Some lists of favorite things. They're works in progress, perhaps perpetually so. I update these periodically.

Math is daunting.

AHHHHHH

[C. Liu (柳聿行) @snorlord2]

I don't have any potential.

This topic of procrastination is very popular on my timeline. I must have liked a random post somewhere about procrastination.

[GDess @gdess]

as some wise person on Twitter once said, via Helen DeWitt:
"procrastination is how you preserve the fantasy of your potential"

Most of us are probably going to become 'useless' given the power of AI and automation and robots. Sometimes I wonder what's wrong with this world that we don't have any sort of societal dialogue about what we're going to do about this. Maybe it's still early for dialogue? Instead there are only some stray conversations on the Internet. This lack of the elites preparing us for the transition makes me wonder if we will simply get Morlockized.

I don't think this will happen. This kind of data is useful to powerful people for things like blackmail. Why would they bother making it available to the public and diluting their power?

[Stephen Stone - PhD Tricknologist @Stephen19718352]

No one likes to think about this, but sometime in the next 10 or so years, an event will happen wherein every single thing you've ever done digitally (search histories, content you've watched, photos you've taken, audio thats been clandestinely saved on your phone) will be public and searchable.

[C. Liu (柳聿行) @snorlord2]

Sometimes we ask someone how they feel on a numerical scale, or we might ask them to choose a specific emotion word. I guess in this era we also have the option of emojis or cat pictures to express ourselves (e.g. for the purposes of a mood journal).

What’s a polite way to tell someone, “I’m not discussing this with you because your entire understanding of the subject is built on so many interconnected misconceptions that correcting them would require uninstalling your current worldview and starting the tutorial from birth”?

[C. Liu (柳聿行) @snorlord2]

Search engines didn't necessarily solve the issue of the supposed intelligence gap(s) within the population. I don't know why people think LLMs will. They're designed to give facts, which search engines also do. The LLM won't teach you to think. People are always outsourcing their intelligence-related tasks instead of fostering their own mind.

And of you think people will use LLMs to learn to think, then you have to ask why people don't use current schools for that purpose either. They don't even want to go to school most of the time. Most of this is marketing. A pseudo-discourse.

[C. Liu (柳聿行) @snorlord2]

The world is harsh. Everything betrays us. For example, eating in an age of abundance leads to extreme gains in weight. One needs discipline to stay trim. It's like both pleasure or pain simply lead to pain in the end. Worse, everything deteriorates with time. Our brief trip through this life is basically a waking nightmare.

I guess it's a suitable system if life is really about the afterlife. And if we're meant to continue to be punished for original sin.

[C. Liu (柳聿行) @snorlord2]

I'm not really into Jane Austen's novels. I have about 4½ to go though, excluding her unfinished novels. I saw a comment the other day which reduced her writings to basically being about female gossip and marriage, and thus far it kind of gets at what I find dull about her writing. But to each their own. Planning on reading them all anyways.

[C. Liu (柳聿行) @snorlord2]

When people code to me, they end up on my blacklist in my head.

[C. Liu (柳聿行) @snorlord2]

Coding makes fishing easier.

[C. Liu (柳聿行) @snorlord2]

I view the current fad for overindulgence in poetic and semiotic coding as signs of low intelligence. It usually goes hand-in-hand with Leftist politics and Marxist misuse, by factual definition, of the term 'fascism.'

This reminds me that it seems that with anarcho-tyranny and incoherent fears of fascism that left-wing leaders will probably be able to take power by stirring up ressentiment (methinks Woke will return to power in 2028). People always believe what's on the Leftist tin nowadays.

In the next era, if Leftism hasn't died off there will simply be another similar misunderstanding for manipulating the populace once again. The myth of progress, of course, is historically one of the best tools for this purpose.

[C. Liu (柳聿行) @snorlord2]

Leftists historically don't seem to understand anything.

[C. Liu (柳聿行) @snorlord2]

I'm warming up to the theory of multiple intelligences by way of the concept of ecological rationality. For the most part though, intelligence testing and intelligence discourse, especially as viewed in pop psychology, are a major step backwards.

[C. Liu (柳聿行) @snorlord2]

Most people don't seem to have developed theories about what intelligence is.

[Stephen Stone - PhD Tricknologist @Stephen19718352]

I'm telling you, most people don't know how ANYTHING works. They grow up watching screens, they go to school which is really just training for following directions. They get a job that is really just data processing. They don't know anything about anything. They consume the lowest level of knowledge possible to do a thing and forget it. They are reduced to base desires, constrained by built in incentives. They are barely alive

[C. Liu (柳聿行) @snorlord2]

When it comes to one's favorite artists, it is often hard to select only one favorite work. Perhaps it's even futile in a way because a body of work with recurring themes can be filled with mutually enriching, cross-referenceable aspects. The ability to appreciate any single work in such a body then comes as much from comparing and contrasting as it does from each works' individual qualities. At least, I think it works something like this.

[Sippy @LeviathanGunha]

Why do horror movies always take place in modern times, why isn't there like prehistoric horror or Mesopotamian horror

[Wylfċen @wylfcen]

The word “yolk” literally means ‘little yellow one’ 🥺

[LindyMan @PaulSkallas]

There's a lot of sleep diversity. There's early risers, night owls and different types of light sleepers. This paper argues this developed because we could collectively provide a night watch without anyone organizing one.

Think of teenagers staying up late and older people waking early may have helped keep someone awake to detect danger throughout the night.
