Imagine that European archeologists spent a decade resisting the use of genetics.
“Is it a sin to” <dumb pop culture thing> is always a stupid framing of a question.
“Is it a sin to” <dumb pop culture thing> is always a stupid framing of a question.
People say “politics” when they mean “ideology,” as when they complain about universities “putting politics before learning.” Political philosophy is worthy of study by a few and is almost the opposite of ideology.
Much Italian film is excellent. Even the commie stuff.
Write for a small number of friends. If others respond to your work –– excellent, but not to be expected.
“I understood the need to complete the principles of Nietzsche with those of Aristotle, the good old Apollonian Greek, a pupil of Plato, whom he respected as well as criticized. There is for me an obvious philosophical affinity between Aristotle and Nietzsche.” — Guillaume Faye

The conservative movement has been a net negative influence in America since the mid-1950’s. The liberal and progressive movements have been even worse.
It took three years of litigation for him to prove that his cancellation was based on lies.
“Nonintervention is antisemitism.”
“Realist” fiction constrains itself to the range of common bourgeois experience. Other forms of fiction (Speculative, Romantic, Pulp) explore experiences –– quite real –– outside that range.
Excellent, funny piece on why the normiecon is annoying, but mostly irrelevant. Towards an Understanding with Ned Flanders by Scott Locklin in @mansworldmag_ mansworldmag.online/towards-an-und…
Journalists love to call things “controversial,” “divisive,” or (my favorite) “scary.” These are idiot tropes.
The fact that some people are very worried about the danger of X is very weak evidence that X is actually dangerous. Even when –– perhaps especially when –– the people are “smart.”

You know we are entering an age of ignorance when so much learning has to come through secret pdf sharing and clandestine group chats instead of through the traditional channel of higher education, overrun with innumerable faults and obstacles.
"Is there measure on Earth? There is none." Hölderlin, "In lieblicher Bläue..." / "In lovely blue..." (Translated by R. Sieburth)
Once you start reading Plutarch it’s very hard to stop because you immediately recognize the greatness of the company you’re in, whether in their successes or their failures or especially both. Precisely that is the kind of education we lack today.
I love de Chirico. To me he portrays images out of reality, or beyond it. Or rather the absolute reality.
@StephenPiment I thought this was the most interesting chart in that paper:
Who wrote the best comparison of vector db providers? Would love a rundown of the pros and cons of @trychroma, @pinecone, @weaviate_io, @qdrant_engine, @milvusio, etc. Which ones are more "batteries included" vs not? Which are more opinionated? Which work best with which stacks?
The Democratic Party is the party of enemies; the Republican Party is the party of traitors (a word I do not use lightly). It is not that the latter is worse; relative evil matters not at all. What does matter is they both must be utterly destroyed, the sooner the better.
Many people are, in fact, terrible at eating (ie., obesity, eating disorders). Eating well is at the very least instinct + psychology + culture. The same extends to sex.
Sex is hard to get wrong. Like it’s hard to be bad at it. It’s one of our most basic natural things. It’s like if someone was bad at eating

@EstreyaGraf @StephenPiment @benlandautaylor It made me realize something that wasn't obvious to me: these things arised only when there was a need for them.

@Cernovich Mike, I strongly recommend reading the book, a breezy ~100 page novella you can finish in one sitting. I discuss it with my friend @tr_hudson here:
Outstanding episode on Jim Harrison’s Legends of the Fall with @tr_hudson and @L0m3z. Strong recommend.
@alexandrosM I’d wager this is the wrong analytic frame. It’s not about a generally consistent principle that holds across all game iterations; it’s about what moves make sense as the game unfolds, in the context of prior moves. You may bristle at that, but it doesn’t make the frame any…
Too much politics today; perhaps tomorrow we will do a space reading some Gottfried Benn or Ernst Bertram on Nietzsche
