My mans literally achieved Voldemort status. The legend. The absolute madman.
@QiaochuYuan is on a level of Twitter consciousness most can only hope to achieve with 100,000 hits of Acid.

Honestly this thread was legit courageous, and insightful, but years from now, the lasting impact might just be the phrase “a billion grand”

Who wants a Trillion dollars when you could have a billion grand.

The biggest danger in Capitalism is that people with Money invest large amounts of it into convincing you to give them more

Biggest danger in Democracy is that people with Power invest large amounts of it into convincing you to give them more

Neither system helps you seek truth
The world is already run by unfriendly artificial intelligence

The market and the ballot box don’t care about human flourishing

If you aren’t willing to sell your soul to serve them... to sacrifice your values for profit or popularity, they will try to replace you

Fight them
You think the Media doesn’t shape your beliefs?

We never lost the church, just transferred ownership to the advertising department.

Stop looking for a soulmate

Start looking for the person you want to lead your “seed-round”

Reagan ruined the institution of Marriage.

No fault divorce definitely did not “Make America Great.”

Time to undo the damage.

Last week learned my Uncle Tony (the one who introduced my parents) had passed.

Parents had just arrived back in the States from the funeral when we learned my Aunt Margo on Dad’s side has passed as well

If you’re praying type, would appreciate prayers for my family, and for me
Everyone talks about how anger covers up grief. The anger makes sense though, always so crystal clear where to direct it

Sitting in my truck right now flooded with more sadness than I’ve felt in ages, and strangest thing is how confusing and illegitimate the sadness FEELS.
I’ve been joking all week about how the beautiful thing about having two huge Irish families is that we can lose a few and still have plenty to spare

Then sadness hit like a wave, but feels fake, like I have no business feeling it, no right to it.

I feel guilty, almost ashamed.

“Is this true?”

Vs.

“What kind of person would I be if I believed this?”
Truth seeking is not your side vs my side… there is only one side you want to be on, the truth’s side. The goal is to keep changing you position so you always match up as closely with Truth as you can

Super interesting.

An AI takes direct, to the point, honest feedback — which takes less time to write but can come off as mean — and softens it with cushion words.

The next step is to have an AI that translates the flowery sensitive language back to “new photo sucks, change it”
Can’t wait for inverse of this :)

It’s Google Translate but for communication styles.
Yes. Thank you. My preferred interaction dialect is “@heyreiwang’s Mom”, set as default until further notice.

“Fuck around and find out” is a noble virtue in truth-seeking civilizations.

Few seem to know this.
