proglibs are all terrified of bugs bc what they fear the most is the implication that every abstraction is leaky and you can never fully divorce yourself from nature, as this does not bode well for their theories of governance

I've done some bad shit in my life but I truly don't believe any of it was bad enough for me to deserve having to read data scientist python code
"honey, the catgirl read an infohazard again! no I don't know where she got it, probably dug it out of the Twitter trash like last tim-- NO! bad kitty! spit that out! it's going to shred your idiot little brain into even smaller pieces, somehow"

I've found much utility in this dual approach to understanding the universe & my place in it, esp when considering how these frameworks are not truly distinct, but are implied by each other, together forming a single cohesive whole

few in my personal life know this, but I've long considered the Tao as my primary spiritual lens
like many others around here I come from a materialist atheist rat…

having studied the Tao both as a spiritual practice, & as a physical one thru Tai Chi, I've found this form of monism to be not only broadly compatible w/ computational materialism, but to contribute to it a pathway to understanding the causal inversion thru which agency emerges

this is crucial; my most significant male bonding experiences would be unrecognizable to my female friends. male affection is inevitably Straussian, implicit in the gaps of the unuttered sympathies, conveyed through action, not words

Men's emotionality has absolutely been short changed in modernity -- but expecting the healed version to look like women's emotionality is just as eliding

there are so many of these hidden gems in our world, minor artifacts of a craft perfected, which few but the artisan and niche consumer will ever appreciate
this both gives me hope, and overwhelms me with the impossibility of finding them all
toolmakers enable our world
libraries like this are highly niche labors of love, the sort of thing only produced by protracted monomaniacal focus; it can be difficult to see their value, but if you know how to look at them in just the right way, you'll see that they're works of art
it's difficult to explain to an uninitiate the nigh-religious reverence I hold for computation in its various forms; that which it is possible to achieve with the help of computers, the incredible abilities they grant those willing to learn their ways
this makes me feel things

@mechanical_monk I've iterated thru basically every single possibility and arrived at "just watch closely and see if she moved subtly towards you, and valence match if so, otherwise no touchy", so like, what normal people do intuitively

the only real difference between superheroes and the the Greek gods is that the latter wasn't utterly cucked by and subservient to capital
hate it when people tell me I'm right, like what, you think I don't already know? 🤔
this is Theology 101 for some of you, yes I know, but as a lifelong atheist w/o a direct connection to a religious tradition, this sort of perspective is relatively novel for me
still won't believe ofc but it's helpful to understanding the proles
this framing posits God as a retrocausal hyperobject existing outside of time, an avatar for the abstraction of the Just Universe itself; God does not hear prayers in realtime, but by virtue of its very existence; as such, each act of prayer HAS ALREADY been taken into account

the concept of dark birds, here, seems to map well to that of a reified phase space attractor; the behavioral properties of both representations are broadly aligned, and the dark bird form functions as a useful intuition pump
this is comparable to colloquial models of politics

blatant lie; punishment obviously works, otherwise no one would use it. it's just a didactic local maxima, with suboptimal side effects. much worse things for a child to become than slightly mentally ill.
