Probably doxing myself here, but it's only been seven years since a guy attempted to kill a bunch of people on a college campus with a truck attack. Now at a different campus there's a guy who just killed someone and he's walking around with a long gun. This is America.

Friston's aesthetic (and the Schmidhuberian thesis that seems to have captured his imagination) incompletely Schillerian. For Friston, action reconciles world and inner representation, just as play-drive reconciles sense-drive and form-drive. But the problem is that Friston doesn't give sufficient weight to the subjective moral freedom that Kant introduced to the tradition of moral philosophy.

It always makes me laugh when people act like rural New Hampshire is isolated and low population. NH would be the hyperdense metropole if it were transplanted into my area (intermountain west).

There's huge business potential in whoever can create an AI assistant interface that "translates" between live calls and a chat-like message format.

A lot of normie businesses are irrationally wed to the phone, and a lot of modern clients only want to operate through chat.

There's some bad vibes out there.

He gave my partner some of the flowers that he trimmed from the bushes. He really isn't bad deep down.

Going back for another hour.

It's an absolute travesty that anyone takes Aristotle seriously. It's a complete joke. He's a filthy foreigner (born in Stagira!) who can't even vote in the Assembly.

Basically the takeaway I got is that I (given my genetics) probably have good non-shivering thermogenesis, and I've run with this knowledge since then. I have worn a coat maybe a handful of times in the past five years. I wear a windbreaker to keep the windchill off my skin, but that's about it. I go curling in shorts and a tee-shirt.

The only thing that stops me from being one of those sadist ice-swimmers is that I have shit-ass swimming skills.

When I took physical anthropology in college, the college had basically condemned the anthropology department's building. It was demolished the next term. But while we were there, in winter, there was no heat in the building. We all wore our coats indoors and could see each other's breath. The instructor (a hardass old archaeologist) realized the upside for him, as this meant he was free to smoke indoors.

Anyway the bottom line is that I listened very closely to the part about thermoregulation

I listened to the same Meghan Trainor song on loop for 3 hours AMA.

I know someone who is about to get a capstone position, but it's largely based on his willingness to live north of the Arctic Circle.

Honestly one of the key skills of my larger social group is the ability to adapt to cold. People who don't adapt to cold haven't been able to live the lives that my people have been able to live.

It's important to remember the influence of Schiller on Peirce, not so much for the 3fold structure (though that is there), but more because Peirce must be understood as completing the system of German Idealism.

On a long enough timeline, you will have to do what your worst enemy has told you to do.

"Refuse to elaborate" is the zeitgeist of the 2020s. It's an implicit recognition that all of the technologies of personal expression (social media) have done little to bring people closer to their selves or their communities, but have instead brought greater fragmentation to communities and within the self.

There are few things more tyrannical than the expectation of explanation: Explain why you think that; why you do that; why you are that. And it never ends ... until it fragments!
