What happens when students get an open AND structured space to explore ideas? They become more articulate, confident & willing to engage with even more challenging questions. This @parlayseminars group has tackled: - Government shutdowns - Solutions to the Israel-Palestine conflict - Indigenous land claims - Religion in the modern world This is what happens when students are trusted with real ideas & expected to engage seriously.

@IvanVendrov could be the default class response, related to the concept of slave morality

@annalysis7 interesting yeah very similar. I don't think it can be pure effort (extremely hard-working blue collar jobs not famous for their optimism). agency requiring optimism is more plausible. still remains the puzzle of why pessimism would be the cultural default (if it is, in fact)

CEO friend of mine really hates doomerism & cultural pessimism. Used to be much more ok with it but something about being an executive made him realize those thoughts are actively value-destroying. is the selection here for wisdom (focus on what you want) or for blindness?

@annalysis7 I like the framing of “unpleasant” and “pleasant” emotions. All emotions serve a purpose. Life is about expression thus emotions are meant to be processed. I guess channeling our emotions is one way of processing them.

Existing alongside every negative emotion is the potential to channel it toward an equal and opposite reaction.

In a mimetic world, you can organize your own version of reality by seeking the darkest part of the forest, alone. The absence of light is a forcing function. You won't find your life's quests by walking the charted path.

The modern school system was built when information was scarce. Now attention and meaning are scarce. Update the design criteria.

Had a wonderful time at the beautifully-orchestrated Cosmos Symposium last weekend :) Some ideas that stayed with me: - Social relations historically played a role in orienting people toward their higher-level desires. Can tech play that role? Should it? - Autonomy and truth-seeking rely on coordination, which is difficult to attain with decentralization. How can we find a balance? - Learning is 90% having a motivated student, 10% giving them the right level of challenge - Why is it still important to learn facts in a world with LLMs? “When you reason without a fact base, we call that hallucination/making shit up” - Can corporations remain devoted to moral values rather than capital/short-term metrics? - Power accretes where the meaningful state accretes - Tech should not replace the struggle of becoming but equip people to tackle greater challenges - The key to happiness is contributing to a community - Novel ideas come from people coming together and trying to understand/align our minds, and the friction resulting from that - Gardening vs. building: in gardening, you harness the intrinsic emergent energy of another system vs. imposing your own system upon it. A teacher is not just a gardener but also a plant; “builders” are not separate from “users - Two perspectives on power: Great Man Theory (inherent greatness) vs. believing in the intrinsic ability of every person and developing it - The best way to aid someone’s becoming is to remain in conversation with them and illuminate their blind spots
Cosmos Institute@cosmos_inst

We all shared what we were building during the event. The responses covered everything from strengthened community to augmenting intelligence. But there was a shared belief that we are all building towards a greater goal. Everyone saw technology as a means, not an end.

The challenges that we at @_ProjectOntario discussed last night. Lack of paper and markers did not make the list. 1. Increased violence in classrooms. 2. Record student absenteeism 3. Pluralities of students at key junctures (gr 3,6,9) failing to meet basic standards 4. Boards that are too big, bureaucratic for parents to meaningfully engage. No human scale. 5. Curriculum driven by ideology and that fails to follow cognitive science on math/reading, and which provides no clear framework for history/socials and which is dominated by binary, neo-Marxist visions coming from OISE. 6. Failure to provide teachers with clear sequencing and materials. Teachers left on their own with no guidance. 7. Failure to properly assist non English speakers, and kids with disabilities. “Inclusive” classrooms failing and harming outcomes of both kids with unique needs, and broader classroom. 8. “Fortress” mentality at ministry of education that perpetuates existing structure and which is status quo biased. Structural uniformity that believes that the state should be the only delivery agent for ed fails to gain advantage of a plural system like those in every other major province in Canada. A refusal to consider engaging and funding alternative systems while holding them to account for identified outcomes.

Asked whether the Ford government is using the purchase cards to placate teachers ahead of contract talks: “I find that question insulting. We don't placate anyone. We appreciate our teachers. But no, I love our teachers.” #onpoli

The hedge is probably the worst thing to do. The first thing my (now) wife and I did when we met was share that we wanted something serious and agree to full-ass commit to just seeing each other and see how things played out. This eliminated the guesswork and just let us focus on the relationship, not if there were other "fish in the sea". - man with wife
Zelda@zeldapoem

These are the patterns I notice among my male friends who struggle to find a wife: > They say they are looking for a wife, but they aren't. They are enamored with the idea to have a partner, but they don't make space in their life for her to show up. > They treat it like they treat everything else: a todo list. They think you can follow a playbook in order to find your person, and get frustrated when it doesn't work. > Unromantic. Women wants the flowers, the compliments, the acts of service. Might sound basic to men, but these things matter a lot for women > They have a precise idea of what they want her to look like. We often get hung up with preferences (physical, religious, etc) when looking for the one. Maybe she is right before your eyes, you just haven't considered her as a candidate. > They are immature and not ready. Let's be real! A lot of young men aren't spiritually and emotionally mature enough to handle the wise, Wild, and intuitive nature of a woman > Fear of commitment. Instead of confidently asking a woman out, they'll put themselves in a situationship out of indecisiveness. > They are always focused on whether someone else might be better for them. That's the trap of dating apps' infinite choice. Once you find someone you love enough, you need to turn off that part of your brain and devote yourself to loving your partner. > Lack of courage. Sometimes you will have to FIGHT (metaphorically) to get and keep her. Some guys overdo it, but most underdo it. It's your role to win her heart and protect it, I don't make the rules

LLMs are living off the moral and intellectual capital of a pre-AI world, just like Nietzsche said secular liberals live off Christianity. What happens when the inheritance runs out? Using LLMs well — knowing when to trust them, how to interrogate their outputs, what questions are worth asking — depends on capacities that are pre-LLM in origin: critical judgment, domain expertise, philosophical seriousness, taste. People who use LLMs well right now tend to be people formed by traditions of deep reading, argument, and intellectual discipline that were not themselves produced by or optimized for interaction with language models. The tool works for them because they bring something the tool cannot supply. Nietzsche thought secular liberals were coasting on the fumes of a Christian metaphysics they'd officially abandoned. The shadow of God lingering on the cave wall. The question is whether LLM-native thinking is the same kind of afterglow.
