  1. @Leo Gura I dislike the framing on your latest blog post. It's true that human rights are a social construction, and we do take for granted the safety of society. But the people in the video you post are holding their own twisted construction; that rape is okay under certain circumstances. It's not sobering to throw out human rights; it's changing one construction for another. I get the point you're trying to make, but the example is awful. I cringe at how extreme your analogies have to be sometimes, it's not necessary to teach construct-awareness. If you're trying to make a point about human rights or men and women beyond teaching construct awareness, it's not working and it's too extreme. We have these constructions for a good reason, because it produces a more conscious society. Don't tear the good constructions apart in front of people who might not be construct-aware yet.
  2. Leo would say: It's survival. It's always survival. Desire is the emotional reaction when you have a survival need that you want to be fulfilled. But it's not always logical or necessary. The mind can be wrong about what it needs to survive.
  3. Delulu. Enjoy the fantasy, I'll see you back at work on monday.
  4. Good luck! I am also working on an indie game at the moment. I use AI a lot to think through problems before I go implementing them. But I must admit it's led me astray plenty of times. Claude can be so confidently wrong and reaffirming. It will often present a solution to a problem that kind of works but is inflexible and doesn't sit with the rest of your game's architecture. For educational things like: What is a State Machine? it's fantastic. But for 'how do I get my enemies to do specific behaviors using a state machine in Unreal Engine' it starts to fall apart. I'm considering dropping AI altogether for complex problem solving. Visual scripting with blueprints in Unreal is perfect for me. I can contribute to the project without having to open a fucking IDE (hell). I would have to use AI heavily to write code as an untrained programmer. Hopefully Unity has some version of that you can use?
  5. They're just jealous they're not coming to the cookout. Who's turn is it to bring the ascension juice? And we need to find a new island, the last one is a no-go.
  6. Well, it's not. People misremember things all the time. And your memory is always colored by your current mood and situation. Consistency is an illusion.
  7. Used to be popular when I was growing up in Aus. Never see it anymore. Except maybe in little fish and chips shops. I always thought it was the same thing as root beer.
  8. Could be a 5 second video. You're a leaf in the wind, deal with it.
  9. Obvious bs Or so intoxicated by self-help swagger and green juice he doesn't even realize he's been sick
  10. Just seeing the name of his channel 'Hoe Math' is enough to see this guy is a cooker. Gender wars are stupid.
  11. Nobody except the insider traders know. For the rest of us there are no safe investments. Just various degrees of grey and greyer risk. You'll have to come up with a strategy yourself based on how you think the market will grow over x years. Use your head - what will certainly have grown in x years?
  12. I'm lucky to live there. But unless we make a significant investment in new cities and infrastructure the country is doomed to rot. But investments like that are not cost effective anymore. Our cost of living is already too high. So here we are, stuck in stagnation.
