Lots of personal preference, but I disagree on Acme: it’s far and away my preferred editor on unix-like systems, too.

that is to say, both might be relevant for personal effectiveness, and both are tangentially related to big problems (how do we bring about good states of consciousness & how does society organise sexuality so that everything works ~well), but not much beyond that.

i think posting about personal meditation practice on the EA forum is bad, because personal meditation practice is as relevant to EA as advice on seducing people.

that’s why cold approach in person works so well, or why programming is easier than mathematics, or why you should build explicit models as quickly as possible (even if they’re shit), or why meditation is so hard

@prologic@twtxt.net I am seeing a problem in which not-so-active users, such as myself, are ending up having a blank “Recent twts from…” under their profiles because, I assume, the cache long expired.

It is perhaps a little-known fact that Martin Luther King, Jr., was greatly influenced by that very philosophy. Early in life he ventured north to study at Boston University, then the center of personalist thought in America, where he completed his doctorate under theologian Edgar Sheffield Brightman. We can see the deep influence of personalism on King’s … ⌘ Read more
