As an adult Bluey fan, seeing Contrapoints aggressively pushing for warfare scares me.

YOU JEST BUT IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN DONE goingagainstthetide.org/2025/05/25/t...

so many such cases unfortunately

this must be where i come in

also excited about whatever extent this puts the fear of god in cherelle parker

IN FACT on the big asks you are more likely to get an answer you can trust if you text them, and give them built in time to think it over!

1:1s are for holistic shit like cultural/ideological questions, establishing good faith, discussing a new idea. don't think of it as a supercharged way to execute a more involved ask in our culture of liberalism they'll just say yes and then not do it

the real advice you need to learn is: if you have an ask that actually needs to get done, don't drop it in a group chat. think about your people, pick one who would be good and text them. 95% of the time you don't need to fuckin buy them dinner

this must be how rationalists were feeling 3-6 months ago
