I know this is table stakes around here, but I'm curious as to why yall think it's not in broader society; when did zero-sum thinking become the norm? or am I wrong to assume this is a relatively new thing? I have my own theories but want to hear yours

Imagine you are given a little commercial space & a cosmic guarantee that whatever business you set up there will succeed over the long-term, but that you can't expand beyond this space. What business are you opening?

has anyone done multi word autocorrect? like if I use two words in an order which almost certainly is wrong, but is very close to something else
like if I wrote "swapping our" but meant "swapping out"
feel like this could be done w the same techniques just on a n-word corpus
if your ideology has fewer than 3 points of reference, what you actually have is a dogma; conceptual triangulation gives you the perspective needed to not have a flat 2D worldview

I wonder how many people would need to get involved for me to get a solid yes or no on this; & more broadly, if there are any companies or insurance providers which explicitly mention cryonics in their benefits. I imagine it could be a good recruiting move for some tech startup!
interesting results, split into almost even thirds between {never considered, decided against, decided for}. idk what I expected but it wasn't this
I asked an HR rep today if our life insurance plans allow for disbursement to a cryonics provider, she was blown away & didn't know

I've recently had this lesson rubbed into my face in a rather undeniable & painful way, and have begrudgingly been forced to accept it. I don't really know where I'll go from here, considering how much of my worldview is upended by the loss of this axiom; people are who they are.
if I had been willing to accept that peoples past behavior was a strong predictor of their future, I could have saved myself much self-induced grief, caused by people failing to live up to the potential I thought they had. I knew who they were, but thought they'd transcend it.
I spent years resenting people for being unable to escape the same patterns which had governed their behavior for years; I really believed they were capable. but in retrospect, they never had a chance, not w/o a death & rebirth. and that's a terrible thing to wish on someone.
