Now that you’ve said that, it occurred to me: some people are addicted to drama.
This is a great topic for discussion, but I believe that in culture and reality, there exists, as a variant of the norm, the form of “dramatic relationships” and people who, consciously or not, see drama as an essential part and meaning of relationships.
It sounds like the Sith psychology of the dark side — “very well, my lord, now let’s see if we can turn this emotional wound into a festering trauma that will fuel your power for many years.”
I don’t like this idea.
But I can defi... (read more)
“I think that in a monogamous relationship, there’s no chance that your partner will end up having sex with a close friend.”
I’m not sure it’s appropriate to joke about this, but I can hardly resist: the situation where monogamous relationships face this is typical.
Moreover, perhaps this is another key question — what is the priority of physical and non‑physical intimacy for different people? It seems like a classic example of the phenomenon of monogamous relationships, which simply do not consider sex with strangers to be cheating — as long as it is limi... (read more)
Hmm. Non‑monogamous relationship systems have always interested me precisely because they require more sophisticated ways of regulation.
You WILL have to learn to communicate effectively in order to function in conditions where this task is not carried out by just two agents (+, ideally, their relatives, but that’s not mandatory), but by more than two.
It’s like a challenge.
A more complex social structure, and the reward for this is the fruits of a more complex social structure — social connections and the resources you can mobilize through these connectio... (read more)
Just today I read a post dedicated to the fact that most of the modern tourist routes imply that the tour guide in them, as the author put it, "the producer of interpassivity".
... (read more)In popular tourist locations, the tour guide usually tells you what you see, and then - what you feel about it. "With each room you are more and more admired", "this act is respected", "the light in this room attracts all your attention". This is less common in academic museums. There the tour guide-researcher is absorbed in his own emotions on the subject. He can impose his visio
Have you considered this in the context of sectarianism? Because in my eyes, it looks very similar to some kind of asynchronous sect building (and how asynchronous, if we assume that "spiraling" is characterized by the desire to spread the behavioral patterns that contribute to its emergence? Considering it as a kind of meme virus, the analysis of "almost parallel" posts could easily miss a part of the cycle: "the user accidentally or out of curiosity triggers a pattern in the AI - the user engages in a dialogue that leads to the formation of a subspecies ...

It seems that if we do not have a body template conditioned at the level of the brain structure and a template of our body, this must be the result of personality development.
And this is interesting from the point of view of transhumanism: will I, with another pair of hands or a cybernetic eye from the old school (yes, this is not very realistic), feel them wrong because of some expectations built into the "iron" level? Is it because expectations are fixed and embedded at the level of the inner layers of the psyche? Because of the long habit of using the b... (read more)
Speaking of the "king's power" as a power that only redistributes: what about emergent systems? It seems that we have kings who organize society in the same way that wizards organize matter.
I play the role of the king's lawyer, but there is a difference between a group of wizards organized into a conclave by the king's power bearer and the two of them separately. Therefore, we must attribute the increase in their power to the one who moderated the process... If we consider the criterion of "creating an increase in value", which works in this case, bu...

I like the music, and I like the friendly osmenog covered with eyes, but the lyrics cause me a certain problem, and I was even ready to register in order to point out a few flaws.
I will try to explain this further:
I once saw a good idea here- a song about rationalism should be like a song about a butterfly.
In my lands, "optimization" is a dirty word because of the popularity of "effective" management, acting on the principle "the most profitable way to improve profits for a quarter is to sell the plant and lease the premises for 500 years ahead... (read more)
I can confirm that the taste qualities of products are of secondary importance compared to how much profit can be generated along the way (who would have thought, to be honest...).It seems that some categories of products in the higher‑quality end of the distribution range are virtually non‑existent in regular supermarkets and are a privilege of specialized stores, depending on your country.
The main factors there, if you assess them right away...
- the ability to produce a product of fixed quality from the most readily available (in terms of both potential ... (read more)
