' On November 5, 2024, however, no one β I repeat, no one β inquired as to whether I fed the poor, comforted the vulnerable, or just held the door open for someone with packages in their hands.
No one asked me if I fact-checked content (including memes) β especially when I agreed with the information β before I shared it.
No one asked me if I actively sought out reminders that positive experiences and events far outnumber and outweigh all the online gloom and doom.
No one asked me if I interacted joyfully with others even though they may have disagreed with some of my firmly held beliefs.
No one asked me if I did essential inner work to sanctify myself that day.
No one asked me if I had a single original thought on November 5, 2024.
Indeed, I walked around my neighborhood secure in the knowledge that I would not be interrogated about my ongoing efforts to encourage others to live a life of purpose.
Did anyone ask me if I believed in miracles and was thus doing my part to create such miracles?
Of course notβ¦ all I heard on November 5 was βDid you vote?β
This three-word query, of course, really means: βDid you publicly virtue signal to impress [sic] your echo chamber?β
βDid you vote?β is shorthand for:
βDid you obediently wait in line at a predetermined time and place to choose from two permitted options to present the illusion that youβre a sovereign, informed spirit who allocates time and effort in the name of shifting human culture toward justice, discernment, radical honesty, and love?β '

"Did you vote?"
Translation: Did you publicly virtue signal to impress [sic] your echo chamber?

' There's an apocryphal sequel to the story of the shepherd boy who cried "wolf!". And it is that when the village buried him, they made sure to inscribe on his gravestone the following words, "We were the wolf all along."
Alright. I'll admit. It is only apocryphal because I just made it up.
However, observe how this addendum transforms a simple Aesopian fable about honesty into a study of how systems of care produce their own "wolves".
The "wolf" wasn't an external threat but the very system of care and control that claimed to protect. The community's attempt to regulate truth/deception through punishment produced its own beasts.
As the institutional care of dominant politics breaks down, as politics becomes a vassal for something else, revealing other desirous vocations that disrupt the idea of the isolated discerning human subject, may we find the openings to do more than we think possible now. Something more compelling than victory (and the moral assemblage that makes finish lines and trophies meaningful) shimmers in the near-distance. Something that urges us to lose our way, together.
Blessings to my siblings around the world... especially in the United States. We will need new forms of care now. May we be found anew.

never use or mix bleach for anything... chlorine is the original chemical weapon and most toilet bowl cleaners use a mix of bleach and other cleaners and its why it reeks of chlorine after use... highly toxic and another form of eugenics....
