Like alcohol hasn't been humanity's soma for millenia. At least now people who don't want to kill their livers won't have their life ruined by smoke a joint or eating some shrooms.

The more I learn about AI the more I realize our subconscious is probably what computer scientists call "hidden layers" which are constantly evaluating sensory data for patterns with which to create our consciousness. These pattern recognition outputs get really weird (think Google's deep dream) and that's probably what we see when we inspect and study our subconscious depths.

That anchor man was awesome. Kept putting the pressure on HIS OWN COWORKERS to not just take the cop's side of the story as gospel.

Your ex's mom would feed him a lot of salmon?

Allow systems (aka people) to grow at a healthy pace instead of forcing them to mature on your schedule, because it is detrimental to the overall health and well being otherwise.

Unfortunately because so many people grow up with different experiences and privileges, and we lump all people together in state institutions, ie school, it necessarily means you cant tailor curriculum to individual students, but instead have to act as though everyone is equal and has the same experience. So naturally many kids are forced to compete with those that have unfair advantages and therefore we inevitably end up forcing some percentage of kids to change/learn/mature faster than is natural, because, you know, we as a nation would rather spend money on war and dysfunctional subsidized corporations than educating people effectively.

Looks like another case for Dresden...

It actually was more a commentary on grind culture and charlatans like Gary V. if you felt attacked that wasn't my intention.

Burnt out millenials with debt still living with their parents being told they arent grinding hard enough from people who inherited generational wealth? Yeah i get that.

Bread and Circuses. We're literally playing through iterative archetypes that are thousands of years old. They just get more complex over time.

I think its interesting that the post people resonate with the most is the one you seem to be judging harshly.

And to the entire education system from early childhood on.

Propaganda is when you feel bad for a country that is being attacked by an overly aggressive psychopath and a nation of sycophants.

I don't mind being a student. What I do mind are idiots who think they should be my teacher.

I hate that when im myself people don't like me as much as other people being themselves, because apparently other people's selves are better than my self. So i am now myself when im alone, which creates toxic reinforced feedback loops from isolation, and whatever i think will get the best results when im with others. I tried being myself for years and got nothing but trouble from it. Maybe i am in a toxic area and people really do just suck, but we dont always get a choice where we live and I don't want to constantly be fighting with people over stupid shit that comes with "being yourself". Because at the end of the day, our selves are not perfect, they are selfish IDs.

So school isn't worth it.

Nu Cafe i believe

Central Rock Gym is a neat indoor rock climbing gym.
