Gratitudemaxxing would actually solve all my perceived "problems". Quote tweet and then add your gratitudes! I own multiple devices for web browsing. My feeds show me wholesome and beneficial content. I live with my spouse and cat in a beautiful home. I have time, health, and wealth in excess to devote to martial arts training. I share my practice with local friends and a world wide network. I have kept my limbs and health intact. I've sat meditation retreats. I've read the dharma of many religions and great teachers. I explore exotic states of mind in safe contexts. I read multiple books a month. My spouse cares for me and has my back, I cherish and delight in her. My friends have wonderful children. I have three great siblings. My parents look after their health. I have friends all over the world, yet I can stay in communication with them. I almost always sleep on beds and have hot water on demand. I have financial stability, security, and even abundance. My work stretches my skills, allowing my growth. I enjoy eating wholesome foods. I can digest lactose. I love milk. I love cheese. I have interesting friends with strange ideas.

Practice means continually transforming into a new person, someone who can do the skill U couldn't before. The feeling of transformation can feel disconcerting as U watch yourself "do" something U didn't think U could, makes U question "who" "does"

My joint pain tends to show up two days after the aggravating movement and taking plenty of collagen feels like it aids recovery. Lately I can through ninjutsu, parkour, and climbing without pain, but something I do while riding my bicycle aggravates my knees

Good, as a form Treat the world as a collection of I’s (agents, lives, futures) and maps between them. 1. Partial order, not total. Some goods don’t rank. Two flourishing lives need no winner. A unique global maximum is already a different object. 2. Has a unit. Non-interference — seeing an I without using it — acts like 1. You can compose with it and nothing happens. Most of ethics lives next to this, not in heroics. 3. Composes. good ∘ good stays good. Help that needs a later betrayal to “work” was never of this type. 4. Preserves objects. The map may change states. It does not delete the I. Category-talk: a functor that does not send objects to nothing. 5. Expands Hom-sets. After the act, more real maps exist between I’s — more possible answers, repairs, gifts, refusals. Optionality of persons, not of menus. 6. Mistakes have inverses. Error-correction belongs to good. Repair, apology that actually restores, science. A monoid with partial inverses, not a group of perfect acts. 7. No annihilator. Nothing in the structure satisfies x · 0 = 0 for an I. U cannot compose someone into a resource and still call the composite good. 8. Monotone in informed consent. Raising the other I’s knowledge and real ability to refuse does not make a good act worse. If it does, the act was extracting. That is roughly: structure-preserving expansion of the I-web. Generative. Open. Plural.

"There are several things you will want to accomplish in that first meeting. Keep it positive at all times. Help them to feel as you do: that your family, second to God, is all-important. They sometimes need to be reminded of how fortunate they are to be members of their family. You can quicken that feeling of love within each of them by being very loving YOURSELF and telling them how much you care for and appreciate them. It’s no coincidence that you have been brought together during your brief stay on this earth. You have been brought together to learn how to love unconditionally, in all circumstances. What a wonderful opportunity to learn!"

So wild that people think that way, as a young person I read in some book somewhere to compliment pretty people for their intelligence and intelligent people for their looks which felt a bit 🤔 but I could see the logic, but that cashes out well for gorgeous geniuses because I just call them that hahahah

Super curious to hear what U'll make of the vibravision folks.

This one has stumped me a bit as this organization has very little negative press, and the martial arts demonstrations actually look pretty good too lol https://t.co/ngfAnbkSAW

Last night I made collagen miso soup broth and drank it an hour before bed. I think next time I'll also had some electrolytes to it because I did have some muscle cramping when I woke up this morning. The glycine content in collagen seems to help me feel sleepy, I prefer to take it at night now

Hm, physically it looks like using slanting and "spherical" (kind of like three dimensionally rotating) movements to receive attacks. U could imagine a ball spinning very fast in the air, and if U threw rocks at it the rocks would glance off of it Mentally it feels like playing 'spin' doctor, perpetually throwing off frames and answering questions in ways that don't seem outrightly evasive but somehow mislead and redirect

this is a very sobering read. main thesis is in section 5: > Our conjecture is that a modern society makes the third child expensive and childlessness cheap, even when GDP per capita is only a fraction of the frontier (i.e., the U.S. level). Children are expensive because a child must be equipped to function in a world of formal knowledge and credentials, which takes years of costly investment (Restuccia and Vandenbroucke, 2013, Doepke and Zilibotti, 2019). At the same time, children are no longer productive in the household, not even for smaller chores, having been replaced by “engines of liberation” such as the electric appliances now available even to poor households (this idea extends the intuition in Greenwood et al., 2005). Modernity also imposes tight career schedules, set by large-scale organizations, that collide with the biological clock and with the kin networks that used to share the work of raising children (Adda et al., 2017, Compton and Pollak, 2014). And modernity makes childlessness cheap, because an impersonal society imposes next to no penalty on those who have no children: pensions and health care do the work that sons and daughters once did (Boldrin et al., 2015), and lineage counts for little. > Goldin (2026) pushes this line further with an argument about a growing mismatch between genders. Modernity also changes gender roles unevenly. Women’s opportunities expand rapidly through education, work, and greater independence, while expectations about housework and childcare often change more slowly (Goldin and Katz, 2002, Goldin, 2021). This is particularly true as economies shift toward services, where women’s comparative advantages are better rewarded (Ngai and Petrongolo, 2017). The mismatch operates at both the extensive and the 18 intensive margins: more women remain childless, and mothers have fewer children on average. > This argument is attractive because it explains why East Asia and now Latin America have such low TFRs. These are the societies where the gender mismatch is largest.19 It also suggests an intriguing possibility: societies with highly unbalanced gender norms start with very high TFRs, as men impose their preferences (Ashraf et al., 2014), and end with very low ones, as women resist (Doepke and Kindermann, 2019, Doepke and Tertilt, 2018). A paradoxical reversal of demographic fortunes. ... > In short, modernity in its current form seems largely incompatible with replacement-level fertility.

if you believe this you are going to own yourself for no reason. that is not what people mean by "oversharing." let me say it in the most autistic way possible: oversharing is when you have not established common knowledge that the other person wants to participate in the computation you are attempting to enroll them into participating in. it is a failure to understand basic human protocols for establishing trust, rapport, and common ground. the message you are communicating when you overshare is "i do not understand how relationships develop gradually over time as we mutually discern how much and in what ways we can and want to trust and rely on each other"

Like yeah, modern medicine is a miracle and a marvel, but from the bottom of my heart, fuck every physician whose concern for their patients is barely-disguised-contempt that leads to listening too little & prescribing too much

In my view we have a few different tiers of verifiability 1) programatically verifiable (near-free) - games, coding, math, cybersecurity, chip design 2) real-world verifiable (cost-or time bounded) - sciences: biology, chemistry, physics -physical world: material science, energy, aerospace, robotics, agriculture, pharma -forecasting: trading, weather 3) verifiable with human preference - writing, design, comedy, charisma, persuasion I expect most low-hanging fruit in (1) to be solved very quickly. Not sure how much longer before more solved math conjectures are simply uninteresting. I’m least certain about chip design being in this category, perhaps we hit a ceiling and require physics or materials breakthroughs to continue progress. My guess is we will quickly run into the limits of how well we can simulate each domain in (2). The time-bounded nature of real world verification may be the reason we don’t hit fast takeoff. Sim2real remains an elusive problem to solve when real-world data is limited. Part of the reason I don’t expect to live multiple hundreds of years is simply that I expect pharmaceutical progress to be time-bounded by the physical world. I expect the items in (3) to never really get solved to a superhuman degree, as success relies on an ever-shifting plane of cultural preference. People adapted to “good” AI writing and became annoyed at new stylistic tics that, in a vacuum, are not necessarily bad.
