Be the same

quiet, still, at home. In the
absence of mind, all phenomena
can be seen for what they
are — empty. This is
freedom.
You
can now buy
Wei wu Wei Ching as part of a
five-app bundle of Taoist classics
for iPhone or iPad for less than
the cost of one hardcover
book.
Look, look,
how I nourish this
phoenix mind of mine:
swallows, sparrows, pigeons,
crows, all birds are welcome here.
Rinzai planted pine, Ikkyü cultivates
bamboo — later generations will
praise us for really doing
something.
This account was
published at Medium for two years,
then taken down without explanation just as Lyft
was in the run-up to its IPO. SV billionaires and their
investors stick together! It’s parked here now for
info purposes in case I don’t live to be
108 and anyone wonders
hmm why.
Details of four
other professional attempts

When asked to account
for why I wrote the things I did and
summoned the whirlwind in such a strong way, I like
to jabber about the importance of alerting one’s fellow citizens to
deranged maniacs drawing close to the levers and buttons. But
I was also in deep grief over my beloved daughter and not
in my right mind. I wouldn’t do it all again.
Probably. Jah bless America.

______________________
Trump has threatened the lives of U.S. citizens. I’m just one.
I’m the author of eight books published around the world and five apps for iOS and Android. I wrote critically and often on social media about Donald Trump throughout his campaign, having observed him since the early 80’s when I was fresh from law school and living in New York City. It got under his skin to the point that he began threatening my life almost immediately after he was inaugurated.
I wrote about his widely agreed upon DSM diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a highly dangerous mental illness, as did others. I wrote about his longtime ties to organized crime figures. I wrote about his revolting, rank misogyny. I wrote about his vastly-lower-than-bragged-about net worth. I did it because Donald Trump is a demented lunatic and a pathological liar, and I thought my friends and followers ought to know about that before they cast a vote for him. An insane person in the White House is a danger to the entire world — as we are now seeing in spades.
I also contributed financially to the creation and display of the “The Emperor Has No Balls” (or “Naked Trump”) statues displayed in American cities and laughed at by the entire world during his campaign.
I placed my miniature version of the same for sale on Ebay with derogatory text about the most depraved individual ever to desecrate American public life.
