It's kind of sad, 2024 saw the meltdown of a lot of folks I respected online, or at least the final chapters of ongoing meltdowns.
In the end I guess, wisdom isn't something that a particular individual can own, it possess you for a while, and perhaps you can help spread it, but it can just as easily disappear into the ether, and you end up going on at 12-hour Ayahuasca Bender online for the world to see... Or the world can find out that you were having a massive cocaine Bender with your kids in the house. You can find that just as quickly as wisdom possessed you, it leaves you, and in your arrogance you will go off and do something really stupid. So if you believe that you have a time you should nurture your wisdom by following it's advice rather than listen to the luciferian impulse to think that your intellect can outsmart your wisdom.
And I guess equally importantly, be careful not to idolize human beings, because every one of them is fallible. Especially yourself.
