@StarBomber @strnglft âThey roll harder than youâ LOL
Me: âone of my friends was just talking about thisâ Gf: âfriend talkingâ? Or âvaguely parasocial twitter mutual writing a thread about itâ Me:
Your parents are not uniquely triggering because of their status as parents. Itâs because their speech includes the accumulation of every small frustration, expectation, and desire theyâve ever had for you. Their language *doesnât live in the present* and neither does yours.
@retardbrah This was the Ancient Greek approach to sculpture

@credenzaclear2 @_Sowellsista_ Every man is this deep down, but itâs trapped underneath a cape of self-loathing brought on by the rejections of thousands of pretty girls
Iâm reading Dune for the first time and (slightly) surprised at just how much ingroup thinking seems to reflect the bookâs world. I might start tweeting unattributed Dune quotes as engagement bait
A friend of mine whoâs never wrong about financial stuff just gave her son $100,000
Someone Iâve been friendly with has decided to use DMT a lot (starting about 6 months ago) and I am convinced he has broken his mind entirely. I feel pretty uncomfortable thinking about what heâs risked and lost. I think itâs very sad.
Lobster traps only catch ~6% of the lobsters that enter them The other 94% escape â most of them just leave through the entrance This is so funny to me
The most common human condition today is this: Stockholm syndrome but for Moloch
@shinboson This is the most moving thing Iâve read in ages. Iâm crying while I imagine what it must have felt like for both of them. I have regrets and I know what loss feels like and maybe Tim does, too.
@da_667 @temeton_blue This would make a great teen action comedy
@QiaochuYuan When the sex is great, women (by far) When the sex is anything less than great, men
I want to make sure you are all aware of the Francesinha https://t.co/tz46z8qkOX
@rashingkat The trick so to go to an easy school with severe grade inflation that everyone thinks is hard. Like Harvard
âShit is compostâ is an amazing frame @VividVoid_ https://t.co/6yxLtdwTc5
@SaddestRobots âWhy do so many womenâs maiden names all start with đ?â
The year is 2045. Youâve been called in front of the House Unaligned Activities Committee. The sentient robot congressman faces you down and asks, for the third consecutive time, âAre you now, or have you ever been, a twitter follower of Eliezer Yudkowsky?â
@eigenrobot America will elect its dumbest-ever president tomorrow no matter who wins and I think thatâs beautiful
@nosilverv What if the real goal was to convince themselves that they are worthy of receiving love?
I struggle to draw any distinction whatsoever between âwe are living in a simulationâ and âwe are living in a Universe created by Godâ
Might become a type of account who claims that the Hebrew verb "××ע" means both "fuck around" and "find out" đ https://t.co/gxWd87fydH
@the_wilderless âExistence is Goodâ is functionally equivalent to âThe Universe Loves Youâ is functionally equivalent to âGod Loves Youâ is functionally equivalent to âJesus Christ died for your sinsâ
@fuehrerking Classical Hollywood melodramas typically restore order at the end of the film, but only after indulging in transgressive path for the bulk of the filmâs duration. The âhappy endingâ was plausible deniability but the imagery and fantasy of transgression was always the point (1/2)
@ALFfansAndorra @jesuslasupajew Pawgflation is real
@ryanvdreyer The whole story is incredible https://t.co/HWgjYPJxno

@visakanv My nephew says âuh-ohâ just before he does something he knows isnât right âUh-oh!â *throws a toy onto the ground* âUh-oh!â *drops food on the floor* âUh-oh!â *hits his mom in the face*

@GrantSturgis @BrndnStrssng Reboot of Jaws but with a giant shark
@HSI_TV @brofromanother Guadagninoâs remake, I agree. Argentoâs original, definitely not
@eigenrobot I wonder if using crime stats to influence our ideas of who should be allowed to vote might cause other problems and/or create a more insane discourse Golfcoursebatsignal.jpg
Iâm against artificial wombs but i support cryogenically preserving Queen Elizabeth and keeping her as recognised monarch indefinitely
@fuehrerking For a film to indulge in a world, and visually celebrate it (even ambivalently), often undercuts the social criticism implied by the denouement. A film that gets this wrong often works counter to its own explicit ends, especially when it aims to critique from the inside (2/2)
@parakeetnebula I stopped telling dates how much I love Joy Division because their most famous song is a bad prophecy to introduce into a relationship
@thechosenberg This makes sense to me! The set of people who âdonât want kidsâ includes a fair amount of people who today donât actively want kids, but may change their mind when they get older.
@nosilverv Smart autists understand this and reverse-engineer social systems, but keep the source code to themselves
I hope that QC is living his best life offline
Meeting online people irl is great because sometimes theyâre like âIâm Davidâ and sometimes theyâre like âyou can call me tortillaâ
Becoming a person who lives and speaks in the present is downstream of a lot of inner change. It requires a constant presence of forgiveness and kindness. I want my language â what I speak and what I hear â to live more in the present.
You have tens of thousands of hours of practice listening to and interpreting their every word, just as they do with yours. It was a condition of survival (for you as an infant) and for giving and receiving love (for you and for them, at every age)
From a locked friend: âthe ultimate goal of therapy is to make your therapist seek therapyâ

@cxgonzalez âGood familyâ as in âemotionally secure householdâ >>> âGood familyâ as in âsocietally respected surnameâ

Dear friends â I am leaving my job at the end of the month. A few of you know that I have deep experience in B2B Marketing for institutional crypto & in Product more generally. Please DM me with job offers, people I should talk to, projects we should do together, offers to chat
@angelic_enaygee True hotness lives in the way you carry yourself. Photos are just aesthetics
@nosilverv The landshark tweet about ayahuasca is the most intelligent thing anyone has written in the 21st century
@inerati This one is honestly very funny though https://t.co/mchp40rbeN
@HellenicVibes This Husserl biography is either 100% unreadable or a compelling masterwork. He should self-publish
@b3nz08 @SCHIZO_FREQ One of these seems pretty great though
This, unironically, is how English works https://t.co/YkoCk4pAsw
Speaking in the present does not mean forgetting about your shared history. Your history should be a sail that lets you move forward faster, not an anchor that keeps you stuck in the same place.
@warty_dog âSo is stressing about status, dadâ
@BecomingCritter Heroic work, thank you for being a worker of good in a challenging situation
@michaelcurzi Reminds me of how Japan apparently heard from Nazi propaganda about how Jews control the world and decided they needed to import Jews to make Japan stronger lol
The same dynamics are true with romantic partners, siblings, friends, work colleagues, or any close relationship with a shared history. Iâm just thinking about parents because Iâm visiting mine for Thanksgiving this week ;)
@dancapper @das_kongpital @christapeterso She is saving quite a bit of money on ribeyes tbf

The rise and fall of a society can be measured by the aesthetics of the men who steal your money
I want to do for ambition what @bowmansschool is doing for emotional and social literacy
I donât read DT very much. Heâs a great writer, but a few times heâs taken me on an emotional journey only to undercut it with a nihilistic twist at the end. Iâve learned to keep my guard up. This is everything I want from him â real feeling, respect for love and loss. https://t.co/2WDPar8Usu

@QiaochuYuan QCâs Little Book of Math Lessons is going to be so good
Lost my job today! Not good news but Iâm mostly thinking about how to make this into an opportunity
The timeline is THIS CLOSE to rediscovering the Catholic mystical tradition and I am here for it
Is The Secret just a more generalised but less sophisticated version of @visakanvâs âJoke about the outcomes you wantâ?
One major cause of psychic distress is (the fear of) succeeding in your revealed preference but not in your stated preference, since youâve tricked your conscious self into believing that your stated preference is your true preference (but your full self knows better)
@seconds_0 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole bag, and lose his own wife?
@HaloCEofficial What if the real BDSM power game was the fitness routine we made along the way
@BecomingCritter Itâs worse than that. Recycling plastic creates microplastics which then canât be contained
@imperialauditor A lot of Bene Gesserit training/thinking could easily be meditation advice from this corner of twitter A world where that training/thinking is a successful tool for navigating the word seems decidedly âpostrationalistâ somehow
Focusing on Present Speech gives me a way to strive to be better with and for other people. Itâs less about me and more about me-in-the-world. The change happens in the heart. I can hold myself accountable in the world because speech is an action.
@yashkaf I had a friend whose father made like 5 million dollars per year. They were always broke because he spent like 5.5 mil
@lndian_Bronson Or they are those who spend 19 hours per day jumping through hoops set by others, will follow any set of instructions (no matter how useless) in order to get a gold star
@maybegray More lost knowledge of masculinity: you can literally paint confidence into your face https://t.co/5Kb7x1Jp71
@jessicamalonso I think the first photo is a strong hint about whatâs really going on here
@samswoora ok now do handshakes
Letâs play a game You confess a secret ambition you have that you think might be too ambitious to actually achieve And I will help you A) 10x the ambition and B) make it actually feasible Who wants to play?
@righteousritard @eigenrobot No object level takes before marriage
âLibertĂŠ, ĂŠgalitĂŠ, fraternitĂŠâ is just the 18th century âLive, laugh, loveâ
@nosilverv tfw the culture is so stuck that it is fighting wars long since already won
@AlexandrovnaIng Lots of people to agree with so far but there should be more Penelope Cruz love here https://t.co/srxIX2z5xy
If Gandhi* tweeted âFirst they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you winâ today, someone would reply with a picture of an airplane covered in red dots * he didnât say it, ok fine https://t.co/9KqK1dgdld

Sheâs a 10 but I think Iâm missing a rib??
@ESYudkowsky @FerrisHueller NYTimes, Oct 2022: âThis new TikTok trend has teens eating a picture of a bearded man. But who is Eliezer Yudkowsky, and what is âalignmentâ?â
Scottâs âAt this point I think it would be cheaper to just hire professional dominatricesâ implies that thereâs a more effective version of EA that *does* hire dominatrices, thus freeing EAs from guilt as a primary decision-making input and unlocking better resource allocation https://t.co/iYfvZ0b7An
