gratitude that the widely-available LLMs aren't yet full of sponsored bullshit

I notice that the songs I'm trying to learn for my choir get stuck in my head, and I think that's how I learn!
maybe songs getting stuck is evolutionarily adaptive to an oral culture

The glass isnโt half empty. It isnโt half full. Itโs a vase. Put some flowers in it and smile

fascinating LLM learning moment:
me: what could I have added to AGENTS.md for you to realize this was not a good solution
llm: <suggestion>, "But candidly, I should not have needed that"
pure example of shame missing the mark: that "should" will not help it to it right next time

how many times have I mistakenly thought that feeling shame would help me do better next time... it doesn't, does it

we're scared of power because we've lost accountability
we lost accountability because we don't trust power

spoiler: it's that you can just do things. observe what you would trust yourself to do well and do it. exercising power is an act of service

note how I avoided saying "exercising power *well* is an act of service". why? because that incentivizes starting with judgment. I trust you already, do it

when I think of 1984 I feel like I'd find a lot more ordinary joy than the protagonist does
there's an implicit "the system is bad hence I must oppose it" frame in it that's also very relevant in our culture.
I think that frame feeds the system

it's a psyop that if they control language and jobs then you can't be happy

"Any simplification that creates enemies must be corrected" is a great life principle
May 14
What kind of world are we leaving behind? Unfortunately, it is a world distorted by war and war-like language. This pollution of reason comes from the geopolitical sphere and invades every social relationship. Any simplification that creates enemies must be corrected, especially in universities, through complexity of thought and wise exercise of memory.

me n who
This one time I was at an LGBTQ party and a guy flirted with me.
I feel flattered still now by his directness, his instant and total desire: the moment he entered the club and spotted me, he beelined *straight* towards me and wasted no time at all in making his intentions clear.
