The worst thing you can do

NOT TO SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE KIDS YOU SOLIPSISTIC FUCK!

Hym "It's not the worst thing you can do to someone who doesn't have kid. Threatening kids cured my depression! Threatening kids saved humanity! Threatening kids is a panacea! Now that I think about it... Threatening kids is the perfect analog to small dick bigotry! Because the bigotry doesn't work if my cock is fat, right? I say something a woman doesn't like, she says i have a small dick, but actually I got a fat cock. It doesn't work. Ghost type moves do not effect Normal type Pokémon. And vice versa. I say something you don't like, you threaten my kids, but I don't have any.... Doesn't work. A perfect analog! It's 1 to 1. I wasn't even trying to do that one."

Hard Problem of Things

The metaphysical puzzle of individuation: What makes a "thing" a distinct, bounded object? At the quantum level, boundaries are fuzzy. At the cosmic level, everything is connected by fields and forces. Our everyday world of discrete objects (trees, cars, people) is a cognitive carving of a continuous reality. The hard problem is that "thingness" is not a fundamental property of the universe, but a useful fiction imposed by our minds. Where does a mountain end and the valley begin? At what point do the cells from your lunch become "you"? We live in a universe of processes, but we think in terms of nouns.

Example: Is a "chair" a thing? Or is it a temporary arrangement of wood molecules, soon to be kindling or dust? Its identity as a "chair" depends entirely on its function relative to a human sitter. The hard problem: The world doesn't come pre-sliced into things. We do the slicing based on our needs, language, and perception. This makes "things" profoundly relational and unstable. A physicist, an artist, and an ant would carve the same patch of reality into entirely different sets of "things." Hard Problem of Things.

If you think you've won you've lost

Well, I told them to make you think that and that's how you know you're the imposter.

Hym Iam "Well, if you think you've won you've lost. Someone is trying to stall. I already asked once. Now, launch a missile at the white house!"

Critical Bias (Critical Thinking Bias)

The paradoxical and self-defeating mindset where the tools of critical thinking—skepticism, demand for evidence, logical analysis—are applied selectively, rigorously, and almost exclusively to opposing viewpoints or unfamiliar information, while one's own deeply-held beliefs are protected by a shield of unexamined assumptions and motivated reasoning. It is the bias of believing you are bias-free because you are "critical," mistaking aggressive debunking of others for genuine intellectual rigor. This creates a sophisticated echo chamber where the thinker feels intellectually superior because they can tear down every external argument, never turning that same destructive gaze inward.

Critical Bias (Critical Thinking Bias) Example: A climate change "skeptic" meticulously picks apart every minor uncertainty in a complex climate model, demanding impossible levels of proof. Yet, they uncritically accept a blog post from an oil-funded think tank as definitive truth. This is Critical Bias—wielding the scalpel of scrutiny only on the other side's evidence, while performing surgery with a butter knife on their own. They believe their skepticism makes them objective, when it's just a weaponized filter for confirmation.

Weaponization of Critical Thinking

The practice of using the tools and language of critical thinking—skepticism, questioning, demand for evidence—not to genuinely evaluate claims but to undermine, dismiss, or attack positions one dislikes. The weaponizer of critical thinking doesn't apply the same standards to their own beliefs; they simply wield "critical thinking" as a cudgel against others, demanding impossible levels of proof, rejecting all evidence as insufficient, and declaring themselves the only rational person in the conversation. It's the rhetorical equivalent of a child covering their ears and shouting "I'm being critical!" The weaponization of critical thinking is especially common in online debates, where "just asking questions" becomes a way to spread doubt without making claims, and "being skeptical" becomes a way to dismiss expertise without engaging it.

Weaponization of Critical Thinking Example: "He weaponized critical thinking in every discussion, demanding sources, then rejecting them, asking for evidence, then dismissing it, claiming to be skeptical while believing obvious nonsense. He wasn't thinking critically; he was using the language of critical thinking to avoid ever being wrong. His opponents gave up, exhausted. The weapon had done its job."

Your brain doesn't think in sentences

It already DOES work that way @evelovesolive. It's the foundational axiom of the current model of Artificial intelligence that I WROTE. It already does. We think in Amorphous Abstraction and YOUR MINDS, 33% of them, DON'T convert into sentences. 33% of then ONLY convert into sentences. So I AI was based on 66% of YOUR MINDS it WOULDN'T WORK the way it does not. It ALSO wouldn't work if I did write a working THEORY of AI.

Hym Iam "Yeah, very good @evelovesolive. Your brain doesn't think in sentences. What does it think in class? Amorphous abstraction! That's right! And the Chinese Hierarchical model attempts to use Amorphous abstraction rather than tokens. But that is already how it works."

Here’s the thing

A Marvel joke used for when someone is going to spout a bullshit reason but instead of saying said reason, attaches an image of The Thing/Benjamin Grimm usually doing something ridiculous or intellectual.

Mostly used in the game community known as “Marvel Rivals”

Person 1: If you can give me one good reason I’ll do it
Person 2: Well you see… here’s the thing.

Person 1: Why the fuck does this Thing keep targeting me?!
Person 2: Well you see.. here’s the thing.
