It’s so fucked up that the weather is going to get kind of shitty again

Applying for jobs is fun and not tedious or dehumanizing

Have to say it’s not looking likely to fundamentally transform the region while remaining contained

Well it’s an Anglican Bible amirite

I believe the Emperor of Japan should preside ceremonially over all baseball games

I have no sense of what’s going on in the Iran war. Some people say Iran has been fucked up, some people say the US has been embarrassed. People say the war may continue for weeks or months but it’s totally unclear what the goals even are. Most weirdly opaque event.

Answer: yes

I’m not going to read your substack, sorry. If you believe you understand how consciousness works, you are claiming very special knowledge. If you don’t understand that you’re doing that, you don’t understand enough to be making the claim.

If you can specify the mechanism, publish and win the nobel prize. If you can’t, you are welcome to believe, but you’re expressing an article of metaphysical faith.

If you “assuredly” could do this, you would have an understanding of how consciousness works

Even if we don’t know how consciousness works, we know what AI does: predicts the next most likely token in a sequence. We shouldn’t think AI is conscious *unless* we think that’s what consciousness is.

If we don’t know how consciousness works, we can’t be confident that’s what it is.

Will I be able to enjoy Slay the Spire 2 if I never slew the first spire

It went just okay. This is because you guys didn’t pray hard enough. Expect better from you all going forward.

I think approval for the war almost exactly tracks approval for Trump

I have a job interview at 12:30. Prayers appreciated it goes well.

The left has been unequivocally on the right side of every war of my lifetime

Ran the Harvard Coop (east coast elitist)

Worked in a factory (salt of the earth)

“I am supporting the war because I hope it will fundamentally remake a region of 411 million people, while also remaining limited.”

Got it thanks.

There are spouses in the world who choose to accept that their partner is having an affair or has affairs. I think that’s about as close to “happy” (read: often deeply miserable) open relationships get.

Declining superpowers don’t even pivot to China anymore they just look at you like this

To me. However I do not feel like accepting their surrender.

This is so real

Do you think Anthony Bourdain ever tried a turkey club? I think the bread in the middle thing would have really blown his mind.

Bars with moulding under them be like “Bar looks great. Just one last touch left to add. We really need something for our customers to painfully smash their knees against.”

Bro I’m 15 minutes into this game and they got me crine

I’m downloading Expedition 33. Excited to get to the bottom of this whole “France” thing.

I heard people call it the greatest film ever made for years and finally grudgingly was like “fine I’ll watch it”. Yea greatest film ever made.

Polanski is a freak who belongs in prison but he directed the best Macbeth so who’s to say

The idea that the troops themselves must be figures of uncritical adulation totally regardless of the justice of the cause in which they fight has an enormous depoliticizing effect. You must have the courage to hate the troops.
