Tell the truth.
Whatever cunning alternative heuristic you have is worse.

I had the strange experience the other night of going to someone with concerns and hearing a defense in which every explanation was considerably worse than I had supposed. The most sane line was "You're probably going to think this is crazy, but [insane schizophrenic ravings]."

I don't really drink but when I visited my family over Christmas at one point I had a trivial amount of alcohol and after a bit it struck me that I was probably talking far more than usual. (Far more than a tiny amount is still not a lot, sample size, etc. etc.)

The way Northern European white boys go from autistic only talking about their random fishing and other hobbies no woman cares about to loose and touchy with one beer needs to be studied. There is truly something primitive about it

@slightcontempt I sometimes have the intense feeling that the world is far too impure for me.

Memes aside, being a sensitive young man (or maybe not so young) is actually a pretty terrible experience day-to-day. If I could get the surgery to remove the sighing 19th century artist homunculus from my brain I would. He’s exhausting and kind of gay.

I feel a lot better physically than I have in a while, which I think is having the unforeseen consequence of making me far more irritable.

It has long been known (and self-evident) that national IQ is strongly correlated with national prosperity and well-being, but it was too politically incorrect to state this openly, so scholars turned to 'years of schooling' as a PC proxy. Then Goodhart’s Law kicked in, and now we’re stuck with silly worldviews and very wasteful cargo cults.

when education was mainly a private affair, additional years of schooling were pursued by those who thought they could get the highest return on a year’s lost salary + tuition. Now that it is funded by grants and government loans, it is increasingly pursued by those with the lowest expected income
