[TERRIFYING QUESTIONS @TerrifyingQuest]

@PhilosopherJoeC 1)Hang on -- why would I try to end gay and lesbian sex? I think they're great. 2)I think everybody, straight and gay, has a desire for intimacy. Men want to be intimate with men and with women. Not all intimacy is sexual.

[TERRIFYING QUESTIONS @TerrifyingQuest]

@davidcinema as much as I love the film, it is not Godzilla Minus One. Great great film, but it is much more focused on images than on dialogue. I dont know Japanese, so maybe the dialogue was pulling more of the weight of the film than I knew. But I think "mainly based" is an exaggeration.

They're making the extremely arrogant assumption that nobody owns more than 1 prop and also that they don't have their own holiday playlists going. What if I want to leave the animated ghost cloche running all the time without hearing the same 30 second loop? what then??

@vjoshuaadams does he think that when we write x squared plus y squared equals k, and when we draw a circle on the Cartesian plane that plots these co-ordinates, we are experiencing the same truth in two different ways? Or are they slightly different because one has an image?

@robinhanson this is itself an *extremely* self-flattering view

[TERRIFYING QUESTIONS @TerrifyingQuest]

@WystanTBS maybe Z,D, and M are popular b/c they're true, but just repeating them is insufficient to challenge deluded conventional modes of thought and behavior?

January 18th, 1913, is the birthday of American science fiction novelist Alfred Bester (The Stars My Destination), who once wrote: “Don't ask the world to stop moving because you have doubts.”
