    Imagine waking up one day and admitting to the world that you are that goddamned fucking useless of a human being? Mind boggling.

      oh dude, my brother and sister in law have this story they like to tell about me where they abandoned their three year old child at a park because they expected me to be there. they never contacted me about watching or caring for their kid, i just busked there every other thursday. i had a doctor’s appointment so i wasn’t there. the way they tell it, i’m the villain (their neighbor found their child wandering around the park and brought them home. apparently i’m at fault for being 30 miles away the entire time) but, uh, they really like the story.

      my brother does not know why his circle of friends keeps shrinking.

    Is he admitting ignorance to something that literally tens of billions of people have done, including people who can’t read and never knew what a computer was, or even how to make fire? This is the guy who we should trust with making an “artificial intelligence”?

    If he literally knew nothing and was worried for his child he could have hired a well paid live-in nursemaid and forgotten about the money it cost the next half hour.

    Instead he used his child as an experiment.

    “Hey dad, are you proud of me?”

    “I’m proud of the value you created for me and the shareholders.”

    I mean it’s fair enough. It’s not like anyone has ever done it before. There is literally no information available about this uniquely modern process.

    We have mistaken rationality for a philosophy rather than a methodology, and efficiency for a virtue without any particular end in mind.

    To have a unique, personal, subjective, divergent human experience is to sin against your prescribed algorithm.

    then why even have a baby? the joy of caring for that child–of experiencing fatherhood–is a big reason for having babies.

    not taking steps to learn how to be a father is like buying a hog and slapping training wheels on it. you’re never going to get to really enjoy that ride.
