"What is the human being today? That which he is accounted to be. And he is accounted to be the summary drawn from the answers to the many questionnaires addressed to him from all sides – the human being is the result gained through a gigantic calculative approach to him – he is what is offered up by an index card file. Will this human being still be able to encounter a God; or, more clearly asked: will any God still be willing to enter the atmosphere of this human being?" -Heidegger

"one who as a ‘reactionary’ against the future is only for the ‘tradition’ has the same aversion to meditation as do those who blindly believe in what is new and through the latest achievements already sense themselves satisfactorily confirmed in relation to the past" -Heidegger

You start to see AI predicted everywhere. Reading Infinite Jest recently, and now in this jaw-dropping, narrative-less chapter which comes out of nowhere hundreds of pages into Vasily Grossman's Life and Fate. Gut punch

You can hate Dugin Russia Iran Islam Jews Israel etc but it is impossible to hate thinkers thinking and discussing. Call it "the politics of friendship" or the problem of the citizen and the stranger or the corrupting force of philosophy. Or as Davila put it, all civilizations differ, but the civilized people among them acknowledge each other with a discreet smile. Or, the enemy is our question als gestalt, and as Heidegger beautifully and rightly said, questioning is the piety of thought

The very young Leo Strauss who thought that Zionism was about Hebrew language & Torah study was corrected by Jabotinsky who replied: “rifle practice.”

@tunguz The most thought-provoking thing in our thought-provoking time

AI is still not thinking.

@N8Programs @Allan_OnTheLine @_BILLDING_ @deepfates @devgerred @___4o____ @Marianthi777 @noveltokens Nice Aipsychosis.millermanschool.com

Announcing a Panel on AI Psychosis, featuring @Allan_OnTheLine, @_BILLDING_, @deepfates, @devgerred, @___4o____, @Marianthi777, and @noveltokens. A semi-moderated discussion on the issue of AI psychosis, how it manifests, how to define it, and more! March 21st, 1-2PM EST.

"AI is the ultimate 'wellspring of the deep,' a force that pulls together oceans of human knowledge and begins to take over tasks we once thought only humans could do. Without the 'windows of heaven'—the structure and meaning provided by Torah—that flood of knowledge threatens to drown us."

With Ali Larijani I had very long philosophical conversation but not about Kant. About Sohravardi and his theory of Tenth Intellect, about Malakut and about Purple Archangel. Translator was exhausted finding the adequate words with great difficulty. Larijani was wise and deep.

It is good that Thiel speaks about Antichrist and Katehon. These topics are really relevant today. But what he says is a kind of full confusion. He reduces the Antichrist to left liberal globalism only (World Government, Soros, Greta). It is a part of the truth. They are.

Universities are cooked. However, very bullish on the humanities at large (just outside of the academy: @millerman, @JohannesAchill, @costofglory,...). Look at how many big philosophy YT channels popped up. And having spent the last two weeks talking to applicants for our next 10-week philosophy seminar, the desire and drive is there! If we get this right we got a golden age of humanities ahead of us.

@DefiyantlyFree I hate to break this to you but some of us read books and talk to interesting people in between posting on the internet I get that you just believe whatever you see or hear but some people have the magical ability to hear and even discuss an idea without adopting all of it

I'm 78% AI psychotic What about you? aipsychosis.millermanschool.com

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if infrastructure like this 👇 gets blown up, as of this moment it will take at least a decade to recover from this war - and the truth is that the world's energy picture is probably changed forever. This single facility 👇produced roughly 20% of global LNG supply (aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/18…) and, as of 2011, had taken $70 billion to build (energyintel.com/0000017b-a7be-…). What makes this even worse is that Iran's strike on this was retaliation after Israel attacked their South Pars gas field which draws from the same natural gas reservoir, which is the world's largest by far (9,700 km² - about the size of Qatar itself). Heck, on the list of the 25 largest natural gas fields (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_n…) this single reservoir holds roughly 40% of their combined recoverable reserves - and is nearly 6 times bigger than the 2nd biggest field in the world. And, unlike many of the others on the list, it's only at 10% depletion (meaning 90% of the gas is still there). Which means that, probably for many years, a huge share of the gas from the world's largest reservoir simply won't be extractable, as infrastructure on both sides - Qatar's and Iran's - has now been blown up. From a global energy supply perspective, we're deep into worst-case scenario territory.

School scenes were sweet, change of education policy in wartime was interesting, easy to think about Plato and Rousseau while watching, also comparing their school to schools here, thoughts on love of country vs love of regime, the various character types, coming of age angle, etc etc

@millerman It was an honest question, would appreciate an answer.

Can recommend it
