Never fall in love with your own prose.

You have not considered what it would mean for you if I am right. You need to. Now.
To those I care about:
That you think I’m crazy is not primarily an insult to me. It makes me feel sad for you.
If you feel insulted in what’s to follow, ask yourself how I must feel, having spent days, weeks, months, or longer trying to convince you to reconnect to your humanity.
And please do not do yourselves or me the favor of pretending, “well, I don’t think you’re crazy, but…”
I don’t care to be lied to. I do not lie to you.
The extent to which it bothers me that you think I’m crazy is the extent to which I have overestimated who we are to one another.
I know you think I’m crazy because if you did not, you would have to admit I might be right. If I am, you would be wrong about most of what you believe when it comes to how the world works and your place in it. That horrifies you.
It should not horrify you because there is still time for you to understand.
I will not try to convince you that by coming to terms with the fact that most of what you know is wrong, the world becomes a far better, more open, more honest, and more exciting place, though it unquestionably does.
I want to focus on the fact that if you examine your mind, you’ll discover that you have not once thought about what it would mean if I am right. You know I’m not stupid, or lazy, or uninformed, or malicious, or dishonest, or mean-spirited, or gullible, don’t you? I know you do.
So you tell yourself instead that I am crazy. But you don’t even go that far, because it seems too extreme. Moral clarity frightens you. You convince yourself, ‘he’s not crazy, but he’s crazy about this’, as if that’s even a coherent thought. You think it makes sense because you mistake passion or focus for insanity. Have you never been passionate about something? Have you never been focused on something?
Can you only know you’re not crazy when certain other people agree? Do you understand that my view of these important issues now shares vast majority support? Your view is now the view outside the mainstream. Your view is shared by everyone who stands to continue benefitting from the mass adoption of the belief you hold and virtually no one else.
The number of people continuing to benefit from the world your position has created is decreasing, ever more rapidly. The number of people being harmed by the world your position allows is increasing. As the harm grows, people reach a personal precipice at which they understand it is the worldview itself creating the harm. At this point, they release their hold on the false reality your worldview espouses.
...more..much more...
Just make it rhyme.

Nah, they're trash.
A bunch of insane garbage and greasy old ladies talking
about what kind of essential oils and bee pollen to rub
on they crusty old saggy butts.

Never fall in love with your own prose.
But my prose is so dang lovable.
:: when confronted with hard truths about oneself, rather than face that truth, a man will criticize something completely irrelevant to the point in an effort to shift the discussion away from himself. ::
Repeatable.

And PRECISELY what the substack author was writing about.
Disengaging and re-direction to avoid cognitive dissonance.

“‘The Name of the Rose’ turned me off, and I never went back...”
The Name of the Rose... put Sherlock Holmes, medieval church history, and some latin in a blender and mix well. I liked it but maybe because I was familiar enough with that arcane junk to find the story line clever.
” Maybe you should find a different arena that’s a little safer for you.”
The irony is that the Q cult has its own little “safe space” on FR where they don’t have to worry about sanity intruding.
The true irony is that you consider yourself sanity. My feelings on the subject are that anyone (you) still under the indoctrination of the enemy (Matrix) is insane in the membrane.

I’m certain that you must have quite a fan base in the abnormal psychology field. Hanging on your every word, so to speak.
I'm certain that you think your comebacks are quite extraordinary and a cut above all others. Allow me to disabuse you of that faulty notion. You are quite pedantic and less than average on the burn scale.
I’m certain you are both ‘on the spectrum ‘.
Could be. He's kinda cute.
I've gotten more selective in my declining years though.
Q followers are irony challenged and it shows in nearly every post they make. They castigate us “normies” for “never considering we might be wrong.” Yet they are so very certain they possess Truth with a capital T and never consider they might be wrong. And they accuse us “normies” of distracting from whatever nonsense they post here when that is precisely what they do when challenged — usually with personal attacks, insults, name calling and baseless accusations. They simply can’t debate using the facts and reason. And they have this weird idea that whoever slings the most insults “wins”. It’s like they’re still little boys.
