Getting into philosophy is the biggest mistake I have made in my life. Hopelessly separated me from the concrete at a time when I desperately needed to be more in touch with it. Kept me in the clouds for years while my real life rotted away. You should only touch that stuff if you’re already an old man, like heroin.

@girltummyfan @RichardHanania The question literally said "ideally"

Overlaying Wittgenstein with a kid lost in metaphysics. Awesome stuff.

@reef_bone You can avoid a lot of relationship related suffering by having firm standards and maintaining boundaries

explaining public transportation to a speedrunner: ok so imagine a framerule

@TheVegamon Why shouldn't we have authority or ownership of animals? It's okay to do with children and same with animals

>extremely successful person claiming low conscientiousness

My culture is not your costume.

[Richard Ngo @RichardMCNgo]

My greatest strength may well be my extreme inability to coerce myself into doing work I don’t find interesting.

At DeepMind I was meant to work on RLHF but mostly did philosophy about AGI risk.

At OpenAI my attention wandered so much that I wrote a whole book of short stories.

@chrislakin If they were really low in conscientiousness they wouldn't achieve "real" sucess either.

@reef_bone Love is high risk high reward, by forfeiting it you miss out on the experiences that most people derive their meaning from

@tautologer It’s no fun if you never subordinate your inclinations to Logic. Literally feels better than heroin

@reef_bone Beautiful prose

cell phone… self own… they have played us for absolute fools

@vgn_karma What do you mean by "make themselves masculine"

[kas @laternicity]

@waifuterf Because race dysphoria doesn't exist. If it did exist to the same degree gender dysphoria does, then maybe we would use racial identifiers in a similar way (e.g. calling a person born white who painted their skin black a black person).

[kas @laternicity]

@vitusss_ Also this makes no sense bc the rest of the people are living in the same world and are still not autistic

[kas @laternicity]

@justalexoki What about fiber

[kas @laternicity]

@veganfitnessric Just because veganism is correct doesn't mean you can make up whatever

[kas @laternicity]

I am stuck in a loop where I want to make connections to fix my social anxiety but the shame of people knowing how embarrassing my life is is making me withdraw more. On the other hand, if I don't make connections first it's unlikely to get better. Brutal.

@lumiagww The fix is not believing reassurance. That never works. You have to let the discomfort pass without asking for reassurance at all.
