there's something to be said about the inverse relationship between how efficient and optimized content delivery algorithms are and how terrible content searching is. I can have a perfectly tailored post show up in my feed with no way of ever finding it again. an ephemeral, transient library.

sometimes I want to use the phrase 'as an empath' but I don't, because I know how it will make others feel

Watched LanguageJones (no relation) review of Algospeak. He really undercut any of his legitimate criticisms with several weird bad faith jibes. Insinuating that Adam thinks jews control the media makes Jones either a malicious or stupid reviewer.

the post credits scene of history will probably be something like Laozi walking into a furniture store to ask the guy at the register if he wants to do one more job only for the camera to pan to reveal Jesus standing there with the screen cutting to black just before he answers.

idk if i love wisdom. I have a crush on her. maybe I'm a bit smitten but I'm not ready to go steady or give wisdom my letterman jacket.

everyone smarter than me has their head in the clouds. everyone dumber than me just does rhetoric and sophistry. it's tough out here being the only real lover of wisdom.

friendo has absolutely attained the Will to Power but instead of wanting to commit the perfect murder he's committed to pulling off the perfect surprise party.

i kinda understand the neurotic displayed anxiety and grief of the proto-YHWHists around not worshiping graven images. cause if someone made a stuffed animal of friendo after he died as a means for me to cope with his loss the obscenity of the sight would cause me to stone someone to death probably.

making dogs was one of humanity's best achievements. we demonstrated to ourselves that if you're kind to an angry beast for long enough you can turn it silly and gentle.

the concept that German Shepards are a better exemplar of dogs as a whole than some dopey ass hound is the most purely ideological claim I've ever heard.

predicate modification is such a hacky work around. I refuse to allow it into my semantic theory. I don't care. sentences like "that is a big red dog" should be uninterpretable actually.

working on a thing that lets you define a linguistic structure as a graph, add some constraints (like parts of speech, or specific lexemes), then search a corpus for that structure. the example here is to perceive somebody/something doing (always with "-ing") something.
a graph interface with three nodes created, called perception and perceived_action and perceived_entity. they are linked together and each node has a few constraints listed. the header is Query Definitionsearch results containing the first three of 14 results from a corpus of alice in wonderland. the three results include the detected sequences "...to see if she was going...", "....to see what was coming", "heard something splashing..."

just saw ASL captioning that displayed the words in the sentence in the order they were signed and it looked really cool and kinda wish this would be used more for dubbing or captioning to get across the differences between the translation and the order of the signing.
