Thiel and his circle in Silicon Valley may be able to imagine a future that would never occur to other people precisely because they’ve refused to leave that stage of youthful wonder which life forces most human beings to outgrow . . . . He wants to live forever, have the option to escape to outer space or an oceanic city-state, and play chess against a robot that can discuss Tolkien, because these were the fantasies that filled his childhood imagination.
More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
I wonder if I should just do what a sensible person would do and complete a perfect run and then play for score instead of trying to beat something that is way, way too hard for 99.9999% of players.

oh wait I forgot I hate the idea of a "perfect run" why in the world would I try that just now except to make myself feel good for a dumb reason. *puts self in gimp suit; flogs self* I should play a different game. Or write a bad fan fic.

I feel impudent when I want to play for score because I am competing with a decade's worth of expertise. That is why I feel like I should score in a game that is unpopular, or new.
Basically the Moldbug side is the secular side of their beliefs, while the Yudkowski provides the religion, or so it seems to me. They won't admit it's religion, but what else can you call the effort to try to accelerate the creation of AI God in the hopes it'll be benign?

I read some of his quantum physics posts, I remember.
They're an irritating read, because he's fully aware that he's trying to simplify a difficult subject, but rather than admit this, he repeatedly insults the reader and the early 20th century scientific community for not grasping said subject. I think this is supposed to make it less intimidating, but it just makes him look conceited.
People who think airy, light, "insight porn", blogposts are a good replacement for actually doing the hard work of reading, researching, and discovering how various fields work are dumb.
If you're referring to the kinds of posts I think you're referring to, I think they can be a decent read if you're just looking for an informal introduction to a subject to find out what it's about.
Of course Wikipedia can also be used that way, but it's not always particularly accessible.

I said "replacement for" I don't really mean that they can't be useful.

On the way home from work I saw a car with the license plate "I LOVE CP"
I know they didn't mean it the creepy way, but my mind went there >_<

So, wait
If fucking an animal is bestiality
Doesn't that mean fucking another human is worstiality?

I wish I could find that picture I saw online some years ago
It was a post office where one of their machines could read any color of paper but the other one had trouble with dark paper
So they had two mail slots
With the unfortunate labels of "WHITE ONLY" and "COLORED ONLY"

Hahaha oh wow
Apparently that Legends of Oz movie was a scam (and a scam connected to über-scammer Kevin Trudeau, no less).
Century Aurora has been pushing the movie hard...why they bother, I don't know, the thing had flop written all over it.
*sits in the box* ^w^
or at Arby's later today, but y'know.

My ma needs to use my computer so I can't really talk much.
I am going to be starting up an RP though! I'm going to spend the next day or two sketching out some concepts.
Oh, how I resent him for that.
Despite many, many physicists not accepting MWI
