  • you’re not getting the full picture. you’re not… “playing”. you’re there and you’re living that experience first hand. you can’t possibly explain it with words. when you see the videos of those people freaking out because they’re walking a plank on top of a skyscraper, it’s not like you’re “playing” to be walking a plank… YOU ARE THERE AND THE PLANK IS UNDER YOUR FEET. to your brain, that’s as real as it can get.





  • I know we all are in rage about reddit’s fuckery, but this says nothing about the state of the website.

    we already knew reddit was not the objective truth or wikipedia, but mostly an echo chamber. incrementing the check on the information objectivity will NOT hamper reddit’s growth. we’ve already seen other social media thrive without the weight of fact-checking or their intended purpose (facebook, instagram, I’d dare to say the new twitter as well).

    I as all of you would love to see reddit bomb so badly that they’ll all end unemployed and spez under a bridge sleeping with cardboard sheets, but that’s not going to happen soon.

    we should stop looking at how badly is reddit doing, and start watching at how to make Lemmy a better reddit instead.








  • I still remember the first time (as a layman) I studied the details of how DNA and genetics work.

    You usually get the sense from popular science that DNA is just dices rolling and mixing up genes and everything is totally random, then as soon as you start looking up how things actually work, you find out that your body is composed of actually nanobots with some kind of will, or scope actually, that work within your body doing super complex tasks, and that as of today (well, as of when I read that 10 years ago) we yet don’t have a specific idea of how those nanobots move and reach the places they’re supposed to reach.

    our body is an amazing machine, amazing in a way that goes waaaaay beyond our comprehension… I recently started studying the immune system and that’s even more amazing!






  • I read an article on the WSJ just yesterday that said he (and many others in the Silicon Valley) are using psychedelic drugs while working in order to find new business ideas. they are into microdosing (which I’m not against), but they also throw big drug parties according to the WSJ and that might have messed with his mind. That, COVID and the recent breakup upon a narcissistic personality might be enough to explain his total breakdown.
