perhaps the universe is really conspiring hard to force me to adapt this mindset

bitch stop lying to yourself
reactivated bc wanting to see the coverage of the protests over there, got this piece of psychological horror on the logical consequences of the current right wing memeplex
Can you trade the "reads 30 research papers a day" ADHD for my "just wants to watch the clouds go by" ADHD for a moment?
at a mushroom themed vaguely hipster small music festival in the forests in the middle of nowhere in October

someone should play the Twin Peaks theme cover here as a bit
imo "unbiased" is not very useful frame because everything is biased towards something; treating every argument as worthy the same consideration/tone, assuming status quo or some artificial center between different ideologies is not unbiased, it's biased towards unoffensiveness/articial center etc.
perhaps this should include a working definition of what politically unbiased exactly means
"they would choose so"
i remember remembering a smbc comic exactly about this and then not being able to find it, wondering whether i was confabulating it lol
i'm in rare better, less insecure mood so i'm reposting as reminder for myself
Can’t recommend logging off and writing someone. its scary to step out of your comfort zone but i can promise you its something you’ll be thankful you did.
I agree with this.

My vibe is that we have already reached what I would call "AGI" and people usually mean something broadly like "general agency" by it now.
Since it resonated with the audience, I’ll recap my main argument against AGI here. ‘General intelligence’ is like phlogiston, or the aether. It’s an outmoded scientific concept that does not refer to anything real. Any explanatory work it did can be done better by a richer scientific frame. 1/3
This was a truly heartening day, with deeply thoughtful challenges to the dominant narrative framed around AGI, coming from across disciplines and perspectives. Felt like the tide might finally be turning a bit, at least among the scientific community. Thanks @royalsociety.org!
Do ideas only exist in tribal clusters for you? I need to study you in a lab.
The "haha cringe techbros" negative polarization against life extension is kind of fascinating to me. Like how do you override one of the most painful conflicts of base human instincts with reality just with the power of tribal identity? Where can I learn this power?
prob the first thing i thought would be fun to do is give it nonsensical phrases i have some emotional connection with (usually song titles) and see what it comes up with

an old midjourney generation of "hybrid rainbow" is one of the few ones i genuinely liked
my moods feel more like collection of metastable states than a continuous spectrum
My "language obviously doesn't get off on itself" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.
Yep, like in "no, my decisions aren't driven by any weird psychosexual complex, wtf is wrong with you?" way

We should ban opinion polls.
Only asexuals should vote and be in leading positions. Everyone else is too compromised.
But what ends when the symbols shatter?
And who knows what happens to hearts?
Seems like I have one thing common with Thiel lmao.
please consult the diagram if you think you know me
I was quite critical of "virtue signalling" back then because in certain spaces the dynamics of using virtue as ingroup signifier obscured actual virtue by turning it into social game and also kind of created a superficial exclusionary mechanism

but i agree with this ig
anyone else notice that the west took a turn for the worse once the concept of signaling one’s own social virtue became derogatory, almost as if cynically deriding all displays of charity and good will is indicative of a deeply cynical and nihilistic society capable of collaborating in genocide
her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character
