defund the schools
- holy shit in 1784 when edmund cartwright saw the mechanical turk play chess he was like "fuck it, if machines can play chess, they can weave" and then invented the mechanical loom
- the male version of the worm question is "would you still love me if we had to forgo lives of convenience and security because in the pursuit of what is good and true i made powerful enemies hellbent on destroying us"
- Replying to @a_thing_to_doI'm 11. I fidget while she thinks about her moves. She asks me to not fidget because it makes it hard for her to think. 7 moves in I'm bored as fuck and I resign cuz I can't sit still. My dad is upset. We do not get ice cream after this tournament
- i think the appeal of "magic/this-secret-world is real, you're the chosen one" type YA stuff is less about being the Chosen One and more about "what if there was an actual real world with real shit going on and you had agency within it?"
- yesterday I met a guy that ran a magic shop in SF n he was telling me how hard it was, I was actually V curious about the logistics and operations, but within 2 questions I realized he was just stuck on repeat proclaiming how noble and hard it was and it made me sad
- good example of the general vibes and tactics used to haze people into fucked up social orders and institutions without ever having to defend them you just mock people who don't know the scam is a scam
- Replying to @LucreSnookerholy shit, what must that first one be like? I can only imagine it feels like some Eldritch horror glitched thru the fabric of reality
- Replying to @natural_hazarddude just got pranked into radically advancing technology
- type of guy who tells his gf "I love you" according to a strict spaced repetition time table so as to ensure maximally efficient learning
- man, i'm haunted by the eloquence of this post i can't find. dude was talking about coming to understand the sway that the social had on what he'd let himself think, and how that only started to change when he worked nights doing inventory in the basement of a bookstore
- too many people talking about cults, too few people talking about friend groups that have an implicit pact to prevent each other from growing or doing something interesting with their lives
- bf who holds the conversation state in his head so gf can go on as many winding tangents as she wants and always return home ❤️
- anyone got good stories of going thru and emotional healing journey and ending up vastly smarter and in technical stuff? Like you finally forgive your parents and you found yourself just *getting* real analysis in a deeper way and your intuitions for harmonic analysis r better?
