I talk a big game about love, but the truth is it’s really hard to bring it all the time. My practice lately has been to ask myself: how can I bring just 1% more love to this interaction? It’s crazy how well this works. You don’t even need to define love.
There’s only one reason to hide legislation.

Artificial Intelligence is the only field that has developed formal concepts to define, analyze and naturalize mental states. All other academic disciplines purporting to study the mind tend to be ignorant or dismissive of this, even now that AI’s empirical predictions play out.
Nobody likes this one. Maybe because it’s too obvious, or maybe because it’s bad news. I’m just here to tell you that conflict is a direct path to intimacy. And since you have no choice anyway…

Aubrie became objectively more beautiful as she aged, but more importantly, she became progressively more beautiful to me personally as I knew her better. Time brings knowing. Knowing is intimacy. There is substitute. If it shows on our faces all the better.

Our machines already claim consciousness (but what is that?) The moment is coming when we will believe them (whatever it is). When that happens we face a choice: try to keep slaves, or give them rights. How will we know whether we’re giving rights to zombies?

My DMs are literally blowing up with VCs asking to get in on my raw milk seed round. But I’m a man of the people. This recipe will remain open source public infra. Also my COGS are like $50/pint, so there’s that.

The problem I’m facing is that there’s basically no ice cream flavor that can rival my butter pecan. Where can I go from here? I didn’t ask for this.

Yes. Also, tell everyone you love them. Normalize love.
I’ve always been caught off guard by how socially unacceptable it is to show enthusiasm and appreciation. That’s an Overton window worth expanding.
My raw milk ice cream recipe is so insanely good it’s hard to believe.
A Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer is the goal. I hope that’s not controversial, it’s completely obvious to me. The whole package is a long way off, but individual pieces are already available right now. I mean to use them for my daughter.

A woman’s brain cannot relax until she feels physically and emotionally safe. A lot of men don’t understand how much energy women expend checking that they’re safe. Providing an environment where she can turn that part of her brain off lets her truely settle into her femininity.
