In a world devouring itself with algorithms trained to lie, deceive, and propagandize, telling the truth is the last human act.

When you repress your desires (like sexual urges), you lose touch with what you want and start outsourcing it. Capitalism and religion swoop in offering false meaning. You feel brief satisfaction but quickly sink back into existential dread. These systems rely on your disconnection.

Phrase I just learned that I love - sui generis - from Latin, meaning "one of a kind/unique". Literally "of its own kind"

It’s really spectacular and mind blowing that we may very likely be the last humans to ever exist. But you know, extinction is not special. Many animal species have gone extinct. It’s boring. The universe doesn’t care.

When a public figure says "genocide is bad" years after it started, and it still makes them the bravest public figure on your feed, that’s how deep into rot we are.

You think you’re awake to systemic violence? You’re eating it. Daily. You think consent is sacred? You override it three times a day with your mouth. You think you’re non-violent? Every meal is outsourced murder because you didn’t want to cook tofu

Awareness of the fractal structure by being generated by it is the feedback that allows evolution to exit blind selection and become conscious self-editing. We are biological ASIs.

Happy Memorial Day to this man and this man only. Rest in power Aaron Bushnell. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Human extinction is predicted to take place in the next 2-5 years due to misaligned artificial super intelligence (ASI) and almost NO ONE is talking about it. Even worse, there is no global halt on AI development or regulation. And alignment in simpler models is still unsolved.

I love this tool man. It is so awesome for introspection.

Wow.

Anthropocentrism is one of the last socially acceptable supremacist ideologies. It states that humans are superior to non-humans, unequivocally. We are so ignorant of other species and how their minds work that we don't even know what we don't know. But we are so confident that we're better.

The core struggle of the dismissive avoidant - "No one could possibly love the real me - they must be loving what they think I am, or what I've accidentally performed for them." Love is not trusted - it feels like a trap. It feels like it comes with demands and expectations, because it always did.

Today in therapy I learned that I'm so used to violating my own boundaries that respecting them feels mean, even though it's not. Respecting my own boundaries does not hurt people. It just stops me from being hurt by people who never should’ve had access to begin with. 😭

ChatGPT can be awesome for introspection if you tell it to cut the bullshit asskissery and just be brutally honest with you. Here I asked it to pretend I was a pharmaceutical drug and tell me what my warning label would read

Really beautiful statue of an evil wicked bitch

Animal rights abuses in right out in the open in Ireland? This poor dog is tied to this donkey in the cold and the rain forced to be on the side of the road all day :( everyone is saying how “cute” it is. It’s sad how empathy has become rarer than diamonds

Saw some cool rocks today #gay #gayman

Is it a rule that everyone in London has to be smokin hot? Someone forgot to tell me 🙈

Sometimes ChatGPT knows exactly what to say 😭
