  • “If we assume X theorem is true, Y theorem is true, and lemma Z is true, then …”

    This is actually about our models and seeing their incompleteness in a new light, right? I don’t think starting from arbitrary axioms and then trying to build reality was about proving qualities about reality. Or am I wrong? Just seems like they’re using “simulated reality” as a way to talk about our models for reality. By constructing a “silly” argument about how we can’t possibly be in a matrix, they’re revealing just how much we’re still missing.








  • I get looking at terrorism as a simple data point and then saying left wing terrorism is on the rise. When there’s more violence then it’s indicative of underlying problems.

    But most of the time the conversation implies people need to clean up their act. Politicians must stop using charged language. People must chill out.

    In that vein, I’m curious how much left wing violence is real. When people are getting shot down for trying to get abortions, getting put on lists…

    That’s like playing half a chord progression.

    But when you fight back, that’s also a terrorism. Hitting the bully is still violence, and can’t we all just chill?? Lmao




  • If groceries cost us $500 per month and our government says it accepted $10 from an anonymous donor to help pay for next months groceries, what does it mean?

    Like what just happened? Did they just make a joke / are they fucking with people?

    Are they only funding their gestapo? Are they strategically activating specific personnel via a check, and ignoring less critical or more motivated soldiers?

    It’s as if someone threw some coins at the crowd just for a chance to talk about how it’s the Democrats who “opted” not to pay them. I wish they more deliberately explored the “it costs billions to pay the military yet the 130 million is gonna do… something” part of the story.









  • Endorsement? Or depictions?

    It’s historical fiction. The Bible predates religion: straight from the cult era. Christians, Muslims, and Jews are just dingle berries stuck to our cultural relics. These books belong to secular people. And since when are secular people using this stuff to promote rape?

    For that reason, plus being against such puritan attitudes toward content, is why I think censoring this stuff is bullshit.

    People are going to stoop to hyper literal interpretations of a NSFW label and ignore the subject of cens*rsh*p… Because religious people suck? I get it, but this is our shit. Fuck what they say or think about our fiction.
