Symbols are vague and are not good at stating things. Another example: Uber. They paid a graphic designer to design a logo that nobody gave a shit about.

I get what this video is saying and I\u2019m grateful most of the time which does the things the video says (feeling good about yourself, not caving to depression). But it\u2019s still some bullshit. The dire pace of incremental progress is fucking with me. Am I grateful that change is that slow? Fuck no. Am I grateful to the state of the world where money is so central to personal development, when I know and understand that money\u2019s made out of thin air and not fairly shared? Fuck to the no.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m reading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/22237161-the-sellout\">Paul Beatty\u2019s The Sellout<\/a> and it\u2019s hilariously brilliant. Loving it. It needs to be an animated movie like Mind Game for which I would direct the sound. It would be the best thing ever made by two black men since 2 Nigs United 4 West Compton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So much work I can\u2019t even. 52 things I learned in 2019.
