i dislike every step of the canned dialogue tree that begins:
"ai is being used for x thing, skirting existing norms of responsibility, and this is bad"
"this is good actually, this could lead to the reduction in having to do x"
idk it's just always too narrow and stupid. what kind of institutional structure could produce x as a reasonable demanded activity and why do we have any reason to believe that ai performance of x would alleviate those pressures, even if adequately performed (big if in the short term)
it's honestly pretty cool that kasey isn't interested in some aspects of my life because then it means i am forced to work out how i want to confide in others
taking the liberal democratic + capitalist mode of production as given, i think pete buttegeig is basically my ideal candidate, besides maybe the military stuff
but like he's just so boring wonkish evidence-based socdem technocrat-pilled and the thing is, at least in terms of long-term economic efficiency (incl. intra- and inter- national externalities), that's basically as good as you can get
that sounds absurd on its face but like i did share this romantic view in the unadulterated everyday and the method of expression that dealt in inexplicit reminders of the everyday which more rigorous thought would ironically obscure
even when i didn't explicitly endorse it (and sometimes i did, to some components at least), it was an operating principle of mine. and i would react very coldly to critiques, but characteristically just by avoidantly turning away to other thoughts instead of rejecting the rejection
pragmatism and linguistic philosophy and nonmoral ethicists are just not what i want or need right now. i won't run away from their influence but it's all so tiring and my engagement with it was self-destructive
it's not even a metaphor when i say that my skin feels electric or my eyes are full of brightness or my heart skips a beat, i react so strongly when im with her
honestly i think this is just the result of having a sexually interested relationship alongside enough comfortability and mutual respect to be able to talk openly with her. before others i was able to be more directly to her and while initially i think this was the result of some fed-up emotions and
a lack of care for what might come of the relationship, the resulting conversations actually made me respect her a lot more and get into her headspace. it's sweet and special and i like that no one has to get it but us
it was really hard when we had to be public and when we had to make ourselves understood to roommates and partners and we manage a lot better when it's just the two of us
