My boomer parents who have been brainwashed by Fox News for the last 35 years really do think Iran was going to nuke Israel off the map. Can’t even begin to have a conversation with them about it - they don’t listen.

It’s been downhill starting with Lincoln View quoted note →

Wake up, Neo.

Reading Gödel, Escher, Bach is quite the exercise and reward. I remember loving linear algebra, but never went really past elementary differential equations. In GEB there is a very simple explanation of Euclid’s Proof - the infinitude of prime numbers, and it’s so easy to understand.

GM nostr. Build real world stuff.

Trump is so vain and out of touch that he will be on the $100 bill, which everyone is too broke to carry around.

Saturday training day.

I’m a sucker for nice looking and playing TCGs, and boy does that Cyberpunk 2077 kickstarter look dope. But the price is 😣

I don’t know anything about College basketball, but this seems like a good start.

Some people read Stephen King for the spooky thriller horror.

One of the amazing things about LLMs is that I can explore ideas easily. Take for instance, this MIU theorem explorer inspired by the book GEB. Much faster than paper and pencil and it won’t let you make an error.

Thinking that we could use distributed, decentralized, anonymous networks to facilitate resistance to the likes of palintir and other state owned AI resources. Would clawdbot be a starting point? I’m don’t have enough engineering expertise to do this. Else go full off grid…

Literally everyone saying there is no off-ramp for this war now. They are wrong. USA tells Iran behind closed doors we are leaving the war. USA pulls out of gulf. USA bombs Israel on the way out. USA abolishes its entire congress and executive branch.

Cursed State stole $700 of my $2000 cash bonus this year. 🤦‍♂️

“The trouble about argument is that it moves the whole struggle onto the Enemy’s own ground. He can argue too; whereas in really practical propaganda of the kind I am suggesting He has been shown for centuries to be greatly the inferior of Our Father Below. By the very act of arguing, you awake the patient’s reason; and once it is awake, who can foresee the result? Even if a particular train of thought can be twisted so as to end in our favour, you will find that you have been strengthening in your patient the fatal habit of attending to universal issues and withdrawing his attention from the stream of immediate sense experiences. Your business is to fix his attention on the stream. Teach him to call it “real life” and don’t let him ask what he means by “real”.” -Screwtape Letters

You know it’s bad when you start agreeing with Reddit posts.

Reddit - The heart of the internet

The fact that the people making decisions at the highest level are so incompetent is astounding. Ask anyone with half a brain what could have possibly been the response, and they would have come up with these. View quoted note →
