OK. I did it, finally.

why am I feeling all this torment though? it's a mystery
@glyph "Good news everyone! I've innovated on the classic novel Don't put your hand in the Torment Nexus by jamming in both hands!"

@glyph the existence of evil doesn't come with a responsibility to stare directly into the evil at all times. Sometimes the most good you can do is to look away for a while and live a life.
This is why I practice direct action to help with basic needs (e.g. efoodnet.org), it's a way to fight evil while surrounded by good. Honestly I just cant let myself negatively spiral, and this is a better practice than avoidance.

@jay I am struggling a bit with _everything_ right now, as I am digging out of a multi-dimensional hole. but, the difficulty here in particular is simply that I have given myself a project that is much more challenging on more axes than I originally appreciated, and I'm kinda locked in on it right now. I think it's important to fight through this but the process is somewhat … adversarial, as the evidence is changing quickly and there are a lot of bad actors in this space

7500 words. now there's 13 sections, I think. I have been staring directly into the beam a bit too long
@glyph

Haven't we all?@gdupont that is after all the problem I am trying to help solve I guess

@davebauerart
That was a very good video - I'm glad I watched the whole thing. It did make me rethink how I interact with others.

8500 words, but that's after I just deleted my first section of about 800 words, which suggests that finally something like a shape of a final edit might be taking place

23 sections now… and *maybe* it has enough structure now that this is going to get released as a post-a-day series that runs for a month instead of just an apocalyptically huge monolithic mess

@glyph For what it's worth, I love me a long form I can save and read carefully. I also feel like the tide is shifting back that direction somewhat. But I'll of course happily read it in any form.
