  • Not necessarily news but relevant given the LA fires and other recent natural disasters in the USA alone. There is some kind of poetic justice here that the empire that threatens the environment of the only home that humans have, should receive the worst of its wrath when it isn’t respected (of course most of the people don’t deserve this). Also curious that what gives the USA a geopolitical advantage (being between two very large oceans etc) also creates for more varied and possibly violent climate.

    Blame geography for the U.S. getting hit by stronger, costlier, more varied and frequent extreme weather than anywhere on the planet, several experts said. Two oceans, the Gulf of Mexico, the Rocky Mountains, jutting peninsulas like Florida, clashing storm fronts and the jet stream combine to naturally brew the nastiest of weather.

    Tornadoes. Hurricanes. Flash floods. Droughts. Wildfires. Blizzards. Ice storms. Nor’easters. Lake-effect snow. Heat waves. Severe thunderstorms. Hail. Lightning. Atmospheric rivers. Derechos. Dust storms. Monsoons. Bomb cyclones. And the dreaded polar vortex.

  • He hangs around some new age spiritual types like Aubrey Marcus who are big into the plant medicines and healing rituals & practices from indigenous cultures in Central & South America (Ayahuasca etc etc). While I don’t doubt that these plant medicines do offer healing to people, I do find this group of people incredibly cringe though because the lives they project are very rich from a material standpoint and the events they put together almost sound like they’re big orgies (I have zero evidence that that actually takes place, just the vibes I get when they make these events ‘for singles only’). Also that guy has a relative who invented the fleshlight and Aubrey himself made money selling some type of brain food cognition enhancing supplement.
