I've been mostly absent online lately and I'm sorry, I know it made some of you worry. A very good person passed away. I'll be back to normal when I can.

When I was a kid, my first real internalisation of death came from a book. It was Man Meets Dog by Konrad Lorenz. In the final chapter, Fidelity and Death, he talks about the grief of a dog’s shorter lifespan. Dogs live only about one-fifth as long as humans. ...so a human will watch a beloved dog age and die far sooner than any human born on the same day. He writes that in human life "all pleasures must be paid for by sorrow." I decided then that I would never have pets. But I still have to pay the price for dealing with and caring about people whose lifespans are shorter. For different reasons, yes. And those reasons are exactly what make them the best people to be around.

I feel that mourning is a form of jealousy: they have escaped this damned world and left you alone in it, a place you were never meant to be in the first place, forced now to keep enduring it, locked inside the prison of your meatsuit… “And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive. But better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 4:2-3

"Political revolution" is an oxymoron ...like dry water.

Oh, I see :) These are good people and good friends of the bazaar (not the formal team). Appreciate you clearing that up - I'm relieved now :)) 🤘

GM! I saw the discussion in your recent episode where you mentioned receiving a DM from “someone from XmrBazaar.” Just to clarify: I have never contacted you, and as far as I know, no one from the XmrBazaar team has either. If the person who messaged you is not me or Douglas Tuman, then it's an impersonator with unclear purposes. Please be cautious with any future messages claiming to be from XmrBazaar. I recommend verifying the source directly before engaging.
