there are no coincidences.

anyone who has met an incidence knows they do not get along.

climate is spooky, like the thing in the horror movie “it follows”.

it's been a while since made the state a disaster area, but it's nice to see the Federal government formally acknowledging that.

getting so many texts and robot voice calls and siren-like long-tone warnings in the iphone about this hurricane it feels like the subtext is you're all gonna die.

erring on the side of making absolutely sure via every redundancy that everyone is warned might be the right choice. but it has some downsides too.

“Human beings find meaning only by living in ‘multiple realities,’ flourishing in those human sanctuaries where thought, creativity, friendship, love, and worship are nurtured and expressed.

Every correct tendency has an extreme that discredits it.

One has to simultaneously:

(1) identify what is correct,

(2) avoid succumbing to exaggerated, dogmatic, versions of even importantly correct ideas,

and

(3) avoid taking the existence of foolish, dangerous, even destructive extremes as a heuristic to decide that a tendency or set of ideas has no merit at all.

Nobody said this was easy.
