@myhandle's Navigation By Moonlight explored the feminine art of yin - setting up opportunities. Extend that logic to its natural counterpart - the art of yang is acting on opportunities - and you get a noble vision of what it means to be a man, that goes beyond just dating

i used to teach an art class for little kids. we had a unit where each kid drew “someone powerful”. 99% of boys drew: a tank man made of tanks with tanks for arms and his head is a tank. 99% of girls drew a princess. everyone i worked with hated this and it happened every time.

harmony 1 = unison sounds good harmony 2 = precisely tuned combinations sound good harmony 3 = with sufficient context any combination sounds good

I was teaching someone about music theory the other day and was about to tell them that tritones sound bad, but then stopped to listen and actually realized I don't mind how they sound

“ You riff with reality, and sometimes reality riffs back.

Currently on a train with a group of writers and thinking about how this all started as a random 'what if…' tweet 3 months ago This is my favourite part about Twitter. There was plenty of work involved, but also a sense of natural unfolding. You riff with reality, and sometimes reality riffs back

I mean men definitely get made fun of for being virgins. There's no discourse about it because the ambient pressure for men to be horny is just kind of the default lol. There's respectful and not so respectful ways of going about it

As someone who loves using the structure of em dashes (see: both of my tweets in this thread), I totally get it haha

I agree! It doesn't change the impact on the reader though: once they start to detect the AI 'tells', they won't be inclined to invest - even if the content is genuinely good. It's a natural human instinct to not want to get "got"

Anxiety about AI writing and art works on this same axis. We invest in reading a work because the writer has paid the upfront cost of writing it. AI writing has the same shape as a con - the person didn't invest their own effort into it, and we don't want to get "got".

In YCSE, Holmes defines lying as intentionally saying things that are untrue. This is a common definition, but I think our fear of "being lied to" works on something different entirely. Our fear isn't believing an untrue thing, it's *getting more invested than someone else*

"encouraging discernment" is a great way to put it! Learning how to navigate towards correctness is the whole process and it requires being able to discern better from worse. But when "that was bad, I can do better" turns into "I am bad", navigation also stalls teapawt.org/array_hog/status/21152…

The struggle with learning anything is not knowing what correctness*feels like* when you start out doing it. The purpose of a teacher is to be an external reference, guiding the student towards correctness so they know what it *feels like*.

The knowledge of how to do a thing is contained in doing the thing itself, not the words that describe doing the thing. We can describe how to catch a ball using complex physics equations, but that's not how people actually learn to do it

Like a singing teacher telling a new singer when they are off pitch, until the singer can hear what being off pitch sounds like themselves
