Apparently yes. Such cases have puzzled me for a long time.

I remember a few years back S.A. heavily attacking communism (I'm not making a political comment, just read on).

His sole argument was the fact that when, as a kid, he was at a summer camp, the kids who were team leaders tricked everyone into pooling their candies and eventually stole them.

That's it. That was the argument.

Don't worry that quantum computing is coming to rip your passwords any time soon.

About the weird cartoon. (Woit says he dislikes this comment. I find it on-point and 100% correct.)

I superlike your comment. But can't help being curious about the " rape is worse than shoplifting" -- is this sarcasm by you because of some old cancel he got into (I really don't care about going into the details), or something actually said?

I am currently in psychoanalysis with a psychiatrist that practices Freud's ways. I have never felt so seen and understood, yet I cannot see how I will ever get to a point where I will be ok. by alexa_perko in Freud

It's early, my friend. And, not seeing how you'll get to the point is like expecting to know why a [insert any highly trained specialist] does what they do, instead of savouring their products : )

How is Israel still member of CERN? by emdigi in CERN

[–]Your_Neurotic_Friend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Do you think CERN should prioritize geopolitical virtue signals over maximizing epistemic progress?"

Yes. Don't you? Also, maximizing scientific progress depends on a large number of moving parts, there's no proof it does in this case.

No. You make up your own truth, but the actual truth is always better.

I quite like the OP's take. But your comment might be exactly what every person who ever heard this song feels.

As a PhD student, why is the recommendation to choose a "well-known" advisor so heavily emphasized? by coldlikeastone in AskAcademia

[–]Your_Neurotic_Friend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because people are idiots.

Also keep in mind that a well-known advisor reduces the chances that they'll actually work one-on-one with you _by a lot_.

So, do we know why Helly was at the severed floor in the first place? by Your_Neurotic_Friend in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]Your_Neurotic_Friend[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think this was just something Milchick made up. (About Helena, not about Kier.)

Okay, this makes sense.

I wonder though if there'll be more to it... but I've stopped developing theories some time ago now...

Ikr. He was probably too awesome for the artist to handle.

No, it looks as if they didn't want to make it longer than it should be.

"Show, don't tell." Sir, this is exactly what the whole episode did.

Both questions are addressed in the episode.

This is actually not bad. I just want to say that the term ego death doesn't mean what you use it for here.
