not a big fan of retributive justice, but considering the fact that mosquitoe-borne diseases have killed half of all humans that have ever lived, we might consider exterminating the fuckers just because they deserve it.

The classical book reprinting site is live! LindyPress.net
For a while, I’ve hinted that I’ve been contributing to a project to reprint out-of-print classical and medieval texts that are of hidden value, sometimes even in their original languages. I’ve worked on this project for a while and now it’s live and you can browse the first five books available.

See the site at https://lindypress.net. All works have been reformatted in XeLaTeX so that … ⌘ Read more

Modern “Freedom” Means Being a Slave to Impulses

What does freedom mean?

See this article in video form here.

Which of the following two people is more free:

  1. A drug addict.
  2. A average man who is only not a drug addict because he lives in a country where drugs are regulated or shamed in a way to make them hard to obtain.

Most modern people will have a kind of cognitive disson … ⌘ Read more

Stay frosty: possible test stream on PeerTube and YouTube in a bit
I’m going to probably be doing a test livestream in a bit. Hopefully I fixed the issue in the previous stream with Pulseaudio and buffering.

I’ll probably go live on PeerTube first, test it there, then test it on YouTube. I’m mobile and on limit battery though, so it won’t be a super long stream if everything works out.

PeerTube stream will be at this link: [https://videos.lukesmith.xyz/vi … ⌘ Read more

Hedonism, Asceticism and the Hermetic Answer
The modern world more or less gives you the philosophical choice of either Hedonism or Asceticism.You never really hear it in those terms, but that’s how it is.

Hedonism living for pleasure. Your default lifestyle is eating whatever, watching Netflix and playing video games irrespective of how late it is.You watch porn, masturbate, have sex as much as you can and any consequences of any of this are just facts of life which you view a … ⌘ Read more

2x3: {lives in social/physical reality}×{views things generally as positive/zero/negative sum}. To be honest, I think there’s relatively few people in social positive sum reality frames.

@(frogorbits.com) “@niplav Seems like most of the (radical) life extension people are interested in adding years to their lives, but agnostic about adding life to their years. “Be old longer” doesn’t appeal to a lot of people.” -> I disagree, the people who i know that are interested in life extension look to me more engaged in life than the ones who are not (though that hinges on definitions of ”adding life to their years”). i agree that “adding life to your years” is underappreciated, though.

@adi@twtxt.net “I usually seen the opposite. Women are more interested in longevity and happy that studies show that they live more than men.” -> I probably could have been clearer: It seems to me that women are on average much less interested in life-extension (methods beyond usual health advice such as the old “exercise, eat vegetables”) than men. This might just be founder/sampling bias (life extension comes out of the relatively male dominated libertarian/techno-optimist cluster). Actually, maybe there’s just a variance thing here: median man cares less about his longevity than the median woman, but the variance for men is higher.

PeerTube v3 is now live with Live Streaming abilities
PeerTube has recently released version 3.0.0, which has added many things, including the ability to livestream. I’ve already updated by PeerTube instance to version 3 (it is linked from this RSS entry), but the link is just videos.lukesmith.xyz .

I’m not sure if I’ll end up immediately using the livestream ability, but it is certainly nice to have a non-YouTube option which is, in fact, self-hosted.

Aside from that, I strong recommend you … ⌘ Read more

Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking, just as the man who spends too much time in the theater is tempted to be content with living vicariously instead of living his own life.

Chapter 3: a long detour about how difficult it is to tolerate Ms. Honeycut because she only speaks in annecdotes about people nobody else knows. And then Uncle Jack is as lively as a shaken up bottle of coke when it comes to real estate development. Capitalism! This chapters recipe is lemon cookies. I love that every chapter so far has a recipe. No more waffles this chapter.

There is likely no media that has not been altered by coronavirus. This is a perfectly clear and convincing argument for living text. Horvath had no intention of this sentence being haunting to the reader because she could not have predicted that the reader would be in the middle of a years long pandemic. The authors intention counts for less than half of the book\s ultimate meaning.

When I am angry, frustrated and disappointed or depressed, I think of the pale blue dot every single time. It helps me put things into perspective.

Being right in a relationship doesn’t count for much. Even if you are objectively correct, relationships are about helping the other person live their life. All partners in a relationship compensate for the other’s shortcomings. That is one of the benefits of a relationship. Beware of Being “Right” | Hacker News

Part of the wisdom of meditation lies in the following: There is baggage we all carry, the self, this belief we’re the center of it all, the author of (and subservient to) our own thoughts. How do I stop doing what makes me unhappy, if that’s “who I am”? But, in reality, I can abandon “who I am” and find new processes of living and new ways of thinking about the world.

The ‘paradox of tolerance’ is not a paradox, any moreso than “my car requires gas to run but if I drive too much I run out of gas” is a paradox. Abstract machines are still machines. Society is a machine for living in, & if you break it living gets harder.
