@NoahRayWrites Nope the pretty one is not halfway as sublime as The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I think a story about sympathizing with bugs maybe actually works better with a hermeneutics of cute monsters, go figure. Save the pretty hermeneutics for King Arthur or something.

@NoahRayWrites It's not ugly at all. I could see the argument that it doesn't have the same transcendent ambitions of a classically beautiful book, and it being bad for children to *never* see ambitious transcendent beauty, but I couldn't tell you whether the other one lives up to that.

One of the clearest signs that someone doesn't understand art fundamentals is when they don't understand the difference between style and ugliness. There are ugly children's books out there. Especially a lot of the new ones. I know because I have a young child and do my fair share of searching. Some people look at Carle and say its ugly and lazy. While many of his copycats are, Eric is not. He pioneered his own esthetic style which is immediately identifiable as his. Eric's attention to detail is what gives away his skill and craft. His art isn't ugly- it is simple, and a beautiful marriage of form and value. Not recognizing that is a show of ignorance; I say that as someone who once thought it too. I am begging people to study some basic art theory. I'm not a banana taped to the wall is art guy. I believe there are objective measures of quality and Eric meets them in his ability to craft.

Instead of getting the Hungry Caterpillar for my children I got “A Butterfly is Patient”. Why? Because children deserve beauty rather than ugliness. It nourishes their spirit in a healthy way. Ugly art is junk food poison for your children. You were told to get Hungry Caterpillar by an insalubrious culture. Resist. Get your children books that depict nature in its true resplendent beauty in anatomically correct images that will help them identify things like caterpillars and butterflies in the real world. This is what they deserve. Let the blobby artists starve on their own egos.

@DadhichFunds I think about the world in terms of phenomena vs theory, i.e. our direct sense experience vs technical theoretical models for predicting phenomena. What junior is demonstrating here is, despite being technical and predictive, maps are also a phenomenon unto themselves.

@violentfemz I don't know which hermeneutics we are up to now but it is a doozy!

As an informed conservative I maintain a rigorous distinction between he/she transgenderism, they/them nonbinary, and any/any agenderism, and get mad when progressives confuse the three.

CBT is genuinely actively harmful for people with genuine mental health issues (like trauma) beyond "idk sometimes I feel sad" The thing about trauma is it is *highly logical*, so telling someone whos been punched in the face everytime they've seen a red balloon that its not logical to brace for being punched in the face every time they see a red balloon is not at all helpful

Things I'm increasingly convinced are mind viruses*: — The spread of pop psychology and subsequent casual self- and other- psychologization — Scientism, making people replace their phenomenology and received tradition with the fake precision of scientific speech — "Theory of change": the idea you need a THEORY to do things * = meaning beliefs that (1) disempower you and (2) spread from person to person

Teaching in the age of LLMs: I failed 4 students, for the first time ever. I also gave more A+'s than ever before. In previous years, students realized after the first or second HW that they weren't in Kansas anymore and needed to work hard. No more. Just solve it with LLMs. But then the midterm arrives, and they can answer 0 of 40 questions. Do they reform their ways? Nah, they just decide to "give up" on class, assuming they'll get a B, or a C, or whatever, because they submitted HW and got decent grades on those. And never before have they encountered a professor who will dare fail them. The flip side is that the most "agentic" students now have the world's best tutor at their disposal. They deeply understand the material and aced my (intentionally very difficult) exams. As if we live in "The Diamond Age". Inequality galore. From my vantage point, "the permanent underclass" appears to be about agency, not assets.

@thinkingshivers It's hard to tell the difference between practicing something during the day, in order to process that experience during your sleep, vs practicing in the day and then 'practicing' in your dreams... As in, I am not convinced there is any difference.

Back when I was into lucid dreaming, I heard an odd story: Allegedly there was a pianist who would practice piano in her dreams. By lucid dreaming each night, she could get way more hours of practice in and become a better pianist. Thinking about this more critically... there's no way that's possible, right? It doesn't seem like we have the hardware for it--that when your dream finger slips and hits the wrong dream key, your mind knows to produce the wrong dream note, letting you know your mistake.

People say this a lot but it's very misleading. Left: Hero's "steam engine". It's a cool scientific demonstration but you can't do anything with it. Right: Newcomen's steam engine, one of the the earliest primitive steam engines to be commercially useful. The principle of motion from steam pressure is neat, but the hard part of building a steam engine is turning that into power you can use. If you went back in time and gave Hero the plans for a Newcomen engine he couldn't build it. The tools to make all those precise machine parts didn't exist. When James Watt invented his improved engine half a century after Newcomen and kicked off the Industrial Revolution, some of the critical tools (like Wilkinson' boring machine) were only invented after Watt had been trying and failing to build his prototype for decades.
