@CalliopeTealjoy @noworkfunction @alexbronzini yes a good christian forgives a man and prays for his salvation before hanging him
English
@CalliopeTealjoy @alexbronzini i didn't particularly want to ever have an attitude like this but the alternative is unilateral disarmament
i agree its highly destructive but destruction is baked in at this point and i would like it to be at least destruction that advantages my family

I think we need a grand bargain on Woke, where the left agrees that it sucked, and the right agrees to stop acting victimized by it half a decade later
English
@eigenrobot @alexbronzini You will never build a stable society with this attitude.

@eigenrobot @bronzebarbarian for how much longer can they keep this up? all they need is one mistake and poof, they're gone forever and the oil's ours.

There seems to be an upper age limit for when we are expected to be willing to try a new kind of meat, but not for when trying new fish, why is that?
English
@eigenrobot @alexbronzini Bless his heart.
One the one hand, I can kind of admire the aspirational energy.
OTOH, you're 19 years old. Go do something useful and real for a decade or two before deciding the rest of us need your assistance in framing developments within our culture.

This guy is a teenager who thinks attending Harvard gives him worthwhile insight into the social dynamics of the past few decades which he has essentially no memory or experience with.
He was in middle school for George Floyd. He can't even perceive the causal path from Obama to Trump outside of what others tell him.

@eigenrobot I just don't think Qatar should be run by Qataris at this point. Their oil should be our oil.

@eigenrobot True love is doing little things like that I think cuz it’s about the intention in both sides, she does it cuz she thinks you like it and you pretend to like it to make her happy and honor her efforts. It’s never actually about the cookies
English
tragic: my mother somehow got the idea that i enjoy oatmeal in my cookies and she's been making me oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for decades now and i don't have the heart to try to correct her anymore because i wouldn't want to break her heart like that
English
@mderin3y i didn't even lie i tried correcting her at one point and it just didn't stick
i'm not gonna bother my mom about this i just won't
English
@eigenrobot This is a valuable lesson about lying. You can think about that as you choke down your cookies and milk.

@jon_vs_moloch @pli_cachete i don't know but i wish them nothing but happiness and a long life

I’m interested in the idea of art that is actively hostile to its audience. Something that is deliberately not satisfying / intentionally makes you miserable or tries to get you to stop consuming it.
The game Pathologic sort of works because the jank and tedium and unfairness makes you miserable. You have to be bored and miserable to connect with the endings.
The book Sadly, Porn is also like this. There author literally says at the beginning is actively trying to discourage you from reading the book before hitting you with a 20 page long footnote about bizarre sexual habits.
What else is like this?

@ArnenLocke @pli_cachete as a deliberate obscurantist, game recognize game
English
@eigenrobot @pli_cachete Lmao, I could hardly put it down! It is kind of an antimeme in a way, though. One person put it well, I think, when they said: "Everything makes sense, if you're as smart as Gene Wolfe. Unfortunately, no one is as smart as Gene Wolfe." 😂

@ArthurB just the opposite the reasons were invented to rationalize its persistence
English
@eigenrobot Even if it started as superstition, it survived because it had a deeper reason to persist as a norm.
English
this is a fun thing to consider but the actual answer is that speaking ill of the dead was tabooed by the deep western religion because the living feared the wrath of dis manes, the shades of the passed
the rites of death are the most highly conserved of all cultural elements
Oliver Traldi@olivertraldi
What's the main reason not to speak ill of the dead?

impact of state-level political control over physical infrastructure in an age of (1) AI and (2) federal legislative gridlock may be interesting

Blue states just refuse to build things. Data centers (and factories, and other productive things) will be built in red states instead, and if necessary, in space.

@eigenrobot Christianity is designed to bring the best bits of other cultures together, but most accusations of syncretism i've seen are exaggerated. and i don't think the founding fathers or any* of their inspirations were putting any paganism at the same level as Christianity
English
people will say "we're a nation founded on judeochristian values" and that's true as far as it goes but we are in other areas founded on the religion of the steppe, and much of that religion has regardless been absorbed by christianity even as it was supplanted
