“If you are called to roll with a jiu-jitsu instructor, rolling means rolling. He may toy with you. He may decline to tap you. But he expects you to do your best to defend yourself and to attack him. When an instructor’s body can no longer do what his mind tells it to, then he does not roll with students in this way, but provides wisdom and leadership appropriate to his rank and age. Students also adjust their intensity level appropriately to the training context. It is not inconceivable that a strong young blue belt could tap Helio Gracie out in 1999.

“Life for the theistic of abrahamic traditions is a constant juggle between masturbating towards pixels on a screen and brief abstention of this act as one torments themselves over the fiery consequences of their past sinful actions; only to commence said sinful actions again. Thus the cycle of pleasure and guilt continues as strong in the law of human nature as the cycle of the moon and sun in the law of the universe.”
