Why speak to one another, when it is so simple to communicate?

[Documenting Saylor @saylordocs]

''If a perfectly moral man entered this world, he would be humiliated and impaled''

- Plato 400 years before Christ.

@FrailSkeleton @sever53590 @0x49fa98 Something like in “screwtape proposes a toast”— how the surest way to get a sinner to hell is to have him drift there

Monks discovered that they could change their body temperature because they had the experience of “forcing themselves to get/stay hard” which they later realized is a form of conscious control over vasoconstriction and vasodilation

[Plato's Stepchild @MattRob78281471]

Contra Aristotle's Materialism

"The soul has not its existence from being the 'form' of anything, but is an essence, not receiving its existence in consequence of its abode in a body."

- Plotinus, Enneads IV

In all seriousness much more than super persuasion, AI is going to act on humans the same way TLP said the oracle did. It gives you the cover of the Big Other to do what you were going to want to do anyway, or to enable to let you stop deciding; fickle self seeking is older, more ironclad, and more reliable than any flimsy cerebrocortexical rationalistic cognitive security system

La femme n’existe pas is a good gender theory imo

[Evil (Political) Scientist @knrd_z]

@RtrnSanity @DerekPederson3 Lacan was in no way a gender theorist, any more than Nietzsche was because he's sometimes cited by them; it's anachronistic

@zelinarxy @owenbroadcast introduced me to this via image, very interesting

Everyone needs to read Chapter 1 of Ratzinger’s “Introduction to Christianity” RIGHT NOW

What is latent reading?
We propose a new interpretability and interpretative practice of, first, creating models trained on a literary work and, second, inspecting their latent space internally and externally.

@owenbroadcast I have been enjoying Phantastes and the Brothers Grimm; the tonal differences between them are quite stark. There are no preliminaries to the magic in autocthonic folktales in Grimm as compared to Macdonald. A boy becomes a rosebush out of nowhere and that’s that

@pbprot @biglawbro My circumstances were pretty unique but happy to discuss any time 🫡

[Bruce the Wigwam King @uncuckedchukchi]

@pbprot @biglawbro People come to you for advice on how to use the new tools, rather than trying to put a stochastic process onto the Procrustean bed of “good model forms”

[Bruce the Wigwam King @uncuckedchukchi]

@pbprot @biglawbro Ime moving from big law to mid law gave me the kind of freedom to practice that I don’t think you get until you’re a partner. If you can find a place that doesn’t result in an enormous pay cut it’s essentially Shangri-La compared to the BL lifestyle/practice modality

[Bruce the Wigwam King @uncuckedchukchi]

One of the ways that Jung gets behind or above the thinkers that he analyzes is by showing how their conceptual distinctions go back into the thinkers themselves, that the splits they make are "within themselves" before they are without themselves. Think of angels and apes: the res cogitans and res extensa in Descartes is already implicit in the division between inner and outer. These divisions are what gives rise to the necessity of a coincidentia oppositorum, such that Platonism results in Nicolas of Cusa and the Renaissance gives rise the Chymical Wedding. Plato, Aristotle, Heraclitus, all attempting to make "form and matter kiss"

[Halam @parhypostates]

A henad is a self-subsistent participated unity that is uniquely causative of a certain rung in the procession of being. Each unparticipated [thing], because it is the primary member of its order, introduces a certain novelty to the articulation of reality,
