Keys, pencils, papers, cash… Why would anybody need a plastic toy to fidget with?
Real fidgeting is done spontaneously with objects at hand.

Reïncarnation is better than physical immortality
Perhaps souls do indeed reïncarnate.
If so, reïncarnation is way better than any physical immortality, as it allows to live thru different upbringings in different bodies.
Beauty
Beauty is the symbol of good, and nature is the greatest source of it. Beauty and truth are inescapably linked.
We’re being surrounded with ugliness so we become nihilistic. Modern art is literally a CIA psyöp; drag queens are demons’ contractors. Beware the nation that embosoms postmodernism.
Let’s surround ourselves with beauty.
Tactility
Tactility is underappreciated. After all, an object needs to be touched to be fully understood.
Physical tools are often more fun than their virtual counterparts because of their tactility; this phenomenon is called the fiddle factor. The Force Touch trackpad and the Taptic Engine bring some liveliness to the virtual worlds.
Tactile items also have a practical benefit: they can be easily used in the dark. Tactile switches convey a sense of certainty.
I aim for everything that I touch to have a lovely lindy feel. Enjoy the paper tickets while they last.
Work
I work no matter what, because that’s what we, men, are supposed to do. In fact, we need to work more — so future generations aren’t faced with work that is even more threatening. Work should ideally be a favorite pastime; working time directives and many child labor restrictions should be axed.
Work ethic is essential; there is no excuse for bad work.
A lot of good work sadly goes unsung: few think about the unseen effort that it takes to keep society running smoothly. To all the invisible workers: thank you for your service.
Freedom spurs good work and creativity. Minimum wage legislation should be cancelled: it steals opportunities from beginners.
I seek work for what I will learn more than for what I will earn. I work selectively, in a flow state.
All of this said, the time people have to spend working should tend to zero: there should be no need for human work at all. Saying “TGIF” is a symptom of wage slavery.
Dating apps
Most dating apps wouldn’t be profitable if they helped folk get into long-term relationships.
Closed systems are potential traps
It’s easy to get out of a stuck tram. A stuck underground train, on the other hand, traps folk inside and forces them to wait for help.
Ditto for escalators and lifts. A broken escalator is just a technobrutalist staircase.
An ATM that requires inserting a card makes it too easy to forget it there. Such an ATM can also take the card away in case of a bug, has a place to attach a skimming device, and wastes folk’s time by forcing them to fiddle with things. An ATM that scans cards contactlessly has none of these issues.
Black tea time
If it’s too late to drink black tea, it’s too late to drink anything.
I don’t want to go to the bathroom at night.
Kukicha
Kukicha is a good tea.
Its name is especially fun to say. Kukicha!
Tolerance
Some tolerance is needed in society. It lets folk experiment and innovate — no problem was ever solved by applying a single technique in a uniform manner. Variety is healthy for both mind and soul.
But tolerating everything means standing for nothing. I will stand between my foe and everything I hold holy.
