still blown away a group of guys in 400bc hypothesized, from observing nature, that all matter was composed of microscopic building blocks called “atoms”.

continuing my rabbit hole of the history of western thought. learning about the Sophists, which i would catagorize as the woke inflooencers of the ancient greek world, who convinced of their own wisdom, would charge people, expecially people who wanted to be famous or run for office, exhorbitant fees to hear their truth. Except, they didnt believe in truth. They believed all truth was relative. And 'lived experience' was the only truth. from this maylay, emerges the 4chan troll of the ancient Greek world, Gorgias, who trolls the entire intellectual class by persuasively arguing using Sophistic logic, that nothing at all exists. had he left any writings behind, they would have been in aLtCaPs. there is no new retardation under the sun.

i have an inkling the hubris of some “too big to fail” Free Software projects has them headed toward a cliff. 🤷 we’ll see.

who came up with the term “global south” besides bankers and douchebags? southern hemisphere to hard to pronounce?

i feel spring comin. gets me riled.

nostr will continue. but some infloooencer types and fame wanters will wash out. 🤷 🥱

the number of things a bowl of soup is a remedy for is unusually large.

it seems “strategic “ actually means “f*** y** we’re taking your stuff”

you can just live wild and free

normie christian fundamentalists always miss the next move of God because they are too busy arguing that the last one wasnt real.

still laughing after learning there were fitness influencers, lifestyle (look how rich and hot i am) influencers and political commentators in the Greco-Roman world. And that this gave rise to the Sophists, “how to be an influencer” influencers who would charge a fee for advising people on how to be more popular and get elected. There is no new retardation under the sun. 🌞

have you noticed @Marty Bent is almost always happy? what’s that worth besides priceless? View quoted note →

well... TIL, Philostratus. The social commentator who dunked on the fitness and lifestyle infloooencers of the 3rd century Greco-Roman attention economy. There is nothing new under the sun.

til, the battle of Morgarten. Where 1500 farmers lured 9000 trained, armed Knights into a narrow pass between a mountain and a lake, and pushed rockslides and rolling logs down on them destroying the entire army. Giving birth to Switzerland. 🇨🇭

@ben how are your roasting experiments going?
