Agent131711’s Substack

THE BREAKING POINT - I think I found it...

For the past couple months I have felt incredibly annoyed and unmotivated in general. I also realized I was being short with coworkers. I even snapped at my son for no legitimate reason. None of this is my normal character. I am typically a chipper, energetic person who loves to laugh, but this has not been the case this year. I couldn’t pinpoint a…

The Bushido of Bitcoin

Back when I was an admin at the Doomstead Diner, we talked a lot about bitcoin. That was when you could still buy it for a few dollars or less.

It Ain’t All Glamour

I’m not the best business person. I’m a creative who performs on stage, and those two distinct worlds of artistic ability and business often collide for inventive souls. I am always amazed by the artists, actors, or musicians who successfully manage their business affairs. When I entered the industry, I was not taught that skill set, and it didn’t come …

Jung’s Answer to Job: A Psychological Redemption of God?

Jung argues that Job’s suffering forces God to confront his own moral failings, ultimately leading to the incarnation of Chris…
