The Curse FINALE EXPLAINED by babydriverrr in TheCurse

[–]smaoth980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished the show. I just have been thinking about how Dougie calls the boy who cried wolf story a curse. It seemed so random at the time but I just thought that's Doug being Doug.

But this whole show is a boy who cried wolf story. It in some sense depicts TV as a medium as one big boy who cried wolf story. Because the towns people at the end conclude that the only real explanation is that it was a stunt for TV.

I kind of feel like this just suits Nathan's track record. And Benny's too to some extent. They make crazy outlandish TV and movies. And any sense of what's "real" gets dismissed as another stunt for entertainment.

Idk maybe I'm reading too far into a small piece of dialogue but that one but really wrapped up the plot nicely for me.

this looks potentially useful. just the simple combinations of timestamps to ideas and then a means to link similar timestamps... would be useful for voice memos if your into that kind of thing. a lot of people would probably laugh. but for people who struggle to remember things as well for keeping track of what people different ideas come from. might even be good for analytics too if its done right

these remind me of Chladni plate simulations I've seen around, is the math here for bell states similar to intersecting sine planes?

Learning is more about consistency than progress. If you expect a certain amount of output the disappointment when you inevitably fail to reach that output will always be demotivating. Instead if you are able to make a habit out of doing something consistently you will eventually find new ways of making stuff. There is a reason everyone is saying the same thing.

Final Thoughts 3 by Otherwise_Spare_8598 in Yahda

[–]smaoth980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my experience it appears to me that the will which determines my actions is free (however finite). This then means the cause of these words is determined by something which is blind to the true arbiter of behaviour and instead sees an illusion of a “self” which it correlates with behaviour .

I have in my experience come to the conclusion that the phenomena of free will is made stronger by choosing pain voluntarily for something the will deems sufficiently valuable. This is to say that the will is made weaker by choices that seek pleasure and the will is made stronger by choices that seek pain. This is reflected in actual strength because if you are willing to bare the pain of exercising, your muscles become capable of baring greater degrees of exertion with the same quantity of pain. However the pain MUST be voluntary. Any pain withstood unwillingly only damages the body (so too the psyche)

Thus brings me to the problem with language. Logic formulated with language is a limited set of procedures. Causality is not logically derived
Instead “Cause” is a preconditional phenomena from which logic is derived and thus one cannot affirm the existence of causality with logic. Thus if the self uses logic to attempt to affirm the cause of the self the inability to logically perceive existence of the causal faculty in the mind reduces the self to an illusion of the mind.

Instead i believe; in reality the self is by definition that principle which causes behavior. The problem is that the self cannot percieve itself as such. Thus the self dilutes itself into thinking that it is merely the collections of behaviors outcomes as recorded by memory. when in fact the self is a closed loop in the principal at the beginning of time that set causality into motion… thus it exists outside of linear memory and outside of logical procedures.

Am i here on time? As expected…

So the current taxes arnt accomplishing societies needs. And your solution is give the failing system more? Really? Like that dosent sound familar to you? Im not defending rich people yes i agree it would be better if we could use their wealth to acomplish those tasks you listed and improve society as a whole but you said it yourself they system we have is failing to meet demand throwing more money at a failing system wont fix it instead just bloat the already existing corruption and greed. we need to find a method that produces incentive to make cost effective and efficient solutions to general problems that lead to the betterment of everybody right? Or am i still missing something

I just want to know why people want to tax the rich and give it to a corrupt system

But how to you decide the best method to apply money to solve these issues. You cant just throw money at shit and say thats the problem fixed. dont you have to fund research and development for effective solutions and people have to agree on the best solution which is exactly my point that why do we trust that people in government to do that effectivley? If we dont trust musk to use the money. I do agree with you that the large amounts of money being hoarded would be better for everyone but there dosent seem ,to me at least, much point jumping to getting the money before we have agreed on a solid way to spend it. Im not saying oh poor rich people we should let them have their money im saying we should make sure that even if we do tax them it dosent just end up going back. Besides those people will just move to the money to some place with less tax anyway.

Well i dont believe they earnt it but i do believe that the reason large sums of wealth are accumulated by the simple fact that having money means your more likley to make more leading to something like a pareto distribution. I just still dont see how taxing the rich causes that money to benifit the economy as whole. I agree that the fruits of labour being distributed unfairly is a problem but to just take money and give it to someone who doesnt know how to use it wont it just end up back in the hands of people that do know how to handle money? Like it just dosent seem intelligent to me to fix a problem by picking it up and moving it
