I was also led to believe piranhas and quicksand would play a prominent role in my adult life and this has been a total disappointment

Was wondering about applying group theory to law - I was thinking that certain arguments I had (about a game) come down to what symmetries people care about preserving

Might fit better for narrow-focus things like tournaments; sports events, than something like the court systems in a large country? Maybe rather than "law" I'm thinking more specifically of "rules systems" ... systems used to govern pretty specific events like a vote

We will never accept this ivory tower bullshit. There will always be millions working on open-source intelligence all around the world. I'm not mad because I think that can be stopped, it can't. I'm angry because this garbage is pushing for criminalization of people I love.

They see their own experiences through the panopticon rather than through their own nervous system.

Have been wondering if “not crowdsourcing the superego” is actually really terrible advice. Or whatever I was taking it for…like not sharing thoughts or something. Also Jesus’s advice to not practice your righteousness in front of others

Maybe it is trying to ward against Goodharting. But hide the right hand from left hand against the right hand and it seems logical that you then end up with a family at war with itself.
I was wondering if Jesus wanting the family at war with itself meant he is evil

But maybe it’s not that he relishes that sort of war exactly, but thinks it is a necessity for understanding the truth

Just noticed “attachment theory” by words could be about what is attached to what how…like graph theory, but I feel like I’ve mostly thought of that term as being about exclusive pair bonds

“Graph theory” actually feels like an odd name compared to “attachment theory” (or “network theory” which I think is actually a different math branch). The former tends to be confusing actually, I think, though maybe a lot less these days with “social graphs”

Maybe “attachment theory” wrongly places the focus? That graph theory is talking about the whole thing and “attachment” narrows to a particular connection or makes us think the main property about graphs that interests us is what the connected components are

Not sure I get light cones. Future light cone is stuff you can influence, past light cone is stuff that influenced you, somehow this feels different from adjacency but I’m not sure
Like is “light cone” proper as a synonym for “world” or is the latter bigger?

Remembering when I was young (maybe 9-14?) and learned about the Witness Protection Program. Never learned that much about it, but I think there was something eerie about it to me.

Thinking about it again, I wonder how it is even supposed to work. When I was that age maybe I expected governments to be more powerful or amazing than they really are
