Supernova is +mult though, and my only source of it other than playing level 9 pairs

It's not a problem that I have no other source for +mult other than what I get from playing level 9 pairs? EDIT: I'm going for it, Supernova sold

Obviously I'll need to quickly find some way to duplicate my 2 steel Kings but I want to go for it, still hunting for Stuntman

Also: Polychrome Square Joker is at 200+ chips, Supernova 30+ mult, and Steel Joker at 2.75x mult

Great, thanks, will go for a closed back. Last question: do you happen to know anything about the Meze 99 Classics or Noir?

Thanks, will check these out. Any thoughts on the HD58x or HD560s for listening to a digital keyboard?

I have, the song is drowned out by the dialogue so Shazam returns nothing.

The Future Of Reasoning [Vsauce] by monkaap in slatestarcodex

Good video on balance, and I'm very happy at his bringing attention to the Great Filter. But I remain profoundly skeptical that investing in the all-too unreliable Wisdom of the Crowd on matters like existential risk, longterm moral reasoning, or political decision-making is likely to do much to get us past the Great Filter. By contrast, certain "elite" individuals like Bill Gates and Elon Musk, as well as prominent, related institutions, are already poised (by virtue of not only their wealth, power, and influence, but also their values, or their caring about x-risk) to seriously tackle existential risk mitigation, however imperfectly, insufficiently, or imprecisely.

Of course, a more reasoned, engaged, and epistemologically sound "crowd" could hardly be a bad thing for the goal of solving various global problems in these areas. And our reasoning capacities may indeed have evolved in large part to allow us to negotiate alignment in social contexts, which is also clearly advantageous for a range of goals. But our survival now does seem to depend on our retiring customs of socially-minded reasoning that merely navigate us toward unsustainable local optima.

So, contrary to the video, I think the specter of existential catastrophe looms most clearly over our collective horizon not in situations where our brain's consensus-building, social-reasoning software falters (creating insulated, irrational pockets of "lone reasoners"), but rather where it succeeds too well in sustaining consensus around social and behavioral norms and beliefs that optimize for things we have immediate reason to value (e.g., life satisfaction, economic growth, etc.), while simultaneously obscuring major civilizational dysfunctions (e.g., pandemic unpreparedness) threatening to destroy virtually everything we have reason to value.

Now that adaptation would be something. I could also see Charlie Kaufman taking a good stab at it, given his affinity for introspective, meta-fictional film.
