no, he’s just out of town for the weekend

we got lib fash and con fash folks. we got one soc fash grandpa.

you learn just enough linguistics to make a language skeleton with consistent names that don’t sound like 1) english but not or 2) what an english person thinks language X sounds like where X is Arabic for people in an arid climate, etc. this is much less complex than making an entire language with a full enough dictionary to express complex thoughts and grammatical rules just to have names for places

hence my username

we also got “new language but the phonetic inventory and grammatical features are just a remix of celtic languages like daddy tolkein intended”*

*i am aware that quenya is mostly finnish, don’t at me nerds

he could literally hire a team and build a personal medical lab

that’s what’s happening. he’s the product. i think it’s called blueprint or something stupid.

https://yewtu.be/3bFnZsvh6pw here’s a hour and a half lily alexandre video trying to break down exactly what the fuck is going on with this guy (and other thoughts).

Find fellow neurodivergent people with similar interests to chat with. Or my favorite, get collected by an ADHD person and then meet people that way.

batman villain aesthetics. like a glenn howerton joker.

ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

it gave me context to feel a compassionate through-line for human existence and appreciate more the historical development of global civilization from a pretty materialist lens. as applied to my personal history, having a lens to view the development of judaism and christianity as an expression of cultural response to material conditions and in relation to debt and economic relations gave me a way to psychologically distance myself from feeling a need to negotiate with the religion as an insider. approaching it from a historical materialist perspective, i think graeber also unintentionally paints a convincing portrait of the interaction of technology, capital, people, and the psychological traumas people inflict upon one another. i had been raised to be generally compassionate in principle, but by relatively ignorant and poor practitioners. in other words, graeber’s approach to history and the specific content that he focused on to develop his theory of debt as a panhistorical economic driver and instrument of power and recurring example of a superhuman (larger than a human can successfully reason about concretely) abstract that drove humans to think more abstractly about everything. that last part, along with a materialist approach to integrating history, filled in the gaps that I had from understanding Marx as applied with less eurocentrism than Marx was capable of.

this is basically my answer as well. something about reading Debt made it click for me.

MikeFromPA was completely correct about this kid. he seems like a fine enough young kid who has a lot of reading to do and also shouldn’t be in front of hundreds of thousands of people. a shitposter if you will. (i am not on twitter, i do not read tweets, please do not come at me for some inane shit this guy might have said about healthcare or something, i agree he sucks. i think people like him because he has the same speaking cadence and a similar voice to felix biederman.) but Mike was right about this guy’s complete unfamiliarity with the general practice of polling. no one, not even campaigns, benefit from everyone’s polls being wrong. even fox news wants their polls to be right. nate bronze is a joke, but his math is like, basically fine. you have like ettingermentum saying stupid shit about models using bad polls, but a good model will use a low quality poll with appropriate weighting and get better results. which is what happened. don’t want to see this kid again until he’s an actual socialist or something though. which…

feeling a pritzker/fetterloser ticket here. “our billionaire” feels like peak beltway brain

let’s men have a voice

starting to understand why freud was so convinced of the separation of id and ego. the disconnect between conscious and subconscious understanding here is breathtakingly vast

teaching illiterate people how to write was a mistake actually

they just need to find her a cowboy hat and she can resume being Ms. ALL SUN day, who is definitely not important for restoring the sun god, definitely not.

I called the treasure tree Adam being yggdrasil to a friend a few weeks ago, that’s pretty hype info. The thousand sunny is made out of elbaf basically
