Reality is that which, when you look closer at it, rewards you with more detail

@Malcolm_Ocean The sky was clear in Indiana, but as far as I could tell only Venus and Jupiter were visible during totality (Mercury is probably too dim to see without assistance)

I was a little distracted though

@JordanHarbinger @cduhigg Great interview – I especially appreciated the moment where Jordan asked to connect the dots on a claim that wasn’t making sense to him, rather than letting it go unexamined

It helps the listener understand the material and it’s also setting an example of good communication

@GretchenMarina @xriskology @NathanpmYoung @catherineols here's my ~$1k to the fundraiser

@vgr @trobuling I always see it as a condescending pat on the head, at first

[Mike Plotz (59/100 morning walks) @hyponymous]

@LJS527 @Noahpinion Which is a risky position to be in when low- to mid-tier EVs start to become mainstream

Not an exact analogy, but compare the saga of low-end hard drive manufacturers eating the high end’s lunch over and over again

@selentelechia “semi-coherent plots”

@tasshinfogleman a twiptic 😆

[Mike Plotz (59/100 morning walks) @hyponymous]

@jackinlondon @flawedaxioms @yashkaf @Aella_Girl totally agree!

[Mike Plotz (59/100 morning walks) @hyponymous]

@flawedaxioms @yashkaf @Aella_Girl my intention is not to be condescending, and I apologize if I come across that way

thought experiments are valuable! I’ve certainly gotten a lot out of them

and it’s also true that abstraction inappropriately applied is common and leads to bad outcomes

[Mike Plotz (59/100 morning walks) @hyponymous]

@flawedaxioms @yashkaf @Aella_Girl yes, essentially – treating unrealistic hypotheticals as real is, for most people, unproductive

aside, but worth noting also that you can take the OP literally and still ask "where did the money come from?" – which might impact the moral calculus

[Mike Plotz (59/100 morning walks) @hyponymous]

@flawedaxioms @yashkaf @Aella_Girl yeah I think the difference is in the capacity to fully accept the (implied, here) hypothetical that there are no externalities, that you fully understand the situation, etc

and also the propensity to interpret real-world situations as if they were clear-cut hypotheticals

[Mike Plotz (59/100 morning walks) @hyponymous]

we call it "follow the leader" not "lead the followers"

@BecomingCritter til!

[Mike Plotz (59/100 morning walks) @hyponymous]

@BecomingCritter … no?

Ability to sit still & not fidget while paying attention / getting work done is a costly fitness signal

[Mike Plotz (59/100 morning walks) @hyponymous]

@Malcolm_Ocean my sister and I would use “amn’t I” as kids instead of “aren’t I” (probably still would, though I don’t have much occasion to)

not sure if we picked it up from somewhere or made it up
