I was planning to do a rat ethnography but the dogs are way more interesting

Eesh, everyone's down on rats these days. The local ones are nice enough, anyway, though I only go to their events if there's a specific reason.

dude no shame to rats, it's a credit to them that their dogs rock

I mean you really see how different kids and dogs are when they're not afraid of people

It's cool how nerds' pathological fears cause them to create environs for their dependents where there's nothing to be afraid of.

Oh come on, maybe they're just nice people? That utilitarianism and everything...

Oh yeah that's totally a bigger factor now you mention it, I've just been on a 'nerds are fearful' framing kick for a few weeks now

I should also note I'm a rat in most ways except self-identification in the same way I'm (alas) a postrat; but ultimately I'm Will Newsome, Green Sun Prince, Heir to the House of Cards

I always feel like there's a line that clearly separates me as a postrat from the rationalists I've met, and that line is my pluralistic/contextual approach to truth. It's not that the rats are wrong, just either missing the point or focussed on things I don't really care about.

I feel like I'm postrat but for a different fundamental reason, which is that I think there are far more things in this universe than are dreamt of in their philosophy, even though I'm a monoaletheist

even though i'm a monoaletheist and don't believe in the things, i'm still a postrat because i like to post bullshit on the internet
