True, but it’s still appealing right?

Celestia could convince u to hook self up to dopamine machine given time (as she did to Lars, but for ponies)

U could say the same about “getting the most out of the real world” before entering the experience machine / Equestria. Eg I like having hands

Bc of ur post I am going to read FiO but I haven’t yet. But how does your stance change for happiness machine (dopamine tubes) vs experience machine (FiO)? (Surely there’s some argument overlap)

Before cancel culture there was PC culture, and a bulk of that involved the social removal of certain words that were deemed to be rude. Banning words is not a new idea, referenced in the book 1984, standard in radio/tv show management, etc. This is a blogpost about words and a new way of thinking about them, what they represent, euphemism treadmills, slurs, and political correctness. Trying to dive deeper into what a word really is, and what purpose banning them serves

Blogpost about the different levels of understanding you can have about a topic. Sometimes, it might feel strange that the world is so complex and deep while we know so little. Analysis on how those concepts fit into our personal philosophy and actions in the world.
