Edge, it's basically like this;

Yoshida used to be a great hero of MMA and Judo, a national star for Japan in the Olympics and PRIDE.



Then he turned evil:





We are all very unhappy about it, Som just took the news a little harder than others

I still enjoy the fact that I don't lock my door in Bangkok.

I had maybe my smartest friend over during the weekend, he stayed the night and we talked long into the morning.

Dude has lived all over the world (Canada, Poland, Spain, Jordan, Egypt, Israel etc), married an Egyptian (they have an apartment in Cairo, he was there for both revolutions), follows middle eastern media as regularly as he does western media, has read more books than I can fathom, remembers every book, and is a general fountain of curiosity and learning. Also he can do classical oil-painting realism like a fuckin boss.

Anyways talking with him is always fresh because while he is fully aware of the realities of a conspiracy-minded view of reality, he is also very well informed of the flip side of things, and does not get pulled into tinfoil hat land so easily. Admits there are realities but also sees that it is not as simple/extreme as we may think and there are infinite other factors in things that most CTers might naturally resist/not be aware of...

He always puts my conspiracy suspicions in check, presenting me with info and history that really make a full-on conspiracy view of reality seem very narrow-minded and naive.

Hard to go back to EY sometimes after those discussions, it makes me want to explore the other side of the fence and recognize not to get too trapped/overconfident in one's world view.

You look like the IT wanker.
