Alan Alda asks: “How do you begin a really genuine conversation?

Erica: “I have two questions under those circumstances. The first is, well, tell me about your life.”

“The other one is, I say it this way, I say sometimes when I'm trying to get to know somebody, I ask them, if you weren't doing what you're currently doing, what else would you be doing that made you really happy?” From Clear+Vivid with Alan Alda: Erica Chenoweth: A Better Way to Protest?, Oct 14, 2025

Tonight I got to talk a few hours with a friend I hadn't seen in a long while. And who I had forgotten I had that much in common with. And that much respect for.
It was nice. It brought me back down to Earth again, a little off the edge. A little glimmer of hope in this exhaustion and despair I've been feeling towards "humanity at large" lately.
I still feel as uncertain as ever where to take myself, but I know at least I'm a little less alone.

In a way I'm pretty grateful for my high spiritual satisfaction in daoism as well as my own attraction to studying it
Killing my ego and social circle was probably one of the best things to happen to me, i can finally focus on my health and doing shit now instead of mentally draining drama online
still having someone to share ideas with as well as my progress would be nice
not to mention its a huge relief to study something that doesn't make such high demands or expectations from you (unless you're in a sect)

However, short answer, Nekomatas are more dangeorus that bakenekos.
