you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid

[heedra]

really losing my patience for any 'feminist' statement to the tune of 'we need feminism because women fill a fundamentally different and necessary role than men and will be better at doing x y or z'. like actually i think we need feminism because it is an unbearable death of the spirit by inches to exist in a world where you are not seen as a fully realized human being because of a single cultural determination, and because a world that enshrines such things creates systems that are fundamentally sick to the core

back on my “it’s very important that cowardice is a vice, actually” hobbyhorse ✌️

[francesderwent]

I can try!

I don’t mean this in a judgy way; vice doesn’t first and foremost make you a “bad person” in the way tumblr means it (a hateable person)—but it does kind of make you bad at being a person. vice is an entrenched habit which prevents you from realizing happiness and fulfillment, and cowardice absolutely does this.

it seems like people are starting to catch on to the fact that if your fears are preventing you from ever having joys, then you have given your fears too much power. Mr. Woodhouse from Emma is a great example of this kind of character. his fears have completely prevented him from living a full life and regularly prevent him from enjoying even the small pleasures he has left. and crucially, this isn’t just something he’s done to himself. his cowardice also causes suffering for those around him, both in small ways (subjecting Emma to painful social moments) and in large (almost costing Emma her happiness with Knightley). if your fears have enclosed you into a progressively smaller and smaller box in your quest to feel perfectly safe (even and especially from things that objectively are no threat to your safety), then I think you have a real responsibility to try to face your fears and heal whatever is making you believe that they were worth losing everything. you have this responsibility because you were born to be a full human being, not a caged animal.

but there’s also another sense in which cowardice is a vice. if you possess every other virtue, if your system of values is perfect and just, but you crumble when under pressure, then you do not fully possess those virtues and you’re not able to live up to your own values. all virtues depend on each other; everyone has areas that they’re more naturally gifted in or they’ve practiced more, but you cannot completely leave out one virtue without cancelling out the ones you do have. courage is especially universal, because it is all other virtues practiced under fire. if you cannot be kind or you cannot practice justice as soon as it is difficult, then you’re not very kind or just at all.

this isn’t to say that we can’t be understanding and compassionate towards someone who caves or freezes in a moment of fear, and it certainly isn’t to say that there can’t be mercy after the fact. but it is to say that we have to be able to recognize the entrenched habit of the person who consistently prioritizes their own comfort and their own safety over everything else—especially when the safety being prioritized is a “feeling” of safety not based in reality or a social safety related to reputation, instead of a real threat on their life. if your fears prevent you from living out your convictions, then your convictions are pretty worthless. if there’s nothing you love more than your own skin, then you can’t love anything very much.

all this to say that I think we are slightly too quick to give a blanket pass to anyone who fails to do the right thing when it is hard. we don’t have to pretend it isn’t hard. but that’s precisely the point. we’ve forgotten that an essential part of the moral life, i.e. being a fully developed person living a full life, is the virtue of doing hard things.

@etirabys: "What if we just made a big foam pit for the baby that we could leave her in." Me: "She'd cry and your crushing guilt would bring you back." @etirabys: "I would equip it with a soft plush animatronic mother that dispenses food." Me: "Good point. Why don't they just make a cloth mother which also provides food? Are they stupid?"

I think we might actually be there for math formalization now. It's not to the point where it's super cheap to do whole textbooks, but we're getting to where if you have a specific theorem that you need formalized to check your paper, you can pull the supporting lemmas and get it formalized with a few days and a Claude subscription. And then you can have it formalize your paper from there

[bayesic-bitch]

It's insanely lucky that there were these two research areas, type theory for formal verification and reasoning AI models, each of which was of very limited usefulness to math research on its own, each happened to be reaching maturity at almost the exact same time. Math has such a high standard of rigor that can basically never just use an ai generated proof. And proof assistants like Lean are so incredibly arduous to work with that nobody wants to actually use them. But slap them together and you get a closed feedback loop where the model gets checked against an extremely rigorous formalism, and the model abstracts away enough that you don't have to learn homotopic type theory to use it. And you end up with something that is both easier and more rigorous than doing the proof fully by hand. And both of these went from deeply underpowered to pretty useable since 2023, just in time to be practical when paired together
