Just posted a new video responding to the most common skeptical critiques I get about astrology!
If you're a skeptic or a reluctant believer, I've probably addressed your go-to argument here. Curious to hear what you think!

Villains are what make stories great. When you become the perfect villain of a story, you are contributing just as much to its greatness as the hero.
There is no great story without a complex, relatable villain. Otherwise you're just watching a cartoon.
Most people are too his because their immediate impulse is to hate the villain with a fiery passion.
But often that hatred is so intense precisely because they recognize something of themselves in the villain. They have to insist that he's an irredeemable monster to protect their own sense of moral superiority.
The villain is as essential to the story as the hero, and real media heads love them both equally.

The twerpy straight guy is the most universally despised male archetype because he combines masculine entitlement with feminine social aggression, without the cultural license of being a woman or a gay man.
But this also makes them the greatest reality TV characters of all time. o drive romantic plotlines while simultaneously engaging in the sinister social warfare of the female cast. They're boyfriend and mean girl at the same time.
Spencer Pratt invented the genre in The Hills, Scott Disick and Jax Taylor perfected it on KUWTK and VPR, and Billy Evans has now brought it to prestige documentary filmmaking in You Can See Everything.

The idea that profiting off of your own story is unethical is so obviously manipulative Hollywood studio bs it shocks me that Nathan Fielder chose to make this the gotcha of the entire last third of the movie.
Don’t profit off your story cuz that would be bad, yeah it’s only ethical if we’re the only ones that profit off of your story.

Elizabeth Holmes and her husband are soulmates. Part of his role in their connection is to shoulder some of her karmic debt. By becoming the villain in her story, he offers her a reprieve from the narrative the world has constructed around her.

“These AI hacks are going to come for everyone. They already are… It's just that Bitcoin is the ideal thing to target because it's open source and it's money.”
@realizingerin called it on TFTC three weeks ago. This week an AI-found PHP flaw knocked government websites offline.

Be careful what you agree to during today's Libra New Moon. What feels settled might not stay settled.
You might want compromise, but that doesn't mean other people do. There may be resentment under the surface.
This feels more like a negotiation than a clean new beginning.

This is so obviously a lavender marriage. Richard goes to Bohemian Grove once a year to get wild with the boys, Emily is his fag hag who knows everything.
