I heard that these techbros hyperventilating about AGI and conscious machines are suffering from "womb envy." Jealous deep down about women's capacity to create life. By golly, they're gonna build life from scratch and it'll be so smart you won't even believe it! 😆 #AI #AGI #neurosis

Idiot Zen when you see the freshly plowed sand run across it shouting “oh no!—oh no!” like an idiot #Zen

“The mind is a mere label, and it is nothing other than a label. Recognize awareness as a mere label. Moreover, a label has no intrinsic nature. The Jinas do not find it inside, nor outside, nor in-between those two. … In short, the Buddhas have not seen it and they will not see it; they […]

I used to think that Ebert was just some newfangled electronic Bert.

A beam of sunshine came through a crack in the door (and yes, I turned the book slightly to line up the title.) This book lays out the arguments for the metaphysical view called Analytic Idealism.

An Anarcho-Immaterialist poem: ((( in stereo ))) A skull is a deceased face that grins forever. Forever is a long time. Time is an illusion. Illusions do happen. Happenings are perceived. But you blinked and missed it. (The Anarcho-Immaterialist must apply philosophical rigor until […]

Life is short. Don't forget to do silly things that make people giggle.

On my photo walks I am always looking for this *kind* of thing, a cropping of a view of the world that produces an abstract painting. This one, I am really pleased with. It quietly begs a remembrance of Malevich's White on White, while defying the Suprematist […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Spacetime exists because music needs time to posit its various notes, and notes need space for their expansions and contractions to play out. Music is physics. #music #physics

I bet rabbits get tired of everyone going down their holes. I'm tired of it, and I'm not even a rabbit.

The reason SNL sucks now is that Lorne Michaels won't hire Julie Nolke and give her what ever goddam salary she demands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQifhzfbWa0 #comedy #SNL #JulieNolke

Nonexistence is no problem until you need it to argue a finer point of ontology, then it's nowhere to be found.
