Atomic Habits.

As someone who is likely on the spectrum, it was like someone gifted me a user guide for life where other self-help books have either leaned a lot on the emotions of things or tried to cram all sorts of philosophy down my throat.

Lot's of common sense ideas around how to turn what, where, and who you want to be into actually achievable goals and genuinely helped me figure out who I want to be for myself and not for other people.

I wouldn't say it has any groundbreaking or radical ideas in it, but the structure and presentation of the simple ideas really helped me work out some life things for myself.

The Carthaginian's thought I was daft to build a Navy, but I built it all the same just to show 'em... It sank in a storm.

So I built a second one... That sank in a storm.

So I built a third one... That got lost, was militarily defeated, and then sank in a storm, but the fourth one was victorious!

The one thing I don't get about these Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists is why they worry about toilets so much.

It's silly even historically.

We have had societies where all communal toilets were unisex without feminism (Greek, Roman), we've had societies with gender segregated toilets without feminism (Victorian Era), we've had societies with gender segregated toilets (today), so why are unisex toilets incompatible with feminism?

Honestly it makes no sense to me other than they're just panicking about penises.

Yep, See the Behind The Bastards episodes about Effective Altruists, Sam Altman, and the Zizians.

They literally think that by doing everything possible to bring about superhuman general intelligence, the new AI god will fix all of our problems and save more lives in the future than it's worth spending money on other programs to save lives right now.

It's olympic-level mental gymnastics but some are throwing serious capital behind it.

Yeah they have a legitimate case for defending the use of the symbol so aggressively and the best way to avoid is to use the green and white variant that is used on pretty much every first-aid kit sold.

Still has the desired effect for both parties.

Or philosophers and philosophy.

Damn philosophers, they ruined philosophy!

I didn't know there was an IKEA in Cockfosters (North London)

Well, they already had to build the massive rocket.
