Holop What exactly are we “reflecting” on in that puddle from Lincoln to Casablanca? On Junteenth… And Im no artsy kinda person so what color u add to blue to make green? But then yr society-o-spectacle approach is to make it about yr corruption and/or incompetence?

Ppl be stressin bout random numbers these days like 1986 or 68 to 74 Here’s some you shoulda been waaaay more worried about Unit 8200 Squad 47 Unit 731 Camp 14 Detachment 201 Unit 42 Task Force 121 Vault 7 Threat 29 Don’t know what these mean I searched them all n got 0 hits but they snd scary!!

People who do Virtual invasion of privacy arent just ick they are actual criminals That goes for Physically following Use of interceptor devices Stealing biometrics Photographing/recording within a private residence But y’all already knew that ;)

I love how I get accused of being a know-it-all for talking about science and history and health but people who prattle on about sports stats and players and dynasties and strategies are social butterflies. :/ Sports is a literal empire built on ideal chatter

One Day on Earth is equivalent to: 2-100ths of a day on Mercury (or what feels like 40mins on Earth) 4-1000ths of a day on Venus (6mins on Earth) 9-10ths of a day on Mars (23hr on Earth) 2.5days on Jupiter 2days + 4hrs on Saturn 1.4days on Uranus 1.5days on Neptune It’s all relative Never Stop

Every1 got a SCOTUS idea, this mine: expansion + randomization Add 18 more justices, 2 are chiefs All 3 chiefs plus 4 random choose entire docket prior to season Eliminate shadow dock and one court is open to hearing them as they come up (1chief+ 8rando) Other 2 courts are 1C+8rando each sesh

There’s a new spectrum of generational angst, over 40 doesn’t cut it anymore Gen Alpha/beta: Don't trust anyone > 20 Gen Z/Millennial: Don’t trust anyone > 40 Gen X: Don’t trust anyone > 60 Boomers: Don’t trust anyone < 60 And we wonder why solidarity is nearly non-existent today…

Despite the fashionability of anti-AI rhetoric, the reality is that construction of new data centers is essentially the 21st century (Virtual Age) version of the Interstate Highway construction project in the last one.

“The West” is such a weird concept. You can only be west in relation to something, an other. But the line blurry. Is Türkiye the West? If not, is Morroco? Which is south of Spain. The “Middle East” implies you are only halfway there! Meanwhile guess what, China is west of the US. Its a globe ppl!!

Don’t see ppl talkin bout this: #Gorillaz 10th Album, 25 yrs on, reached The Mountain-top Has lyrics like “if u dont stop now, it will never end”, “the end is the beginning”, & “no automation” Damon <3 is 50s, posh + class of the highest Indie Order, so wont come out n say it Is this the last 1?

This ones gonna be dark… Some may have trouble understanding “Epstein Victim” when they hear “russian girls” This movie scratches at the very messy stories behind them letterboxd.com/film/lilya-4... Reality is almost always darker tho And why the victims coming out earned those butterfly pins

In Theory, theory and practice are the same In Practice, they are different Einstein never said this, I should know I was there. I did say it though, so please just quote @virtualtheorist whenever you repeat this in the future.

RIP Jurgen Habermas, OG neo-pragmatists, he was basically one of the last In an age of misinfo, disinfo, and memes, this is the map through the maze Here he is speaking in 2011 at the Berkley Center (Georgetown) about myth, religion, and nationalism hmmmmm vimeo.com/31092733

Ppl talkin bout WWIII, waaay off Goes like this: WWI (Great War) - Bandleader assassinated, EU cooked WWII - Origin of Godwins Law WWIII (Cold War) - entire planet picked a side (version 2.0 in Ukraine today) WWIV (GWOT) - Coalition of the Willing So next is WWV, always worst in franchise btw

In the s1e1 Pluribus, the scientist says “…mark 3, 36…”. This is thought to be a bible verse but alas, it stops at verse 35. Clearly, this is that line, taken to an extreme…. Maybe Vince is saying, lets meet in the middle On 1 side of it is the 12 apostles! On the other is “A House Divided…”

Ooof talk about a misanthropic agenda Here is the thing, AI is not inevitable, it was inevitable when #Thanos was a thing Now it is reality It’s not a ? of IF it will be in the wilderness of mirrors, but how It appears that it will turn it into a kaleidoscope of them, betta get your #Dramamine

It’s a Law of Nature What Goes Up Must Come Down Loaded Dice Useless Device Troubled Mice Infected Lice Feigning Nice Cannot Suffice Been Told Twice Real Injustice Dangerous Precipice Everything Looks Perfect From Such Great Heights

The era of Reality v Fantasy dichotomy is sadly over. Things have gotten a bit more complicated. You are either in a Fantastic Realasy or a Realistic Fantality. Take your pick, I prefer the latter myself. It’s the difference between Living the Dream and Dreaming the Life (NOT Respective, btw)

Tocqueville wrote “In revolutions… genuine madmen, have played a very considerable political part. One thing is certain… a condition of semi-madness is not unbecoming… and often even leads to success.” If John McLaughlin had him on his show today, wonder what he’d say to that

This isnt necessarily original but just take a moment to see the golden rule is built on a huge fallacy? If you treat others the way YOU want to be treated, NO ONE will be treated how THEY want to be! I think the assumption is “just treat everyone good” but how about S-M?!? It’s not even possible!
