microfiction: a person hurts themselves with selflessness out of the sense that, being a kind of inwardly-turned extreme of behavior, it could not possibly coexist in them with the outwardly-turned opposite extreme of hurting others with selfishness, & thus it grants them a kind of ethical security

The Mind is a fun game to watch but it's hard to shake the feeling like everyone involved is but a shade of the perfect logicians one can see in the platonic realm of forms, who play the game perfectly

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

it's important to have your own unique door knock so people know it's you. a knock consists of stressed knocks, unstressed knocks and silences. as the creator of this system and thus the first person to note down my knock, i will claim the knock consisting of only silences (it's a zero-based index). Now would you please answer the door

fragariavescana

But *how many* silences does it consist of? How do I know it is you, rather than somebody who refrains from knocking on the door a different number of times?

trees are very 🥺 because sometimes i’ll stand under the shade of a tree and look up at it and it’ll sway its branches about in the wind and i’m like oh my God i’m alive and YOU’RE alive. we are alive together and made up of the same starry stuff and standing right next to each other in this moment on this earth. do u feel it when i reach out and press my hand to your trunk? can you hear me? i think you’re so neat. and then the sunlight filters through its leaves just so and that lovely green color leaves me dazzled. it’s just very nice to be an alive thing next to a different sort of alive thing

In order to solve our disagreements about the validity of contrived philosophical thought experiments, it might be useful to concieve of a simplified situation that exposes the core of our intuitions, and see whether we think they're useful in that context

thinking about this message from me mam that she sent me back when i was in uni. it literally is just a pinprick in the tapestry of life!!

Tumblr isn't social media, it's a habit. Like smoking. We're all gathering by the dumpster in the cold, reblogging posts.

rationality technique: read the book you're talking about

you may end up "less wrong" about it

still caring about internet friends you lost touch with years ago is so embarrassing. yeah i had a deam we met up irl recently. the last time we spoke was maybe 7-8 years ago. i still wear the laces we randomly decided was a sign of our friendship. i dont know what any of your socials are or if youre even active on any. sometimes i see someones art resemble yours and i wonder for hours. do you still go by that name you chose? whenever i see it i wonder if its you. we couldve passed each other in this vastness a thousand times and not have a clue.

we were lonely kids having fun together. do you remember?
