thinking about how mathematician paul erdos took amphetamines to fuel his work and once a friend bet him $500 he couldn't stop for a month. he did and afterwards complained "you've set mathematics back a month"

if we had video and not just pictures i could start posting music but,,, currently i'd have to post external links which are a million times worse than embedded video. even voice posts would allow me to start doing some fun stuff
there's a depth of discussion that doesn't really seem possible on bluesky yet, or at least i haven't seen it and the momentum doesn't seem pointed towards it. people seem more focused on... finding their people? talking about the protocol and moderation?

a person dedicated to hatred is a person deeply starved of love, a person who does not believe that love exists and has trapped themselves in hell by acting in such a way as to make themselves as unlovable as possible
the most hateful person you’ve ever met was a baby once. nobody is born that way. things happen between being a baby and now to turn people towards hatred and they are all heartbreaking

this reminds me that i always wanted a tool for visualizing the full structure of twitter threads, *including* QTs. it would be a collection of trees where QTs are like warp points from parts of one tree to another. to do it really satisfyingly it'd have to be in 3d i think
