Cashews are a good perspective-giver for how keenly you’re experiencing life.

If you don’t eat carbs for a few days cashews will taste really sweet, because your heightened sensitivity to glucose means your taste buds will more easily identify the small amount of sugar in the nuts.

Happiness works the same way, our sensitivity to it depends on the rate at which we’re exposed to thrill.

The happiest I’ve ever felt in my life was finally arriving at the Melbourne Assessment Prison in 2012.

For about a month prior to getting there I’d been kept in police station cells due to prison overcrowding.
I’d eaten only two slop microwave meals per day, had seen no sunlight, hadn’t showered, had no change of clothes and shared a holding cell with seven other detainees. We slept on the floor because there weren’t enough plastic pillows for everyone to make beds out of.

It’s actually a “human rights violation” to keep people in those conditions for longer than two weeks, but they just move you to a different police station after your two weeks has elapsed, as a loophole to reset the clock.

But after arriving at an actual prison, washing, shaving, putting on fresh clothes and sitting outside eating an apple in the sun, that was easily the happiest moment of my life. You could’ve given me a free Bugatti on a regular day said it’s yours to keep, it wouldn’t have compared to how thrilled I felt eating that apple that day.

The point is that without abstinence we don’t truly feel, taste or appreciate anything for what it is.

Going without even just for a little while dramatically enhances your experiences, gets more carbs into your muscles and just makes life easier to appreciate.

That’s what I was thinking about while eating these cashews.

New opinion from Blair Cottrell on why trying to convince the violent left that you're not racist is futile, and reverses progress made by far-right radicals.

Right-wing Australian senator Ralph Babet has called for the deportation of millions of immigrants in response to the results of the US midterms, where non-Whites overwhelmingly voted for the left.

Bondi Rescue is now largely a show about lifeguards catching Indian perverts

Australia’s oldest department store David Jones is crashing.

The company, under its first-ever female CEO Erica Berchtold just announced its insolvency. Massive store closures are expected before Christmas.

The retail giant is 188 years old, survived the Great Depression and two world wars, but it couldn’t survive modern multicultural Australia.

I’m noticing young content bros on socials don’t think violence exists except on screens or on the edge of some abstract thought-scenario.

“Shocking! We were just attacked by a gang of migrants! Follow me.”

Of course you were just attacked by a gang of migrants. Next time they’ll stab you because you’ll be too busy holding a camera and hoping they care about what’s legal or moral.

Bro crunches the data and discovers Australia isn’t permitted to have an actual Right-wing political option.

On the ballot we only have communists, socialists, neo-liberal globalists and egalitarian conservatives.

One Nation is the best pick but still sits left of centre due primarily to its idealistic egalitarianism.

The White Australia Party would have been the only one to form an actual Right-wing option but it remains banned by emergency legislation rushed in by the Labor Party in January of 2026.

This demonstrates how rigged Australia’s political system actually is.

Maybe that’s the whole point.

More obviously sensationalist propaganda= more antisemitism= more speech laws, more political prisoners, and more banned organisations.

The Russell Brand thing is just the modern version of a heretic being burned at the stake.

Personally I never thought much of him, but I can still see what’s happening because history ebbs and flows.

Russell committed heresy against three tenets of the modern secular dogma.

Firstly, especially in his early life he was a sort of “male sex icon”; a high-status, straight and confident White guy, with high perceived desirability and access to a lot of women, symbolic of “patriarchal power.”

Secondly, he (knowingly or not) committed sacrilege against consent-based sexual exchanges. He failed to be submissive enough to society’s women and didn’t grovel appropriately to their moods & demands.

Thirdly, in recent years he became a right-leaning anti-establishment commentator.

Russell was a prominent critic of Covid vaccines and lockdown mandates, he explicitly endorsed Trump, praised Tucker Carlson and regularly platformed right-wing guests on his podcast, which had over 6 million subscribers just on YouTube.

Guilty or not, Russell is a heretical effigy burning for his sins against “the gynocracy.”
