I have to say my experience of the homeless ppl in sf has been delightful so far
just saw a guy making fart noises with his mouth and shouting “who did that?!”
that’s the sort of Sesame Street psychosis you can bring the kids to

If anyone builds it (global coordination), everyone dies (the normal way, but in a totalitarian hellscape)

Q to the non afflicted. How often does your first encounter with a future lover start with very large obvious mutual attraction at first sight. Like butterflies, vision narrowing, holding each others stare kind of Eros? I have this a lot and it never works out maybe it’s a 🚩
Jesus fucking Christ. I’ve been trying to work out how every time I date a girl it ends up in an explosive radioactive mess and it turns out I just have a fetish for BPD faces 🙈

Everyone in the world picks an integer between 1 and 999 inclusive. If more than half pick above 2/3 average, everyone lives. Otherwise, only people that pick above 2/3 average live
On average, do you think blue button pushers pick higher or lower than reds?

I have one those painful little skin thingies in the my finger nail bed that’s getting infected because I did a poor job removing it
it struck me that that could mean the end of my hand and/or life had I been born in pre modern times
grateful for my friends iodine and bandaid

Loving this line by Robert Anton Wilson lately
"What the thinker thinks, the prover proves"
Like a sort of Hegelian synthesis of manifesting and cognitive bias maybe?

We wouldn’t need ozempic if we’d just tax food proportional to calories like alcohol and cigarettes
This would definitely work and not have any side effects

Trauma becomes an identity is a popular take in my environment and I anti resonate with it so viscerally, it feels a bit sus
But in my mind, saying I’m traumatized by x is like saying I’ve over indexed on a particular interpretation of x
It’s an admission of subconscious error
“Trauma” feels like such a permanent word
“I’m traumatized” becomes an identity that reinforces itself; causes the brain to predict and therefore create more trauma
Phenomena arise in patterns, sure, but both the Qualia and the patterns of qualia arise/pass away in the Now

Another way to look at it is saying, I see myself respond in a way that seems like I’m bringing the past into the now unskillfully
And as I type this, I’m mindful of my own tendency to go look for a particular trauma shaped problem whenever I react very negatively to something
