@Romy_Holland it makes them feel like they're closer to an inevitable change AND it lets them feel like their diagnosis of current problems is correct if it's some other stage then some problems might not be attributed to capitalism (this destroys their cognitive scaffolding)

why does everyone use the term “late stage capitalism” all the time? how do they know which stage it is? we might still be early.

@Aella_Girl I think what's compressed into a lot of people's version of innocence is the individual having control over things like the *timing* and *degree* to which they are exposed to the world

Aella@Aella_Girl·
it's weird that 'innocence' has such a positive valence. Not being innocent - being exposed to the world, knowing more, having experience - feels *good*. Are pro-innocence people those who feel like exposure to the world has been negative for them?

@misscrankee @EdmundGriffiths Yes. You can put a big dent in it with custom instructions which is cool, like his dialogue seems alien to me. However it still takes coaxing to get it to be critical

r/myboyfriendisAI apparently has 36k weekly visitors which is 10x more than r/mygirlfriendisAI. someone tweeted years ago that everyone was worried about AI girlfriends but they thought AI boyfriends would be even worse and i think they’ll end up being vindicated by history

@Aella_Girl Idk this feels like a vegan calibration thing but individual human mental capacity is only mildly related to what I think is morally salient

Men routinely overestimate the amount of childcare and housework they do. Women underestimate how much they do and overestimate how much their husbands do. One solution: dads should commit to doing 70% of the work and it’ll wind up closer to 50-50.
Darby Saxbe@darbysaxbe

My lab asked pregnant couples to discuss their plans for sharing infant care. After birth, we brought them back to the lab. We discovered that couples do not accurately predict their division of baby care, and parents fare better when dads do more.

so many people ive never met fulminate at me that i barely notice anymore but sometimes i wonder what's happened to them i think of the way my wife loves our children. did they ever have someone like that? how would their father regard what they've become?

@eigenrobot You’re so fucking stupid it’s incredible. Trump is the outlier cancer that befell us about 10 years ago. Not Obama. Pick up a fucking newspaper sometime you dumb fucking cunt — and hey, try to pick your knuckles up off the ground when you’re walking, too.

@Big_Kirbs @rpondiscio It’s a very simple premise of redistributing wealth. Would it materially change my life? No. But perhaps our deficit would be lower. Maybe teachers wouldn’t have to buy their own classroom supplies. Although that would depend on our govt not f’ing everything up

Yesterday I ordered an obscure book and a 20 pound bag of dog food on Amazon. Today it was delivered to my house in rural upstate New York. Remind me again why Jeff Bezos doesn’t deserve to be a billionaire?

@kautzmania Directness isn't necessarily a genuine truth signal, certainly not the most reliable indicator. that's the main thing imo Additionally things like: implications, plausible deniability, playfulness, indirect invitations, tests, politeness, asymmetries, felt vs. literal, lots more

confusing that so much high quality nihilistic media gets made. it's fundamentally empty and pointless but it requires a ton of motivation and a clear sense of purpose to actually create. like im baffled that anyone was able to produce Mad Men
