Qualia and their Consequences 🧵 for @threadapalooza

Copilot: here's some code you can paste into your file Me: here's why I don't think that will work Copilot: (verbatim, including bolding) "My earlier example ... was an **oversimplified sketch** and **not technically correct**"

Please don’t take the black pill of men/women relations that this site if feeding all of you. It’s all fake, gay, and staged. Life is beautiful. Good girls are out there, good guys are out there. Go be the best version of yourself and you’ll see. Never doom.

Lately I'm finding myself paying dearly for every stupid evasive lie, but I think this is something to be thankful for?

I think in the final analysis the millennial sensibility comes out of the conviction that total passivity is the only ethical life

@theralkia lfg

I think I need to start talking about anima/animus possession

If people are fighting for an orb you are reading fantasy. If people are fighting for a cube you are reading sci-fi. If it has more sides than that. I dont know. I dont know man.

😂😂😂😂😂

@chercher_ai Was the mean infinity?

I took a poll in my class today - the modal expected remaining lifetime of the human species was 1000 years

@MercyMacabre Every now and then (actually quite frequently in my current life phase) something like this gives me a feeling of "oh THIS is the big secret of how you're supposed to do life" which is a bit suspicious tbf (like not all these insights can be The Pearl Of Great Price)

@peakexperiments There are sensations that are harder to dissociate from than others. 😅 But in general, this is a powerful stance to take whenever possible.

Training myself to interpret, by default, any discomfort as "hey here's a sensation, isn't this Fun, let's explore it" rather than "oh no bad thing, must fix ASAP", wcgw

The trick for me isn't the self-observation (I'd already dabbled enough in meditation to know how to separate from my thoughts and experiences) but the simple choice not to assume five alarm fire from the get-go This choice has risks ofc but I suspect it's gonna be way worth it

This seems Powerful, I wish my hypochondriac ass had known about this like 20 years ago

This should be the energy for the rest of 2026:

When I feel into it, a lot of my guilt around work and how I “should” be doing something more in line with my values, this guilt tends to resolve into a general guilt for existing at all

I remember reading libertarian stuff in the 90s and one of the examples of how government anything is crap was "if it's very important that your package arrives, do you send it USPS or FedEx?" In 2026 the answer is definitely USPS.

@scottdomes It's harder than it looks to climb Maslow's hierarchy

I’ve talked to dozens of people about their grandest ambition and why they want it and it all comes down to “I want to feel safe & I want to love”

What doesn’t kill you makes you weird at intimacy

@shinboson If it's not autism per se it's something else that deserves a name

I love meeting moots because everyone's always like "yeah haha the autism thing is a bit silly, everyone's self diagnosed it's not real" and then they spend the next hour and a half talking about their shared coping strategies for navigating society
