Disappointed that (severance s2e6? - dinner with burt - very small spoilers) Burt says he was a bit of a scoundrel, goes to a Lutheran church, and believes he's going to hell for those sinful deeds, regardless of his faith. Luther would not have it.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

I've always thought about this quote a lot, but I'm thinking about it several times a day now. The evidence of the ongoing bamboozle is plainly obvious, but the voters can't admit it.

I think dopes from the world of business auditing the 'productivity' of education and research has been the norm since WW2; insisting on strategically betting on conventional winners and little else actually causes the slow progress they then use to bash the sector.

I'm patriotic for liberal democracy, for nation-states in repentance. In being liberal we repent of nationalism and become open to new and better, and in democracy the institutions of state limit, bind and empty themselves and submit to other powers.

Realising that I feel relaxed, happy, confident and energised at bedtime because I have accidentally eaten about 150g of 70% dark chocolate over the course of the day. A classic of the genre of my misadventures.

The thing I'm hoping will delay the AI economic apocalypse is that a lot of work is not just social operations (marketing, management, maybe legal) - the llms have not learned to play passably realistic beginner chess; they aren't getting the thing in itself from word phenomena.

The whole social circle around this couple seems unbearable to me, but it's treated as natural so much that I wonder if I am supposed to know Americans are just like that.

This is garble. It assumes that people who crossed the border without authorization or overstayed visas don’t want to be law-abiding residents of the United States or to become US citizens. Not only is there no evidence given for that claim, the opposite should be generally assumed to be true.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

The most violent of violent conflicts are 99.9% hiking for what it's worth. Not everyone is dealt the same hand, and I respect that, but can we please fetishize hiking and HAM radio instead of whatever argument is happening here?

Some interesting ideas but the headline is "Write as if the Truth Really Matters" - when will the casual use of discriminatory language end, when will the suppression of deflationists be recognised for the injustice it is!? Truly we deflationists are the gamers of academia.
