Fascinated by people and ideas that make progress happen.

@JustinALoe @DavidDeutschOxf @Ringo496351 They never can until they can.

[Kirill Nauchigin @Nigi4uan]

@Porkchop_EXP Of course they are down to earth. They are literally from the Low Lands.

[Kirill Nauchigin @Nigi4uan]

Absolutely. The same can be said about feelings.

While we're at it, the true engine of capitalism is Caps Lock.

@reasonisfun I agree that pulling out inexplicit ideas is crucial. I just can't see how one can avoid that 'intellectual' part in doing so. Feelings by themselves can't tell us what the problem is or why it happens. We have to guess using our theories of how all these things are connected.

[Kirill Nauchigin @Nigi4uan]

@reasonisfun "you’re directly dialoging with what’s actually there"

But what's actually there is some conflict between ideas. How does merely unlocking new ways of feeling about it resolve anything? Unless the goal is to find the best way to feel about a problem that stays.

Today we remember the victims of the October 7 massacre – the killing of innocent Israeli people, the torture, mutilation, rape and kidnapping, parading of the dead, the wanton cruelty and the depraved celebrations of murder, the gleeful delight in brutality, the degeneracy of its perpetrators and supporters. It is a day that stands out for its unparalleled sadism and nihilism.
The scale of the killing of people of all sorts, all races, Jewish and Arab and others, is unequalled in a single day in modern times.
It was the greatest murder of Jewish people since the Holocaust.
Its cruelty and barbarism seem to belong to cruel times long ago – this was a lurch back to the raids and slaughters of the Mongols or the Huns - but it is unique too in its 21stcentury hi-tech modernity: it was filmed live by its perpetrators and other cameras and so unlike any other atrocity in all of human history, its details are beyond question.
It is the most documented butchery and sadism ever perpetrated – and therefore the reactions to it are simply the clearest and most unequalled test of humanity available to us, reactions that will be remembered in the future.
It was also a crime against peace: its effects were utterly destructive for Israelis but also for Palestinians and the innocent people across the whole region who perished in the wars it unleashed.
More than that, it was an atrocity against humanity itself - and the humanist values that mark all decent people, the values of liberal, free, kind societies and communities everywhere.
Its effects were utterly destructive for Israelis but also for the Palestinians and the rest of the region.
Today we remember those who died, those who were wounded, those who were kidnapped, tortured, raped and killed in the tunnels of Gaza, those who lost friends and compatriots.
It was a crime of annihilation to launch the liquidation of an entire people and nation, to kill and torture Israelis and Jews.
Am Yisrael Chai.

@PaulRRobichaud And most of the time it's not said outright, only implied, which somehow feels even more insulting. And sadder, too: whoever is trying to get that across has almost certainly talked themselves into it first.

I just fixed my dishwasher with the help of ChatGPT. A trivial task. I had been about to order a new one. So this software has increased the country's real wealth yet decreased the measured GDP. The main economic indicator is structurally incapable of registering the thing that actually makes people better off, namely the growth of knowledge

[Kirill Nauchigin @Nigi4uan]

To me, he is extremely versatile: he can spend pages probing ideas microscopically (true to his approach), and he can also take an ancient problem and just say, "Here, I've solved it. It goes like this: A, B, C" in a couple of paragraphs. Beautiful!

Plus engaging examples that make you get it once and for all ("My experiment is to ask you to observe, here and now. I hope you are all cooperating and observing!")

Plus memorable metaphors (like bees and honey vs. people and knowledge).

Plus, very, very importantly, elegant mockery of those who deserve it (Adorno, Habermas, etc.)

[Kirill Nauchigin @Nigi4uan]

@dela3499 @tomhyde_ @Podge_G I think "While differing widely in the various little bits we know, in our infinite ignorance we are all equal" is as beautiful as it gets. (Whether it's a motto or not)

@DavidDeutschOxf @ItaiYanai Even if by "achievement" she meant finding yourself in a position to keep error correction from being throttled, again and again and again...?

@Math_files How easily 'evidence' can point in absolutely the wrong direction when not in the context of good explanation.

Brilliant demonstration of how incoherent "a Hollywood moral vision of the world" is.
