ha, can't get the image of those funny guys running away from waves out of my head now

how do we wake them up?

fundamentalist -> relativist -> relative fundamentalist pipeline

"values are all cultural constructs" - so what, still going to choose to live based on a set of values. i can just be more flexible now when it might be beneficial to myself and others to switch sets

i think it was oprah or someone who finally got me to switch from a reddit mindset of "what an imbecile" to actually consider how it might be true

nice, thanks James

same, every hour after 8 am that I drink a cup I am up another hour past 10 pm. wish i was exaggerating

ha, every time. i feel you brother

another useful question: when confronted with a scenario that i had not previously considered, how quickly do i form a view on that scenario?

two useful questions i ask myself are: 1. am i aware that I am subject to the three i's? 2. am i unbothered by this fact or do i try to correct it these are also helpful scissor statements when talking to others

incomplete in that there are a large number of scenarios they have never thought through inconsistent in that there are blatant contradictions in their views incoherent in that very few of their views have be considered in relation to each other

always knew it was you
