@___frye So Wall E is a work glorifying the indomitable Promethean spirit of humanity despite even the darkest clutches of dogmatism.

It is slowly dawning on me that the single thing a lot of incredibly intelligent people could do to vastly improve their lives and impact on the world is to have more courage . Why are we in such a deep courage deficit? What is going on here.

The sluttiest thing a man can do is to encourage her stated preferences and protect her from the consequences of her revealed preferences.

@varunramg The year is 2030. The entire Y Combinator class is payroll apps. You must swear fealty to gay race communism to get a job. The government decides which payroll app everyone is required to use each year based on their alignment with the principles of diversity and inclusion.

@bf_crane “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” is a timepiece song celebrating America as the pinnacle post-Enlightenment country. It’s the progeny of Goethe’s Faust as it lauds the triumph of man over the devil.

The Phenomenology of Cattyness:. How is it that RFH, one of the most unkind & candidly crass accounts in the local cluster, gets to cast judgement on a mildly uncharitable tweet to rancorous applause? . The answer, of course, is all about ingroups

@ApodacaHaracio @___frye It’s dark because it’s atrophying. It turns humans spiritually and physically (as seen in the movies) into sub-human sludge. People reach their potential by striving, yearning, exploring… all major themes of the movie.

@twinkdefcon What do you think would have happened? . If Trump was killed every single person who owns a MAGA hat and an AR would be out in the streets indefinitely. Do you, TwinkDefcon, feel compelled to take on a domestic militia? . If Trump was killed every American alive today would lose.

You can have literally whatever you want in this world. Just be serious enough to become the type of person who gets it. Ages ago, everyone knew you could bend the world to your will. It was unserious people wanting to feel better who started the myth that you can't.

@Austen There's no pausing - if OpenAI goes to 1 or 2 they die as a company and everyone else keeps going at 10. "Slowing down" in the way Emmett Shear envisions it is impossible.

When are we going to admit that “beating depression” is just taking the obvious steps to improve your life and that obsessing over “neurochemicals” has done more harm than good.
They buried the lede on this new study. It's not that exercise beats out SSRIs for depression treatment, but that *just* dancing has the largest effect of *any treatment* for depression. That's kind of beautiful.

@___frye The book Creativity Inc, written by one of the co-founders of the company is precisely about how they were able to consistently produce great films one after the other. The answer to why they don't do it anymore is: the leadership changed and the culture was not strong enough to.

@bronzeagemantis My black pill on parenting is that either you are a good parent or you are not (regardless of how you discipline your children) and the only way to “become a better parent” is to just deal with your own shit first.

Yo I'm realizing all we need to do to 10x the output of TPOT is to teach some of you less chronically online people how to poast. And not just shitpost, but like do the web-of-threads thing that Visa does. Use Twitter as your scratchpad. Realizing it's a major bottleneck?.

@annarmitchell I have similar fantasies. Car will stop running in 3 months and you cannot find parts unless you want to fly them in for thousands of dollars from all around the world. That’s before you find a mechanic who knows how to fix it. But those 3 months will be incredible.

People say they want a girlfriend but it’s this “a” that’s the problem . In wanting “a” gf you fail to see the totality of the other person (and yourself). It’s like a parent going to a playground and saying “I want to pick up A kid” rather than “I want to pick up my kid”.

@JLM4CivilRights @zarathustra5150 In the canonical version of this argument, the thinking goes that those men fought or were eligible to fight when they were younger and thus were once under the same arrangement.

Guy who believes you can separate ethics from metaphysics. Show me one pre-modern stable society which did this effectively. “God is dead” was a pronouncement about the social implications of the collapse of an ontology.
The phrase "God-shaped hole" is misleading because religion is largely about community and tradition, not god. The metaphysics, of course, can be pleasing and meaningful, but the importance of religion is grounded in daily life, not in abstract beliefs.

A romantic vibe between two people is an egregore. Trying to deny it is like trying to ignore a whole third person, it’s practically impossible to not address romantic tension unless you want to be come off aloof.

I’ve found the single most reliable factor of “does he/she really like me” in the talking stage is that they have to have a *tinge* of desperation for you. Every time there wasn’t, it was a waste of time.
