I’m going on a journey this month to clean out some things hanging out in my brain for a while now. I promise you it’s not a journey into narcissism but rather information I made a mental note of to talk about but never got around to doing so. It may change some of your lives for the better, but more than likely it’s just (hopefully) interesting to note. We’re starting off with the philosophical appetizer of luck vs hard work and the “misuse” of the terms fortune and luck. A ton in the audio blog, but for you reader only folks - read this article. Unfortunately, I think it’s AI generated (the site) and copied from multiple sources and authors. The information checks out (to me), but there are no citations. Sucks, but I really tried on this one to credit the original folks.
I would assume correctly that a lot of my typical monthly visitors are a much older crowd than my weekly regulars. It’s strange to have two audiences, but it’s a byproduct of my unhinged interests across many things. A lot of modern pop culture was built off the back of frauds and misinterpretation of the facts, and it’s funny to see this decades later for what it was. Ironic that in the modern era it takes a few minutes to fact check anything practically yet claims by various influencers on social media are taken as fact and gospel. In other words, people will believe what they want to believe, death touch or TikTok recipe be damned.
You don’t have to record everything you do in your life digitally. I think this factoid gets lost in translation with the younger crowd. Making a memory and sharing a story verbally is just as good, if not ironically better if podcasts are to measure against. As a word of encouragement, everyone who’s reading this right now (you) have interesting stories to tell. You just have to make sure to document them in some form. Eventually family, friends or thousands of people will be curious about your tales; and you better hope that you have the details squared away.
Artist is Mitsu Art
Artist of the month is Mitsu Art. Not only do they have their own website, but they’re also very talented. As with my more “distinguished” monthly viewers, we like our waifus a bit classier. Nothing screams classy than 2B from Nier Automata and an Egyptian themed costume!
