Shorty said she wants to run away
Says I look like a boy she used to date
Took me by the hand and pulled me to the stairs
(Not interested, girl)
Put her tongue all up in my ear (gross)
Almost made me spill my beer (oh shit)
She's up and ready to go but I don't care
(Pssh, whatever)
'Cause I'm in the zone
Turned off my phone
I've got my own agenda
I feel like dancing tonight
I'm gonna party like it's my civil right
(Everybody get kinda awesome)
It doesn't matter where,
I don't care if people stare
'Cause I feel like dancing tonight
Everybody gettin' kinda crunk
I think some dude just grabbed my junk (whoa)
Now I know how Ke$ha must be feelin'
(Like, what is with everyone?)
Bros tried to turn me upside down
I put a keg tap to my mouth
But that's okay,
I'm dancing on the ceiling (ah)
'Cause I've got the groove
I'll bust a move
Just try and stop me
I feel like dancing tonight
I'm gonna party like it's my civil right
(Everybody get kinda awesome)
It doesn't matter where
I don't care if people stare
'Cause I feel like dancing tonight
Somebody call the police (ooh-ooh-ooh)
I think they're coming to get me
They said,
"You've got the right to remain on the dance floor
So show us what you've got
'Cause you know that you've got more!"
I feel like dancing tonight
I came to party like it's my civil right
(Everybody get kinda awesome)
It doesn't matter where,
I don't care if people stare
'Cause I feel like dancing tonight
Oh, one more time
I feel like dancing tonight (I feel like dancing)

A girl I hadn't talked to in a while just shared with me a batshit insane story about how for two years she was in a relationship with an egyptian midget that tried to convert her to islam, made her cut contact with all her friends, told her to keep the relationship a secret from everyone, did not allow her to go out or to talk to men. She rented an apartment for him and did what he told her. For two years. Then she somehow decided that she had enough and he threatened to kill her if she went to the police. He stopped paying his bills and left her ten thousand in debt. I simply do not understand any of this. I believe that this guy should be destroyed physically and left crippled so he would suffer each and every day of his life, but I don't understand, is it fear? It can't be, they were in a relationship, she liked him, she's not stupid, poor or ugly. Why?

Just another thing to add to my mental library of ungodly evil that I've heard from women about their partners that they still "for some reason" have feelings for, while I get broken up with because they "just aren't in the mood for a relationship right now".

science today doesn't aim to describe laws. We're far removed from intelligible laws of mechanical philosophy, scientists now try to provide theories to describe an unintelligible world. Our ideas of determinism, for all we know, is just a byproduct of our intrinsic models, our innate understanding of the physical world. Modern physical philosophy (and by extension chemistry) does not address our innate grasp of determinism. I have a feeling Chomsky is onto the truth in illustrating that perhaps our concepts of randomness and determinism are innate cognitive constructs similar to universal grammar. Determinism and randomness are basic axioms for our inner models of the workings of the physical world, but the reality of physics is unintelligible to our reconstruction, our conscious interpretation of the world around us. In this sense, it may take physiological changes in our minds, that no doubt necessitate some form of genetic mutation, for us to be able to comprehend this mystery.

The scientific method doesn't have determinism as a dependency. While our models rely on mathematical descriptions of relationships, descriptions that are inherently deterministic, it would be circular reasoning to say "our models that describe reality are deterministic/statistical therefore reality must be deterministic and statistical." My guess is that this limitation is the composition of the roadblock to a universal theory of everything. We cannot comprehend what there could be aside from determinism, but I'm hopeful that one day we will be able to.

"Scientific research is limited to those things that can be measured by physical means i.e. matter and energy."
The mechanical philosophy of Descartes was refuted in the 17th century by Newton. When Newton showed the existence of occult forces, interaction without contact, he made irrelevant the mechanical philosophy. Rather than exorcising the ghost in the machine, Newton rid us of the machine. Ever since, Science has been reduced from trying to find an intelligible world to trying to find ineligible theories relating to a humanly unintelligible world.
"We have no tools that permit us to study non-material entities."
We've known the world to be non-material for centuries. We have mathematical models, many of which are deterministic, but there is, as there always has been, unaccountable behavior and incohesive theories that cannot absolutely coexist. Science does not depend on "determinism" the same way that science does not depend on the mechanical philosophy. We study and search for accurate models, but the world has proven to be humanly unintelligible.
As for whether I "feel" in control and my thoughts on human behavior, I think the question is meaningless. Personal introspection is a futile exercise more fit to be labeled "navel gazing." Neuroscience is certainly a worthwhile field of study, but one would be amiss to say it is humanly intelligible. The fact that we've debunked determinism has nothing to do with "free will."
To summarize what I've been trying to express, we have an innate sense of determinism and we have an innate sense of "randomness" which shape our view of the world. This enables us to construct models such as the impressive works of Descartes, but it also limits us from comprehending the nature of our world. Being reduced from finding an intelligible world to finding scientific theories is significant and cannot be understated. When Chomsky says it's a 'mystery' he is saying so because it is clear that we cannot conceive of anything other than determinism.
Personally I think that "free will" is a concept riddled with problems of undefined and incomprehensible to science notions such as "self" and "choice" which are probably just artifacts of our introspective mechanisms and our need to model our organism within our model of the world around us. Compression artifacts, if you would. However it is abundantly clear that determinism is a false assertion.

Determinism is dependent on the observer’s perspective, surely? For example, if I read a novel I observe the character’s time passing in a similar manner to how they do. Not quite “real-time”, but close enough. Compare that to my second readthrough, in which I know the entirety of the events and can observe them at will - the characters (obviously) will still act exactly as before.

I had a dream where the demiurge was keeping me captive in a small little concrete hole in the ground where I was dreaming of horrors infinitely. He looked down into my hole and pissed on my head. I saw a birds eye view of the place, which was an enormous warehouse filled with thousands of holes in the concrete floor, each one filled with a single naked man covered in piss and shit with his eyes closed, moaning and screaming. Then, out of nowhere, a bunch of explosions' went off on the roof and soldiers started rappelling down through holes in the ceiling. The demiurge drew a gun from his waist but was shot in the head. One of them dragged me from the hole with a safety harness, and injected me with a glowing gold serum which awakened me. He said "You're safe now", and it dawned on me that the nightmare was finally over. The marines escorted me from the warehouse and loaded me onto a blackhawk helicopter, which was painted white and had feathery angel wings instead of rotor blades. I sensed I was on my way back to my true place in God's kingdom; I cried and started hugging the marine seated next to me. He wrapped his arms around me and whispered in my ear "It's all over son, you're going home". "Thank you" I wept, "thank you, thank you..."
I stared out the window onto fields of indescribable beauty as I slowly drifted off from exhaustion...
Then I woke up.

My biggest frustration with tech and software development is how often in the course of solving one issue you fall into a rabbit hole of solving multiple issues just to attempt to solve the task you had at the beginning. The fact of the matter is we don't have the time to understand all our software and what's going wrong when there's a bug - we simply depend on those in charge of the software to understand its complexities and anticipate bugs. And when they don't do this, the ecosystem deteriorates. You're constantly wasting time trying to fix these minor niggles that shouldn't be coming up at all. I wish I could understand at least how we could address this problem, because it's just everywhere, and it helps you understand why OSX is increasingly popular for dev

So here’s a kinda lit thing that happened to me.

I do freelance conservation work for Museums and libraries. Dull stuff really, mostly maintenance on old paper and canvas , as well as the occasional sketch or charcoal drawing, if im lucky . For the last year or so i’ve been working out of Italy, just doing my thing, while trying to learn the language , do what networking I can, and traveling on the off days. As part of said ‘networking’ I was invited to a conference in Genoa and arriving 4 days early and finding the city a bit of a nightmare I took the train to see some of the small towns that litter that coast all the way to Pisa.

Bnb’s and retirement communities as far as the eye can see, except that on the train I got talking to an older man (50- 60 ish) who, upon hearing what It is i do, invited me to his house to have a look at – and at the time I really couldn't believe this – his inherited collection of ‘Renaissance prints.’

Now, there are sorties like this all over the industry: some fucker discovers a lost batch of botticelli studies and it’s sold at sotheby's for 20 million at the next year.
I hope I kept my cool but I was seeing dollar signs, and while we talked before that for an hour or so, mostly on Ukraine, and Russian culture, so I wasn't a complete stranger, the way he said it felt like the pictures were some afterthought he never got around to evaluating. I agreed as graciously as I could, and within a few hours he was driving me up do his extremely nice house in northern Tuscany; vineyards and seaside and all.

By that time I already knew It was most likely a bust, he had them valued, and even restored, ones before, and was only hoping I could dig up something a whole firm worth of people previously failed to do. But it really didn't mater, as the house was lovely and the place was as Italy as any postcard. We got along marvelously. So much so that I stayed for 3 days, only occasionally doing the work, and while that was predictably a bust, he has already invited me back, next month.

Can someone explain to me what “possible worlds” are and how they are real?

>> No.20068003

>>20067961
A possible world is a complete and consistent way the world is or could have been. They are widely used as a formal device in logic, philosophy, and linguistics in order to provide a semantics for intensional and modal logic. Their metaphysical status has been a subject of controversy in philosophy, with modal realists such as David Lewis arguing that they are “literally existing alternate realities” while others such as Robert Stalnaker arguing “no, they fucking are not”.

I’m moving apartments, and I had a bunch of extra furniture that I wanted to get rid of. I donated the first half cause I could tell right away I didn’t want it. But as things got closer to the move in date I realized I wouldn’t have enough time to schedule a free donation pickup, so I just ended up tossing away a few pieces of entirely good furniture. I felt fine about it for a while, but then I saw some pieces still by my apartments dumpster and I realized my laziness regarding them is probably creating a problem for the maintenance and workers at my apartment. Now I just feel bad about the whole thing. I’m not even sure I’m allowed to toss our furniture there so it might not even be there job to deal with it. I wanted the problem dealt with easily, and for me it was, but it turns out I’m just passing off the problem to someone else when I do that. There’s really nothing I can do about it now I guess, I’ll just have to be better next time.

I met a girl through work starting back in October. We’re very close in age, like 2 years, and she’s very pretty. Due to the nature of the job we work very closely together and talk pretty much everyday, mostly job related, sometimes not. And starting a few months ago we started to hangout outside work. She’s really fun to be around, and there have been no romantic feelings for the most part with her.

It’s an odd situation, because I have never really had a girl who is just a friend before, but I can feel myself really starting to like her, and I’m scared those feelings will turn romantic. I’ve only known her for literally 5 months but again we talk so much that she’s become really important to me. I’m not sure if she feels the same, that strongly about our friendship, but I guess that really doesn’t matter. I could profess to really enjoy being her friend and that wouldn’t be taken strangely I’d think as long as I did it casually in the right context, or after we had had some drinks.

My point of writing this is again, I’m terrified of these feelings become romantic and ruining our friendship. I know she doesn’t like me like that, I have clearly been “friendzoned” because she’ll tell me about the guys she’s been going on dates, hooking up with, her sexual history, etc. It really doesn’t bother me because she allowed me to talk about the girls I was seeing and going on dates with as well, as it was nice to get a girls perspective. So while to be completely and utterly honest, I would absolutely fuck her if she wanted to, I just know that chance will likely not happen, and I’d rather it not. Over the course of the months I’ve known her she’s gone on dates and been in the “talking stage” with 3 dudes, and I’m the only guy who’s been there for it all. I saw some quote that says if you really want to be in someone’s life forever you don’t marry them, you just be a good friend, and that’s the route I want to take with this. Blogpost over.

Why is it so much harder to make friends in university? I've always been timid, but in high school I still had people I considered my friends and I never had to seek out friendships. Now in university, I have no one. Not a single person has expressed the slightest interest in me, not during lectures or while I'm sitting alone in university cafeteria.

In high school you're literally forced to be around people, you can't escape unless you hide out in the bathroom. University is the opposite and any time outside of lectures/labs is 100% free. For those of us that have to be environmentally coerced into socializing, this isn't always a good chance.

>> No.20068890

>>20068864
It's not at all, it's actually probably the easiest it will ever be. I'm sure there are hundreds of societies at your uni that you could join to socialise with like-minded people who want to do the same. Why are you expecting people to approach you when you're studying in a lecture, or in the cafeteria when you're minding your own business? That's not how socialising works, those wouldn't be appropriate places to introduce yourself to a stranger. It seems like you haven't practised making new friends in quite a while, but that's ok because uni is designed to help you with that. You just need to actively attend events that are meant for making friends

I have similar thoughts. I realized once I got to university that I don't particularly want to make CAD models and write reports for the rest of my life. On one hand, I enjoy design and research, but I hate sitting at a desk. I don't want to just be the "engineer." I want my technical knowledge to go beyond how things are put together to actually being able to put things together. I want to do something physical. I've never felt proud of a report I've written or a diff. equation I've solved, but whenever I've had to put shit together, I feel a dopamine rush unparalleled by anything else I've had to do in school.

On the other hand, one has to be practical: trades have high potential for injury, are often low-paying, and have little potential for upward mobility, unless you start your own business; as everyone keeps telling me, an engineering degree doesn't restrict you to traditional engineering careers.

I don't know what the answer is - I see my father who, after 20 years of life in a chair, is worse for wear than my uncles who, after decade long careers as machinists, carpenters, and linemen, are still full of vitality.

I've always been patriotic in that sense that I would defend my country if needed. I served my conscription in 2011 and since then my fitness has dropped steadily until two years ago I started to cycle and lift. I also deleted all my social media accounts which resulted in me reading more books and a lot more non fiction.

Now after the Russian invasion of Ukraine the will to defend one's country has greatly increased here in Finland where it already was very high among people. No exceptions with me.

There is some sort of synchronicity here. My fitness has increased and so has my patriotism and now I want to apply in Finnish Territorial Forces, which in short consists of volunteer reservists that actively take part in FDF exercises. And the main requirement for joining is being fit enough.

They actually held an info talk about the Territorial Forces at the end of our conscription and back then it seemed that it was only for military larpers that want to make 40 km marches with combat gear every fucking weekend just for fun. Applying didn't seem very tempting when we were just about to leave long marches behind and return to a normal life.

But now it all makes sense.

This happened to me last summer

On my way to the beach today i saw a girl, maybe 16, with a guitar, on a ridge viewpoint singing probably her favourite song i never heard of. I looked at her with a dose of surprise and amusement. She actually sounded good, and then in the next bar she let her voice go and she sounded incredible. She was paying attention to my reactions, and if she is usually insecure, today was not that day. I gave her a thumbs up and wished i had a phone with me so i could record her. I knew she would be gone when i would be going back, i think it was an unregularity for us two even to see eachother. I was holding back tears when i was going in the sea. Then on my way to the apartment i was thinking why i was crying there. Because i believed that you can love someone so hard that its unhealthy or even impossible for those 2 people to end up together, so people end up with someone who is more convenient? No. What i heard from her was indestructible and ineffable for the right ears, that i wished i had the courage and good luck to express it also. What i heard was a pure teen spirit, a youth, youth that i wished i had.

I’ve never been this bad but I can sympathize somewhat. What’s been helpful to me is going for daily walks. I go very early or very late so no one else is out. The colder, the wetter, the better. The more I walk, the more my mind relaxes. And I’ve started noticing that on the handful of occasions where someone says something to me in the street, I’m relaxed enough to respond normally, and if I don’t I just don’t care because I’m woolking. No idea if this will help you but it’s helped me.

He deleted a joke I made about Yugoslavia the other day which was entirely literary, but also about Yugoslavia. I think he just doesn't read much so the difference between Russian bots and 1930s genre fiction is hard to tell for him. It's fine thought because if mods banned me, someone would have to read my essay on Yugoslavian literature and its impact on the US banking system and genre periodicals of the mid 20th C in my appeal.

My memory has declined so much that attending lectures has become virtually useless to me, since I forget everything I've learned in prior lectures and have to simply relearn the material before any assignment is due. It's weird to think about, I am basically cognitively impaired compared to other students, but there's not much they can do besides offer me more time on tests, since the problem is biological.

I'm pretty sure I am just slightly mentally unstabler right now, and given that it's the kind of thing where it's a bit hard to tell about yourself it uhh............. I mean we're gonna have to wait and see. I've come up with a kind of crossfit thing in a small patch of woods near my home, I just carry this big old stone around as I walk and shift it around a bit as exercise. It's kind of nice actually. But I get locked in these moments where I'm just standing, mumbling to myself. I imagine I'm talking to someone, and I feel compelled to finish what I have to say. It happens that people walk by. I've become the guy who stands in the grove holding a mid-size rock mumbling to himself staring blankly.

Like, actually. This is the situation. It felt like it wasn't going ham, but it's been off for a long time. I was clearly a jibbering mess a couple of months ago, then it got better for a bit and now this. I do NOT want to ask for help.

this morning my breakfast took 3 hours. I ate one slice of bread and drank one cup of coffee. the rest of the time I sat mumbling/talking to my ex, another woman I was in love with for little over a year, and God. It did not feel like this took very long, but I basically sat there mumbling to myself staring out the window without really seeing for 3 hours. It's been roughly like this for about 6 months now. It could be habening again. I really gotta try to think about that. There's no one I want to talk to. I have a contact at the mentalists but I don't really know her and she's a nurse either way, she wouldn't be the person you see.

I'm on my third day of quitting nicotine. Feeling tired all the time which I suppose isn't a bad thing. I'm mainly just bored with a vague longing for something (my brain demanding an easy dopamine hit). I've tried quitting many times but haven't really ever rationalized what the craving sensation is. It has nothing to do with nicotine, it's just a cheap dopamine fix I want. My brain doesn't give a fuck where it's coming from, it just knows it's been getting a regular fix for years now and now it's gone. I had the same sensation when I quit watching porn. The funny thing is once you realize what the craving is, it becomes a lot easier to manage. I don't crave nicotine. I crave dopamine. And I refuse to give my brain the cheap easy hit that it's screaming at me to give it. So whenever I get a craving I sit and read something and feel a lot better.

Alternatively: rank them in terms of material cost.
Material cost is the easiest to research. If you don't know how likley they are to succeed or how long they will take, at least spend the least money on it so if it fails you can spend it on the next one down the line.
By comparison, if you spent all your money on a moonshot on the most expensive one, and then wiped out your savings: you couldn't try anything else.
