    A friend asked me to defend technology in two tweets. Curious for critiques, or your own version. Here's mine: Society survives or dies based on its ability to sustainably grow the pie. Without a growing pie, there’s a winner for every loser, and we engage in zero sum conflict.

    We explain the seen in terms of the unseen. To claim that we can ever reach an *end* of knowledge growth would mean that the unseen used to explain the seen doesn't itself require explanation. Hence we'll always be at the beginning of infinity: pretty fucking cool if you ask me.

    The fallacy is committed when you mistake the first and last stages just because they seem similar

    🥳02/02/2020 Happy International Palindrome Day! Today is a palindromic date whether you use the MM/DD/YYYY or the DD/MM/YYYY system. The next time this happens will be 12/12/2121 so make sure you take the time to yell a nerdy HAZZAH today because that's a palindrome too!

    And a nuclear fusion reactor will have many millions of times that power per unit volume. So much for its being merely an "artificial sun"!

    The more I learn, the less I know. I've accepted this, and am now just enjoying the ride.

    Yes. But I guess that's fairly far ahead, and will require a constructor theory of knowledge first. (Hand-waving version: knowledge is information that can program a programmable constructor.)

    I asked the wise one: "Teacher, what is a game?" They did not respond. They merely motioned to a pedestal, whereupon lay a block of wood and a butter knife. "Carve this block of wood," the teacher said, "until you find the answer." (1/13)

    Holding your nose and voting for someone you have problems with because the alternative scares you more is a reality of a polarized 2 party system. But if that's your thought-process, how dare you talk down to people in the same predicament just because their choice is different?

    I was starving and a guy with 40 sandwiches gave me one, but it was the equivalent of a guy with 1 sandwich giving me a crumb, so I threw it back in his face. That bastard.

    Kate’s iceberg is itself the tip of a still bigger iceberg and one we cannot face. Too big to contemplate. When it comes to US research universities, it’s “icebergs all the way down.” We are waiting for the research university to objectively research itself. What could go wrong?
