Everyone has an education. What that education is is obviously case-by-case

I said education is the accumulation of one’s knowledge. The ability to acquire knowledge is from the DNA algorithm. The inventor of education is DNA. DNA is a stateful thing that changes over time.

I already said—DNA. It’s an algorithm. It’s gotten very far in keeping itself going, don’t you think? The DNA-based tree of life has yet to go extinct after all of these years.

It’s their choice to not utilize their ability that makes them idiots. Idiots have the capacity and don’t utilize it. A person who lacks the ability is literally neurologically damaged. A person who’s educated by a village of dumb idiotic, propagandized, indoctrinated people then what do you think they will pattern match from to the world around them?

Everyone has ability. Knowledge of possibilities is literally the only limiting factor in ability, all other things equal. You can do incredible things if you just knew about it and developed the neural pathways your brain literally is designed for. But you don’t know about them, you haven’t developed the neural pathways for them, therefore you think you can’t do it. But you could if you have the capacity for doing all of it. The only limiting thing, really, is your ability to pattern match, which more things to pattern match against in your brain, the more things you can pull from to learn new things. Someone who can take their knowledge of piano and transfer that to guitar is as ‘intelligent’ as a person who can transfer knowledge from haskell to ocaml or from biology to chemistry or from history to politics.

Name an intelligent person who’s not educated. Just literally one. Education is the only thing an ‘intelligent’ person has. They recall what they know. Their education. I’m not talking about university, I’m talking about knowledge. I don’t care about formal education. One’s education is just their accumulated knowledge. Manifesting accumulated knowledge is intelligence. The only thing I can imagine is ‘intelligence’ is capacity for pattern matching.

A baby learning to cry for food has accumulated knowledge. A feral child surviving in the woods has accumulated knowledge. These are ‘intelligent’ beings no matter their environment. They’re smart as hell and can pattern match to live. There is no such thing as ‘intelligence’ because all living animals exhibit it. Life itself is intelligence, sure. I’ll admit that. “Actual intelligence” is just being a DNA based organism apparently. Sure. I agree.

“actual intelligence” doesn’t exist. There’s just educated people

I mean, any deckard cain-like character can act as the “catch me up on what’s going on” menu

Exactly. Those thoughts and language are not for discussion, even in a diary. Speak to no one about urges of violence. Figure it out on your own and definitely not in writing format. Involve no one else. Keep it to yourself. Do not seek a therapist for this.

Kim’s dialogue in disco elysium is pretty much this dressed up as a conversation

you get used to the taste, its quite strong. Had it many times growing up

I remember the og 2015 discord homepage said it was performant as a selling point

the random shit i remember lol

Warlock i think

My favorite video game is when I take my toy wolverine and pretend in my head that hes blowing up shit and is always a badass and doesnt afraid of anything. There’s no challenge or anything, and it always ends the same no matter what happens, but I like it because its such a good video game.

See how that makes no sense—where is the game there? Its not a game. Its just make believe with no goals other than “experience the narrative” which is just a movie im afraid. Movies are great art mediums though so it doesn’t take away from any of the labor. It just isnt a video game, maybe it can win some movie awards or something with how good the story supposedly is

Hard to imagine what the economy looks like at all during the next big recession

I play games. I watch visual entertainment. TTRPGs are games. A narrative game where I don’t get to do anything that impacts anything about anything in the game, to me, isn’t much of a game to me. It’s wait-for-player-to-interact visual entertainment—not much different than those games you got on DVDs for movies.

I think YouTube is the best way to experience this game.

I feel like ballistic missile defense was always his point of Greenland

not a game at that point, it’s a movie you can’t do half of the controls you can with something on netflix

The joke is actually subversion. You are supposed to think it’s about music, but the joke is you are subverted into realizing it’s about the material.
