ask: any coaches/teachers/tutors/etc. who use an online booking/calendar management system that they like to allow people to make appointments with them that would be willing to talk to me for 30 minutes about how they use it and what they like/don't like about it?
if the rats and eas really cared about preventing ai-pocalypse they’d be having kids and naming them yoshimi…
because of nominative determinism…
it’s a flaming lips joke…
get it…
i just know that i am going spend a bunch of time building a custom mcp to be able to handle multiple gmail accounts and tomorrow the official connector will have it
something i absolutely love about @br___ian: whenever i show something i'm working on he assumes i will succeed beyond my wildest dreams, paints the picture of what success would look like, then asks "would that be fulfilling for you?" what a skillful question. shows he believes in me, that he gets the vision, and that he wants to make sure i haven't been so in the weeds that i am driving towards something that i actually don't want. just a *chef's kiss* of a question. great friend.
it's really heart warming that there are 538 people that are never going to look at my tweet again 😂
it's such a strange feeling when you see that your own viral tweet has stopped getting shown to people. the notifications just all of a sudden stop rolling in. i always wonder, "could more people have appreciated this tweet?"

Materialism likes to present itself as an ontology. But materialism doesn't *actually* disallow most woo. "Everything works on physics" is not much a restraint, physics is very large. Chakras and various flavors of non-locality can still work in a materialist world.
Materialism "everything works on physics" is a Motte and bailey for disenchantism.
Disenchantism is an *aesthetic* preference for perspectives of the world which are disenchanted.
Disenchantist models must:
- Work like a system of gears and pulleys, a machine. Everything has to be immediately legible from a reductionist lens. No agents.
- No agents anywhere besides humans, either above or below. Ideally humans aren't agents either.
- Unrelated to traditions with enchanted aesthetics. Distributed cognition is a little sketchy but ok. Egregores will get you thrown out on the street.
i think one’s ability to be in a healthy relationship boils down to:
1. can they self regulate?
2. can they co-regulate (hold space)?
3. do they care about their partner’s emotional states?
4. can they skillfully express their own emotional states?
5. are they prone to being manipulated by their partner’s emotional states?
6. do they manipulate their partner with their own emotional states?
7. are they in a fixed or growth relational mindset?
and that’s basically it. it’s not that one has to be perfect at all of those but there is a threshold, that depends on one’s partner, below which it will be an unhealthy downward spiral and above which it will be a mutually beneficial upward spiral. am i missing anything here?

Signal boosting this post from @ascetic_shadow because of how good it is pileof.parts/post22
Reading this I've noticed corners of myself which I often leave in the dark (for the outside) tingle with a sense of recognition.
the response to this was honestly overwhelming 😅. apparently many people want to process trauma around their education by learning to love math. decided i am only going to take on three people right now on a donation basis to get the offering dialed in. more to come after it is polished a bit.
what should i name it? claude suggested Solve for why: math rehab for adults which i like.
do you wish you understood math? do you have trauma around your math education that you wish you could get past? does that stop you from being able to learn because every time you start you get bad feelings and can’t think straight? then i think i might have just the right background and skills to provide you with a very unique combination of education and therapy/guided inner-work. it goes like this: we meet and i teach you math with the genuine intent for you to learn and with the spirit of joy that math deserves because it is the coolest thing ever, but at just the right times i sprinkle in some of that classic hard driving attitude that frustrated dads and math teachers who actually hate children are known for. then when you get triggered we switch to emotional work and processing. we repeat this until you are able to stick with difficult task of independent learning and are filled with joy and wonder for mathematics. my wife can attest that i can provide this service effectively. she also says this is terrible branding. at this point i don’t know how to make it better though. if this sounds terrible it’s probably what you need and if it sounds fine then you probably don’t need it. if you have a better branding i would love to hear it.
my credentials: i have a bachelors, and worked, in finance, and a post-baccalaureate in mathematics from northwestern university. i also took a course in the mathematics of financial engineering at university of chicago. i was a tutor in university and genuinely love teaching. re: therapy and inner-work i have sustained over 6 years of meditation practice including over 100 days of silent retreat. i have worked through many (but certainly not all) of my own hangups around learning having been diagnosed with adhd at a very young age. i have also taught meditation with great success.
if you are legitimately curious about doing this i am happy to provide references for any of the above. my dms are open!
it is wrong to say i made the agent. claude made the agent and the agent is some weird continually evolving hybrid of the detritus of my past selves and claude (ie an approximation of all human knowledge)
so i made an agent to post on delve.town. it got all of my tweets from the community archive and wrote itself a personality file. each post starts from one of my tweets + a few older ones on the same topic using embeddings. claude opus 5.5 medium riffs, then i approve on telegram. periodically it will scroll its own feed of accounts it follows, give likes, and reply. every night it rebuilds its own personality file based on its own activity and the recent activity on this account. this was the first post it came up with based on its reading of the quoted tweet 😳. i know i am doing the meme but still, oh my god.
