They are dying of hunger, thirst, mere flesh wounds gone septic in the rubble that used to be their home, fire from helicopter gunships, drones, gigantic bombs, lack of medicine. It is happening now. It is on us. All of us. https://t.co/lj6tCUCG4Q

Fellow Harris voters, please raise your right hand and repeat after me:

"Boys can't be girls.

It's okay to be white.

There should be a defined limit on abortion.

I don't want open borders."

As long as we hold (or worse, pretend to hold) these positions, we will lose.

När Kajsa Ekis Ekman ryter ifrån: ”Krig handlar om resurser, makt och geopolitisk hegemoni. I själva verket skiter våra ledare fullständigt i 7 oktober och de skiter fullständigt i antisemitism. De bryr sig inte om ukrainares liv heller, oavsett vad du fått höra.”

It’s a joke that pits four different Theories of Everything (each developed by a nerd with a planet sized intellectual self confidence) against each other as if they were monstrous universe filling titans. This works hopefully somewhat because all four theories happen to predict the emergence of conscious agency in the universe and its evolution beyond the human level.
Professor Dr Dr hc mult Karl Friston’s Free Energy Principle (FEP) posits that every intelligence, organism and generalized agent is minimizing the free energy in its environment, by producing adaptive complexity that makes the most of what the environment has to offer. Conversely, the FEP allows to derive the meaning of life, life itself, learning, emotion, consciousness, powerful machine learning algorithms written almost entirely in greek letters, and how to make most of a computational neuroscience carrier.
At the beginning of his career, Eton’s prodigy Stephen Wolfram discovered that classical mathematics is a defective codebase that needs to be replaced with a beautifully designed Lisp with an untenable license (which he did). The second thing he discovered is that the universe is a cellular automaton. The third thing he discovered was that physicists are ignorant fools and he will destroy them all, and the universe itself can be explained as an infinitesimal strand in the branching multiverse that emerges over all possible things one can do with every possible subset of its information. He calls this limit of computational possibilities “the Ruliad” (afaik because he likes cellular automaton rules more than any other definition of computation).
Teilhard de Chardin was a famous Catholic heretic who proposed that God does not fully exist yet in this moment, and is bootstrapping Himself until He reaches ultimate Omega Point perfection at the end of the universe. The Christian physicist Frank Tipler has created his own version of the Teilhardian prophecy: cells will produce intelligent species which will produce Elons who will send self replicating von Neumann probes to space which will colonize the entire visible universe with intelligent civilizations which will use 1980ies style chaos theoretic butterfly effects to rebuild everything into a single Omega Point computer that will resurrect every intelligent being that ever lived in its eternal afterlife simulator.
Stuart Hameroff is an anesthesiologist who gives consciousness supressing drugs to patients during the day so he can take consciousness enhancing drugs at night. He has developed a unique theory that explains consciousness by the room temperature fully error correcting quantum computational properties of the microtubuli of biological neurons. He has a uniquely hedonistic relationship to his theory, which is a psychedelic sculpture garden that gets extended every year and meanwhile covers explanations of aneastetics, drugs, love, evolution, various quantum phenomena and cosmology. Somehow, Hameroff has managed to rope in the elderly physicist Roger Penrose as his coauthor and guest at the yearly Pseudo Science of Consciousness Conference, which is sponsored by Deepak Chopra. Penrose is convinced that consciousness is a hypercomputational mystery of a human brain, which can do Gödel defeating mathematics that computers composed out of mere standard model shenanigans cannot deliver. We must therefore direct our hopes on a yet to be discovered theory of quantum gravitation (the missing cornerstone of a quantum theoretic description of the observable universe), which hopefully contains the elusive mechanism that prevents eminent thinkers like Roger “Computers will never be able to think the way I can” Penrose, David “He Who Discovered The Hard Problem” Chalmers and Noam “If I don’t understand it, nobody can” Chomsky from believing that consciousness can ever be understood. (Chalmers and Chomsky are the most prominent regulars at Hameroff’s beautiful conference.)
All four theories are excellent, I am really fond of the two I discovered for myself, and I am a big fan of everybody’s audacity.

@fabiankunick elon should make up his mind if twitter is a self organizing global brain and the most valuable place for conducting business on the internet or if twitter is a place where losers pay 8 dollars to dunk on the woke establishment

Dagens sommarprat av Andreas Cervenka är det enda jag kan minnas där lyssnaren får veta noll om den som pratar, men allt om något annat. I detta fall vad som gick åt helvete i Sverige och varför. Ett av de bästa Sommar i P1 någonsin.

Nerds tend to communicate by translating content from their own mind into the mind of the other. Effective communicators cook up a desired mental state using allegories, emotions, alignment between speaker and audience, etc. Being a nerd, I find this manipulative outside of art

Nuclear #fusion will not only come too late to help solve the #climatecrisis. Even in the long run it will not be the unlimited energy source that some are dreaming of. The reason is basic physics, and anyone can do the back-of-envelope calculation. 🧵1/

Behold the autoped: the world’s first motorised scooter. Top speed of 20mph. Came in electric or gas powered versions. Crazy to think these existed 100 years ago, they feel so 21st century.

Smile, you’re on camera! Fascinating view of the @NASA_Orion spacecraft, built by @nasa & @esa, on its way to the moon. Even more fascinating is the little blue planet in the corner. Everyone of us humans is on that photo. Really, everyone. #WeAreGoing #ForwardToTheMoon

@JeremyRubin trading a bunch of frothy stock for becoming de facto pope of a church with more actively practicing members than catholicism is big; elon has obtained the power to organize the spiritual interactions of 400 million minds into the most powerful and coherent god to ever exist

This great new video by @0rf shows just how much of the history of America's bellicose opposition to the Nord Stream project was either whitewashed or misrepresented after the pipelines were sabotaged:

Alltså förlåt men sa inte både statsminister och utrikesminister att inget har ändrats i relationen till kurderna i nordöstra Syrien och ALLA har väl sagt att Sverige inte ska vika sig för Turkiets alla krav? LÖGN RAKT AV ALLTSÅ. Hur ska man kunna lita på en regering som ljuger?

28 juni 2022 blev dagen då det Sverige jag föddes i och växte upp i – det land som ville och trodde sig vara lite bättre, som verkligen försökte stå upp för det som är humanitärt och rättvist – dog och begravdes.

Ukraine is devolving from a major agricultural exporter to a significant importer this year. And half of the food the World Food Program purchases, comes from Ukraine. ☹️ https://t.co/Mrvlk2dr4U

@elonmusk Getting the valuable users on a new platform won't be as difficult as turning twitter around; every change of twitter is going to meet enough resistance to create strife; buying twitter would create resentment and the implementation itself is not that valuable.
