A character has no control over how the story is told. #deephm #perception #life #philsky #philosophy
I can see that.
Could be cool to show both parties propaganda in an effort to expose the BS divisiveness we are stuck in and distracted by.

The revolution becomes the regime, a tragic tale as old as time.
Interesting. Not what I was thinking or meant, but cool. I’m a little confused by the “change sides” switch, tbh.
I honestly don’t how you could do this without accounts, but maybe that would lead to something even cooler. If you’re open to discussing it, I’m pretty open this week. Just shoot me a dm!
I have some ideas on how it could be expanded into a freedom of information, knowledge inspiring social media. Could even incorporate AI and positive AI interaction that improves dialogue and conversations, defeating the divisive BS we see everywhere.
An empty bucket can only be sacrificed and used, a full one can share and still have plenty for itself.
Better/more imply resilience to it rather than a happiness for it, but, when not smelling things, that resilience is to life instead, and even helps us out after a while. Ask my old friends, I used this constantly in retail work! Thanks for the read and interaction!!
That doesn’t sound fun. One of the studies was actually on smells, and the smilers liked the smells more than the frowners, even those they didn’t like (Fleming 2024)
For some reason, I want to read it to look for answers you’ve told me aren’t there… like posting “I solved it!” With a wrong HW answer on Reddit maybe…😂😂
Cooler how I can just hop in too, no annoying “give us your data!!”
I remember seeing this a while ago. Very cool.

Summaries are for active recollection, not citation. Great point😂
Human centered GAME design— sick. This just makes me wish I had a local newsstand or a walkable city like this…
Incredible quote from Team Cherry. Can't believe they make games like this
Mike, fascinating knowledge you shared, what a ride. Always enjoy your writing. Thank you!
A grim postscript: Elsewhere, Scheele's Green was also used as a food colourant in candy, cakes and icing. One edible cake decoration from Greenock, advertised “for the bairnies”, had seven times the fatal adult dose of arsenic. "Holy f**k" is all I've got. 14/
Those are like the ones you see most in intro to chem too! That’s crazy! Such cool things we’ve done with them!
Yo someone direct my curiosity I gotta hear about this. The mushrooms influence on the ecosystem already is crazy
I like your quote on systems thinking, it’s what I’ve been working to get into. I’ll follow you for advice n direction, thank you!
Dr. Pychyls book on procrastination says exactly this, but research based: we have issues with assuming we will “feel like it tomorrow”— but we never will. We just gotta start. Man I love when a philosopher is right like this and dots connect.
Know an electrical engineer and I love bringing this up because he’ll name like 3-5 sensors that would help them 😂
Literally. Sensors ain’t even that pricey bro. Get a couple radar or something like everyone else instead of thinking you can process images better than everyone else, especially when they can’t. And shoot, have it track reflectors, put nfc chips in the reflectors, there’s so many ways we could.
I wonder if it got lost with the yellow lines being at the edge of the shadows of the buildings. I think Tesla will never have FSD using only plain cameras.
And not just this, but just being human about it. “Know all the tricks, but when with another, be just another human soul”- Carl Jung
This is so true. We dismiss people’s struggles as, “they should’ve worked smarter”. But, how can we expect a lost traveler to know they are given wrong directions? This happens AFTER we arrive where we didn’t want to, not before. We should be helping people understand, offering knowledge to them.
I’ve wondered how bluesky expects its self moderation to not allow people to build their own echo chambers, push ideas with false authority, like Andrew Tate did. Not as much a current issue, but a major possible one. Now I hear this, what’s going on?
Crazy. Forgive my excitement. Anyways, Love that #Bluesky doesn’t really have this—wait we got #vss which is so fire, gotta love poetry challenges over performative ones!!
I do infact wonder why people do such, what I’d think we regard cringey, of these wasteful seeming posts filling an Instagram trend or something, like “post your 3 from October “ “if you have a dog post it” THATS LITERALLY INSTA GETTING US TO WATCH ADS BRUH?? LITERALLY PEAK PSYOP ENGAGEMENT BOOSTIN?
Great speech, really got to the responsibility we will never lose. I’m also curious, due to your book, what you’d say to Zizek’s take on wisdom (the once-viral clip)? (I feel like your response will be good, intriguing, eye opening)
Ryan I wonder— how will humans cope with having less and less to do?
Bluesky needs a way to save posts so I’m reminded.

Wow, people are human. Doesn’t feel like we know this! Great work! Love to see it.
Sounds very interesting. Congratulations!!

This sounds good, it’s on my list. What you do sounds cool asf too, glad to see it. I love cult-like psych and how all of that can work

@billgates.bsky.social “who can afford to do professional work for nothing?” Well, a society with everything, namely. Great question I found in Jobs’ bio. AI means we can have everything and more. Now’s the time.
Mighty interesting. A friend said in Greece he walks 10km a day or so. In America, this is an event. 😂

We’ve been tricked—but we don’t have to be.
9 short rules for a better life: 1. Wake up early 2. Focus on effort, not results 3. Read every day 4. Strict with yourself, forgiving of others 5. Seek out challenges 6. Stay a student 7. Cut toxic people out of your life 8. Think about death 9. Focus on what you can control
It needs to be used to think deeper, better, and more efficiently, not less. Some will disregard it like the calculator, some will use it to accelerate themselves and their thinking.
