Hey. Yeah you. No don’t look over your shoulder. I’m not talking to the guy behind you. Look, we’ve been meaning to tell you that you’re doing a pretty good job out there. Proud of you. Keep up the good work.

  • True it would have to be physically grounded somehow. Maybe an obscure and uncharacteristically benevolent hyper rich fella sets up camp in the north pole.

    I guess if we want Santa to exist historically it would take a religious level of interest and investment in ancient times. He would have to be reveared as a god and donated to. Then the organization can have the resources to get everyones Christmas list and send out presents on Christmas.



  • I get the point your making. But I feel your aggravation, and it makes me aggravated. It feels like ya just want to argue. If you wanted to have a good faith discussion you wouldn’t portray the other side like that.

    The one thing I’ll say is that political homogeny can be called an echo chamber or a community depending on your angle. If you never leave it’s an echo chamber, but if you have other sources then its just a community. I wouldn’t call that objectively a bad thing.

    I think that assumes a fundamental difference between the ruling class and the proletariat that I don’t think exists. Not to the extent that the “proletariat ruling class” would relinquish power more gracefully than the current one.

    I’d say phasing into a system with no ruling class would be the ideal. Yk the whole “once everyone’s super no one is.” Kinda thing.







  • I designate all folks as good folks. Even with the whole ‘every action is inherently selfish’ worldview that I have. I think most anyone close to me, and anyone nearby with free time would rush me to the hospital.

    Though, I think leaving me to die is fair and wouldn’t make someone a bad person. I am only the center of my universe.

    I’d imagine that that point of designating good and bad people is to decide where to put your effort. Who to try and support. Maybe to decide who to keep in your life. I’d say that can be done just fine without labeling folks as “bad people”.

    I worry folks will dehumanize and become a bit too negligent of the experiences of “bad people”. “Bad people” just means “contradictory and offensive culture” in most cases.

    Seeing as the time axis doesn’t seem special compared to spacial ones (especially in edge cases like black holes) I think time is just a perspective thing.

    My take is that all particles must be moving at the speed of light through 4d space time. Everything always moves at the speed of causality, just not always in the direction you are looking from.

    Do we know if the second law of thermodynamics is just a statistical thing? Does it work at extremely small scales? I know heat propagation could transfer from cold to hot. Its just so astronomically unlikely especially the more complicated the system gets.
