The good stuff I write is probably not unique. The unique stuff I write is probably not good. Oh well, so it goes!?

all the shrimp suffering reduced by effective altruists is being cancelled out by Shrimp Shredder Georg, a Blue Whale who lives in the Southern ocean & consumes over 40 million shrimp a day and digests very slowly due to a defect in his second stomach

Charging extra for pets seems totally legitimate — they impose an actual larger maintenance burden on the property.

When you have your third kid people joke about “going from man-to-man defense to zone.”

It’s a funny line, but it undersells the challenge.

The real issue is combinatorial growth:

You go from one sibling relationship (AB) to three (AB, AC, and BC) .

Which means that whereas once the causal arrow of sibling antagonism could point in either of two directions (AB or BA), it can suddenly point in any of six (AB, BA, AC, CA, BC, or CB).

What a weird, sad, fraudulent world we live in.

The mistakes of “woke 1” — people expressing very strongly held, very simplistic opinions about complicated issues based on peer pressure and superficial memes without bothering to learn anything about the topic at hand — just continue today on new subjects rather than policing.

@hecubian_devil I think the fundamental disconnect here is that you wants politics to solve man's search for meaning and I want politics to deliver a prosperous, safe, free society in which everyone can go find meaning in something other than politics.

Like honestly "it's going to take us several weeks to tell you who won the election" is failed state shit and should be much more stigmatized.

@jain_harshit You motherfuckers wouldn’t listen to me so I had to get claude involved

@CyborgPeds Also I had no med school or college debt (upper middle class East Asian American family) so I didn’t care about maximizing income. Most of my buddies with similar personalities as me went into radiology.

My wife is ophtho and overall we are a very fortunate and blessed family

Have one of the squares contain only a few pixels of the bicycle and make him fail the test whether he clicks on it or not.

@clairlemon Be careful — Plato is often a gateway to Foucault and other malign forces. Make sure you talk to your kids about the harms of continentalism.
