Nothing is too big to fail

Is a balloon ever too big to pop?

No, let it pop, let it burn, let it rot, and lets learn the lesson this time

We must accept our consequences so that we can finally actually move foward

Thats so cool, i wonder how it plays with candle/lantern/sun lights

I think it interesting that most face right, but a few face left - i wonder why or what qualities about those leaders caused them to diverge from the norm and go left

“Be excellent to each other”

The idea of the pyramids as a industrial fertilizer factory is inteteresting, i could understand the “priests” and “rituals” and the pyramid themselves being so sacred and cherrished if it literally ensured strong harvests by supplimenting fertilizer.

The hypothesus is not strong or validated - but its the most compelling one ive heard so far

Its a true language, you dont hand an illiterate kid shakespear and tell them to have at it, you start them with basic books, even guided readings, and have them read out loud, and then they advance through more complicated books until they get the hang of things and start making their own essays, they continue the process of moving from simpler to more complex books/code-projects until one day the developer becomes minted when they have an idea of their own and they realize they have the vocabulary and strong enough opinions already formed to just make the idea their own - and then the learning is self sustaining.

Dont put the cart before the horse, shovel the shit for a while until you figure out where it lands - theres no workaround to gaining experience - just got to experience it

What trajedy, i hate to see it, i know its happening, and yet i cant help but carry on with my day to day, compelled to work, so i can keep the house and food and safety of myself. Its an immense guilt. Ive thought about quiting my job and liquidating my stocks, and unbanking - starving the economic war machine of at least my self, and put me on a path that only the ones who commit can follow down - but then i thought about the reality of then being homeless, insuranceless, etc in the us, and its ever growing political instability - and i just cant choose that, and its aweful that i have to make that choice at all, and its a trajedy im not selfless enough to meaningfully help beyond just the invisible “thoughts and prayers”

If in 50 years im asked what i was doing during this time, im sure to dissapoint and be viewed as an enabler of these horrors

I dont like how that makes me feel, and i think its important that im uncomfortable, i hope it spurs change in myself - which then hopefully leads to change in the world

Do make sure to retry freecad if you havent in a while - they finally merged their big update that made faces not break - its still got a learning curve but its far less frustrating now
