you’ll find reflections on the food I’ve eaten, the things I’ve bought, the people I’ve encountered, the places I’ve seen, the books I’ve read, the quotes I’ve kept, and the trends I’ve spotted and capitalized on.

I write this for you, my children, those already here and those yet to come. Daddy loves you more than words can hold. I want each of you to live lives you’re proud of. This is my thinking, in my own voice, left here for you to explore. I hope one day it proves useful.

If, by some unlikely chance, I’m gone before I can guide you in person, let this stand as a poor substitute. But in the more likely case that I’m still here, let this serve as an intellectual archive, a record that I held these convictions long before you were born. May that give weight to my words, and credibility to the wisdom I hope to pass on to you.

Thought on why Buddhism is Dumb

If you think that state-change, being one with the world, and being at peace is so awesome,  you should check out the great work that the Tibetan monks have been doing over the last  1000 years or so.

They are chill, really at peace, and can even lower their body temperature at will solely through the power of thought.

Of course, they also don’t’ invent anything, are genetically eradicated by the Chinese, can’t’ enforce their borders, have no medical progress, and I wouldn’t be surprised if their teeth were in pretty shit.

If you focus on the journey inward instead of the journey outward, then people on the outside will crush you.

While you are dicking around trying to feel like an enlightened human, the real world is coming for your limited resources, they will eat your lunch, and it will not be pretty.

Try to fuck around in the virtual world of buddhism, video games, and drugs to the minimum, or know the cost.
