Ethics still is used to justify the murder of millions of living things. It's not a moral stance. At best, it's a centrist stance.
It's easier to just admit that than to say actual policy is worth defending

Here's what I've learned during my time off.</h2>\n\n<p>As I type these words into the <a href=\"https://blog.ulysses.app/ulysses-19/\">brand-new version of Ulysses</a> which allows me to save articles directly into my website repository (<em>thank you thank you thank you!</em>), I reflect upon the sharp turn my life took a couple of months ago\u2014a constellation of events which completely and utterly knocked me off my writing course. I wish I could say it was all due to, y\u2019know, <strong>the global pandemic</strong>\u2026it would make for a simpler explanation. And of course that\u2019s a thing <em>everyone</em> is going through right now. A shared trauma of the entire human race at a singular moment in space and time.</p>\n\n<p>But that\u2019s not really it. It\u2019s a factor, certainly, but it\u2019s not the sole reason. And what\u2019s been most frustrating (as a writer no less!) is that I don\u2019t feel at liberty to say much about what\u2019s been going on. Not yet at least. I teased out some of the broad strokes <a href=\"https://jaredwhite.com/podcast/54\">in my latest podcast episode</a>\u2014listen to that if your curiosity is piqued. Let\u2019s just say lawyers are involved, and it\u2019s a nightmare no father should ever, ever have to go through. <strong>Ever</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>Nonetheless, the purpose of this article isn\u2019t just to blow off steam, but to recognize that I\u2019m simply not the same person today that I was even a couple of months ago. Again, global pandemic, rapid cultural change\u2026blah blah blah\u2026truth is, <em>nobody</em> is the same person they were a couple of months ago! But I think if my personal life had been in a emotionally stable, predicable place when the coronavirus hit, I\u2019d likely have <em>leaned into writing</em> and making videos about <strong>#QuarantineLife</strong> and all that jazz\u2014like so many of my favorite content creators have done.</p>\n\n<p>But instead I retreated into myself and just stopped. Stopped sending out email newsletters. Stopping recording podcasts. Stopping posting on Instagram for the most part. Stopping shooting videos for YouTube. Stopped updating my website. Everything simply ground to a screeching halt. I just couldn\u2019t muster the enthusiasm\u2026couldn\u2019t bring myself to jump back on the hamster wheel of making an effort of creating content, putting myself out there, waiting for the tap of a like button or the posting of an emoji comment. It all seemed so\u2026pointless.</p>\n\n<p>Yes, I was in a dark place for a while. Not sure I\u2019m fully out of it quite yet. But what I find most interesting is what I\u2019ve learned during this strange and unexpected time.</p>\n\n<p><strong>I\u2019ve learned that I am a stronger, more capable, more self-reliant, and more intuitive person than I ever realized I could be.</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>I\u2019ve learned that I really don\u2019t need the accolades of others to be happy.</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>I\u2019ve learned that just because I\u2019ve gone through some really shitty times in my life doesn\u2019t mean I have to stay stuck in the mud.</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>I\u2019ve learned anew the value of friendship from key people who are truly safe, empathetic, and care unconditionally about others. My gratitude to them is profound.</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>And finally, I\u2019ve learned more about what really matters to me in life. The kind of work I want to do. The kind of person I want to become.</strong></p>\n\n<p>That last bit is important, because it means I\u2019m going to be making a <em>lot</em> of changes to my habits, routines, schedules, and pursuits in the coming months.

"text": "My writing habit really got derailed this year\u2014especially as the coronavirus sent the world into a tailspin. Here's what I've learned during my time off.\n\nAs I type these words into the brand-new version of Ulysses which allows me to save articles directly into my website repository (thank you thank you thank you!), I reflect upon the sharp turn my life took a couple of months ago\u2014a constellation of events which completely and utterly knocked me off my writing course. I wish I could say it was all due to, y\u2019know, the global pandemic\u2026it would make for a simpler explanation. And of course that\u2019s a thing everyone is going through right now. A shared trauma of the entire human race at a singular moment in space and time.\n\nBut that\u2019s not really it. It\u2019s a factor, certainly, but it\u2019s not the sole reason. And what\u2019s been most frustrating (as a writer no less!) is that I don\u2019t feel at liberty to say much about what\u2019s been going on. Not yet at least. I teased out some of the broad strokes in my latest podcast episode\u2014listen to that if your curiosity is piqued. Let\u2019s just say lawyers are involved, and it\u2019s a nightmare no father should ever, ever have to go through. Ever.\n\nNonetheless, the purpose of this article isn\u2019t just to blow off steam, but to recognize that I\u2019m simply not the same person today that I was even a couple of months ago. Again, global pandemic, rapid cultural change\u2026blah blah blah\u2026truth is, nobody is the same person they were a couple of months ago! But I think if my personal life had been in a emotionally stable, predicable place when the coronavirus hit, I\u2019d likely have leaned into writing and making videos about #QuarantineLife and all that jazz\u2014like so many of my favorite content creators have done.\n\nBut instead I retreated into myself and just stopped. Stopped sending out email newsletters. Stopping recording podcasts. Stopping posting on Instagram for the most part. Stopping shooting videos for YouTube. Stopped updating my website. Everything simply ground to a screeching halt. I just couldn\u2019t muster the enthusiasm\u2026couldn\u2019t bring myself to jump back on the hamster wheel of making an effort of creating content, putting myself out there, waiting for the tap of a like button or the posting of an emoji comment. It all seemed so\u2026pointless.\n\nYes, I was in a dark place for a while. Not sure I\u2019m fully out of it quite yet. But what I find most interesting is what I\u2019ve learned during this strange and unexpected time.\n\nI\u2019ve learned that I am a stronger, more capable, more self-reliant, and more intuitive person than I ever realized I could be.\n\nI\u2019ve learned that I really don\u2019t need the accolades of others to be happy.\n\nI\u2019ve learned that just because I\u2019ve gone through some really shitty times in my life doesn\u2019t mean I have to stay stuck in the mud.\n\nI\u2019ve learned anew the value of friendship from key people who are truly safe, empathetic, and care unconditionally about others. My gratitude to them is profound.\n\nAnd finally, I\u2019ve learned more about what really matters to me in life. The kind of work I want to do. The kind of person I want to become.\n\nThat last bit is important, because it means I\u2019m going to be making a lot of changes to my habits, routines, schedules, and pursuits in the coming months. I\u2019m not yet sure how much that will impact my blog, my podcast, my video channel, and the like.
