“This Is One More Reminder That Our Experience Of The External World (i.e. The Sum Of Its Qualia),

“This is one more reminder that our experience of the external world (i.e. the sum of its qualia), and the actual external world, are two very different things. In fact they are entirely different orders of being — right down to the bottom. Your experience of things exists only inside the few dark cubic inches of your skull, in a neural model of the outer world that your brain creates from the inputs of your senses. This is the only way that your self-awareness, your personhood, can understand and interact with the external physical world, because your sense of being a self is also a neural phenomenon. The outer world, which exists independently of human awareness, is vastly richer and more variegated than our limited senses perceive or than a brain-sized neural model could ever fully mimic. And internal world-models only evolved in ways that helped creatures survive, thrive, and reproduce. Anything else would be selected out as a distraction and a biologically expensive waste of neural processing power.”

This Week’s Sky at a Glance, January 10 – 19 - Sky & Telescope - Sky & Telescope

Damn, Sky & Telescope, I just wanted to know what was up this week; I wasn’t looking for an existential examination of the subjective nature of reality, and I *really* didn’t need it while I was a little stoned.

As the Ides of March approaches, let us all remember it not as the day Caesar was stabbed a whole bunch, but for what it truly was: the day a group of organized elected representatives killed a sitting unelected dictator.

It's still kinda wild how Phineas and Ferb managed to completely hijack an idiom. Now whenever someone hears a sentence leading with "If I had a nickel for everytime [...]", odds are their brain auto fills with "I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice," rather than "I'd be rich," or "I could [action that requires purchasing something requiring an obscene amount of money]". Y'know, what the idiom originally was

One Of The Best Sources For Anti-America Arguments Is Declassified Documents

One of the Best Sources for anti-America arguments is declassified documents

There’s something Frozen in the State of Denmark...

It doesn’t work completely but please enjoy my spontaneous Hamlet rendition of “Let it go”:

Hamlet no!

The snow glows white on the castle tonight,

they say a ghost is walking.

The kingdom is of Denmark,

and strangely I’m not king.

The wind is howling like my drunk uncle inside,

couldn’t kick him out, heaven knows I’ve tried.

Don’t let them kiss don’t let them scheme,

be the good son, punish’ th’ adulterous queen.

Conceal, don’t feel don’t let them know,

Well, they don’t know-

Hamlet no, Hamlet no,

just hold it back a lil’ more.

Hamlet no, Hamlet no,

Proof first then blood galore!

I don’t care what they’re going to say,

Pretend to be mad, rage on,

‘phelia’s feelings never bothered me anyway.

It’s how funny the Queen, just gives this satyr all,

and here I stage the play, that will prepare his fall,

It’s time to see what I can do,

To trap the conscience of a fool.

No lies, no ghosts, just truth for me.

I see!

Hamlet no, Hamlet  no,

Let not his soul to heaven fly,

Hamlet no, Hamlet no,

In his adulter’us bed he’ll die,

Here I stand and here I slay.

Let ‘phelia rage on….

My small mistake, sent Polonius to the ground.  

My old  friends, are to their death in England bound.

And Laertes’ wild revolt hits like a fiery blast.

Yeah Danish monarchs, soon are thing of past.

Hamlet no, Hamlet no,

As men stand with rapiers drawn,

Hamlet no, Hamlet no,

Cup’s poisioned, Queen is gone

Here I stand and the King I slay,

Let Fortinbras rage on,

The rest is silence anyway.

hey. do any of you trans/autistic mfs wanna see a baby werewolf
