I knew that avatar looked familiar. Did you ever get an answer on why democrats shouldn't say "fuck you and your concerns" to parents whose concerns are their trans kids?

"Keep making excuses. I'm gonna keep trying to keep my fucking kid alive with Lil to no help from the supposed opposotion party."

You: "Honest question - presuming you are a real person and that you hold democrats in vocal contempt despite their factual efforts to protect trans people - why *shouldn't* democrat politicians say fuck you and your concerns?"

Fine. You All Want to Vote for Jill Stein or Whoever, You Fucking Stalinists, Let's Do It.

Right-wing populism thrives on extremism. An increase in polarized rhetoric only helps Trump. Not that you smug pricks give a shit. There's a Home Depot down the road. You know what's really abundant, the gun show you're in for. Take your shirt off dude.

Let's see if it's any better, maybe they patched it. Fresh from a couple seconds ago. Wow! I am so surprised

Me, more sloppily: What are the smallest primes with a prime number between them

(ChatGPT thought for a couple of seconds)
There are two natural readings:
* Smallest pair of primes with a prime difference: 3 and 5, because 5−3=2, and 2 is prime.
* Smallest pair of primes with a prime number between them: 3 and 7, because 5 lies between them.

Billions of dollars and countless manhours went into a machine that spits out phrases like "1. First: the math fact"

Me: What are the two smallest primes with a prime number's difference between them?

ChatGPT:

Let's break it down.

1. First: the math fact
* 1 is not a prime number.
* The two smallest primes are 2 and 3.
* There is no prime between 2 and 3, so the question “two smallest primes with a prime number between them” is actually a bit ill-posed unless interpreted more loosely (for example: consecutive primes with a gap containing at least one prime—but that can’t happen because primes between consecutive primes don’t exist by definition).

So a correct model answer should either:
* correct the premise, or
* explain why no such pair exists.

2. Why models sometimes say things like “1 is prime”

Hmmm meat on this article's bone I half recognize...

That's when the hard questions creep in, opening breaches in the fragile bubble of verisimilitude that sustains one’s investment in a story, or a set of tasks in a game: Why can my civilization build century ships and conduct interstellar trade, but we can't get tea from one side of town to the other? Where is the foreman that's supposed to be in charge of the Kiln output? What is wrong that our crystallizer refuses to produce crystals? If Residents get to choose where they live, why does it matter if my Landing Pad is out of nearby living space?

Amberspire never properly names its people. Amberites? Spirians? The Moonrace? "Residents" is how the game refers to them—a transient name for a transient statistic. The Residents are built to toil, expand, achieve, and ultimately be buried by the crush of history. Regardless of divine stewardship or human grit, this end is inescapable. No matter how glorious and long-lived their Golden Age ends up being, the opening narrative crawl of Amberspire is the promise of Cassandra. It's intimated that the very seed from which new cities begin has been sifted from the dust of a previous great city. We all begin at that colossal wreck of Ramesses II, and we won't be there to witness their downfall, but I like to imagine that every new city I start is the next strata up in the geological record. The remnants of previous games building up beneath me like an unruly Steam library I'll never quite wrangle.

From In the Walls of Qud:
Qud, stressing as it does setting and incident above linear story and fixed cast of characters, primarily makes its statements on the condition of its world through its depiction of places and their organisation, or more accurately their near‐total lack thereof. Its secondary statements are more blunt — with remarkable consistency and overtness, characters through the game pose a critique of power, hierarchy, and the concept of the state in favour of what is deemed more “radical”, “revolutionary”, in those exact terms: participatory democracy of autonomous settlements. Over the course of the main quest, a tension gradually develops between these two modes.

Qud as it can be played and interacted with is populated with and informed by the things of its past. The quantum of discovery of the histories of the Eaters, the sultans and saads, the piecemeal revelation of Qud, is the rumour, which in‐game are traded for reputation with the plethora of groups which call it home, clinging to islands of development studding the deep sea of its ruins. Even in this abstracted form they constitute the mythic basis for Qud’s present culture. Yet buried beneath thousands of years of dust and rubble and passed into legends, they are also tangible: the player can go visit their ruins and dig up their relics. This Qud that reveals itself could scarcely now maintain anything of a “hierarchy” beyond primordial communism within a single village, let alone a state. It has no use for the critique because there is nothing there to sustain its object.

Wait. Before you dismiss this man, try to understand that this is in the UK and could benefit from the consultation work of the UK's best and brightest, if only society would listen to unconventional thinkers

Colophon: Speaking of trans women, your plan for a milk-for-benefits scheme seems especially relevant today between increasing institutional barriers to transition in multiple countries, and a changing milk market, including pushes to make raw milk more widely available to consumers. Dr. Peterson even went as far as to suggest that the government in China has been milking men, which is quite a claim, but does suggest there might be interest in proposals such as yours. Bodybuilders already prize grey-market human milk for being a complete food, nutritionally speaking. Do you see a future for the human milk market?

The Cybersmith: Having analysed the situation, probably not. It just doesn't scale effectively. Unfortunate, but true.

The Cybersmith: Some people engage with [sissy hypno] recreationally or therapeutically, I am not trying to ban that.

Colophon: I take it as a given you don't intend to intrude on legitimate use. A powerful technology always presents some promise of proper use.

(The Cybersmith gives a thumbs up response)

Colophon: Didn't they try something like shadow projector feminization in Revolutionary Girl Utena?

The Cybersmith: ?

Colophon: Personal musing, sorry. Anyway!

Wrong, wasn't calling you a nazi. But now that I know you have zero idea what "German idealism" means or has ever meant in this context, you can be forgiven for thinking I was calling you one, presumably you saw the term "German" and the rest filled itself in in your head. Crack a book.

"Karl Marx inverted Hegel's idealism, replacing the dialectic of concepts with a "dialectical materialism" that focused on the development of economic forces of production. His theory of "historical materialism" adopted the fundamental dialectical structure of Hegel's philosophy of history, reinterpreting it in economic terms."

Punished Mace@colophon· Apr 24

Your attempt at diplomacy in your first letter missed the mark completely because you don't have the slightest clue what "the left" believes & couldn't articulate the basics of historical materialism or what leftist revolution is for. Your angry follow-up regarding Medium is more honest.

A diatribe about how trans people are all fetishists, ending on "what the revolution is for is unclear."

What's the reading of this that isn't expressly blaming others for her transphobia? Presumably if you just meant annoying people on the internet you wouldn't have said "demise."
