Instead of choosing one side and getting a partial view, how do we integrate different perspectives and gain a bigger view? That's the inspiration behind my series — Faces of X. 6 videos starring @Liv_Boeree on AI, @TheOmniLiberal on free speech, @BuckAngel on gender, & more👇👇

AMEN. Some ideas:

▫️Boost content with similar responses from ideologically-opposed groups

▫️Boost content with Likes by people who usually don't like the same thing

▫️Boost content from people we follow who are outside our social graph

@karpathy @kuroke01 @gallabytes We need a complete overhaul of the algorithm

[Stephanie Lepp @stephlepp]

@elonmusk @karpathy @kuroke01 @gallabytes AMEN. Some ideas:
▫️Upregulate content with Likes by people who usually don't like the same thing
▫️Upregulate content from people we follow who are outside our social graph
▫️Upregulate content with similar responses from generally opposing groups

@PierceLilholt We'll have to contend with the fact that civilization evolved to honor the spirit of the law and not necessarily or always the letter.

[Stephanie Lepp @stephlepp]

Europe didn't invent enlightenment. It pioneered one kind among many:
▫️Indigenous: relational wisdom
▫️Vedanta: non-duality
▫️Buddhism: contemplative awakening
▫️Confucianism: moral cultivation
▫️Europe: reason, science, & rights

One human race. Many ways of waking up 💫💫💫

"Israel" doesn't mean to obey God.

It means to wrestle with God.
To argue. To question. To challenge.

New SuperDebate episode with @stephlepp and John Hines: how Judaism turned disagreement into a sacred practice, and how it runs straight through to modern democracy.

Instead of directing kids to specific majors, I encourage them to cultivate *two* distinct passions. That gives them three options: passion #1, passion #2, and the likely under-explored intersection between them 🤓

[Karol Markowicz @karol]

What fields or majors are people suggesting to their kids in the age of AI? I get this question a lot from people and I know I've got a lot of successful people who follow me so am throwing it out to you all. Where are you directing your own kids?

[Stephanie Lepp @stephlepp]

@ai_sentience And...to what extent are we increasingly taking the reins? 😉

[Stephanie Lepp @stephlepp]

@karol I direct kids not necessarily to specific fields or majors, but to cultivate *two* distinct passions. That gives them three options: passion #1, passion #2, and the likely under-studied intersection between them 🤓

@mysteriouskat Expressing gratitude for my life.

Specifically, I say the Jewish morning prayer of "Moda Ani" — which thanks G🤍d for the gift of another day as the very first act of consciousness.

[Stephanie Lepp @stephlepp]

It may feel like there's a tension between gratitude for what we have vs. desire for more. To me, it's a matter of sequence: "thank you" before "more please."

First, honor what's here. Precisely from there, ask for more 🙏🙏

@Maze_s_Center @jubileemedia @willmacaskill AMEN. I'm planning pitch Jubilee on an Anti-Debate once I have a few more examples in the playlist.... 😎

[Stephanie Lepp @stephlepp]

WHOA. I just saw this sign in SF on the way to a conference about how to build pro-human AI.

Life cycle of the cherry.
From blossoming to withering, life comes full circle.

[Stephanie Lepp @stephlepp]

AMEN. We'd be well-served to consider the content we consume in terms of a healthy diet 😋

[Wholesome Side of 𝕏 @itsme_urstruly]

I love people who are intellectually omnivorous.

The kind who can discuss folklore, black holes, bird migration, poetry, and grocery store pricing in a single conversation without getting lost.

I'm a producer and storyteller, devoted to expanding hearts and minds.

Here's a recent example: https://t.co/j71tAj13Zr

[Stephanie Lepp @stephlepp]

Masculine and feminine are two overlapping bell curves. The Right is guilty of forcing everyone into "normal" stereotypes, while the Left is guilty of collapsing two curves into one. A wiser path honors the difference between the curves, while making full room for outliers.

[Stephanie Lepp @stephlepp]

Much of the AI debate devolves into accel vs. decel, instead of asking a mission-critical question: how do we build AI in a way that ensures it's pro-human?

Thank you for exploring that essential question: @FLI_org, @AnthonyNAguirre, & @Emilia_Javorsky: https://t.co/PMYiYODSnj💫

[Stephanie Lepp @stephlepp]

@time2buildnow @ChrisWillx Aw thank you, Nick. I'm the quintessential tortured artist-mother — the perfect balance doesn't seem to exist at this stage of my kids' lives 🙃

But yes, I welcome your journal prompts!
