Selfish to be selfless

“The extraordinary Gwyllm Llwydd asked, ‘Selfish to be selfless? Extrapolate dear sir, extrapolate.’ BTW Gwyllm is the author of my favorite new Substack ‘Gwyllm’s Newsletter’ Please subscribe so he’ll keep telling the tale”

“What drives me is a selfish reason: to be in a world in which I feel more at home. So, I interact to transform the world.” ~ Jorge Ferrer https://www.spreaker.com/user/ctrnetwork/mariapod22

“My reply is already too rich, fatty with a need to be cut by something sour — I’ll simplify it to anchovies”

“When in Denmark we stopped at an Italian pizza place — I ordered a Neapolitan pizza with anchovies — After I had my first bite I declared ‘I hate anchovies — and I need to remind myself every few years — I’ve always loved the ‘idea’ of anchovies — however — I had not learned to enjoy the real thing”

“Each of us is an entire universe — when we are born a new complete world comes into being — when we die an entire cosmos ends”

“Please don’t let random preferences and imposed cultural norms hamper occupying your unique universe — fully and with gusto”

Share Gate (Less)

“When I was challenged to ‘cook’ a self-portrait — I selfishly chose anchovies — It’s my universe after all — and in this universe — I do not want to be bound by ‘likes and dislikes’ — It takes deep selfishness to not be bound by externally imposed preferences”

“For example: When I worked on the Stock Exchange I noted a similarity between Market Makers and Anarchists — they both have tried to embody the being of freedom — If our culture did not indoctrinate the link between money and self-determination then only sociopaths would bother becoming wealthy”

“I apologize for the graphic egg consumption images — One of our fellow gatekeepers will not eat eggs because they represent the kinetic birth of infinite potential — The two animations above represent 2 radically different world views — once one has taken the plunge and taken charge of one’s own perceptual universe then one must allow for an infinite number of other worlds — other cosmoses — other points of view”

“I haven’t made myself clear — I’ve become lost in a maze of platitudes my arguments block out the stars and the sun — I Take full responsibility for it — Do you?”

“To misquote Love and Rockets: Simple as an anchovy And that's a complicated thing”

I give up y’all, sometimes I get lost here in Con/Jur/d land.

I was prompted at the top of this newsletter to translate from German to English.
