:a-little-trolling: Squares are terrible and everybody's saying it, folks. They're weak, they're ineffective, and they cause tremendous suffering.
All polygons can be triangulated and any arbitrary bounded and non-disjoint figure can be triangulated to whatever degree of accuracy you wish with a strictly finite number of triangles.

Also, hexagons are cubes seen with a vertex pointed at you. And cubes are merely 6 squares. And squares are evil.
Triangles are too pointy to make stable molecules---the sharp angle produces ring strain. Even nature thinks triangles are weak.
Triangles are my favorite shape
Three points where two lines meet
Toe to toe, back to back, let's go
My love, it's very late
'Til morning comes
Let's tessellate
I used to like this guy a lot back in 2015, and I think he’s got a good heart but just swimming in ideology. He wants to imagine himself perfect rational and robotic and ignores a lot of ideological assumptions, but I think he does just want to improve things
Of course, that’s my point. He’s a fish swimming in a sea of assumptions
Can’t see this guy going fascist, he’s as squishy and humanitarian as possible. He will either flee somewhere else or just keep his head down
It's really sad when people have unexamined biases and aren't aware of their own ideological positions. They're never going to be able to really engage with the world, and they'll never really understand what happened when things don't conform to their presuppositions.
i am immune to propaganda actually, guess im just built different
except me of course, i'm all knowing and all seeing. and normal.
equally unaware? maybe not. unable to engage with the world? yes. what you experience is not the real, but the real filtered thru your sensorium.
hes the eternal liberal, when he dies he should have his brain scanned, so that we can analyse the liberal brain
yeah it's reddit af but I like when he teaches me about runways at airports
He's got a lot of interesting stuff, and then one video where he is clearly controlling a Tesla despite claiming it's on autopilot.
and the one where he compares the popularity of Buckingham Palace and Versailles by only looking at American tourists
Ah yes, the one where he comes out as pro-monarchy for purely fiscal reasons.
The bear is an ancient symbol of the power and mystery of nature and of the interplay of life and death.
are you suggesting that the bears saw the constellation and headed north
i think my theory makes more sense. the bears saw the constellation and headed north.
War game
You mean like a military exercise with real soldiers and sophisticated computer simulations?
Literally a board game with dice
Oh.
If Xi completes the belt and road he gets five points for longest road.
I unironically want to play this wargame.
Also, fuckin' lol think tanks really earning their money by playing boardgames.
Yeah I think it might be fun to play, just don’t think articles should be written about the outcome and taken seriously
Absolute elite grift. Getting paid big consultancy bucks to play board games all day and have your journalist friends come over and write about how good the game is 👍
It’s the same ghoulishness behind “all year school” plans where there’s no summer vacation, only tiny breaks.
I did this when I was younger, you get three month-long breaks, and I thought it was fucking awesome.
It's a shit idea for most people, but for his line of work I can see where it might be helpful. I think he was kind of blind to the fact that his work is pretty different from most people.
Surely he meant Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday after moving to a four-day work week.
I want the george jetson work week of having one hour a day two days a week.
