I clicked for strawberries. Where are they? Are you doing some cherry-picking of your thoughts on death, and playing on words?

I did a podcast that was released this week. I feel embarrassed because during the conversation, I forgot I was being recorded. My extrovert personality came out, and she was talking about introvert me.

oh boy, I love your perspective, and I think I agree. It's a hopeful outlook. I feel like poetry can't belong to academics only for its definition. Like folk music doesn't belong to the music industry. I used to think I needed to save poetry, to make it relevant to modern people. Turns out, it doesn't need me at all.

yeah I like that. Like you say, it is a temporary challenge, and in this sense I think no matter where you align politically, you have to face the challenge of sorting out the person you want to be. Young people maybe feel more comfortable inside the void, and this could be impacted by a lot of different things, but I'm thinking about our rapid and increasing use of technology that makes us more powerful, in a sense, and this adds more confusion to the chaos.

what's the simplest way to explain the halving

thanks a whole lot, it is lovely to have my idea understood! as to your question, I think it's interesting. Speaking from my experience, I witnessed the inevitable degeneration, but I couldn't say how often it gets repeated. I would love to study that question even in people I know, because I used to know a lot of liberals. What's happened to them? I can't tell that it's the same thing that happened to me.

you proved it again, this man is spitting Shakespeare lines

Amazing, I enjoyed reading! I could not imagine going through these things, it becomes very real when you hear it from someone's lived experience. You have had to test yourself in unimaginable ways, and I will remember you next time I buy deodorant.

yeah I gotta define all my terms, I will write long form about what I mean. but it will be hard because I have to figure out what I mean

you'd probably know what I mean if you ever talk to people in person

cognitive dissonance would apply as a term in what I'm describing, but I'm referring to a moment in conversation and social introduction

hmm kinda hard, but I should certainly define it, let's see it's like when you take in some piece of how they construct either their personality or their worldview, and you have a deep well of opinion/experience to unleash about it but you know they can't take it in

well done!

ek have you ever checked out my site? I think in our writing, you and I run parallel lines of a certain flavor of honesty, so that's cool

this got my eyebrows way up high, that's wild

I'm a young person and I agree with your assessment. I've written one personal article and one academic article along these same lines if you want to hear from me :)

bro was really feeling himself with this one

fellows, please tell me, if you're in conversation with someone new, what's something they could say that would convince you they're too normal

starting out, I think devs should wrestle with the ethics of turning every human function into software, (giving away ambiguity at the throne of efficiency) because there is a good and evil tension within the work that is going a little too unnoticed for my comfort

you didn't list three things
