Nietzsche's loose advice for aspiring authors is exceptional. Practice writing concise ideas everyday. Even just two pages every day will help you find the best ways to clearly express yourself and give life to your ideas

Claiming I've known you since we were kids as an argument against my calling you an authoritarian isn't the argument you think it is.

It is precisely because I've known you for that long that I am comfortable saying it, homie.

Agreed, mate.

Great example!

The fact that people are succeptible to that kind of manipulation via the press is because these gouls start by manipulating the press!

There is an interesting form of hope that can flourish once skepticism of capital T Truth and capital M Morality is accepted. It's not pragmatic but (nowadays) it is an important exercise when examining our world.

This is indirectly addressed in #Niezsche Human, All Too Human. Worth the read

I remember when I first realized Pinker was more interested in making claims than searching for truth (in an extra moral sense).

I can't abide by his positivism nor his attempts at building a flase picture of the human being.

Ty for the share!

Oh, such a wonderful book.

This my guy right here.

Dear Men,

Contrary to historical precedent, shit ain't always gonna go your way. Get over it.

If you have to be led by the hand to the conclusion that a genocide is happening as t the hands of Israel then you aren't a serious person and there is something deeply wrong with you

#Israel #genocide

Ottawa Hospital's partnership with Israel's Sheba Medical Centre means complicity in genocide and the deliberate murder of medical personnel by a foreign government.

Leadership at the Ottawa Hospital will forever be soaked in the blood of innocent civilians.

They gon run of sharpies soon with all the bullshit. Their handwriting is garbage too

Pretty soon all economic and jobs data released by the federal government will be handwritten with a black Sharpie

If you believe in and understand the concept of human freedom while staying silent on Yemen, Sudan, Syria, Lebanon and Gaza (not an exhaustive list) then you accept that you aren't free.

You may be okay with that - fatalism seems attractive sometimes. If so, stfu because you have nothing to offer.

Healthy scepticism is probably best. What he says is often the opposite of what he does.

Relief, even for a moment...I get it. Let's hope their relationship eases the pain of these attacks on our economy and sovereignty

The leader of the "free world" is 81 today.

If that isn't problematic to you I have huge questions.

For one, only a handful of ppl could be a good President. What are the chances that person was once caught sleeping on his last job?!? Let's make sure the fuck doesn't die before Palestine is free!

How is the OpenAI board gonna fire Sam Altman just because he gave answers that sounded plausible but weren't actually accurate?

Between their round the clock, high quality coverage of Gaza and the sad fact (among the rest) that their journalists are losing their families in the attacks, Aljazeera is proving itself to be essential in 2023 - framing and naming the atrocities as being the nightmare they are.

Have We Learned Nothing? | David Klion There’s a pervasive censoriousness right now—conservatives denouncing liberals, liberals denouncing leftists, leftists denouncing other leftists—that’s immediately familiar from the days and w...

"I can’t remember a time since 9/11 when emotion and bloodlust overwhelmed reason as thoroughly as they do now, including among liberal elites in media and politics."

Ontario NDP calls for retraction of Hamilton MPP's statement on Israel-Gaza war The leader of Ontario’s NDP is calling on one of its own members to retract a statement on the Israel-Gaza war, which she says was not approved by the caucus.

The Ontario NDP is about to have it's mask off moment now? She made a careful and on point statement about Israel/Palestine and the need for immediate ceasefire.

If WE could stop getting worse...

Don't blame the things. Things are scapegoated all too often. The things are alright. On the other hand, WE have some shit to sort through....

Celebrating the murder of innocents is wrong and disqualifies you from serious discussion/discourse.

Period. Full stop

Great point.

Between the difficulty finding reliable information and the many dehumanizing takes from across the world (focused on hate, resentment, retribution and fear) I'm feeling a bit crazy and like the ground underneath us is turning to quicksand...

It took her 20 seconds but she taught me everything I know...

Like the fellow who wrote the short story, "my lap dances from Trent Lott"

Busy playing Freecell over here with the ER doctor.

Is this an original sauce recipe?

New Twitter is old Twitter but with reduced fat!

Oh...
