Plato: art imitates the objects and events of ordinary life
Wilde: “life imitates art far more than art imitates life”

But we say that art can only come from life.

Blake: To cast off the idiot Questioner who is always questioning,
But never capable of answering; who sits with a sly grin
Silent plotting when to question, like a thief in a cave;
Who publishes doubt & calls it knowledge; whose Science is Despair

And they are overrepresented in online alt-health spaces (with the next significant group comprising teenagers using LLMs).

They promise eucrasia but are sick themselves.

Everyone is either neurotic and way off the mark, or disingenuous because it makes sales...

Friendly reminder that the majority of personalities on social media are Cluster B personality disorders

This is what makes them interesting to watch

Most people in real life aren’t like this

Well, 2014 for those culturally refined (read: chronically online)

— Žižek, on not obsessing with psychoanalyzing oneself all the time

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

Putting the fiscal impacts to one side, consider the monumental societal and social effects of one million young people having no immediate purpose or opportunity in their lives.

An entire generation has been failed.

This is why learning good decision-making at a young age is so important. People think your early 20s don't matter that much, but they shape the trajectory of your life in ways people underestimate. And certain decisions only get harder to walk back later in life. Even if you do eventually redeem your mistakes, it would be naive to think that they don't leave a mark.

Some day you will wake up inside the life you created. You need to make sure it's a good one.

If this world is confusing to you, then know that is by its inherent nature - for it fails to adequately capture the realm of perfectly real being, but still possesses sufficient traces of it to merely experience the world.

🔴 @AndyBurnhamGM on BBC today:

“I think Britain has been on the wrong path for 40 years.”

👍 It started with de-industrialisation, bus deregulation, and the privatisation of life’s essentials.

👏 We need to… get the basics back under public control so that people can afford their rent, their energy bills, etc.

🙌 He wants Labour to “change and once again [be] the party that people in this borough knew… I don’t blame anybody who has gone away and voted for other parties. I want them to regain their trust… I want Labour solidly to become a working class community.”

[UM_١٩٩٩ @UM_MCMXCIX]

Yes.

We were never taught PCOS is “just cysts” , so much of women’s health twitter is just lies

To come from a Sunni-Sufi Mashrab & then *nefariously* attack the Ashā’irah & Māturidīya, our scholars, & our books, is to misrepresent that Mashrab. The schools of Kalām are paramount. Our scholars/defenders, past & present, are sacred.

One may make tahqīq… lâkin, Edep Ya Hu.
