@JosephJacks_ Interesting. Thanks. Is it possible for a body to have a speed of absolutely zero? Like if the planet, solar system, and galaxy you were in were stationary. No angular momentum, no movement whatsoever.

@ksdkjfd1 @wulfdavid36 @Meldougherty77 You conquered your fear. I think that's what JBP is ultimately trying to help us do

@dioscuri Isn’t knowing (or thinking) your not conscious akin to consciousness?

There’s a trope in fiction where there is a character who is extremely competent and dangerous, but is peaceful and just wants to mind his own business. It is a mistake to fuck with this guy.

But, just as Chekov’s gun must inevitably be fired, the guy who should not be fucked with must be fucked with. He must be forced to put his skills to work.

I can only think of one story where there is a guy who should not be fucked with and everyone has the good sense not to fuck with him, and it’s Tom Bombadil in “Lord of the Rings.”

Tom Bombadil is an incredible thing to have in the story, because his existence dwarfs the conflict and all the stakes.

The Ring is the most powerful magical object in the world… except for Tom Bombadil, to whom it is a trinket that he can’t be bothered to care about.

Sauron is an existential threat to everything and everyone, except for Tom Bombadil who could put the Dark Lord in the dirt before breakfast without breaking a sweat if he could be made to notice what is going on.

The epic scale of the story is a triviality to Tom Bombadil. No matter what malign force sweeps across the world, it would never be stupid enough to show up on Tom’s doorstep.

He’s just there, a monstrous leviathan with inconceivable power he never demonstrates, existing beyond the scope of everything else, sitting by the river, singing silly songs while the other characters go on heroic journeys he couldn’t even begin to care about.

Life is amazing:

-gyms exist
-Coke Zero exists
-hot girls outnumber even moderately put-together dudes 2000 to 1
-every food item in the world has been hunted and gathered for you (grocery stores)
-you and your wife can drink 4 bottles of wine then smash all night without a condom
-you and your friends can hit the gym then smoke a joint at a John Mayer concert
-you could be working 16 hour days in a coal mine in a third world country breaking your lower back for less than $1

There’s kids who live in wheelchairs. There’s kids born with disabilities. No Prom, no Shoulder Presses, no sleepovers with their best friends staying up until 2AM watching Interstellar.

And you’re not SMASHING the gym like a grateful SAVAGE!? Eating healthy 90% of the time, calling your friends for no reason, CRUSHING it in your career, asking for the promotion, asking out your crush making her your girlfriend then your wife!?

You’re spinning on a sphere in an infinite universe and the fact you’re alive is a 1 in 500 trillion MIRACLE. You’re so lucky it’s absurd and you have nothing to lose :)

I just spent the morning reading The Brothers K and thinking my own thoughts, then writing them down. LLMs have no idea how cooked they are. Nobody is ready for this.

@EmpiresPod Great list. I wish everyone read all of these. The world would be different.
