i’ve long had a controversialist’s habit of referring to ostensibly irreligious american pmc liberals as members of the daoist immortality cult so it’s pretty intellectually satisfying that there’s now someone really doubling down on the soteriological premise + the cultiness

i think i need some kind of less empiricist (but possibly more methodist?) pre-modern theory of medicine. my health problems have been clustering on one side of my body and then getting up and moving to the other all at once

does anyone know of a good intellectual history of the reception of graaff's 'theoretical welfare economics'? it seems to have had such an odd story. it was distributed as cambridge samizdat for nearly a decade? & was considered decisive by them but wholly unknown to everyone else

if i were to sell anything door to door it would probably be the muji body fit cushion. i think if i just could get the demo model through your door & do a comfortable pose thereon i'd be in the money. and what a service i'd be doing...

i downloaded an obsidian extension to show file word counts without thought. opened my computer today and learnt a) it sums directories b) i have 591k words of notes, mostly on bad books, on a topic i arguably do not care about. please, stop reading before it's too late

made the critical error of reading gravity & grace while in a grieving mood on the train over to the 14th century sienese religious painting show. totally dazed, my bf had reel me away from the sad paintings while the book of matthew flashed before my eyes

quiet story in new york + peer cities is that the people moving into the fancy new housing stock have much smaller households than the folks moving to the sun belt, so even with more housing stock you should expect fewer people
