Programmers understand another danger of dead code. It is not routinely exercised, so if it ever does run, it can be fatal to the application. Every time we spread a fashionable idea, there's a chance someone will take it seriously.

Because most people don't take their ideas seriously, bad ideas can spread very widely without consequence, until one day, one day...https://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1229945791885660160 …

You will often find that the damage caused by a single mistake is not even visible. Many errors are latent and their severity only becomes clear at the moment of crisis

There is another terrible allegory in "The Picture in the House". The old man looks at DeBry's picture of the cannibal before butchering a sheep, as if it were pornography.https://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1060964318890516480 …

Erotic compulsion is the most terrifying emotion. There are no words to capture the exact sensation of perverse desire, though we have all felt it at some point in a lesser or greater measure. “Not talking about it” goes beyond mere decorum. Indeed we have no faculty for it

Lovecraft didn't write about sex, but he did write about hideous appetites, found in enthrallment to an image. This is something we all know well. How many terrible images do we see every day, images we should never have seen?

Images of sex and violence can distress us in obvious ways, but the real madness comes from images that elicit pity, which I will once again remind you is a form of contempt. Can you think of an image that precipitated a descent into madness?pic.twitter.com/KyA42sTjvM

Madness may not feel like madness to a man in the grips of it. In fact, it may feel like ecstasy. Shestov wrote that the sun of truth blinds the inhabitants of the kingdom of darkness with its brilliancehttps://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1094774594844557313 …

philosophy must give up her attempt at finding the veritates aeternae. The business of philosophy is to teach man to live in uncertainty - man who is supremely afraid of uncertainty, and who is forever hiding himself behind this or the other dogma.

This is to say that there is no special quality of truth that makes it a midwife to sanity. The trick of religion is to transmute individual madness into collective peace, just as the trick of a market economy is to transmute individual selfishness into collective wealth

Everyone who accidentally runs the philosophy they find on the internet has a similar experience, you may find this familiar: they ran some strange code and now they feel like the whole world is on the brink of "waking up"https://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1021524869735804928 …

Evangelism thread. The rent that humans pay to beliefs. The arduous and challenging task of spreading your belief to others. If a memeplex is a body then evangelism compulsion is the reproductive organ of that body.

It can take years to see that this is not the case, and to realize that you are now stuck with a weird operating system that makes it hard to interface with everyone around you. But nor can you just unsee the "truths" you have seen

This is the true meaning "the only way out is through". Being in the grips of madness, we have to find a way to all share the same madness together.
