I think the mistake a lot of people make is that they write to make a good work instead of writing to make themselves a better writer (who will eventually be able to make good works). The second promotes training and builds humility while the first is just narcissism.

"It's dumb weeb fanfiction" gave me permission to be bad, to vomit things onto the page that I knew fell far short of what I wanted it to be. To just write and write instead of laboring over six paragraphs for weeks like I'd always done before.
But I still *wanted* to be good.
Writing is HARD. And unfortunately, most people don't appreciate just how hard writing (or communication in general) is, and that cultural attitude infects writers, too.
You must give yourself permission to be bad. And realize that all writing is practice.
IT. COUNTS.
And as the folks in my mentions are pointing
It gave us hellcow, so it clearly worked

... it's an excellent way to find out what actually resonates with other people - putting work out there. Even your early bad stuff you'll cringe at later.
What resonates is NOT easy to tell, because we all, inherently cringe at ourselves, a lot.
\u201cDumb weeb X\u201d is a concept with a lot of power.

2/ While itās long been routine for wealthy interests seeking to buy access and influence over a president to do so by making large political contributions to his campaign and allied groups, itās unique to President Trump that these groups personally enrich him in the process.
3/ We've tracked 137 of these events since the day Trump took office. https://t.co/toIW0EJOyK

4/ And some of the big spenders have gotten their money's worth, as the NYT laid out earlier this month in a detailed report partly based on our data
5/ Groups large and small have learned that holding expensive events that the president profits from is a part of doing business in Trump's Washington, and it's paying off.
Take the AHRI, which spent $700k at Doral, and got a favorable decision within weeks

1. I am indeed disgusted with attempts to misrepresent and take out of context what I wrote on my blog yesterday.
RESPECT OTHERS

1. A teacher in France had his throat slit by an 18-year-old Chechen boy. The killer was angered by the teacher showing a caricature of Prophet Muhammad. The teacher intended to demonstrate freedom of expression.
2. Those who did that highlighted only one part of paragraph 12 which read: āMuslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people for the massacres of the past.ā
3. They stopped there and implied that I am promoting the massacre of the French.
4.If they had read d posting in its entirety & especially the subsequent sentence which read: āBut by & large the Muslims hv not applied the āeye for an eyeā law. Muslims donāt. The French shouldnāt. Instead the French should teach their people to respect other peopleās feelings
5. Because of the spin and out of context presentation by those that picked up my posting, reports were made against me and I am accused of promoting violence etc⦠on Facebook and Twitter.
Baudrillard noticed, before any reactionary blogger uttered such a critique, that we are now caught in a perpetual simulation and re-enactment of the revolutionary liberation that has long passed
The relatively static norms in our society have been called by the names of change and progress. Most people are conservative by nature, so they conform to the norm of \u201cprogress.\u201d Because of this sleight of hand, deeply conservative people believe themselves to be revolutionaries

When younger people resent āthe boomersā one gets the sense that what they resent most of all is that they have MISSED the orgy, and now they canāt discern their parents from the crowd.
After the orgy comes the gender war. I do not call it the sex war because letās bite a bullet, gender is only mostly correlated with sex, and lefty males are spiritual women, and THEY KNOW IT which is why they are so sympathetic to gender
Most dissident political opinion is driven by resentment of the opposite sex.

Leftwingness is primarily female and is driven by resentment towards men.
Rightwingness is primarily male and is driven by resentment towards women.
Since the dawn of agriculture at leastāfemale historians of both sexes tell usāwe have been living in Menās world, where women were brutally subjugated by men. Womenās liberation is the total reversal of this, a vengeful subjugation of men. This is dubious but letās lean into it
I know, I know, I call everything a religion. But when I say this word, religion, I mean there are certain affordances in the human psyche, and they are filled by memetic egregores, and when they are empty, they long to be filled
Pickup artistry (hereafter, PUA) is a religion, and in spite of its relative youth, it is quite a sophisticated one. I mean no offense to men who subscribe to these views when I analyze them. There are people who think āX is a religionā is a criticism. Wrong
I have identified six major components of religious memeplexes. There are other, lesser components. To review, they are: eschatology, false consciousness, religious ecstasy, dietary taboo, a nemesis, and evangelism. PUA has all of these
Beliefs and practices are connected, yes, but separable. At least, we can find examples religious behaviors that are isolated from a unifying doctrine. I dream of cooking up a religion in my kitchen: let\u2019s talk about the recipe

False consciousness: before you learned of the Venusian arts, you were an average frustrated chump. Now, using my FIELD TESTED system and techniques, you can become ALPHA and will be able to get as many beautiful women as you
False consciousness. An enumeration of false consciousness stories. Everyone in the world is deceived except you and your group. Usually contains a seed of truth, but overstates it and ignores/downplays contrary perspectives.

Eschatology: the West is in decline, have you heard of Spengler? Donāt waste your time trying to fix it. Iāll be poolside, enjoying the decline by using game to get as many flags as
Eschatology thread. An enumeration of the ways the world will end. If we know the beginning and we know the end then we know our place in the world. Eschatology frames humanity, and it gives a meaning to death, which means it gives a meaning to life
