📝 Jerry’s Marginalia's  — “Friction Is the Tax”

21 Dec, 2025

You don’t escape payment. You just choose how you pay.

Sugar pays up front with smoothness, speed, and silence. Health pays later, in resistance and effort.

The system doesn’t ask which you prefer. It just charges differently.

Every “better choice” comes with a little drag: thicker spreads, slower clicks, heavier lids, extra steps.

Not to stop you. Just to see if you’ll bother.

Friction isn’t a punishment. It’s the receipt.

Stamped in the margin, no revision needed.
