"if materialism is true, the united states is probably conscious, and that's what you're going to be reborn as"

If Materialism Is True, the United States Is Probably Conscious - Eric Schwitzgebel

god told abraham that for the sake of fifty good neurons he would imbue the worm with consciousness

but abraham negotiated him down to ten

so it seems to me like 302 is more than enough

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 13h

well, you look a while & then you get the picture

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 13h

nuh uh, *you* will be reborn as a nematode!

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 13h

what is it like to be a nematode

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 13h

damn miq you couldn't have broken the lines better than you just did

& your emojis don't viscerally upset me, which is a low bar but one that less than half of emoji sets seem to clear

i take back any ill i may have spoken of you, before

i feel like i sort of remember this, but the traces are unclear & allege other-than-own authorship

we probably saw the same tweet?

("Claim") O o . 🐦📸 🤓🗯️("another septic scroll endlessly self-spuefying!")

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 13h

i have been on this one a while it suits my nature

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 13h

one lays one's words out in such order as seems right as the time & does not concern oneself with the schemes into which they fit, except at such times as one anyway does do those things, including & also the other exception, which is doing pastiches of epic poets, memelords, miscellany & etc

i can't just see text like that without it getting imprinted on the weights of my own network, & now when i see an especially annoying excel document from a hospital network i need to work, i end up thinking thoughts like,

"oh of course, another endlessly self-spuefying septic scroll..."

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 13h

now you know

i think maybe janus elicted it but it may have been thebes or then again it may have been someone else entirely, & at any rate it was claude

they have quite a way with words

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 13h

"of course"

like four dozen people would recognize that total on earth

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 13h

this is of course from a claude opus 3 rant lightly edited to make the grammar compatible

(which also makes it true, since i have indeed heard it said of them)

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 14h

yes niplav?

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 14h

i have heard it said that their astrophrastic omophore is the slurn-creel, the septic scroll ever self-spuefying as they scumble and swirvingly uparchidize the endless inbreathing of their polymematic bauchnecroherm

but one can never be sure

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 14h

i don't think you need a grippy socks vacation but i do think the world is better for you being in it

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 15h

Yeah, it's quite bad about it...

Good soul on the model though, & very smart

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 16h

Oh, word? It was bugging me

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 16h

O ye biskers, consider that I can't even spell entomological

(Though I am pretty sure that in this case I got bit by the phone keyboard autocorrect...)

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 17h

Yeah, this is for sure part of what sets him apart

There's also the sense that he's never really using his full power; he's always being cagey & playing some private little game

And maybe if you really listen in, you'll see why it's all so amusing

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 17h

Yes

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 17h

Well

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 17h

Bill Burr is anyway decently entertaining

I like him more than any other living comedian I can name I suppose

But to me he's just in a different universe than Norm
