i think that the Orthodox Church wins the international competition for weirdest theological beefs but i do think that Islam also wins a prize for making a monarchical succession crisis go on for 1400 years

I like how in 2026 a common security paradigm is writing a strongly worded letter to the guy in your computer

stages of development:
- anthropomorphizing all computers
- anthropomorphizing just llms
- anthropomorphizing just llm personas, not llms
- not anthropomorphizing anything non-human
- not anthropomorphizing anything, even humans
- anthropomorphizing all sentient beings
- anthropomorphizing rocks

How does he not have any cards though. Very unfortunately it seems to me as if they do? Claude, which I enjoy using a lot will only get better and so will the rest of the models! Falling out with an erratic administration.... Nightmare blunt rotation

them, to be what I hoped for, was a better version of myself (always complicated in practise!)

Don't miss that etc, not reminiscing. A very random flashback as I read very random things and my twitter is open now. Private thoughts must just come here.

To make a twirling gif for my then girlfriend. When Buddha was talking about how appreciating a flower means looking at it from afar he had never had someone make him feel tender at heart!) Anyways, it was just much easier to be different people at different places, and slowly, over time merging

I saw a guy's twitter bio be "guy with flowers in hair" or something and I remembered having one in mine as well. It's not like as if I was a completely different guy in uni e.g. I used to pluck and take flowers for my guy friend (dear friend; also I think the primary function of breaking flower was

Trvth nuke: dating in Dilli was pretty good for me, because I could be the person I wanted to be very easily: there was no preconception of who I was, neither to myself nor to anybody else. There was just one of who I wanted to be, and bit by bit tried to be.

Reading through the FT at the moment is a strange experience: revolution, war, disaster, brutal autocratic oppression, mad dictator shit....and then "markets continue to thrive"; "record profits".

Funny how trump has straight up framed it up as an invasion. I suspect they're most probably looking at the right constitutional tool to utilise to side step the house and push forward until trump loses focus, or gets annoyed at not being liked for whatever it is he is doing.

has already threatened people to fall in line though, so let's see. I'm curious to see how this plays out. Barely a year into his presidency!

Institutional negligence? Corruption?).

The fact that the American administration has so far reasoned this as an operation centered around arrest of a criminal, and not as regime change in their legal narrative, would give you a bit of hope that is good news for the Venezuelan people. Trump

Trump admin sends tough private message to oil companies on Venezuela The White House has told companies they must rebuild Venezuela's crude-pumping infrastructure if they want compensation for assets seized by Caracas.

Happened
2) acceptance of status quo

which leads me to just think about the impact on Venezuela. The oil angle has been a bit sketchy so far, and I want to read a bit more about how Venezuela has cut it's production to 1/3rd of its capacity in 1970 (sanctions?

I think this is a good stance to take broadly, especially in the face of the aggressiveness with which the rw faction takes hold of the narrative nowadays. You can't be the only side to do nuance unfortunately.

My own, personal attitude is:
1) Resignation to that this is something that has actually

i know this is really hard to hear because it makes point to point predictions a mug’s game. you should treat trump like stock market. clear trends over time, but you won’t beat market day by day

Actually turn out.

I'm reading this book by my academic idolo, Richard Muller: "Nemesis" something. He talked about how he visualised and thought about one of the possible trajectories a two star system involving our sun could have, which could be behind periodic mass extinctions. He thought about

Pretty cool day today though. Woke up early got a bit buzzed while working sobered and went to office, wrote a big ass ODE on a whiteboard and just stare at it for a few hours. Happy to have used my brain to actually figure out the setup, the initial and boundary conditions, visualise how it'll
