Suppose you want to play along with the "icebergs know about climate change" game. What bets would you place differently? How could anyone use this information to get superior resolution to the dissonances of everyday experience?

Small brain eco-humanist: "if melting is a kind of 'behavior', and if ice has to 'know' the temperature in order to begin the 'behavior' of melting, then it's like we can define ice as knowing about climate change!"

It's a sad statement about the eco-humanist academy that they feel they need to rewrite causality in terms of knowledge.

It's also sad that in the pursuit of an inhuman semiotic they overlook the warrant of Peircean pragmatism: that this shit matters inasmuch as its cash-value.

I remember seeing Interstellar in theaters. There's a line in there where X says, "there's only a 50% chance this will work," and Y says, "those are the best odds I've had in years."
Reader, I teared up in the cinema because those lines resonated with my experience. Again, I cannot relate to people who do not have firsthand experience of how desperate things were for so many for so long.

New psyop: make cybersec ppl believe that a faction of normies are directly and specifically acting against their cybersec training to protest the level of cybersec obligation imposed on the end-user. At least it will be a useful myth for cybersec ppl to talk about undue obligation.

Guy who acts like people are dweebs for caring about reckless driving. (Reader, I am mad about him.)

I don't believe these replies.

A puppet show to introduce kids to the thought of Umberto Eco.

Let me know what you think about lying by omission.

Actual photo of Cosmo:

I've also got a pattern of annoying the shit out of low-openness nurses. Conscientious and extroverted people, to be sure, but they're not used to dealing with a person like me who runs on high-octane speculative thinking.

I once happened to share a social circle with a stone-cold narcissist, and he seemed mildly annoyed whenever I existed in the same room as him. I try to be friends with literally every person I meet, but this narcissist dude acted genuinely disgusted by me.

An interesting thing about Cosmo is that my appeal fits tightly into certain demographics:
* people with cluster-B disorders treat me like half-chewed cat food. They have no interest in me at all.
* people who follow me on Mastodon tend to be intensely high-IQ, highly attractive, and extremely sexually gifted

It was under lost constellations when the thunder lizards tyrannized this planet, and under a breathless sky that this planet began to metabolize.

Shit is popping off at Cosmic Industries.

Dispatches on this: I didn't know how difficult Luhman is as a writer. He's got this common disease of German academics to assume that you're already clued into his conversation. But reader -- I am not clued into his conversation.

Upon reflection, the thing that's most disappointing about "Ant Man Quantumania" is that we got a fight between a time-traveller and a guy who can shrink ad infinitum and that it was so completely boring.
