[FRIAM] Everything she knows...

[Marcus Daniels]

I can't get into the details, but I was recently in a situation where I was very confident of a risk to some people I know.   It turns out this risk became a reality and it played out almost exactly as I expected.   I even warned in an edgy way to the point of hurting their feelings.   It was positive thinking that got them in trouble.    They assumed boundaries on the actions of others that I did not assume.

    I've never heard of the Cosmic Muffin. But your description sounds like something a friend was into:

    He and his SO at the time suggested I watch the movie with an open mind.  So, I did, and subsequently wrote these two log entries:

    I re-read those entries before sending this to be sure my self from 4-5 years ago doesn't sound too stupid.  But, IDK.  Life's too short to be embarrassed.

They fail to see how they are a source of negative entropy and thus in fact an energy barrier for the larger population, and more often than not a tyrannical one.   No, we all need to suffer and sort it out for ourselves.   Spiritual freeloaders are not welcome -- they are just dangerous force amplifiers for `leaders' who in the end make a mess of everything.
