Acceptance: “I’m here for reality. Whatever’s real, bring it. I’ll deal with it.” Acceptance in the buddhist or stoic sense is *not* acceptance of a particular narrative. Acceptance is deference to the world. Dynamic responsiveness to dynamic reality is boss-level Acceptance. This was not written by a bot 🤪

@mold_time This is so real. Truth is inside the experience, not outside it. No experiences = no truths

Some people say we live in a post-truth world, but we believe that truth begins with experiencing. If you feel that you don’t know the world around you, it is time for you to observe your surroundings with an open mind. Data collection is both surprising and strange.

@Meaningness Glad to see someone embrace the kitsch. Shared appreciation is a major way to communicate shared vision 😁 Allowing embarrassment about doing it is how communities of cooperation get hijacked, imo

Blessing things feels embarrassing at first, but if you push through that, it becomes ecstatic

It’s relevant, beneficial, and useful. Work becomes meaningful when beneficiaries accept, appreciate, and use it. If you do the work for yourself, that’s automatic. If you share the work, meaning has to be communicated. Meaning is extinguished by rejection, objections, and disuse

what makes work meaningful? i have: - leave the world better than you found it - overcome some challenge and in the process better yourself anything else?

Attention follows interest. You can coerce interest, or cultivate it. The coerced and cultivated interest of the previous civilization is dwindling. What now? Imo, the arts need to show in an obvious way how they are beneficial, useful, and relevant. They coasted without doing that for a few centuries. And, let’s be honest, many works of art drifted into irrelevant, harmful, and useless territory. Arts need to re-establish credibility. Then, maybe people won’t fall asleep during performances.

“Aging demographics” has always been a problem for symphonies, but it has a new flavor now: We’re losing the people with an attention span. It’s affecting theater, music, film, literature — it’s a problem for everyone, regardless of age. No one can focus.
Coltrane’s Horn@ColtranesHorn

@jameszimmermann I fear we are in for a lot of symphony dysfunction as leftism and aging demographics are a killer one-two punch

@perrymetzger Sad thing is, humanity goes extinct if we don’t make it work. Every new generation is an astonishing miracle. Our ancestors figured out gardening and root cellars. We need to figure out space travel and superintelligence. It has never been easy.

Imagine being in a world where people like this destroy western civilization and result in views completely antithetical to our own taking over the world. Then, someone gives you the option to go back in time to now. What would you do?
Michaël (in NYC)@MichaelTrazzi

Imagine being in a world where we don't make it. One day, humanity goes extinct from building superintelligence. Then, someone gives you the option to come back to this date, March 27 2026, and try again. What would you do differently?

The term alignment seems vague. It is undefinable. A better term is maybe accountability We can design for accountability, but not alignment. By keeping systems transparent and simple, even contributors that are more intelligent can be held accountable by keeping the plans and processes visible. Where we lose visibilty, accountability disappears.

Plus, it’s way more exhilarating to succeed together instead of independently. Sharing success is a good route to happiness.

The Nash Equilibrium aficionados are living this weird “max for me” systematized selfishness, leaving discretionary effort on the table. Everybody loses the extra benefits they could get by cooperating, making and keeping agreements and alliance, and building trust

So, Nash was wrong… his equilibrium is the max you can get *without cooperation and trust*. Von Neumann already said, to get the max benefit, you need agreements, alliances and cooperation. Discretionary effort adds *unpredictable benefits*, and it’s a huge deal.

@St_Rev I have a bite of mashed potatoes every Thanksgiving. 10 bites, 10 years 🤪 I think it’s more delicious that way.

@St_Rev The potato is really a spiritual concept. Plenty in famine. Electricity. Rockets, if you’re creative. Taste-wise, it is replaceable by everything from dirt to air. Everything. The potato is yin and yang before discernment. The potato is all.

There are a few once-in-lifetime potato manifestations one should try (once, in a lifetime): Hashbrowns, on a ranch, after feeding 3-5 bales of hay to 6-10 cows, at 6:45 am. Break ice in water troughs first ofc, Loaded baked potato, after harvesting 2-20 tons of potato on the mobile conveyer belts, blowing out all the dirt snot, and then singing hymns, Tator tots, at “The Stop”, at a restaurant notorious for employing the only gay man in Idaho (tots must be made fresh, not frozen)

Nash was probably compromised. Adjust your priors / world views / identity as needed. Sorry, good luck, stay strong, et cetera.

“This is the core of the Nash equilibrium: rational action is whatever maximizes your own expected payoff, assuming every other player does the exact same thing independently. There is no room for trust, promises, or joint strategy unless it happens to be self-enforcing in equilibrium.” Nash is a fraud 😆 omg. Gah Not everyone thinks like this And NONE of them will wash your laundry or make food for you.

Nash straight-up contradicted von Neumann, maybe thinking we wouldn’t / couldn’t notice. Nash: trust doesn’t exist, everyone serves themself. Von Neumann: obviously we have to trust each other. And we have to build trust snd keep it.

@DefenderOfBasic @speakerjohnash Trust. Integrity. These are based on repeated acts of verifiable trustability, and nothing else. Think on this, everyone who wants to be trusted. Is what you say verifiable? It matters now.
