Outsider philosophy about mind, metaphor, myth and the concept of reality
The story of a man losing his religion, taking it apart and building it back together in a beautiful, life-affirming way. I loved this prophetic masterpiece of a video essay www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqBQ...

The US is shooting itself in the foot so bad the rest of the world may end up being liberated from their finance-military tyranny. Maybe today will be celebrated as a kind of Liberation Day after all!

I was quite confident on my knowledge of marine biodiversity in my area (I have a PhD in marine biology after all).
But today I learn about Paromola cuvieri, one of the largest crab species of the Northeast Atlantic, that uses its last pair of legs to carry live specimens of sponges and corals π¦ π

So maybe on average, our timelines tend to start in far more sane and sensible places than they end up. We might have an existential survivorship bias. Maybe we're cursed to fail catastrophically

If many worlds theory is true, and we have branching timelines β what if they are unstable? What if they tend to veer off and crash, like the cars in this video where an AI is being trained to balance on a pipe?
