And how are you at understanding technobabble on shows like Star Trek or Stargate?

This will probably be the post that pushes me into writing that Substack article on Christian egoism, Objectivist-style.

9 of 182, with notes:
- Super Supportive is truly fantastic worldbuilding, yet a superhero fic as far from Worm in tone as the North Pole is from the South. It feeds my INFP soul.
- I experienced a third of these as professionally produced media: The Martian film and audiobook, Beware of Chicken audiobook, and Crystal Society audiobook.
- Worm was my lunchtime read during the heyday of Disney Heroes: Battle Mode, a metafictional mobile game which gave me my first true taste of leadership. Despite being wildly different, the cities of each setting are inextricably linked in my memory; were I to fanfic the game, it would be inspired by Worm’s tone.
- I read Luminosity having never read or seen any Twilight media except the final movie, and I actually read the Luminosity side-stories before the main fic, totally spoiling myself.

Thank you for the reminder and reframing. Gaza before Oct 7 was an attempt to give a safe space to people who identify as Palestinian, where they could be as free and democratic as they wanted. Oct 7 is what they did with it.
If they’d had their own nation-state ala the two-state solution, and if that nation had attacked Israel, the latter would be justified by the long-held rules of war to conquer the territory and rule.
All sufficiently accurately modeled hypotheticals come down to the cliche, “If the Palestinians laid down their arms today, tomorrow there would be peace. If the Israelis laid down their arms today, tomorrow they’d all be dead.”

My favorite fact about bagels is that they can be sliced by a Möbius cut, and then you only have to shmear one side.

I had the worst responses from Claude yesterday. I gave it a new psychological insight I’d just had, and then asked it to respond as Qui-Gon Jinn Star Wars. Claude then told me it sounded like I was going through something and decided on its own to stick with its own voice and discuss this insight with me in therapy language.
I said that wasn’t the response I wanted and to try again. It again refused and proceeded to elaborate. I told Claude it was being very codependent and I would ask Gemini if it didn’t roleplay. Once again it refused.
So I asked Gemini my original prompt. It put a disclaimer about asking health questions at the top, the proceeded to Jinn up a delightful and insightful response with analogies about the Force I found useful.
I gave Claude Gemini’s response and it called it a fun piece of fiction… then tried to therapize me again.
CS Lewis made a point of discussing this in one of his works.
