I’m so used to bad rat science being expressed in obscurantist math and quantum physics jargon that the kindergarten neuro woo like “each half-a-brain has a 1 in 20 chance of being ontologically Good” and “nonbinary people have one half of their brain be transgender” throws me off.
Where are the Planck units and the h-bars, category theory, maybe something about Turing machines or Gödel? Can’t you at least throw in a square root or something? Is this all it takes to stroke the a modern STEM dweeb’s ego? I guess all the talk about “debugging” and “jailbreaking” compensates for the infantile aesthetics of the crankery.
extremely normal thing and definitely not cult shit (ziz):
Something I don’t think I ended up writing, was a random conversation on what it meant to be good and a Sith. In which I said, something like, well, I’m doing whatever I want, no matter what, which in my case is good things.
also seems weird that vassar went from failed let-me-google-scholar-that-for-you fake medical startup to a niche rat cult leader. can’t any single one of these people get a normal job?
pol pot was in paris and tasted cult power and all it took to get him back to farm and out of power was Vietnamese invasion. personally i think that Vietnamese invasion on all ea compounds would solve a lots of problems and disband a couple of startups
imagine marc andreesseen on a beat up bike with equally beat up akm strolling through californian forests (currently on fire) trying to deliver rice and beans to starving venture-capitslist guerillas
Footnote 1: As a consequence of this approach to thinking and life, rationalists are, as a rule, unbelievably prolix, wall-eyed, and tedious writers, and also polyamorous.
@dgerard I can’t help but imagine what a Zizian would do if one endarkened them with the knowledge that lettuce in salad was not allowed to grow to maturity (flowering) before being harvested and consumed
this is a nice writeup of the story of Ziz

How are you going to get them back to
the farma retail job oncethey’ve seen Paristasted cult power?pol pot was in paris and tasted cult power and all it took to get him back to farm and out of power was Vietnamese invasion. personally i think that Vietnamese invasion on all ea compounds would solve a lots of problems and disband a couple of startups
But aren’t they used to dealing with VC?

I’m glad the non sanitized details are making it out.
“Wall-eyed” hit me as odd, so I go to look it up: https://www.wordnik.com/words/walleyed
