  By “misspent”, are you referring to those deposits?

  Look into the kabbalistic concept of tzimtzum, it’s an interesting take.

  Is that why Jews say “la chyme” before they drink, since it’s going into their stomach?

  What about Keynesian-style pizza?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Belief⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone want suggested that the rise in belief in human goodness is a function of the rise in belief of human incompetence. When you start recognizing that people frequently do stupid bad things not because they are bad, but because they are stupid, your heart softens a bit with regards to their intent.

  Anti-abortion is a great example. The majority of anti-abortion people genuinely believe that a zygote is an innocent human life, and terminating it is literally murder. If that’s what they believe, why wouldn’t they do everything in their power to stop it? People are murdering innocent babies!

  The more you get to know people, the more you start believing in Hanlon’s razor. Most of the “bad” people aren’t bad, they’re just good people with stupid beliefs.

  Y’know, if anywhere was going to have an ATM machine, it would probably be Costco

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sweet ancestry⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the immigrant mongrel thing. Outside America, it isn’t unusual for your ancestry to be that of your home country for dozens of generations, or maybe halves. Inside America, that’s basically only just full blooded Natives, most everyone else is a hodgepodge of several countries.

  Is just a way to kinda keep track of all the various ancestries.

  Correct, but we also have a disproportionate effect on the rest of nature.

  Like yes, cancer is human cells, but that doesn’t diminish the damage they do to the rest of the human cells.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Sensory Biology of Plants⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure what you’re referring to with the “chemical” thing. I didn’t say anything about a chemical marker, is that like a theory of consciousness? I’ve never heard of it, I’d like to at least investigate it if you can provide a link. I can’t find any references linking consciousness to a specific chemical, but I admittedly didn’t look all that hard.

  Which just means it would have been even easier to make the supplemental angle add up! Ugh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmmm...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I was wondering why it added up to 192°. Maybe I’m a freak, but I would’ve measured ambient temperature and drawn a supplementary angle. Also what scale is that thermometer on? That room is either really hot or almost freezing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Sensory Biology of Plants⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s a stoner thought that for all I know is totally true, but it’s so impossible to either prove, model or test

  That’s basically true for every hypothesis about consciousness, though. That’s why it’s called a hard problem. Like yeah, we can map neuron activity and record what the subject says they were thinking about. But that doesn’t tell us what consciousness itself is.

  And those “stoner thoughts” are how we conceptually narrow down the possibilities via internal consistency, and maybe get to something we can test. Just because we haven’t developed a test for a hypothesis doesn’t mean it’s impossible to do so. And even if a test is impossible, that doesn’t mean the hypothesis isn’t true. It just means we can know whether or not it’s true.

  We don’t really have models to compare too. We have hypotheses, but how do you test them? Is consciousness an electromagnetic phenomenon? Is it purely mathematical? Can it exist in gravitational systems?

  We know precious little about the universe. We have snippets of data about our immediate locale, and ever-changing theories about our not-so-immediate locale. We are specks on a rocky speck orbiting a fiery speck on the outer spiral arm of a bigger speck.

  Maybe consciousness is a fundamental force. Maybe it is emergent and the universe thinks a billion times slower and bigger than we do. We just don’t know, and we didn’t really have any way to measure one way or the other. That’s the tricky bit about subjective experience.

  I don’t think it’s any more “desperate” than any other theory. The only default position is solipsism: mine is the only real consciousness, and all the rest of you could be inventions of my mind or clever automatons. Once you start generalizing more than that, any line is kinda arbitrary. You either wind up at the universe, or you have to come up with a good reason to stop; and I don’t think we have the physics to confidently place that line.

  Who knows what energetic structures exist within galactic super clusters? Energy is constantly exchanged in the universe.

  The LFL (Lingerie Football League) was pretty close. Apparently they’re reviving it
