to read

oooh I enjoyed reading this!
In over your head ( blog, which you can access here )

Julien Smith writes with wit, honesty and leaces you feeling like he was sitting chatting to you in the lounge (with a beer in his hand perhaps) nonchalant truthful raw.

i love it.

here is an excerpt:


The Joker is the personification of risk, something the average person finds thrilling. He does things that others would never dare to do, but everyone sees inside themselves. Why is that?

Modern society is stifling. The options for how to behave are limited and unfulfilling. Max Weber called it the Iron Cage because it eventually stifles and crushes anything polarizing. We have no choice but to submit in the majority of our lives.

What we start realizing if we spend enough time in cities is that this society breeds sheep. This isn’t even necessarily bad– it’s largely responsible for the stability of the age we live in. And these people can’t even be held responsible for it– the pressure of our society is so crushing that you have no choice but to submit, even at the cost of your long-term happiness.
