Children always have the best ideas

which is absolutely why we let them have sex with adults and sign legally binding documents and let them own guns.

After hearing aoc for months, i support moving the voter age to atleast 35

Hear hear.

If you can't be a president you can't vote for him.

If you can't have a conversation with using the word "like"

What if you're using simile?

I’d be in favor of raising the voting age to 25 tbqmfh

I think the only people who should vote are dead people, they have the most experience.

The dead are in the pockets of the necromancers though

And I don't think black magic practitioners have society's best interests in mind

Dead Lives Matter

Hi

Hello

Does anyone here know what happened to the Tim Pool discord? I was on it and now it's gone

Someone mentioned that Tim nuked it

So, you seem to have observed correctly

JDM didn't even know it was gone until *after* it was gone. The "backup" is all that's left

Tim got tired of dealing with the annoyances people were causing from what i heard.

Who is JDM?

Admin

is anyone a member of the "backup"?

Not sure how many people are there, but I wouldn't mind an invite

About 100. >50 active.

That's very little

Probably better that way though. Only a fraction of the member list participates anyway

Started reading some William Blake. This motherfucker is spicy

"As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys. "

Is Blake the one that wrote Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience?

If so, yeah, that dude got cynical af.

Yes

Reading through The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

"Prisons are built with stones of law, brothels with bricks of religion. "
Oof

And one for the culture war "As the air to a bird, or the sea to a fish, so is contempt to the contemptible"

Really? Brothels with bricks of religion? Is he suggesting that brothels wouldn’t exist without religion? Sounds like a fool to me.

After that read “The Great Divorce” by CS Lewis

I feel like the full meaning is hovering out of reach, but I think it's meaning is derived from the comparison. Laws are what send people to prison, maybe he's saying religion sends people to brothels?

CS Lewis annuls the marriage of heaven and hell in that book

Tbh Blake reads almost like a proto-Nietzsche

I think you have to consider in perspective that at this time the state and the church of england were the same entity.

so like a religious American would say to Blake "if your religion represses your sexuality, don't be religious"
