The brighter STEM people understand that studying science does not automatically turn out intellectuals. Intellectualism requires a broader understanding of the world. However, there's a large midwit layer of STEM narcissists who lack the humility that could drive them to investigate what they don't understand. Placed in positions of influence, these people are quite dangerous.

unlearn shame. all forms of shame: unemployment, illness, vulnerability, longing, desire, errors, failures. you do not need to feel ashamed of what you are experiencing or living. freedom and shame cannot coexist.

one thing nobody prepares you for early on in life is how almost all the forces that will change your direction and trajectory in your adult life will come from totally random meetings and opportunities that defy all planning and assumptions

Maturing is realizing that approaching life from a place of skepticism and cynicism is immensely boring and is a hell you deliberately cast upon yourself. This is why i tell people faith is probably the highest form of intelligence and reality control

I’m becoming convinced that the only form of wealth that matters later in life is having adult children who enjoy spending time with you.

If you ask pro-capitalist people why a job like, say, sanitation work has such an abysmal wage even though the job is necessary, they’ll tell you that it is an unskilled occupation. We could contest that, but for the sake of argument, let’s concede. By this logic, value is derived from how much labor is required to accomplish something—in this case, the labor of learning the skill in addition to the labor of completing the task at hand. A doctor, then, would earn a much higher wage because of the labor required to obtain the necessary degrees to practice. Okay. But then, if you ask a pro-capitalist people again why the price of a pair of glasses, a mattress, or even a bottle of water is so expensive, despite these things being cheap and easy to make, they’ll tell you that value is not determined by the labor that goes into producing something, but by need and demand. This inconsistency reveals how neoliberal economics functions: the value of something means whatever is most convenient for the ruling class.

Most people are conditioned to expect that all known problems already have canonical solutions, that these solutions are the best that can be achieved, and that attempting to reinvent them would be a pointless, quixotic effort.

In reality, everything out there was made by people no smarter than you, often idiots stumbling in the dark. Not only can new solutions be found, but entirely new paradigms are absolutely possible, including ones that completely bypass the current tech tree.

This is Samuel Henderson, a young birder who's gone viral for his incredibly accurate bird call imitations.
His ability to recreate the sounds of different bird species is truly impressive.

Before vibe coding became a thing, programming was already evolving in that direction. It already increasingly consisted of installing and configuring stuff other people wrote, without reading the source.
