  • you seem to not be taking the piss, so i’ll clarify.

    Because humans only produce like minded offspring, incapable of forming their own thoughts opinions and values. There has never been political tension between generations over schema shifts that also don’t happen.

    the non-sarcastic version of this sentiment shouldn’t be so easily confused with “racism has been defeated”. racism clearly hasn’t been defeated, i wager it will never be defeated. that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do our best to correct wrongs of the past.

    if you’re denying that there’s social progress and positive change with every new generation i don’t know what to tell you.

















  • i read this somewhere, and i can’t recall where now, but it anecdotally feels very true:

    as soon as you tell someone about something you’re working on but haven’t finished yet, you get a premature dopamine hit. for some reason, that messes with the reward centre in your brain and makes it less likely to actually finish the fucking thing, like you’ve already sucked the juice out leaving an empty husk. so, my secret to finishing programming side projects has been to tell no one of them until they’re ready. this is heavily paraphrased, i know nothing.
