That’s why they call it spelling

The irony of the witty. The cleverest of quips. To be more sure of yourself by standing above the rest. For the clever themselves may just find it was the loudest whom made the news that day.

What a breathe Omm

Sales of flipper going up!

Love this, just shared it with 7 close friends who will all appreciate it.

“What a load of horseshit. Say that in the special education class with 8th graders that can't read or use the bathroom on their own, despite the best efforts and attention of their teachers.“ - and that comment right there is exactly what I mean by the world around them always manages to grind out the gifts.. some people never get to see it.

“ Should be noted also that my kids are extremely naturally gifted and generally live in the "AP/Honors" world, so would most likely flourish anywhere. YMMV”

All children are extremely naturally gifted, it’s the world around that always manages to grind it out of most of them. I think that also represents what Montessori was aiming for when re-thinking education.

A lot of peedos out there

For game creation check out bloxels. I used to teach with it in after school programs. Allows me ou to build out great 2D platform games.

No but her brother l337 is biatch!

They are not advertising to sell you weapons. They advertise to get their brand name inside your head associated with positive things.

That’s a dark thought right there.

I thought it was well known that disruptive kids are often unrecognised creative/smart kids who are challenging the authority/leadership of the teacher. There has been some research on this in the UK, look into some of the work by David Price around creative test answers.

Interestingly related, I just used AI image generation to create my EP cover.. first I tried running luciddrains dall e 2 PyTorch implementation using the prompt “death by Tetris EP album cover 2022” unfortunately I am using a Mac Pro so the gpu was not able to work. Then I tried imagen PyTorch implementation and used same keyword. This time it was working with the CPU unfortunately 2 days in we had a power outage so I had something but nothing complete. So I fed the generated image into the google dream generator and got my album cover!

Some of the sentiments on this thread: It’s shit, definitely not Art. It’s decent, what is art anyway. I like it. Modern Artists are elitists.

My take. It’s shit. It’s art. It’s some rich dude and his buds finding meaning so good for them. It’s bland. And it fails to challenge society at large in any meaningful way unless you count not being able to get there to see it easily as an artistic merit. Meh.. Proof of artistic merit or get the frick out!

Maybe try magic mushrooms?

The real interesting tech people you can meet in the dreamscape, deep meditation, dmt, lsd etc, hanging out in multiple dimensions learning new technology from the advanced sentients!

Are you suggesting the CIA pushed lsd/shrooms to alter society in a way that was beneficial for the ruling class, or they pushed society in a direction to ban those substances to keep people from organizing and becoming a ruling class? Or something else?

If you think about it, a lot of the Silicon Valley advancement of the chip and subsequent computer revolution was driven by the early lsd/shrooms advocates. In a way they did become the new ruling class.

Been using demucs for a couple of weeks now, mostly taking my early produced music which I have since lost the project files for and giving them a remix and update. Gotta say I have been blown away by how good demucs is. I installed it following the repo instructions and then created a zsh alias to run it with any file name. Eg $ai_split mySong.mp3

Wait fifteen minutes and out pops four stems, flawless so far, even been messing around with mainstream tracks and using ableton with warp applied to quickly build out remixes. Demucs is going to be /is already a game changer!

Just about finished Dan Shifmans nature of code book - I believe he is re-writing it for p5.JS Definitely worth keeping an eye on.

Exactly, wind and solar are massive environmental disrupters, huge amounts of land and habitat destroyed for small unreliable gains. Nuclear on the other hand is turned into the bogey man of clean energy. Where do all the out of commission solar panels end up? Definitely not as carefully stored as the nuclear waste.

Putting the cult in culture since 6000bce

I think you can leverage your wealth of knowledge and be successful by finding a balance, most of the comments describe how in various ways. The good life, the successful life, all require sacrifice. Think of sacrifice as the scales of your tolerance to succeed.

Find the balance. Not out there. Find it… In there.

Some good points, except the first one. Politicians are mostly not smart. It’s why they go into politics in the first place!

Interesting, Set it to find out for myself

Technology is an alien intelligence communicating through the creative consciousness and evolving itself into our earthly dimension. Jungian archetypes forming in the minds of impressive individuals doing the earthly bidding of inter dimensional ideas!

A chance for us all.

Surprised no one mentioned it. Sugar. If I eat a lot of candy or sweets for example on a weekend, my logical faculties always seem low. Pattern matching and quick thinking is replaced with scatter brain. Booze is a lot worse of course. Weed seems to do other things, can help with creative out the box thinking but sometimes that’s not what you need.

Trampoline in the rain is a lot of fun, We could say trampoline in the rain is dangerous but they pretty dangerous any weather conditions.

Eggcellent, what a cracking article!
