Unfortunately, the Buddha was faster than me, and better at killing than I could have imagined.

I actually do not mind video call dharma talks in the slightest, but let me know what I’m getting into! There’s a big difference in tone between a rehearsed speech in front of a crowd and an informal conversation between two people.

YOUTUBE SIN: uploading a dharma talk with a thumbnail of a teacher talking to a temple assembly and then the actual vid is just a recording of a video call.

This is superior to the average English speaker when saying the word for the first time (and often forever thereafter)

I’m going to become monk version of a dueling ronin by asking every Buddhist teacher I meet to explain the cause and role of disability.

May our past and present misdeeds be purified, may our mouths speak openly and without guile, may we forsake our delusions and our pretensions and the desire for power over others, may we learn to treat out tools and ourselves kindly and with dignity.

Obviously the cynicism is bothersome, but more to the point it made me think about the pattern of deep detail but shallow understanding that AI summaries produce. Previously you would have to read a lot to get that depth of detail! So you wouldn’t make these mistakes, I feel. But no longer.

Normally I wouldn’t really care, but she had a pattern of mispronunciations that really fascinated me. She consistently mispronounced “dharma” as “drama” for instance, which along with other improbable but consistent mistakes started to make me wonder if she had ever heard these words spoken aloud.

I found a young woman making YouTube videos with extremely garish AI thumbnails who was clearly just reading AI summaries of basic topics (things as broad as “what is yogacara” or “who was nagarjuna”).

I can’t say with any force that there is MORE Buddhist AI slop on the internet (mostly because I know that it is outweighed by the Christian AI slop by five or six orders of magnitude) but boy is it depressing to find.

To clarify, I totally think they should keep posting about Nietzsche. I just also think they should maybe read more of him and rely on memes less

The panic you can see set in after a while is akin in my mind to the psychological effects of a knuckleball on a batter. There’s a palpable sense of “wait I had this, what’s happening”

Fastest because ofc none of them have read Nietzsche, he’s antithetical to most of their ideological projects. Most brutal because even through they like to grandstand with out of context quotes, seemingly none of them have even the foggiest idea of what he was talking about or why.

New discovery: getting occult discussion communities in particular to talk about Nietzsche is one of the fastest and most brutal way to establish who has and who has not read Nietzsche.

You may call something “Manichaean” as a lazy insult for “dualist”, but ONLY if you can actually pronounce it imo

It is becoming one of my deepest pet peeves to be listening to a podcast or whatever and the hosts cannot pronounce “Manichaeism”

this movie is simultaneously obsessed with the beauty of Europe and its nobility and also with letting you know that rich people are stunted, vain sacks of shit and you should hate them more

one thing I do remember bugging me even as a kid was that the audio recording is really weird sometimes but now that I know a little more about film I can say confidently: there are some incredibly hairy ADR crimes happening in this production

I don't recall Porthos being a favorite character of mine when I was a kid, but he's sort of stealing the show tbh
Frank Finlay pops out from behind a sheet, chomping the scenery with his huge manic grinPorthos absolutely wrecking a Cardinal's Guard with a big stickPorthos wailing on the guard with the stickPorthos, victorious, holds the broken stick over his head

批判的仏理論 CRITICAL BUDDHA THEORY @max-letters.bsky.social · 19/10/2025
There is not even one wasted frame in this whole film
Porthos, laughing, throws the rock behind himPorthos turns around, still laughing at his brilliancePorthos realizes that his strategy has also forced him to abandon his sword.Porthos looks away from the camera, no longer laughing, realizing he screwed up

批判的仏理論 CRITICAL BUDDHA THEORY @max-letters.bsky.social · 19/10/2025
Never do what anyone expects Porthos, you got it
Frank Finlay as Porthos approaches a Cardinal's Guard to fightrather than fight, Porthos throws his sword in the airThe Cardinal's guard watches the sword while Porthos winds upPorthos decks the goon with a big rock he had hidden in his other hand

No one has ever played d'Artagnan like the hot moron he is with anything close to the gusto that Michael York does
d'Artagnan, early for his meeting, peers at a rotating book displayd'Artagnan leans on the display to read.d'Artagnan slips on the moving bookshelf like the country bumpkin he hisd'Artagnan looking like he genuinely fears the bookshelf will attack him

this movie rules so much
still from "The Three Musketeers" (1973). Michael York, as D'Artagnan, walks into a busy room full of soldiers.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
