from a script about Disco Elysium I was working on
moralism Moralists don’t bother with “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em”; the moralist simply says, “you can’t beat them.” Contend with the horrors of capital with radical acceptance. It is what it is. Capital is what we have to work with; of what pragmatic use is conscience? There are two genocides on offer, one larger, one smaller. Worry not about injustice, worry not about grief, about pain: one or the other is going to happen, which is closer to your goal? Think in terms of sums on a ledger. No right, no wrong, just motion towards or away from… whatever it is you’re trying to do. It’s a kind of seductive joylessness. A relief from moral crisis by leaving morals out of it. Centrists don’t care what’s good, they care what’s feasible, which means, if you make good things feasible, you can get results working with moralists. The crushing irony of the only movement that can accomplish anything good in this world being the one that does not concern itself with goodness. But to work with moralists, you must speak their language. You will have to make arguments in favor of “small genocide,” you will have to put yourself in conflict with people who oppose “small genocide,” and you will have to accept that there are arguments - made by your compatriots - that the shelling of Revachol, from a certain point of view, was… productive. After all, the Moralists are the ones who did it. The war crime that stabilizes a region is not, to them, a “necessary evil”; if it was necessary, it was no evil at all. Why shed tears for what needed to happen?

This article is going to turn me into the Joker. Literary style is not a puzzle you solve to get a little information treat 😩😩😩
But A.I. can also simplify: if you’re struggling with the opening of “Bleak House,” you can ask for it to be rewritten using easier, more modern English. “Gas looming through the fog in divers places in the streets, much as the sun may, from the spongey fields, be seen to loom by husbandman and ploughboy,” Dickens wrote. Claude takes a more direct path: “Gas lamps glow dimly through the fog at various spots throughout the streets, much like how the sun might appear to farmers working in misty fields.”

Reading a Big Number

xkcd.com/3102/
Comic. Thought Process While Reading A Big Number: 54,000,000,000,000,000,000,0000,0000,054,000"000,00c2ef46 [comments progress along the line, approximately every 3 digits] (1) 54! Great! I know that number. Solid start. (2) Oh, a comma and some zeros. Cool. Must be at least 54 thousand. (3) A second comma! I wonder if we’re talking population or money. (4) Yikes! If this is money, it’s a *lot* of money. (5) Why am I reading this? Whatever this number is, I’m not going to be able to visualize it. (6) All right, either someone made a unit conversion error or this is one of those incomprehensible astronomy numbers. (7) [4 zeroes between commas instead of 3]] Oh no. Is this a misplaced comma or an extra zero? I guess we’ll see if the next group has two zeros or three. If it’s two, we can at least hope the digits are right. (8) [4 zeroes between commas] Oh *no*. (9) [repeat of the digits 54] What is happening. (10) [a quotation mark in place of comma] Someone messed up real bad. (11) [final digits are c2ef46, cut off] Someone messed up real bad and I hope it wasn’t me.

I would simply debate the One Ring and win the argument with my superior rhetorical skills, thus cleansing it of the dark lord Sauron's magic, and so then in place of a dark lord there would be a queen, not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn, treacherous as the sea, stronger than the founda

Multiple renditions of a red-haired maid character, named Lillie. The middle one has the character wink to the viewer while performing a curtsey. The top left one is a side profile, with her hands put together. The top right one has the character wearing glasses whose lenses got fogged up due to carrying tea. The bottom left one has the character take a bite from a frikandelbroodje, a sausage-like snack from the Netherlands. The bottom right one has the character smile with an open mouth, both eyes are closed and the character is holding up v/peace signs with both hands.

what are the steps you would only take if push came to shove?

and what constitutes a "shove"?

and how many shoves have you already gone through without noticing?

A thread-of-threads on my research into the ruined places of the world, the abandoned ruins of modernity, interesting historical knowledge I've come across, and strange parts of history I find fascinating.

The best historical artefacts are the accidental ones that freeze a moment in time forever.

I thought I’d try to find all the times pets have ruined their owner's day and recorded that instant for all of history.
