Eid Mubarak to those celebrating it

I wonder how a modern LLM limited to verified, evidenced sources vs those programmed against the gen pop would compare on a "hallucination" (too many stupid people) basis.

The observable subjectivity of experience and meaning does not in any way increase the validity of them as evidences of truth.

So, Badenoch is a Russian shill and traitor? Shocker.

If only there was a virus that killed only the wealthiest.

There are the things as they are, cause and effect. Everything else is narrative. It's our experiences of effect and the relational narratives we derive from them that give birth to meaning in our attempt to structure and translate the meaningfulness of the experience and its assumed relationships.

I'm now taking 9 days of long earned and hard won break. Frankly, I'm amazed I've kept things together as long as I have. It's been one fuck of a year. R&R time

People like Trump and Musk aren't goals, role models, or even really in any way that means anything, people. They're symptoms. They're the manifestations of the worst of us, as we've always allowed political malfeasance, murder and oppression to be. "It's not us, just the people we want to be."

Whatever the fuck it is you believe, it just really isn't that simple. This goes triple for my fellow non-religious peeps

I recall a short time when we started realising that investment in social & community structures was preventative & eased the pressure off crisis, criminal & emergency services; but then they weren't expected to create immediate profit to prove success & were hard to calculate, so we stopped trying.

When do we start cutting the billions spent on welfare for the rich? Sorry - corporate subsidies.

Media balance should focus most on the points surrounding the centre-ground to give clarity to the real knotty issues and ideologies at the root of an argument. All promoting extremes achieves is sowing confusion and unnecessary division based mostly on ideology, and distracts from the core issues.

Certainty is the undermining of truth for the sake of insecurity.
