there are many reasons to reject AI but one that goes underadressed is that imagination is a powerful political tool. to create a better world, to strive for change, you must first conceive of its possibility. everything around us, every single thread woven into the fabric of society, was an idea before it became reality.

becoming increasingly reliant on a machine that can only regurgitate, to use technology that is at its core unable to create something new, will slowly but surely strip us from the ability to constructively imagine the different realities possible for the world around us. condemned to stagnation by the lack of ability to think of an alternative.

maggie smith is right - this place could be beautiful. we could make this place beautiful. but radical change requires the creativity to see its good bones and the imagination to create that beauty. don't let AI take that away from you

A year of journals. Usually there wouldn’t be so many of them, but two big trips meant two big travel journals.

From the Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Handbook [pdf]

"Immature people crave and demand moral certainty: This is bad, this is good. Kids and adolescents struggle to find a sure moral foothold in this bewildering world; they long to feel they’re on the winning side, or at least a member of the team. To them, heroic fantasy may offer a vision of moral clarity. Unfortunately, the pretended Battle Between (unquestioned) Good and (unexamined) Evil obscures instead of clarifying, serving as a mere excuse for violence — as brainless, useless, and base as aggressive war in the real world."
