Guitarist tangled in a Popperian epistemology

@mamboitaliano__ You are regretting what members of a wealthy, successful culture do with their time.

There is no decay. There is a spectrum of ways people in a dynamic society are able to spend their time. Some build rockets. Some stand in queues.

Some whine on social media about it all.

THE (BIZARRE) VIEW.

Coming to America: The same social media ban that's been implemented elsewhere in the Anglosphere? @X Version

@FU_joehudson What if the inability to decide your next thought is indicative of your *creativity*—which is inherently unpredictable?

What if the self *is* creativity?

People just don’t get how all that wealth was created 🤦‍♂️

The market rewards you when you solve problems for many people.

It’s damn hard. Try it yourself: start a company, grow it, and have some skin in the game.

Just putting it out there.

If we liquidated Elon Musk as a financial entity we could each pocket $3,000. Just putting that out there. 3K. Not bad.

@christiandean_ @DavidDeutschOxf @JonHaidt Now we just need some kind of tracker so that if a child is still watching YouTube, the parents get fined. 🤦‍♂️

"Dad, why can't I watch the drumming and guitar videos on YouTube anymore?"

"Sorry, son. Keir Starmer is protecting your childhood"

My daughter had PE today.
They were given a choice: volleyball, basketball, “walk and talk”, and a few other things.

Me: “What did you choose?”
Her: “Walk and talk, obviously.”
Me: “And how was it?”
Her: “Horrible. We had to walk in a square. We weren’t allowed to change direction or make up games with a ball.”

So basically: they were allowed to choose fun, as long as no fun happened.

And now we’re told banning social media is about “giving children their childhood back.”

Maybe start by letting kids have fun — instead of adults deciding what fun is allowed to look like.

Lest they enjoy themselves. God forbid.

Succinctly: Mathematical truth is discovered by inventing knowledge about it.

Something I’ve often noticed is that I understand a problem better once I know its solution.

Problems are easy to dismiss, but after seeing a solution, it’s hard to deny there was a problem in the first place.

A good melody is objectively good in virtue of its structure.

@araseb_ No.

[Karl Popper Quotes @QuotePopper]

"Western civilization is, in spite of all the faults that can quite justifiably be found with it, the most free, the most just, the most humanitarian and the best of all those we have ever known throughout the history of mankind. It is the best because it has the greatest capacity for self-criticism, and so, for improvement."

—Karl Popper, In Search of a Better World.

Again, they claim that big corporations are evil. But are they? Did they create something redundant that people don’t need? This video just proved that they didn’t. Revenue skyrocketed not because they tricked everyone with that presentation but because they solved another problem for people. https://t.co/kbH6ixoDwD

Cashier Matches Rude Customers' Energy – Instant Karma at the Register

At a busy convenience store/gas station, one sharp cashier gives rude, demanding customers exactly what they dish out: crumpled money slid back, ripped bills rejected, short change counted out slowly, and zero bags for messy attitudes.

Customers get flustered and back down fast. Pure retail satisfaction.
