E: maybe I've seen down so much Hank/Hegel looks like up
Cold cold ground was tragedy[0], but these lyrics are farce.

(but that last vid doesn't have so many views; maybe it was even too MAGA for MAGA?)
then again, in light of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46644795 maybe it'd be more effective to address the concerns of the centre right and centre left, than to bother with trolling the far right?

[2] maybe the US just needs a better men's World Cup squad, so they can get all the flag-waving out of their systems via sport instead of politics?

>even for swing states, the best evidence is that small states do not benefit from the bias
So.. swing within the swing?
(FUN to imagine members of an "evil-sibling" of "Mossad" embedding, even featuring in Rock the Country tho :)
(Two) Texans going their own way?
(Is that a tinge of Tassie (accent) from her partner?)
(Can imagine these 2 going to RtC btw)
Not sure RtC is well-coded for those who wear "Curious George" ball caps*, but they might well be as welcoming as they advertise. I'd envision these 2 more likely at a Willy [Nelson] show?
For PH, wherever he may be:

* I've got to see more of that T-shirt collection; somehow I doubt tattooed Elsa and Anna (but do they have tramp stamps?) were licensed images...
Lynyrd Skynyrd were trolled by Neil Young in 1970: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjLcFQjq5G8
Fucking hell la HN!!
-takes PG's "unintentional moderates"/Nietzsche's cold-shower to a whole new [tragi-comic] level?
-the unexpected dvote from PH or his loyalists felt like I'd unintentionally self-trolled myself
(There might be an upvote that I haven't accounted for..)
Upcoming fencing chengyu?
U: re: my best take on why the hypothetical JHC (compare w Hillel/Mahatma) wasn't on the spectrum-- however he might have been "enby" like PH says
just one of a torrent of mud here, tho this particular take could point us to the hidden gold?

(Whole new can of worms on actual vs stated goals of rationalists tho I think we don't have to venture in that direction (yet) :)

U3: To what extent is the Swiss Inner Party, if it exists, NOT a team of rationalists? (I haven't tried answering my own Q yet, but it might be MUCH easier for me ;)
U4: at the risk of too many knobs [that you might have trouble merging], troll the centre-left and centre-right AT THE SAME TIME.
You know the famous "sweat saves blood, but brains save all" of that famous fennec
(Sorry Thucydides!!)
it's not the best source of trollings but I couldn't resist :)
U3: looks pretty rationalist to me so far. (otoh our proles recently voted for a 13th old age pension without first demanding an accounting of from where it would be paid) I especially like how the referendum process allows decoupling recognition of problems from attempts at their solution. Certainly being a small country (pace Tito?) helps avoid the temptation of monumentalism. see also https://www.worldvaluessurvey.org/wvsimages/Cultural_Map_202...
IKEA: IK was Kamprad, who is EA? (aha, not who but what: Elmtaryd Agunnaryd) Unix pipelines treat everything as a monoid of bytes; what if we could deal with (loopable) quantales of bytes instead?
U: First win, then score
(Ah yes dunno why I went for "Texan", not that I am even half-good at desouping the 2)
I was just thinking a few hours ago, that baby seems to be squalling for "quantales". Have you ever asked an LLM about it? I have (in relation to what I've been thinking hard about).. Did you find the answer useful? it's good I don't remember what it said, because it seems to be too adult (in name, if not concept), & I don't feel like I've ever made such a kid of myself.
I did algolia what you've written about it so far (2 hrs ago?). Hows the Kleene implementation? It should actually be immediately useful to me!! (And... You win!!)
The introduction of the cipher 0 or the group concept was general nonsense, too, and for a thousand years or two mathematics was more or less stagnating, because nobody was around to make such childish steps . . .
--Letter to R. Brown
PS: Ah but the whole point might be that rationalism don't need no inner party? (And, in CH, such decoupling falls out of a hat, there's no need for further "design work" on the process (in principle?)-- Thus.. is it really the kind of decoupling i thought I was talking about? It seems to be! But I can't ELI5! (Sincere question))
U: chart is flattering^W enlightening, quite. yep I saw that vid ~ march? last year
