Sometimes, makers produce peak. Sometimes, they produce valley. It's hard to tell what they'll do. That's part of the magic of media.

Most arguments for multiple intelligences point to ostensibly unintelligent people with some peculiar areas of brilliance. Why don't we point to ostensibly brilliant people who are dumb as rocks in some very basic areas
it’s probably time to accept that being smart accelerates your acceptance of certain types of stupidness

Everyone assumed that Vance's wife named their son Vivek, but things got a lot more suspicious when we found out that their other children are named Dagoth Ur and Almalexia
JD Vance: "My 6 year old was extremely excited that Ja'marr Chase told him he had nice gloves. So, big day for little 6-year-old Vivek."

And now AirBNB tells hosts they can’t expect guests to clean this up. Ridiculous
NEW - Adolf Hitler's Alpine retreat, the Eagle's Nest, was completely destroyed after a potential arson attack last night in Bavaria's Berchtesgaden, Germany.

Really funny response is people like “do you realize that even Luke decided to lighten the non-attachment rules?” Do you realize Star Wars isn’t real? Do you realize that the writers criticizing/rejecting asceticism is still just my point?
Fascinating how most modern westerners see zero value in asceticism. The prequels are about a monk who refuses to renounce his attachments and becomes an instrument for evil because of it. Viewers can't believe he did something wrong if he did it for love.

Gen Z love the Star Wars Prequels because young men relate to Anakin. A prodigy who has everything taken from him by alien savages, and is told he can't have a family or aspire to heroism by political institutions which constrain his potential while refusing to solve problems.

Pretty much every monastic-ish protagonist--monks, paladins, etc across Star Wars, Cartoon Avatar, Dungeons and Dragons, etc.--has some revelation about how Actually, Love And Romance And Attachment Are Real Heroism. Nobody accepts that self-denial might be good or necessary

Random suspicion I have is that millennials weren’t really the first adults to play with toys. Past generations kept doing it as well. Differences were (1) they could excuse it by getting toys for their kids and (2) their toys weren’t $500 Lego sets or elaborate action figures
>Considered a senior mammal for his species >despite his age, still playing with toys >having the time of his life We can learn so much from them.

Boomers who built elaborate miniature trains or ships in bottles were probably extending their childhood habits in some way. But maybe it’s more noble when it’s a craft instead of just paying for more crap from some huge manufacturer.

Every morning I sit on the porch to sip my little fruity espresso made with fair-trade beans from Ethiopia. I always think to myself “Man. Being a black-coffee-only alpha male is so awesome”
I think it’s time to revisit how gay this was.

Socrates was puzzled to hear that the Oracle said he was the smartest man in Greece. But his ultimate realization is legendary: "I know that I know everything. All of it."
