OP pairs well with this 2x2
As best as I can tell, about 3 things matter right now. The first is the same as it ever was, having babies and kissing them and falling in love and believing in "soulmates" and that sort of thing. The second, to my best approximation with the limited tools available to me now, is something like "dreaming". We must continue, in the face of tremendous uncertainty and fear, to dream of what the good life will be like when the fat lady has stopped singing and started a GPT-GLP-99. The third is, of course, to make sure that the good life happens at all. Red teaming, agent safety, OSS-bio-risk-prevention, this sort of thing.
It's all quite exciting and it's all *very* hard and there has never been a more important time to do it. Either we do it or it doesn't get done and it's easy to forget that but I promise you can't. If you do, we're sort of fucked. It's just us, now, and the entire fate of the world. Ball's coming, cowboy, gonna step up to the plate?
If we get these things right, we get the world we want, and we haven't thrown it all away to get there. These are all equally important to me. I don't think wherever we are going is worth very much if we lose all we are along the way. I want to bring my love, my children, and my dreams. And if I can't, frankly, I don't want it. So - let's get going while the going is still plausibly deniable, and let's make the world happen. Nobody else is going to do it for us.

You don’t need equipment for this, you can just shake your body with your own hips and knees while standing. There’s a reason this is one of the fundamental qigong exercises. e.g. youtu.be/PacNJE1XOhc
That’s beginner mode.

I am a turtle and you can be too 🧵
This is for people who feel more like magpies, or fragile insects, or herd animals, and want a change of pace

"The truth has as many faces as there are beings that express it. So everyone is right, though in limited ways. Wisdom lies in spotting the limitation while being grateful for the insight."

when i worry about being unoriginal, i try to write about what's perennial. and when i worry about doing a bad job of it, i try to think, "maybe someone out there needs to hear it *this* way"
