the cure for ADHD is to understand the dynamics of your dysfunction and build coping mechanisms and habits into a life system which allows you to function like a normal person after you let go of the crutch that is the pill

it will never stop being funny to me that the cure for ADHD is to take a pill at the same time every morning

if you ever find yourself thinking something like "doing this will make both of us miserable but it's necessary for the relationship" I would urge you to consider what a relationship is if not something two people who care a out each other are doing together

Show thread

many make the mistake of reifying the relationship, bringing it onto the same ontological status as the people within it; this is a grave mistake, as it allows you to do such nonsense as prioritizing the sake of "the relationship" over that of the person ur supposed to care about

we play word games, moving them around like Lego bricks, trying to find the right way to arrange them to make meaning

we call this process thinking, but we're merely playing w/ shadows; the move is to let go the symbolic representations & access the raw concepts directly

Show thread

in a high-dimensional space, complex transformations are simple, linear; but when projected into a lower space, the same transformations are that much messier to represent

this is why the simplest way to solve a difficult problem often is to find the right higher representation

Show thread

any planar projection of a >=3D object inherently necessitates a dimensional reduction; the trick is to minimize lossiness thru salience preservation

in other words, choosing which parts to not cut out very wisely

Show thread

language is but the shadows cast onto the wall of Plato's cave by the luminous manifold of meaning

cryptography and cryptocurrency are technologies that are now unstoppable. they’re never going away. the irony is that a lot of reflexive blockchain-dislikers are actually forfeiting their ability to help decide the future of what these technologies look like in our world

@FreedZach I dunno, I like it - the spiral makes *much* more economical use of the space restrictions in newspapers layouts than histograms, lines plots, etc. Stacking years would invite bad comparisons of months across years, leaving it all on one x-axis would just be insane

this is a pretty good data viz actually, the spiral allows them to
a. pack information more densely without sacrificing readability
b. colocate corresponding time periods, demonstrating periodicity

just bc their politics suck doesn't mean their tech does too
