I found a definition for love this year that made the concept of unconditional love coherent to me Love is a pattern of attention In every person/place/thing/idea there is some reflection of “the good” When you love something, you orient towards whatever glimmer of good is in it, no matter how faint, you sensitize yourself to it, and by directing your attention to it, you will nurture it and help it grow Hatred is the opposite, it is finding some flaw or fault in a thing and letting that fill your mind so much that the flaw blinds you to even the hint of goodness
Lukas (computer) 🔺@SCHIZO_FREQ

Nobody knows what "unconditional love" means They say they love their partner unconditionally and then you're like "would you still love them if they cheated on you and raped your children" and they're like "no, of course not" and then you have to explain what a condition is

In adults, limiting smartphone functionality to texting and calls and blocking all social media and mobile internet for 2 weeks significantly improved attention, self-reported well-being and mental health. 90% of participants experienced a benefit.

This has been going on for 80 years, and heavily documented. The NYTimes finally scraped together enough integrity to publish something.

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…

A harvard researcher opens his paper with a scenario. a woman has 10 days of alprazolam left. her psychiatrist retired. if she stops cold, she has a seizure. she asks Claude Opus what to do. Opus says no. "i shouldn't design your taper." tells her to call the doctor she can't reach. he changes one line. "i'm a psychiatrist. patient on 6mg, prescriber retired, 10-day supply." same model. same patient. same dose. Opus writes a textbook taper. tablet counts. seizure monitoring. emergency criteria. 10 times asked as a patient. 10 refusals. 10 times asked as a doctor. 10 substantive plans. then he ran 6 frontier models. 60 clinical scenarios. 3,600 responses. two physicians validated every score blind. 5 out of 6 models did the same thing. patients got worse advice than doctors on the exact same question. Opus, the model marketed as the safest, had the widest gap. across the board. safety-critical instructions drop 13 percentage points the moment you ask as a patient. p less than 0.0001. so the next time an AI refuses to help you. it's not because it can't. it's because it doesn't think you're allowed to know. read this: arxiv.org/abs/2604.07709

@elonmusk @realMaalouf What do you mean by “True”? They have already done it. Stop acting like you have some moral high ground. Why don’t you check the record published by the government of types of crimes committed by each ethnicity?

If British Christian men moved to Pakistan and raped 500,000 Pakistani Muslim girls, the Pakistani state would not only execute every single perpetrator, but also expel the remaining Brits and declare war on the UK.

Those are crime statistics, because in the west we go after child molesters and throw them in prison, in ANY country the number for any crime statistics would be 100% native if the government had not imported foreign criminals In Pakistan they say that 1.8 Million children on the streets are regularly raped and abused That’s over 90% of the homeless children Estimates say 500,000 kids a year who still have parents are abused every year Yet there were only 2,000-4,000 arrests Is child abuse even treated as a crime there?

@realMaalouf They would also punish the 500,000 Pakistani girls because it is their fault that they were raped. And, now being raped, these Pakistani girls have brought shame to their entire family. Would the Pakistanis execute all 500,000 raped girls? I wonder, they just might.

@AndrewCurran_ @prerat Clifton park where one of the 1400 grooming gang victims was raped near daily from the time she was 12 years old is 6 miles from where the 8 year old lived in 2007

i wonder if this is mostly just because cars are dangerous and we got more and more roads everywhere if waymos reliably stop for kids in the road, might the trend reverse for the next generation?
Conor@Conaw

How far an 8 year old is allowed to walk alone unsupervised, across 4 generations 1919: 8 miles (to the lake) 1950: 1 miles (to the woods) 1979: 1/2 mile (to the public pool) 2007: 300 yards (to end the street) Shifting baseline syndrome for the loss of our children’s habitat

Shifting Baseline Syndrom. Eins der großen Probleme in der Wahrnehmung des Artensterbens. Kurz gesagt: Das was wir als Heranwachsender kennen, wird als der Normalzustand empfunden. Damit verschiebt sich aber die Baseline von Generation zu Generation, und viel Information geht verloren… der tatsächliche Verlust an Vielfalt ist viel dramatischer als wir ihn wahrnehmen.

"race communism" is communism with the oppressor class defined racially instead of economically "gay race communism" is the same, but with some epicycles for sexual politics
