What are your hobbies?

I had this thought yesterday: Being a furry is genius form the perspective of the dao. According to Laozi, weakness is power and power is weakness. If you think about is it's true. The most alpha males you see are actually always the most fragile people.

Dressing up as a cute furry animal that goes around and hugs people is incredibly powerful bc it is so simple. If you have the furrsona of some animal that just exists to be cute and nothing else, that you can just switch on once in a while, is extremely grounding. What this means paradoxically is that you can strive to even more power than any alpha male since you have this regular grounding mechanism in your life that makes you routinely detach from your power and therefore prevents attachment to this power.

This matches with experience. Furries are often people with very high salaries. I want you to look up the price of a furry suit (they are almost always custom-made).

Thoughts on crinklers?

I had to google😂. Saying no would undermine my point so yes absolutely lol.

A crinkler is the endboss daoist I guess 😂😂😂 Would beat Andrew Tate in a fist fight 100% of the time

When I experimented with this I pretended I am a child. It takes a little getting used to, but it is really effective. It also feels like recharging your power. It feels nice, actually.

I don't know. They are arguably less human since they are embodying an animal. Letting their craven fantasies run them like instinct.

Yes this is exactly the point. If you cling too much to the idea of power, virtue, excellence and truth, it will make you weak and more dogmatic, not more powerful. Hobbies like furry are a perfect counterbalance to archive harmony and freedom.

Well, don't you think donning a mask makes them act unrestrained. It's known that people become more unhinged when they are masked, like protesters or ICE agents. When they put on the mask the beast comes out. That's not a reflection of wholesomeness in my opinion.

This is alchemy. If you want to gain power, you don't achieve it by trying to force it. If you try to force it your power will be fragile. You will only be able to become powerful if you alchemize it from a spot of weakness.

Meow I’m curious what is underneath the blue bucket.

[Cred]

@Yimpa Hahah

@Basman Wait it seems we are talking about two dualities now:

• Being restrained vs being unrestrained
• Being powerful vs being weak

I think both need balance and both balances can be archieved by impersonating an animal like for example a grey cat with a blue bucket on it's head (totally random and unrelated example)

Self-actualizing and shattering self-deception left and right is a hobby of mine.

Self-deception is a great hobby.

Ecstatic dance, singing, paddle boarding and taking psychedelics for pure expression.

People love to comment on the bucket, but it doesn't mean anything. It was just a simple and cute picture I found.

A fan of anthropomorphic animals.

Actually, humans are primates. And we dress up.

Therefore, we are all furries.

Another hobby of mine:

Binging on Micucci

About two weeks.

Its effects have started to get worse, so I quit. And I get addicted very easily to coffee.

I just had to sleep early so that I wouldn't need coffee the next day.

Green tea can be a nice replacement for coffee, even if just temporarily, to help ease withdrawal symptoms.
