one thing that's interesting is that "it's not X--it's Y" construction does not occur with high probability in any corpus LLMs are trained on, and yet every LLM produces it with high probability

You have to go to some parties and/or conferences and demonstrate your bona fides. Getting yourself energetically cancelled is also considered a promising signal.

It is pre-emptive cowering before bullies whose approval they still perversely crave. For all they appear arrogant and insulated, they wholly lack the amour propre of an intelligentsia that actually believes in the moral and practical vitality of its own intelligence
it's got to be sometihng like this, i agree. but how on earth can that happen? it's like abuse victim mentality, but they run the nation now and yet they still dont believe in their own legitimacy.... as you can see my only way to understand this is psychological, it seems deranged as politics

I seem to hold three incompatible attitudes simultaneously: 1) I don't believe in ghosts, 2) I am willing for various purposes to suspend disbelief in ghosts, while remaining peripherally aware that this is what I am doing 3) I lowkey believe in ghosts

I have often seen "Waiting for the end, boys, waiting for the end" attributed directly to Auden
I often think that "hefting chalk-hulled flint" is a Ted Hughes line til I remember it's a Sylvia Plath line taking the piss out of Ted Hughes

Saw Emma Harner last night at the Omeara - a wonderfully assured performer of twisty and slightly elusive songs. Was especially charmed by her habit of announcing tunings and time signatures in advance.

It’s more of a Graeco-Roman “martial homoromantic bisexuality”. Women are for producing heirs, men are for actual love and companionship.

It gets a whole entry in The Mary Whitehouse Experience Encyclopedia, as a word so stratospherically filthy that normies don’t even recognise it as such
"where were you when you first heard the word felching?" is our jfk-in-dealey-plaza question
i was in the nme office in holborn in maybe 1987, swellsy (rip) was loudly showing off abt a word he'd just discovered (i pretended i already knew it to annoy him but i dont think i did)

AI Focus Group Psychosis a plausible explanation for Labour’s ongoing descent into fascist reverie
Morgan McSweeney (UK Labour's Dominic Cummings knock-off) is reportedly experimenting with 'synthetic voters' – "essentially fake focus groups of AI voters who can tell ministers more quickly and cheaply what the public thinks of policies" www.spectator.co.uk/article/can-...

Kind of unfortunate for the “tech=instrumental rationality=fascism” crowd that fascism loves holism, organicism, vitalism, all that good Völkisch stuff, and actually hates ungemütlich abstraction just like they do

I both love and hate that we’re revisiting all these classics now
After a long and arduous conversation with a Penrose fan who believes that Gödel proves that consciousness is not computable, we finally get to the meat of the matter and he just straight-up reveals he believes himself to be an Infallible Oracle of Arithmetic 🙃

I had always assumed this was going to be the case - that Yarvin was too cranky to be dangerous - which turned out to be a severe underestimation of ruling class gullibility
A society that was doing well culturally, politically, intellectually would show zero interest in Curtis Yarvin
