whatever.

im calling a behavior weird, because it is. sorry that makes you insecure?

if whatever is going on in your head results in “ask chatgpt about a personal question with no correct answer”, that’s fuckin’ weird and should absolutely be stigmatized. don’t like it? then don’t be fucking weird about chatbots.

“youre not supposed to know that yet” then why in fucks name did you ask lady?

PBS Spacetime’s approach was a pair of videos titled “Why String Theory is True” and “Why String Theory is False” and between them that pretty much put it to bed for me. cool math, cool worldbuilding, call me when they make a testable prediction. until then it goes on the scrap pile with aether and phlogiston.

nah, that’s fucken weird

i say do watch the ones about string theory and mond so you can see why/how they’re wrong

“rationalism” is the choice religion of 87 IQ brainlets who think they’re geniuses for being able to read Voltaire.

my favorite is the tiny area in mississippi/alabama that says “the devil’s beating his wife” when there’s a sunshower.

funny thing is the last time i bothered thinking about utilitarianism was when i was reading about the zizians using it to justify murdering just whoever they pleased. i’m not convinced it works, it’s a school of philosophy for stupid pedants who want to feel smart and justified in whatever they already think.

utilitarianism: for when you need the worst possible take delivered in the most insufferable manner using the least amount of critical faculty to answer the questions nobody asked.

yeah people love to bang the “death of the author” drum and i think it’s because they’re just lazy and hate thinking about stuff. it’s a valid way of reading but it’s also the most low-effort and least insightful imo.

it’s tainted by the knowledge that the creator is a disgusting monster who convinced me that he was just the coolest dude, so i can’t enjoy it anymore.

popular =/= good though.

in fact awful things get popular all the time.

i was unaware of any actual incidents with her until now. i read fall of atlantis as a kid and literally cried when it was over because i loved it so much. re-read it as an adult and the pedophile apologia is so blatant that i immediately stopped reading it and stopped mentioning her name at all.

i’ll call it death of the author when they’re actually dead, until then it’s self-excused support.

even as a kid i recognized HP as slop and it feels vindicating that society is finally catching up
