The cats love talking about Freedom because it’s such fertile ground for ideas.
The Anxiety of Freedom
JOMO – Part 3
It’s Great to Suck
This comic was inspired by a wonderful article by Karen Rinaldi where she describes her love of surfing, despite not being any good at it.
Even though Rinaldi surfs eight months a year, “I fall and flail. I get hit on the head by my own board. I run out of breath when held down by a four-foot wave.”
Not Making it on My Own
This seemed like a good follow up to the previous post. Even if people aren’t deliberately gaming the system, it’s often strongly tilted in their favor.
Gaming the System
Many rich people game the system, and many poor people have no problem with this, because the U.S. national mythology promotes the idea that they too can become rich, despite the U.S. having much less social mobility than many other countries.
This comic was mistakenly posted briefly on December 31. You are now seeing it on the correct, carefully planned day 😁.
The Art of Communication
Communication is difficult and we usually want to blame the other person when it goes wrong.
The Blame Game
No one wants to take responsibility. We much prefer to blame others. Elizabeth Holmes blaming her former business partner is just a recent example, but the phenomenon goes back a long way.
The Justifying Fairytale
This was inspired by an article by George Montbiot. Well worth reading.

The Mind Killer
The cats hope you enjoy their opinions, musing, and advice through this coming year.
