Taleb's dictatorship of the minority is a fascinating treatise. I see it everywhere after having read it.

On, the masks at work thing, I wonder if it will finally end when enough people have proven anti-bodies (or a vaccine). I got a test for anti-bodies last week, just for the hell of it, but no luck. I evidently have not yet been exposed despite my best efforts at mingling everywhere.

I wonder, if I had come back positive, could I get away not wearing a mask at, say, Santa Cruz Whole Foods? Suck it, I'm immune!

At this point, I wear a mask much like I wear shoes or a tie. I think it is all ridiculous cargo cult - but, it is easier to fit in socially and accomplish whatever it is I intend to accomplish if I have shoes/mask/tie on in places that expect it.

I was in Oregon and California over the weekend and, even there, you can see some people rebelling. I'm back in the midwest now and only service people are wearing masks - and usually very casually and disdainfully.


It WAS fascinating to read ....

Just finished spreading my dad’s ashes at buntzen lake. I can see why he wanted here to be his final resting place. It’s quite a stunning area.

Also, burial plots here in Vancouver start well into 5 figure territory. The old man was pragmatic.

Cremation will be the way to go for me too!!

We haven't met, Mr. Smith, but depression does, in fact, suck balls.

You are in my prayers.

Do you have a good therapist? If not, I very strongly encourage that.

Sriracha sauce and mayo is an excellent combination.

That is all.

Goodnight.

Ok, I'll play...

Soy sauce and Miracle Whip on spring rolls is also an excellent combo.

More MW if you like sweet, more soy if you like salty…mess around with the proportions to dial it into your taste preference. If you have a good Asian market near by dark soy sauce I think tastes best but the cheap stuff in grocery stores is fine just saltier.
