Everyone thinks that they are different than everyone else. Some of those people are right though.

I'm not sure what happened but YouTube is now recommending real actual fascism (like no exaggerations) channels to me now. What happened to the pipeline? I don't even watch Jordan Peterson or any of these freaks. They're just going to shove real fascism into people's faces now, skipping all the steps?

@Fionnbharr Do you remember a Ukrianian music video we were looking at where it was three or four women and they had flowers in their hair and it kinda had pagan-vibes. Was filmed in the daytime. You know what I mean?

According to the ISW, the casualty ratio in northern Kharkov is now 8 Russians to 1 Ukrainian. 😂 Fuckers, go home. I guess this explains the renewed interest in terrorism though.

@psychology

Why do you think that aggression is so tightly associated with frustration? This does not seem like an adaptive response, despite being widely cross-cultural.

People studying brains: "We found no correlation between number of neurons and IQ."*

People talking about AI: "If we just add more nodes to our deep neural network we are surely going to create a super-mind!"

@j_bertolotti Okay but hear me out here. We know that in the animal kingdom there is a correlation between brain cells per body mass and intelligence. I think what the AI people are talking about is getting up to the level of a human, dolphin, elephant but what you're talking about is a kind of plateau when we reach that point. In other words, brain cells do matter but with diminishing returns and where humans are already at the point of marginal (or worse) gains. You know what I mean?

@j_bertolotti (Not that I'm advocating that techbros burn the planet for more fake neurons to make ugly art and chat bots. 😆 Just trying to be fair.)

@j_bertolotti Yes, absolutely. I meant to say I see your point on that but got lost in my rebuttal.

Okay, I finished reading the Majjhima Nikāya this morning. That means I'm approximately half way done with the Pali Canon of I started in October. Next up is the Samyutta Nikāya, which academics say is the oldest layer in the collection.

@ReadingFaithfully_org Alright, this is smart. I will go with this, based on time. Perfect. Thank you. That was helpful. I didn't think of it myself! I'll take a look at your post.
