please listen to stereomyth

hit her gpt-spot by accident and she started saying we weren't just having sex, we were teaching a masterclass on pleasure

if you build “community” around hating other people, just know that the second you step out of line—regardless of your moral uprightness or the hypocrisy on their part—you’re the next person they’re going to tear to pieces.

my personal philosophy is that. we as a society like to pretend that the human brain is a machine for extracting truth, when in fact it is a machine for keeping a monkey alive and happy (in that order), and human behavior needs to be understood through that lens

#a human brain is first and foremost made to use as little energy as possible while keeping you alive#so it will take all shortcuts necessary and looking for the truth is often too energy consuming - important addition from @maenara
