I brought up #Illinois candidate for #US #Senate Raja #Krishnamoorthi and his strong ties to the #corporate #law firm #KirklandandEllis on reddit to see what people's thoughts were, and I was immediately and repeatedly called a moron for questioning why a #lawyer would work for an enormous firm b/c apparently money is all that factors into the equation. Is this simply how it is in this state and #Chicago? Money is the 1st and usually only motivation in life?

The tantalizing counterfactual: a world where organized religion no longer exists, and humanity finally confronts the Universe DIRECTLY, and must build meaning, ethics, and purpose from the ground up.

I've noticed a lot of traffic from Anthropic_PBC to my sites.
I have the appropriate robots.txt, etc, so...
I am thinking of sending them an email that says i will bill them a penny for every access. 🤨
I could get all outraged, but outrage doesn't really change anything... I could cloudflare them, but... that's not aligned with their incentives.
I think that's reasonable. Imagine if we all did that. Thoughts?
The greatest threat to #ethics becomes obvious if we can all agree with the original concept of ethics as laid out by the ancient Greek intellectuals like #Aristotle.
#Aristotle had terms to describe the root of functioning ethics. #Eudaimonia and #Ergon.
Aristotle's concept of #ethics as the human function is the excellent exercise of the intellect.
"A "good" human is one who performs this rational function well."
Republicans fail in this test by epic proportion. One can simply read #MAGA poetry, if you can find any, to confirm this truth.

"In 2017, Ramachandran and two other UCSD professors, Paul Mills and Deepak Chopra, the famous New Age author, were launching a study of autistic children thought to be savants. They had a particular interest in one provocative claim — that some might have telepathic abilities."
Nope, Academia doesn't have any systemic problems at all, nope.

🦥🌱 While we often interpret the facial structure of a #sloth as a sign of happiness, researchers explain that it's an unchanging anatomical trait. Understanding this is vital for #wildlife conservationists and veterinarians to properly assess the well-being of these slow-moving #mammals.
