Profound boredom, drifting here and there in the abysses of our existence like a muffling fog, removes all things and men and oneself along with it into a remarkable indifference. This boredom reveals being as a whole. - http://madsimian.tumblr.com/post...
The science of climate change is pretty clear at this point: our current path leads to catastrophe. There’s plenty of uncertainty on the details, particularly in how fast and how much carbon reductions could affect the outcome. But that basic fact — status quo means disaster — is not in serious dispute. What if it were an asteroid heading toward... - http://madsimian.tumblr.com/post...

None of us has the time to live the true dramas of the life that we are destined for. This is what ages us - this and nothing else. The wrinkles and creases on our faces are the registration of the great passions, vices, insights that called on us; but we, the masters, were not home. - http://madsimian.tumblr.com/post...

Justice Scalia has no pity for the millions of gay Americans on whom sodomy laws and official homophobia have such an effect, so it is difficult to sympathize with his brief moment of “humiliation,” as some have called it. The fact that I am a law student and Scalia is a Supreme Court Justice does not require me to circumscribe my justified... - http://madsimian.tumblr.com/post...
The goal of terrorism is not to crash planes, or even to kill people; the goal of terrorism is to cause terror. Liquid bombs, PETN, planes as missiles: these are all tactics designed to cause terror by killing innocents. But terrorists can only do so much. They cannot take away our freedoms. They cannot reduce our liberties. They cannot, by... - http://madsimian.tumblr.com/post...
Even if we put aside the question of fetal personhood and assume that a fetus should have the same rights as a born human being, giving that fetus the right to use another person’s body for its surivval would give it privileges that born people do not have. In no other case is a person legally compelled to use their body and their internal organs... - http://madsimian.tumblr.com/post...
Torrenting out of sheer spite. Feels good, man.
I am just as concerned about disasters as anyone,” says Vinge. “I have this region of the problem that I’m more optimistic about than some people, but overall, avoiding existential threats is at the top of my to-do list. - http://madsimian.tumblr.com/post...

Daydreaming on the bus & the phrase "lachrymose mouse vaginas" entered my mind. I swear, I can't leave my brain alone even for a *second*!
Republican primaries prove their cynics have lost control of their madmen. Not good.

Central Asian/Eurasian politics can be easily dismissed as tired Sovietisms re-worked into cynical caricatures of the West. Unfortunately, as I get to know this part of the world better, I’m increasingly not so convinced that it’s us Westerners who are being mocked; instead, what’s happening to the concept of liberal democracy here is actually... - http://madsimian.tumblr.com/post...
“I would like to be deep;—and yet I shy away from the abyss in the human heart! …And when I now consider what others—who really were somebodies—had to suffer, then what I live through is nothing in comparison. And yet I am writhing under a comparatively tiny pressure.”

theastralcity: Inspired by another post here on Tumblr, I decided to look into the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong a bit more, it truly was one of the most amazing and terrifying places on earth. Being slightly smaller than an NFL stadium, the structure was built of 350 smaller interconnected buildings and hosted, at it’s peak, a population... - http://madsimian.tumblr.com/post...

Folks, it’s time to evolve. That’s why we’re troubled. You know why our institutions are failing us, the church, the state, everything’s failing? It’s because they’re no longer relevant. We’re supposed to keep evolving. Evolution did not end with us growing opposable thumbs. You do know that, right? There’s another 90 percent of our brains that we... - http://madsimian.tumblr.com/post...
