@xwanyex Morality as we know it is a subset of iterated game theoretic optimization for large group cohesion in non-eusocial organisms. Its real and emergent in the same way laminar flow of fluids is real and emergent from fundamental quantum reality. We feel it in our bones because we

My thoughts exactly
Taste is the last human aristocracy. Will define all the winners of the next 50 years Intelligence is useless. Plenty of smart people got oneshot by the algorithms long ago Most people will drown in the endless sea of synthetic perfectslop Because they're fine trading their

Unfinished sketch, but it's honest work
@WaitImCurious @DiscipleMmd @TalchionDalias @ZyMazza We can only begin to attempt to derive a morality/ethics from the ruliad if you constrain it to the slice where a specific kind of observer (beings like us) can exist. That being said, narrowing the scope this way allows us to attempt this for most compatible ontological

Thoughts after a month of fatherhood: 1. This is difficult but doable so far 2. This is the most meaningful and important thing I’ve done in my life 3. The fact that many good people today are dissuaded or guilted out of parenthood is a profound tragedy

to master anything you must become three people. the artist. you feel the thing. you develop taste. you notice what’s elegant, what’s ugly, what’s off. you care about form, intuition, and expression. without the artist, your work is correct but dead. the scientist. you break

heroes refuse the call if you seek out the call instead - go looking for a seemingly noble undertaking - you go on the anti-hero's journey you realize the facts on the ground are different from what you were sold and earn your own gritty hardboiled knowledge of good and evil

Beautiful. It's like a physics of intelligence
Deep learning mechanistic pathways, not just energy landscapes When chemists or biophysicists talk about a mechanism, they’re really asking: what is the most probable route a system takes as it moves from state A to state B? In statistical mechanics language, that’s the minimum

Everyone and their mother has something to say about space compute. But no one has comprehensively broken down the physics, energy, cooling, economics, and the real work involved. So I built a 1st principles model to show you guys myself. https://t.co/K6SGTgmIby

Serendipity is a thing of beauty huh? Imagine getting some special snowflake trying to apply practically the framework I've been trying to develop
@CubaSugarbush @gaulicsmith I'm saying the problem (boredom) comes from elsewhere. Consciousness can solve it but can also CONTRIBUTE to other problems (suffering)

@g_leech_ And before anyone asks, the next four are luck, divine favor, Chinese peptides, and sleep. After that it just goes in a loop between Chinese peptides and sleep forever.

I don't even have the energy to be mad about stuff like this anymore. We should just burn it all to the ground and start over. Oh they already tried? Mb then

More people should really do this. It's a shame the trend looks like it's towards the opposite. We are witnessing the lobotomization of the masses in real time as the act or thinking gets outsourced. Rip humanity. We had a good run 🕊️🙏
just spent two hours crafting a thought, only to realize I didn’t agree with it anymore. this is one of many reasons the act of writing is so important, and should never be outsourced. thinking hones your writing. writing hones your thinking.

Thanks for attending my TED talk
@cxgonzalez @moldbugchaser (Mad raving activated): It's an entangled manifold to physical space (3D+time) called "concept space" with the bridge being conscious minds. Minds map patterns in P(hysical)-space to C-space and that forms the topography of it. Platonic ideals exist in this space, but so does

Good news...
Pro tip: if you're aiming to find a spouse for a 50+ year marriage, the most important form of intellectual compatibility is just having similar levels of general IQ, curiosity, & openness. Sure, compatibility with your current intellectual interests, values, & worldviews is
