"You Can See Everything is a film about the tension between two modes of deception. Holmes uses deceit to tell big lies, and Fielder uses conceit to tell strange truths. The film ends with a strangely moving shot of them playing together in the ocean. Maybe this is just another joke, with the documentarian drowning the last morsels of his reliability as a narrator. Or maybe, in the end, there’s something honest happening in the water, as two masters of artifice see in each other that rarest thing: an unerring commitment to the bit."

It’s a very good movie but if your takeaway is that Elizabeth Holmes might be a neurodivergent victim I think you have forcibly disconnected yourself from reality. More specifically, she *obviously* gets The Who’s on First joke—and is profoundly motivated to pretend she doesn’t.

Opinion | In retirement we, too, wait for Godot

The mystery we can never fully grasp is about how to navigate from day to day, stay aware and survive the drama, Graydon Royce writes.

Nancy Pelosi, who is regularly hammered for her perceived insider trading, has made 213 total trades since 2014. Trump exceeded that number in a single day, which just happened to precede his own tariffs announcement. My latest on the mind boggling self-enrichment:

Characteristics of *actual* banned books: - Amazon refuses to sell bc it violates their “offensive content policy” - online forums discussing it are filled with ‘we need to do something’ anons (FBI) - people will fly around the world to murder you for translating it

Jung disturbingly observed that what we have ignored or denied inwardly will then more likely come to us as outer fate. “So, where did this outcome, this event, come from within me?” is a most critical, and potentially liberating, question. ~James Hollis

We quite forget that we can be as deplorably overcome by a virtue as by a vice. There is a sort of frenzied, orgiastic virtuousness which is just as infamous as a vice and leads to just as much injustice and violence. ~CG Jung

“I’d rather my children learn through Shakespeare comedies that authority and moral self-regard tend to make people stupid than have a teacher or a pundit use news stories about the Middle East to explain the meaning of good and evil. The whole point of a great book or painting or beautiful music is that they teach universal, eternal truths that are more vital than political opinions, which by nature are transient and possibly incorrect.”

Matt nails it here: “The moral of the story: if you think an “apolitical” stance is just an indirect form of support for the status quo, remember that it doesn’t take long for a revolution to succeed and become an even worse status quo.”

A passage for the nonconformists, outsiders, and anyone else with the courage to go their own way.
Do not cringe and make yourself small if you are called the black sheep, the maverick, the lone wolf. Those with slow seeing say a non-conformist is a blight on society. But it has been proven over the centuries, that being different means standing at the edge, means one is practically guaranteed to make an original contribution, a useful and stunning contribution to her culture. When seeking guidance, don't ever listen to the tiny-hearted. Be kind to them, heap them with blessing, cajole them, but do not follow their advice. If you have ever been called defiant, incorrigible, forward, cunning, insurgent, unruly, rebellious, you're on the right track. – Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run with the Wolves

Honestly, too many solid quotes “Modern medicine has an extraordinary capacity to treat acute illness and save lives. But much of health and healing unfolds in a murkier realm, where biology becomes difficult to disentangle from the psyche, spirit, and environment” -@MoMoPerry

An estimated 17 million Americans live with Long COVID. Most have been told there is little that can be done and to wait. Researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center published something different. A pilot study on adults under 60 who had lived with Long COVID for at least 9 months. The intervention was not a drug. It was a specific form of neuroplastic recovery therapy.

I asked the legendary he/him trans lesbian bête noire of the long Covid bar, Soe Noire, if I could interview him, and he did not disappoint, saying: “hell naw “your eyes are untrustworthy and your face is upsetting me. please shift” I don’t even know what that means, but I am reveling in the presence of a legend.
