And the chess videos, the maths videos, the science videos, the economics videos, the archaeology videos…? Whether you are in class or not, you're not allowed a millimetre outside the syllabus. If the syllabus were excellent, this would still be an abomination. But it isn't.

What I really started worrying about today is a near future in which all access to information is intermediated by AIs, able to infer intent and political coding of all user activity, like a librarian reading over your shoulder and denying your access on a page-by-page basis.

You're not even allowed to ask Fable about basic biology questions, let alone anything that could potentially be dangerous.

Berkeley Professor Mina Aganagic: “‘I realized that for students to follow me…I had to start reviewing basic algebra stuff, like fractions.’ The lack of mathematical fluency, Aganagic said, extended even to ‘the meaning of equals in an equation.’”

@lowmegatron It is not widely known that Bupropion also appears to have weak 5-ht3 antagonism, which might contribute to its antidepressant effects. 5-ht3 is a target for ptsd research.

Neurodivergent people love clarity so much because we grew up getting punished by invisible rules.

@pensandpoison I read mostly fiction in my teenage years, Dostoyevsky, Melville, Chekhov, Shakespeare, Victor Hugo, Hemingway, Kafka, Borges, classic scifi, etc. Mostly analytic philosophy & adjacent stuff since my 20s w the rare fiction book every now & then. Not enough time during adulthood.

Final Fantasy VI is another game that's very dear to me that I have played countless times. Shadow has always been one of my favorite characters & if you've played, you know there's a pivotal part of the game where it's possible to lose him forever. One of my best childhood friends growing up, Mike, owned the game & it was through him that I was first able to play it. Mike would always leave the floating continent without waiting for Shadow. It's not as though he didn't know what would happen, because he had a player's guide. I remember telling him to wait & he'd jump anyway. I think he probably did that just to mess with me sometimes. So of course, when I was able to borrow the game & play it all the way through for myself, I waited. I always wait for Shadow, not only because he's a personal favorite, but because I think it makes for a better story when he survives until the end. Unfortunately, Mike ended up moving away. I went to his new house once or twice, but mostly hung out with his younger brother. Mike was about two years older than me & headed into high school, so it was that awkward time of just developing different interests. We basically lost touch not long after that, he ended up falling in with a bad crowd & despite efforts to improve his life, he sadly passed away back in 2013. But whenever I play Final Fantasy VI, I inevitably think about that old friend who just wouldn't wait for Shadow.

I don't get this Tyler Cowen debate on my timeline at all. The man helped shape the dialogue on important issues everyone cares about, did what he liked, didn't play the stupid publishing game (which many "elites" hate!), and just did it his way. Kinda legendary tbh.

Today, Civilization II (MicroProse) turns 30 years old. Published on February 29, 1996, it had been long anticipated by fans who waited five years after the original Civilization hit the market. Little side note for those who argue "but but but it's March 1 today!" -- yes, I know, we didn't have a February 29 this year... so hold your horses :) When I first played Civilization in 1991, I thought I’d never see a better strategy game. Then Civilization II arrived and raised the bar dramatically. Better graphics, improved diplomacy, superior units (goodbye Phalanx vs. Battleship PTSD), more tech choices, deeper gameplay - just what fans of the original had hoped for. It kept the core principles while making everything better. Sometimes I wonder how 30 years could pass so quickly when it still feels like yesterday. So let’s celebrate this all-time classic: happy 30th!
