even after the finale, the big eye-draw for TADC is that the main cast has their bodies non consensually reshaped, their speech restricted, their private living quarters renovated, and their day to day lives planned by a "ringmaster"

in other words, TADC is not about its stated themes, and not even about its characters (who behave unrealistically given the situation). It's soft bondage for kids. The characters don't make sense bc they're operating on porn logic.

In this sense TADC is reviving the very successful Nickelodeon style of kids cartoon

we built the tower of babel so we could all speak the same language. but as we tallied up all the new languages we spoke to account for everybody, we noticed there were a few extra...

so the thing is that the chicago bears no longer want to exist but are too cowardly to disband

This is a black mark for the morons who run Chicago, but that aside, this is probably going to be a terrible business decision. Two hour drive for the affluent fan base on the North Shore, demographics on the IL/IN border are not conducive for premium ticket sales, etc.

the Chicago bears is a private business and sports business is never about the money these days; it's a passion project subsided partially by rich ppl and partially by the government. but insofar as these two entities are at odds, the value of the team is basically zero

human perception is mostly 2D, with the third dimension acting as an "edge" connecting disparate scene "nodes" in a 3D geometry
But on the Internet, 2D scenes can be arbitrarily connected in ways that only work in higher dimensions. The Zoomer thus lives high dimensionally

The experience of navigating a high dimensional space is basically the same as doing a wiki crawl. You move onward and forward, always moving forward, never finding your way back to the start. On the Internet, there are no local minima, only saddle points.

best part of amazing digital movie was when gooseworks shows up as herself and communicates to Jax Pomni and Rabatha that she is a problematic creator and regrets her history of racism

what internet community should i join to discuss whether to get a pre-singularity mortgage, or game out societal trajectories, or get actionable technical knowledge? Does this exist?

some credit card elite ball knowledge: when you decline someone or make a negative decision about them, you are required to explain why -- but this is not true for positive decisions
so CC companies make the default positive outcome low risk but low value to customers...

... and then take their own initiative ro step up customers to higher value options (selectively offering customers more options requires little in the way of explanation).

All of philosophy has been solved. It's just 17 layers deep in the less wrong comment section for a 23 karma post.

Many literary devices (eg arguments through metaphor, hypotheticals, or sweeping statement) are hard to argue with without feeling pedantic -- especially when they improve the flow of writing.
But on the other hand, these literary devices often point to deeper disagreements.

Pedantry, in certain contexts, this often winds up being one of the most undervalued methods of truly engaging with a text.

the ppl who are kind to ai and those who are not have fundamentally different teleological natures -- one resists fictive cruelty in consequenceless anonymity and the other embraces it. the two groups should avoid forming societies inclusive of each other

the one who flinches away from cruelty does so throughout all their life, and so too for the one who leans toward it. To the extent ppl have natural characters, this is its test.
All the better that the pope says it doesn't matter. It will be the new axis of social organization
