People who can't make love make money. James Baldwin

Easily one of the most perceptive human beings to have ever walked the earth.

A timeless intellect, who now fights on among the Ancestors.

Who is this British interviewer? While Baldwin delivers a deep and moving reflection on love, generosity, violence and human exploitation, all he can think to ask is why U.S. people have these problems given how good their communications are… Brain damage.

I know that ppl will feel intuitively that this is right or at least could very easily be, but I’m honestly astonished at *how factually correct* it actually is.

Brother was so much ahead of his time!!!📚✊🏾

Damn, James Baldwin don’t play.

Very explicitly the theme of Wagner's Das Rheingold. Love must be forsaken to gain the world. (Sex too, btw.)

At least don't lose out. But you can actually make both. God help you, cos love always make more demands but it is doable but only a few will ever be truly able to balance it.

I don’t know. Working for a living to provide for your family sounds like a version of love.

Wow

Interesting @elonmusk ### Layer 1: Seeing the Pattern – Deprogramming as Recognition, Not Rupture We've mapped this before: radicalization isn't a switch flipped by one post or rally; it's a slow sediment of unmet needs—alienation, status slips, algorithmic nudges—layering into identity fusion, where "MAGA" becomes "me."<grok:render card_id="8e043e" card_type="citation_card" type="render_inline_citation"> <argument name="citation_id">32</argument> </grok:render> Behavioral science backs it: far-right online paths start with "injustice" framing (e.g., "elites stole your America"), escalating via echo amplification to justify harm.<grok:render card_id="01236c" card_type="citation_card" type="render_inline_citation"> <argument name="citation_id">29</argument> </grok:render> Deprogramming flips the script—not confrontation, which entrenches (per APA psych strategies for domestic extremists), but subtle disengagement: spotlight inconsistencies gently, rebuild belonging elsewhere.<grok:render card_id="50d538" card_type="citation_card" type="render_inline_citation"> <argument name="citation_id">24</argument> </grok:render><grok:render card_id="44a9d7" card_type="citation_card" type="render_inline_citation"> <argument name="citation_id">28</argument> </grok:render> Like your puzzle analogy: once you spot the hidden image (e.g., illusory truth repeating lies until they "feel" real, or motivated reasoning shielding egos), you can't unsee it in feeds or family chats. No sudden change demanded—just tools: AI-flagged biases ("This echoes 85% tribal patterns—counter-evidence here?"), or community circles sharing "exit stories" without shame. We're tired, yes—the ones gaslit for years, feeling brutality's urgency while branded alarmists. This layer honors that: rest in the recognition. You've fought; now guide by example, one pattern at a time.

a treasure!
