'I am' the Great Constructionist
A Government of lies and u-turns. And a failure to end rip off Britain.
In May millions of people have a chance to vote for something better. Hope and a plan.
You chose to live life.
I chose transcendence.

Erica Payne, founder of @patrioticmillionaires.org: "Doing it around the edges is what got us this freak show in the WH sending out memes about him being Jesus & getting in a fight with the Pope in a country that prides itself on the separation of church and state. For heaven's sake! Enough already"
Humans aren't religious by nature. They just want their egos stroked.
May thy cup overgreeeneth.
The juxtaposition of this advert with (another excellent episode of) Strong Message here works in an artistic way, I think. I don’t know what the ad is for, but it’s a masterpiece.
The offer was mine to give.
It is simply who I am.
Just for the record: I am offering the first families governorships in each state.
It's okay.
The humanities have already destroyed palantir and Jordan Peterson.

Thy culture is of thy choosing.

I brought a brain centric, physicalist, naturalist understanding to Berger and Luckmann while swimming in Foucault, fem and rad fem, and already understanding it was nurture over nature. I had been driving at that for a year at least before I read social constructionism.
I am in a race against ai.
Good politics. Bad philosophy. I am a language ape. We built social rules around hominin emotional, tribal structures. Moral nonrealism is the only coherent philosophy.
The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military.
The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him.
Words aren't enough - it's time for action.
The last god in the gap.
Peptides?
I'm pretty tepid about Harari's work but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. The poetical framing of speciation used to spark his other knowledgeable sapiens.
I was confused.
It’s 5th April and time for my excellent friend @dunsworth.bsky.social to rip up page 5 of the execrable Sapiens. And this page contains the most scientifically ignorant sentence I have ever read in a book written by someone who is meant to be a scholar.

To which I say no. No, no, no, no, no it has not. Quantum theory is really weird and there are unknowns, but it doesn't involve giving up materialism. In fact, it gives insanely accurate reliably predictions.
Boo, then, I say.
Enjoying Pollan's new book "A World Appears" but he does something that frustrates me, which is to treat materialism/physicalism as if it's some sort of intellectual hidey-hole scientists crawl into to avoid the idea of subjectivity.
This article doesn't mention the part about how having a universal basic income would mean fewer people becoming homeless in the first place, which is kind of important to reducing homelessness.

Simplicity. Unity.
Disarm. Ubi.
? To understand how your brain/genes are working 'you' have to imagine putting the entity in different worlds.
-yes. Humans can create single sex societies where a baby/brain/kid doesn't have any imagery or knowledge of the opposite sex.
-That person does not know nor lusts after the opposite sex.
"They're our future"
@zackpolanski.bsky.social addresses the National Education Union - calling for a renewed approach to an underfunded, broken schooling system that fails to put young people’s futures first.
