“I have learned a lesson as old as time itself. Bow before my greatness.”

@self The word “gave” is doing a lot of work in that quote.

@Amoeba_Girl @dgerard Sometimes I think there’s a goldmine of comedy to be had laughing at these eugenics types having kids and slowly realizing they aren’t rich like Musk and Grimes and have to care for these humans. Then I remember that isn’t funny at all, it’s extremely upsetting.

@sinedpick @self Just referring to your comment (haven’t watched the video) I completely agree that there is a view among some crowds that psychedelic experiences have moral and psychological benefits in and of themselves. Which is definitely not the case, and can lead some people to some real bad places.

@dgerard How in the world can anyone read anything like this and get to the end, much less respect the person who wrote it?

@naevaTheRat @dgerard People criticizing rationalism aren’t suggesting we can’t understand things, but we do often suggest we can’t understand everything, or even some of the specific things rationalists claim to understand.
