i had this article laying around from this post (actually didn’t know who it was from until i finished) and yea i really don’t like it very much bsky.app/profile/did:... theconvivialsociety.substack.com/p/if-your-wo...

definitely possibly i’m being grouchy and obtuse but the word that comes to mind is captivation, not enchantment, when describing that kind of attention. i understand we’re kinda wanting it to lead to more things like faith and less cold, more imaginative thinking

but i don’t think attention will get us there

one sec i have a meeting

like reality might not be what we think it is, and it certainly doesn’t have to be some dead inert scientistic thing, but that doesn’t imply enchantment, that just implies being more true to truth. and yea the model for attention is fine enough (although it’s left rather underspecified)

that’s what’s spent the largest amount of time on, and not so much the connection to enchantment, which i kinda thought was the main point of the article. it’s just posited and the relationship is left unexplored.

idk it mainly seems like the thrust of the point is “mundane things can be profound” and yea, cool. i don’t see how enchantment is doing much for you here.

“don’t be ashamed to be impressed by the little things” mmk thumbs up emoji

unpinned again it’s bad for me

my week being going so fine then boom 2 day critical turboroom :(

kinda fucked up that you still have to do the speech part of the speech-act

and that describing the intended act in speech is not a substitute

taking a vow to never become elite talent

wait that’s not as impressive or subversive as you think it is buddy

old habits die hard

tech ppl entertain the most silly ideas (not endearing)

lol good god there’s a qan for not naming ai agents and they linked this horrible article that basically directly relates to what this root was in response to

“ai ethics” is fucking bleak rn. adriana placani what r u doing

we’re just plucking random shit out of random literature and asserting things. weird definitions everywhere, random abstractions worm their way in,

cringe undergradcore “dating back to [hume, aristotle, etc.]” like you think you’re strengthening your point by establishing a pedigree but really you’re just embarrassing yourself

“try thinking of it this way”

though i should probably stop directly engaging with futanari observer, the point is that it’s not jonas

also when i reply like that to her i hope it’s clear i mean it like “just go for it, im interested in hearing what you have to say” rather than brow-beating superiority

likes from the mary feed are the only records i would mind having a via field

i should’ve brought a blankettt

hm i’m always just slightly incorrect

this right here is my pretty boy swag

if it were that simple, she would have done it already!

what kinda mood am i in lmao what am i doing

wow my day was more tiring than i thought

i wanna join vc i think

but i gotta be mindful of energy

exposed to sunlight and i immediately have a headache

yay today was nice, it’s gonna be a dark week bc officemate is gone yippee

i’m just so much more productive

how i learned to stop worrying and get good at my job

now deleted

god that really hit though, so raw

it hit both for the bar itself but also in the context of the meaning of that post and my recent life, like post-willow has been feeling more actual but less thought about. the asexuality interpretation fits too tho lol

also *practically* actual

as in like both the practicality sense and the “roughly, not quite there” sense which makes “become” (past tense) even more crazy

incredible post all around. i made lots of sense of it

i don’t know if i should be approaching hegel so personally, as so down to earth and practically concerned, but it’s just so exciting

though i also see the tension of “being less thought about” and “thinking less about others” being an impediment to my actuality, which is a lovely twist

developers are so cool, i wanna reply to emails in one barely grammatical sentence like them

emc2 takes like 3 hours to update itself

i should write something about the significance of the similarities between the cyclical processes of schizoid compromises in psychology and problematic situations in pragmatism and what they can learn from one another

this post is that writing

i haven’t cried in a while, nice to know my heart still has weak spots
