The Polymath

Take notes folks. We are living in a moment of history that will be talked about and dissected for hundreds of years. I can’t promise it will end well but I can promise it will end someday. The only constant is change. We won’t be the same but we can hope to be better.

Appreciate you and your families good health for this is soon to be a scarcity unknown to the majority of those alive today.

The world we live in is changing. Change isn’t the problem. The speed of said change is. It’s analogous to the famous euphemism that falling doesn’t kill you but rather the sudden stop. In this instance it’s the breakneck speed in which me are being ripped apart at.

Hope is a powerful drug. Unfortunately, I’m still unsure whether it’s an hallucinogen or a remedy.

Hedonism went from an alternative to a necessity. The cesspool that is the information landscape has made it imperative that you prioritize and discern what brings you a moment of peace and happiness.

Go read Ezekiel 23:20 You’re welcome and/or I’m sorry

Society is entering into a whole new phase driven by its own sheer size. Anthropic values are about to be tested in ways never before imagined. Tragedy of the commons seems to be playing out in real time before our very eyes. The homogeny of a collective consciousness is waning.

What do you think coolio meant when he said “Nothin from nothin leaves nothin If you want to have something, you better stop frontin”

Vaccines work. Good night and good luck.

Reading literature is a collaboration between the author and the reader. Both must bring something to the experience. The author brings the material and the reader brings themselves and together they work together to build a memorable event.

We are truly kids at heart.

This is 80% of all philosophy.

The “daddy robot” episode of Bluey is an allegory on the alignment problem in AI and is just an animated version of the paperclip maximizer thought experiment ran to its logical conclusion.

Welcome back to everyone’s favorite game! Cephalopod or dragon fruit!?

I know that what I am asking is impossible. But in our time, as in every time, the impossible is the least that one can demand and one is, after all, emboldened by the spectacle of human history.

Social media bots but for good.

When do we go from litigation to something a little more physical and substantial?

I think about her everyday.

All this is happening in the richest and freest country in the world and in the middle of the twentieth century. The subtle and deadly change of heart that might occur in you would be involved with the realization that a civilization is not destroyed by wicked people but only that they be spineless.

This is what happens when you don’t teach deductive reasoning in school.

Genesis 9:20-27 should be enough to make anyone a none believer. Dogmatic religious belief is a cult.

Utilitarianism is the new stoicism.

“We cannot be free until they are free”

Two income household used to be an option now it’s an obligation.

Adam Smith THE FATHER OF CAPITALISM agreed you should tax wealth inheritance. Read that again.

Theory: Put an expiration date on all currency. Promotes a healthy spending economy And prohibits hoarding of money

The biggest mistake society ever made was using dogma to solve problems.

It’s gonna get worse before it gets better.

This book is about to be very prevalent and widespread in the public discourse. Mind you it was written in 2010….. #booksky

My spine may be broken from the ravages of time but its spine is unbroken and firm. There may be smudges on my soul but not on these pages.

I mean….

Dan Carlin dropping the first common sense episode in YEARS just made my heart skip a beat.

Not too shabby if I do say so myself.

Measured and cut. Three guesses what it’s going to be.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Neil deGrasse Tyson is an important science communicator and is excellent at fostering interest in science. I’ll take anything I can get when it comes to cultivating passion in science. But… Goddamn if that man doesn’t love the sound of his own voice!

You can never have enough good news.
