  • There’s this fantasy book where a badass warrior monk flashes back to when his teacher taught him how to fight:

    A master monk is preparing to teach his young students the martial arts so he takes them out to the forest and says there is a war happening all around us. Who can tell me what it is? Finally one of the kids realizes and shouts it’s the trees!

    And the monk says yes and explains the resource competition and how all the trees fight to secure their place in the sunlight. Then he says “Today children, I will teach you how to war for space”. And the chapter ends.

    Shit was so cash. The Warrior Prophet by R. Scott Bakker





  • The good news is that these things pass, buddy. All things pass, and it’s almost over really. This economy, this president, they won’t last forever. This country, this current set of land masses, this current set of planets. It’s all gonna just…pass. Gonna be just one drop in a lake of space and an ocean of time. Gonna be pressed into a microscopic crease in the fabric of a spacetime already contorted by titanic folds of incomprehensible number and arrangement. Until it can hardly be said to have happened at all.
