Disillusioned Japanese tourists commit suicide in Paris. An abandoned soldier in the snowy mountains of Armenia. A regiment of pretty boys. Aurexion, a dope-ass name. We need a modern Xenophon.

The second half of our Siddhartha discussion: it's all bits this time.

The mysteries of youth. Mysterious notes I left myself three years ago. 9-year-old me thought we'd solved racism. The Hunger Games as a metaphor for societal collapse. Unsolicited opinions on falling birth rates and Somalia. The rise of India and China as super-powers. Trump cuts the brake lines on the car he's driving. We're officially Nazi sympathizers.

The futility of teaching through language. Samana of the woods. Kamala teaches us the ways of love. The buddha is a degenerate gambler. The buddha is my landlord and I'm getting evicted. Good friends who took separate paths in life come together once again. All humans are children and it's disgusting. The caged bird is set free, or it dies in its cage. We have forgotten the face of our father. The river flows, each drop rippling past rock, waterfall. Each drop replaced with the next, and the sound the river makes is "Ohm".

The AI Book club. Just kidding. The Alpha Book Club. Just kidding. The movie "Ghost Dog". An abusive father. The corrosive power of words. Joining the Japanese army in spring 1945. Overthrowing the Japanese Government in 1970. Clouds of semen. My best friend Hitler.  The tragic beauty of being utterly yoked in the shadow of death. The value of perspectives you disagree with. The genius of the America Party.

Dune. The Atreides and the Haarkonens. Feints within feints within feints. Schemes within schemes within schemes. Good, evil, and politics. The scene that made me put the book down for five years. The big men theory of politics. Sexism in the force. Mister Pickles. That one actor from the Emperor's New Groove whose voice I always recognize but name I can never remember. A book written by Epstein. Not that Epstein. Get your head out of the gutter.
