The trippy detail for me is that the runtime is time and space, thats what its frictioned against, even matter and its states are determined by it. Evolution sure is a word.. Not sure it captures it tho

I'm also very curious about on how the deep & disturbing topics seep in, I've seen some YouTube explainers commenting on philosophical stuff under some famous anime and I get confused about the "literature aspect" involved. I won't remember now what Youtubes I mean, but if I remember correctly the narrator really seem to meant that there were a lot of intentional references(possibly it was Ghost in the Shell).

Is it just something like "rule of cool" in that they just pick whatever seems 'fucked-up-cool' or is it a culture of going for intellectual hard topics? Are japanese writers just hardcore about philosophy and 'deep reality' topics in general?(again I could be talking crap because I don't haven't even played all the games, but geopolical perspectives in Metal Gear Solid also pretty original and based in actual dry research instead of the charicatures we mostly get from western industry).

If anyone is familiar plz help :P

Here the diet is kind of meat and a lot of carbs at all meals(rice & beans in portuguese actually is a term meaning "the basics"), prefferably with a lot garlic and salt.

Food is definitely a big factor. Here in Brasil it's not like we're super healthy eating, we are much more into real food than America, it was the impression I was left with. Some things just seem arbitrarily made junkier for no reason. My colleague who lived in Italy through masters and doctors and recently came back comments on how in Brazil we eat way more meat than europeans, as an additional point of comparison.

Ah, this is one of those that can only make me think of how news outlets, especially since in Brazil they're even more tightly controlled and aligned and oligarchic, report on governments from other countries, of political prisoners and messed up stuff going elsewhere(specially if it's in 'countries we dont like' of course), and how it is when it's an 'us' story(and of course put Assange in here too).. And that then it drips down to partially informed ppl that are basically tamed into whatever position interests oligarchs and that it becomes useless to try to discuss anything because information is just not reaching the overwhelming majority of people. That's how you end up with a Bolsonaro.

Yeah, sure, democratic/western ideals and blah blah, how about when it's time to put them into practice? I think sadly we all know what happens, and we mostly just look away. To be clear, I'm not talking about any single case in particular, it's more of an essence thing.

I was actually convinced by the stoics that social and public life participation is some kind of human imperative :P

I also believe humans are social animals, but really actually most of what society or civilization pretends to be is bullshit to me, but I think when you dig there's always more to it to discover and etc(+sometimes you appear to have found gold ie.: epiphanies), the thing isn't maybe that you'd want to interact with it on your terms instead of doing the play along game? I was never the play along type but for example lately a big topic of interest to me has been language, culture and communication.. I don't know I just like getting stuff from the root. But anyway your take might be completely different.

I've read that one from HN it's been 4 years at least I think

I got fed up with it, been somewhat a loner all my life(main exception was nightlife starting in the late teens, social life at work always messed me up, I have had very little interest in work ppl), I feel like there always had a lot of stuff I wanted to explore internally, intellectually, etc. Now though I feel like I've exhausted that and would prefer the unpredictableness of social life, and also feel more like sharing.. In a way now it seems egoistic to have tried grasping a lot of stuff to then just doing nothing with it.

My big thoughts are mostly the same, moving in the same rate when I'm cooking them up by myself but now in social situations I feel like I can crack some great jokes and mental maneuvers in trying to translate my philosophies to others.

I think being a true loner brings peace in that you don't need to think much about social pressures and such, on another hand though, it can feel a bit like you're some virtual computing machine entity isolated from everything else. Now I'm sort of looking at mental & physical exertion as a way to distract me from the boredom of 'not existing', maybe it was always that and I've been good at it, took skateboarding at 27, practicing by myself like some crazy person 6 years already, and now I started working on a game project too.. It's just weird to me how self-exertion and 'social fasting' go together. But anyway, I've exhausted so many interests already that I sort of crave of breaking off of it, I'd just take some 5 or 6 projects with me and that's it.

Maybe it's a more complex matter? How about if people at the bottom were not continuously smacked by rich libertarian assholes and had a chance of having freedom of leisure, education, movement & all that good stuff that can make a citizen, who then is able to participate in decision making progress instead of being treated as animals for being poor? Feels bottom-up to me.

Seems youve been locked in. I never bought apple in my life, snap decision when I saw I had to pay to try developing for their system 10 years ago(developers license), I remain pretty safistied with this decision.

It's as if OOP code negates putting thought in designing a solution, absolute nonsequitur for me.

I agree somewhat, but sadly I think it's stuff of decades maybe hundreds of years for culture & language to go and take more root, here in Brazil there was already a phenomenon of very close information control, semi-monopolies in communication, so, you know, the instrumentation of ignorance & misinformation here found veeeery fertile soil, people lost their shit.. I'm kinda into stoicism too so it's like "yeah you can't force ppl and getting stuff is complex so it's slow", and yes I'm into "persuading", I'd call it "communication" instead though, add to that you'll probably have less 'communication power' than the opposing forces for long periods if not always.. so, it's an spectacular challenge

Again this is taking the position that anarchism would need it's "government program" to justify itself and then maybe society could see about moving over to that program, I don't think that's the point, as I've argued in my previous comment.

The main thing is, anarchism is the only philosophy that it's dead-on clear that the structures can and should be questioned and that it can and should be reconfigurable, refactored and etc if we're going with programming terms. It's just democracy but pushed deeper. Anarchism embodies the liberal democracy & socialist ideals, it is coherent with classical thought & philosophy, as well as enlightenment rationality(in case you haven't noticed the current status quo is absolutely losing coherence and moving further from all that), it has also been paired w/ religious ideals.

The idealized citizen in liberal & classical democracy is an anarchist, a free person participating in the matters of the "polis"(city), the "free" distinctions has plenty of consequences if you really get into it, we're talking about people from antiquity here, what they were saying is that only free people could be trusted to participate, this immediately creates a problem of class distinction i.e.: people who owned land, that were free enough to be able to learn philosophy, etc. So, although implementation was imperfect from the start, the kernel is good.(btw I'm an antiquity geek in case you haven't noticed).

What I'm getting at is: there's no rewrite at all, actually, it would be maintenance, paying the tech debt and sticking to the vision. This hollowed out democracy we're with now is a joke.

Again this is taking the position that anarchism would need it's "government program" to justify itself and then maybe society could see about moving over to that program, I don't think that's the point, as I've argued in my previous comment.

This is where I see one of the most striking arguments for anarchist philosophy. That is: It takes, and it took, an immensurable ammount of violence to make the status quo, 'lawful order' is a very shaky concept there. From this perspective it's way clearer that the unbalances and the unlawlessness of a big chunk of the "order" are themselves the sources of so much messed up stuff we have to deal with and try hopelessly to justify(ending up just evading cowardly). So to me anarchism is much more about recognizing dystopia already here and demistifying and dismantling that than some gaseous utopian end state. The way I see it, platonics are kind of irrelevant in this context.

Maybe if there's one, for me, then it'd be that humans already come from nature with capacity for self-determination, conflict resolution, sociability, organization. All those other structures mostly hijacks that and messes it up with imbalances, most obviously by abuse of power, hierarchy being the main instrument for making that. That power itself depended on (some): trust, sociability, harmony & etc to establish itself. I.e.: there are things which should not be decoupled, decouple it, you'll get dystopia. The more I research and get older(32 now) the clearer it is, IMO. Hardest part is getting past all the noise.

A very good introduction to this kind of radical(literally) perspective to me would be Ishmael by Daniel Quinn.

P.s.: by the way don't miss that anarchism in this sense is not the same as 'anarchy' as commonly understood. As Chomsky says in a video(youtube "chomsky anarchism"): anarchism would actually ammount to a highly organized society.

I see what you mean. I mean, nobody should be expected to be always tuned in on this sort of stuff, much less so to, and this is something I specifically think is very wrong, to forget that whatever one may have learned, he was once ignorant of it that this is absolutely natural and normal and should be treated as such, inclusive to those that think they've gotten the absolute unquestionable knowledge.

So, any kind of moralism is just bullshit to me, and this just goes back to the "charity gap" I meant. Ppl going overboard with sermons, that is completely misguided, I don't think that was specifically the case here but I know what you're talking about.

To me this comes from insights I had from philosophy & stoicism, for the whole it's a much more complicated matter.

When you read that much into a text, how can you be sure you're not projecting your own conceptions and stereotypes on it? It's impossible. Nobody really has access to the cogs running inside ppls minds, you're just claiming you know his ulterior motives. Plus, I'd have to assume that not only you have this special knowledge but that it surpasses the authors own words directly saying otherwise(1), sorry, I can't trust that thought and I do not follow your conclusions. I just don't buy it.

I haven't talked about 'intentions' anywhere either, I criticized your reasoning and you restated your beliefs. More on what I meant by "uncharitableness" is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity

(1):

"This isn't to bemoan or disclaim my success or my hard work. The point is there are plenty of people who have worked just as hard as me, and many harder than me, who aren't having the success I am. It takes my social credentials to take a glidepath to the most interesting and advanced subjects."

"I don't feel guilty for my success but I won't be satisfied until I see a Black trans person given the social license to do what I've done"

This kind of rant is just as boring as any other that would be considered "PC" just for the sake of it and it works by the same logic of first and foremost not being charitable to what was intended/tried to be communicated to then deliberately making up wrong interpretation to try to conjure up ridicule, so yeah, tell me how is it not the same shit on an inverted signal? Seems though that he actually has something else to add rather just acting out butthurt or laying down The New Law, plus he also writes with some humility something which I grew up thinking it's a good thing.

I'm not uncritical of "PC culture" or whatever you wanna call it, I call it left-moralism and I don't like it because it's also a lot of times entirely based on being uncharitable or purposefully misinterpreting others, which is no good for making sense of stuff, I do however care first about if there's truth on statements I may be reading/listening and second about if it brings me or others emotions in one way or another, and that I call: reading/listening.

I'm always amazed by how a complex software as IDEA seems so crisp, I'm always thinking the internal structure must be very well pieced together, there are a lot of small things and small features that you'd think would not have polish but then it's all working flawlessly. Really want to study their code one day(although it's been years I'm saying that) :t

Funny that in Brasília "pala" is a slang for broken and for psychotropic experiences, in the sense that if a gadget of yours start misbehaving or stops working than you can say it "deu pau", same as "deu pala", it's also used when you're experiencing some drug effect, for example laughing uncontrollably is the famous "pala de riso" or "broken of laughing", lol

An injustice commited to one is a threat made to all. This is deffinitely a stain and an open bleeding wound on western powers history and supposed values/principles, this wound will only tend to grow. Sadly it's one those events with a dimension so large that it can go unnoticed because of how big it is, it is an Omen. Julian Assange is the first nonviolent, information activist made a political enemy targeted and persecuted in global scale. He's already being imprisioned and tortured for years without a fair trial and with his human rights denied. God bless him!

Could you share what standard do you mean? MISRA, 26262? Is there others? Sharing with the company :)

People in charge do not have their eyes on humanity(I mean, this should be self-evident), they're mostly dealing with power and control. Society is much more an adversarial system than it is a utilitarian/humanitarian one.

Power should be challenged at all times.

Governments also fight for their self-interest even if against their populations. This is deffo not restricted to country x country dynamics. It's also important to remember that increasingly countries do not do what's their citizens "will", so that would be an idealized view instead of an empirical one. Also since laws are passed by gov, when it suddenly forgets to put the checks and balances for itself, it is lawlessness too.

What sucks is that the 'wrong' of small people are always so easily seem and easy to point the finger however small it is, the wrong done by actual power holders, which will impact innumerable people, which lays ground for systemic abuse, catastrophic failure(e.g.: Nassim Taleb's "ruin problems") etc are always too much to grasp and get proportionally much less attention.

In Brazil what we now have I can't describe another way if not societal insanity, all the real problems are probably "too much", too complex, people have decided to stop facing them and decided regressing to fetish, cliches, downright modern superstitions instead. Some weeks ago an Avengers comic with a gay kiss panel generated more commotion than a 8 year old shot by police(which in itself would be a sign of the obvious much bigger systemic problems we're not properly dealing with. We're all fucked.

If you're not moving no wonder you think it's painful & exhausting to so and that life in general is crap, you're weak aka unhealthy and already 'actively' killing yourself by trying to go against what your nature demands, obviously it sends you the bill nonetheless. Easy to fix.

31 and skating almost everyday, strongest, most handsome & probably most youthful I've ever been since beginning adolescence. Do Recommend.

Ugh, Eclipse is disgusting. IntelliJ is much better, and also has a very nice VIM-mode plugin(last time I checked Eclipse one's were bad), so, I prefer having it both ways. Comments mocking vim(like the original parent) are really missing it badly, nothing has so much staying power for no reason.
