"Am I underfailing?"

- Amanda Askell

This is the most profound thing I've heard in a long time.

Not only have I learned more than I thought was available from watching her interview with Lex Fridman. Now I have to reevaluate my life.

Dario was cool, but I'm enjoying listening to the Amanda Askell portion of the Lex Fridman podcast. Interesting perspective on Claude's personality straight from Anthropic's "prompt whisperer"

Shout out to bill barr for keeping all of this shit to himself so he can stick it in a book for later, regardless of how much it fucked up the entire country.
Fuck you.🖕

Don’t be the same dusty ass you were on Twitter. Post your hobbies, your passions, talk with each other, follow people back. There is no reason for someone with like 78k followers to be following a handful of people. Don’t act like you’re an elitist dipshit here. We are nice here, to each other.

the plazas of old cities are paradigm centers, these molten pockets of freedom and leisure that hinder traffic while being also the essential destinations of all movement

the stillness and luminous emptiness of centers discloses a dimension of dignity that binds experience and forms its hidden ground, a vast void that is the silent soul of everything

I am more and more convinced that life must be made of centers, that centers are targets of leisure and annealing, that the centers of life are both geometric and temporal: gardens, temples, festivals, holidays, fire, flowers, meditation, prayer, ritual, gathering, sacrifice, wine, sun, sauna
