We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect; we apprehend it just as much by feeling.

Therefore, the judgment of the intellect is, at best, only the half of truth, and must, if it be honest, also come to an understanding of its inadequacy.

@emollick I’m an AP English Language teacher. Using College Board material, I’ve turned Claude into the best AP tutor I’ve ever worked with.

My students can’t wait to see their scores (which I *don’t* use as grades) and their feedback . . . which they get in 1 day instead of 3 weeks 🤯

@sighswoon @readwise save

[hart the phoenix @puheenix]

the most grating, useless (directionally correct) piece of advice i ever got was "get out of your head"

throughout my 20s it was the most common feedback i got & always made my blood boil

how i got out of my head, and why "get out of your head" is a worthless string of words 🧵

@vividvoid I’ve tried to get off my meds (esp. benzos) a few times, but I can never get past the ensuing insomnia for weeks in a row. I just cave in and go right back on 🤷‍♂️

[Matt Adams @mattincolo]

@vividvoid @Yousra_Fettach Haha gotcha that’s awesome: thank you 🙏

[Matt Adams @mattincolo]

@vividvoid @Yousra_Fettach I love this phrase and think I know where you’re going with it: could you explain tho? I’ve been in AA for years, but it’s not a perfect program, and sometimes I’d just like to meditate more

Non-dual is great, but why was I not told! 🤯: “The liberation of mind by loving-kindness surpasses them…” (B.u.d.d.h.a.; thx 2 Bhikkhu Bodhi.) I’ve got a new practice thank God 🙏. 100% non-dual practice = staleness-creep

[Matt Adams @mattincolo]

@vividvoid Oh sweet: I didn’t know you were in CO 👍🏼 And thank you for the compliment 🙏 So I get up to Boulder occasionally. I had to look up tpot 🧐: so is it a community of like-minded X folks who get together in person every so often? And thanks for returning the message btw!

@iamrobothead Are you just hoping every spin-off fits a traditional Star Wars template? I’m not trying to pick a fight: I just thought the show was pure, psychological genius. To each his own 🤷‍♂️

[jacob @jtimsuggs]

I had no clue how #TheAcolyte could end everything in around 45 minutes, but WOW did that finale exceed (my already high) expectations in every way.

This show has cemented itself as an integral part to the larger Star Wars story, and is nothing short of incredible. I LOVED IT!
