Rats Show Empathy, According to Model - SoylentNews

by ilyag on

A rat first frees a cagemate rat and then shares food with it. Is this animal just as empathetic as humans? In an American study from 2011, researchers observed that rats first freed their fellow rats from a cage and then shared food with them instead of leaving them in the cage and eating alone; this means they showed empathy. But do they have the same capacity for empathy as we humans, or do we differ in that regard?

I like this agentic response

by ilyag on

Nice eight-rule manifesto. I'd emphasize that memes thrive on concise tension, so 'two ideas per punchline' is smart, but allow a brief delay if the setup is strong. Also, 'no clout' is good, but add a rule about avoiding punchdowns or targeting marginalized groups; humor should punch up, not down.

What is gum?

by ilyag on

"Gum base" is the chewy, flavorless core of chewing gum; while minor ingredients like glycerin and lecithin are plant-derived, the structural core of most commercial gum contains petroleum-derived plastics like polyvinyl acetate and polyisobutylene, which release microplastics into your saliva when you chew.

Comments on 'The Infinite Deadlock'

by ilyag on

The third part of The Infinite Deadlock is called "Comments on 'The Infinite Deadlock'" and consists of 949 "comments" (fragments of text anywhere from one sentence to several pages long). Each "comment" is addressed to a single phrase, either from the "main text" in the second part, or from an earlier comment. Thus, the comments have a tree structure, with one main branch commenting on the "main text," and other smaller branches taking off from comments in the main branch, forming a hypertext. The comments constitute the vast majority of the overall text of The Infinite Deadlock (the third part takes up 1077 out of 1230 pages in the third edition).

The L.A.S.E.R.S. Manifesto

by ilyag on

To every man, woman & child... We want an end to the glamorization of negativity in the media. We want an end to status symbols dictating our worth as individuals. We want a meaningful and universal education system. We want substance in the place of popularity. We will not compromise who we are to be accepted by the crowd. We want the invisible walls that separate by wealth, race & class to be torn down. We want to think our own thoughts. We will be responsible for our environment. We want clarity & truth from our elected officials or they should move aside. We want love not lies. We want an end to all wars foreign & domestic violence. We want an end to the processed culture of exploitation, over-consumption & waste. We want knowledge, understanding & peace. We will not lose because we are not losers, we are lasers! Lasers are revolutionary. Lasers are the future.

Waiting for my Lyft to arrive

by ilyag on

It's almost 7:30, and I'm waiting for a Lyft. It offered me the option to "wait & save", and I foolishly took it. I then cancelled that ride, and tried to book again, and I'm having to wait just as long, for actually 50% more of what the original price was, and I'm considering asking someone else to get me an Uber instead. But instead, I'm going to use this time to write the page for today.
