You wake up in a coffin. Do you 1) calmly and quietly accept you are going to die there, or 2) fight and try to break free? If you pick 2 and make no progress, at what point do you accept your fate? Explain your answer. Too intense for a 1st day getting to know you question?

If I destroyed an AI trying to kill me as I investigate an ancient alien artifact which sends me on a cosmic voyage to a human aquarium where I spend the rest of my life alone with no sense of time only to be reborn after my death a supremely powerful being I'd be sooo happy.

An anonymous person that is not me asks: I am a non-tenure track principal lecturer at a public liberal arts institution. Can I get fired for wearing this to class? Or on campus? Or in public? Shout out to Fist City Art.

AI industry isn't creating jobs for unemployed/underemployed philosophers. They're hiring employed/employable people whose success is overdetermined by a variety of factors, including academic pedigree. Negligible impact on most philosophers. Prove me wrong. Hire me (please).

If you're looking for somebody who knows nothing and has zero charisma to be on your podcast, I'm your man.

pizza is overrated

that thing where you are living in a dystopian future so banal you could not have conceived of it 25 years ago

people who said other are cops

Is there an AI company out there looking to hire a, let's say, Diogenes-style philosopher? An outside the box thinker, a person with an 'unhoused' mindset. Asking for a friend.

Some unfamiliar with philosophy tell me ideas in *Too Weird To Believe, Too Plausible To Deny* aren't weird, then they share implausible, rationally indefensible ideas! Bullshitters are NOT philosophers. The fact people think otherwise is a huge failure on our part.
