Did you read the subthread you are commenting on? The GP of your post, jatora, was literally arguing against that point. Right there. Is jatora "nobody"? Or are you illiterate (on top of belligerently having no taste)?
It also feels a bit like Sam Kriss, if you know him. Some of his writing: https://samkriss.substack.com/p/five-prophets His biography is quite interesting: https://halupedia.com/sam-kriss
Cool! I'm curious about the design. Maybe you have a "how I did it" post coming soon, or something. One question: Did you find away to get some convergence, where a newly generated page will tend to cite pages (or…
Love it! It feels very Borges! Feature request: also be able to click on the Talk page to see the controversies. I don't always want to trust the article itself as the final word. Edit: Oh look, there's an article about…
Correct. I was making a joke, and hoped it would be clear. > snidely-whiplash-esque I do hope this whole thing ends with someone saying "curses, foiled again!"

There's a boundary between knowing vs. forgetting that it's a metaphor. When you use convenient language like in your examples, you tend to remain aware of the difference, or at least you can recall it when asked. When…
It's educating you about economics, exactly as advertised, what's the problem?
I'm reacting to the supernatural claim -- this lottery in an antechamber before birth. The commenter had likely absorbed that claim from the culture, without ever realizing it could be questioned. (That's how all…
Yeah, but we won't really know for sure until he sells some of the genesis block.
This is slander! I am not an ex-art student! :) I would agree that "it's not my bag" is a fine thing to say about some art gallery piece that fails to inspire you, but when a statue is foisted upon the public square,…
Thanks for drawing the distinction. For the record, I do not think Banksy is a hack (noun), and he has done good stuff in the past. I'm merely saying that this piece under discussion is hack (adjective).
It's only "for no good reason" if you think art doesn't matter.

Sure he can. Both of them have flags, and all flags are bad. They blow in your face and make you dumb. Why can't world be less dumb? So many dumb flag people. I do art.
> the fact that the flag is unadorned (which/whose flag is it?), and the man is unknown, makes me think this statue could be the ultimate Rorschach test This is part of what's obvious. The whole thing, including this…
Yeah, I think you're right. It's like when you ask it, "which weighs more, 10 pounds of feathers or 100 pounds of rocks", and it's like, "obviously they both weigh the same, I've heard this one". There are totally some…
What he had in mind. I have no clue what the suggestion was.
> Claude Opus 4.6 insisted on Elizabeth Sandifer Off-topic, but this guess was hilarious. Like, all the other wrong guesses were people like Yglesias who are maybe half a degree removed from Piper herself, in her same…
Absolutely not! > How would it read? Sounds like you don't really care for this idea, so maybe just have Claude write it for you.
Holy crap, I only just saw your license agreement. Oh no. We've argued on here before, although this time we're in agreement. Please don't use this hidden license to dox me! (It's an unenforceable joke, right? There's…
Caring enough to put in the effort of thinking and writing is not a "tangential issue". Laziness is a substantive defect, and sadly, I think that kelseyfrog has clocked this one correctly. There are borderline cases,…
And all we got was this wide-ranging essay that introduces about 140 different characters.
What a fun little essay. It takes a lot of skill to write such a nonlinear story of ideas and history, and to have the structure and the actual point emerge gradually like this. It also takes some attention and some…
