The value of handwriting is now that it helps you use your brain in school. Doesn't seem worthless to me.

This is insane. I can’t even read my own handwriting, because you don’t actually need to write things down anywhere in life. People would have to learn an entirely new skill that is worthless.

「時のオカリナ」で思い出すのは、その後「ムジュラの仮面」を担当することになった時の大きなプレッシャー。名作の続編だからこそ、同じことを繰り返すわけにはいかない。とにかく「時のオカリナ」にはない異質さや不気味さ、新しさを必死に考えてた。

After probably 30 of these, I can tell you that it hasn't ever worked. What works for me is getting up at a consistent time no matter when I sleep, and taking naps if it was too little sleep at night

While it is true that constancy of the speed of light is an axiom in Special Relativity, it is a thorough misunderstanding of how physics works to contend that physicists believe it BECAUSE it is structurally an axiom in the theory. Physicists believe it because it corresponds to the way nature is observed to behave. We don't dismiss alternative theories because they would break all our theoretical structures (although they do that), but because they almost always immediately fall into contradiction with measurements. We have looked really hard for violations of Lorentz invariance, and the experimental bounds are brutal. If it's there, it is extraordinarily tiny. It is also a misunderstanding to contend that physicists are unwilling to consider alternatives. There are lots of papers on variable speed of light theories, and even some cosmological observations supporting time-dependence of the fine structure constant. I have personally written multiple papers on superluminal aethers that allow FTL signal propagation without violation of relativity. The papers are out there, but knowing that requires actual work, whereas portraying physicists as dogmatic, closed-minded sheeple on social media is free.

Fun video. I'll just add a few points: 1) When it turns out that hidden variable theories are (obviously) correct, a whole bunch of self-educated crackpots will be vindicated, but few will care. 1.5) (and the "hidden variables are impossible because muh math!" argument will be

In the 2008-09 GFC, about 30 million Americans lost their homes. The guy on the left ignored Soros, Krugman, and Stiglitz's more progressive advice and followed Larry Summers's recommendation to just save the bankers and let the mortgage holders drown. That's more or less how.

If there was a real opposition party they would entreaty their base to join them in doing whatever it took, bodies on the line, to wrest power away from this fucking maniac before he drops a nuke on Iran or something similar. The MEPs in the 2024 South Korean coup attempt showed this can be done even in bourgeois states but we have zero organized opposition in this country.
