@JohanOfMars @Erdayastronaut @stanton_jeffers …of a large swell of conspiracy minded listeners so why not take the opportunity to drop some good science on them while we’ve got their attention and leave the general public overall more informed than they were before. You can’t underestimate the reach of Rogan’s listenership

@JohanOfMars @Erdayastronaut @stanton_jeffers Yea well I guess they have their whole self identity wrapped up in the conspiracy narrative and in many cases making a living from it. But yea @Erdayastronaut makes a great point about this being an education opportunity. These nuts have managed to catch the attention….

A band of nematodes did jam,
In soil they rocked, not giving a damn.
With microscopic guitars,
Underground rock stars,
Their beats caused a soil-shaking clam.

@primatejames @Plinz Yea even in societies where there was an attempt at the redistribution of wealth to the extreme degree (i.e. communism) things stratified into the haves (party members) and have nots (regular citizens or the “proletariat”).

@pfitzart @icodeblockchain @Plinz I’ll trade you 5 of my electrons for 2 of your protons buddy. Also, know anyone supplying some good quality neutrons?

@Stussy I'm confused about why you seemingly have two different websites for selling in Australia? https://t.co/m5ZC0kQ5mW and https://t.co/2vsuayTXR1 ... Is one of them fake?

@Plinz By most metrics (apart from $), Oppenheimer is the better movie - no accounting for taste though!

@SamStratten As for getting people off their phone and engaging, when you all sit down together announce that you’d like to play a little game; “the first one to touch their phone is paying for the meal”.

@rpbartone_ @Plinz I think ‘evil’ is a subjective human concern. An AI may or may not have any direct concerns regarding what’s evil and would likely be more concerned with things like efficiency, which depending on its goals, we may be consider either good or evil.

@Mohzeela @cpheinrich @gdb About me? Sure.

No finite model can model itself? Then no turning completeness? No proofs? No logic?

@TreyRatcliff Ah yea, the perfect setting for an ancient cross-dimensional martial arts tournament.

[Fergal @fergtwit]

@Plinz @lexfridman Sounds like that might result in an interesting individual!

[Fergal @fergtwit]

@Plinz on your point on @lexfridman podcast about trauma in systems activating growth to work around contradictions; I'm wondering if tribal human culture knew this hence had intense initiation ceremonies for adulthood.

@kevinrose @TreyRatcliff There’s so much going on in this shot and the atmosphere and depth is incredible.
