While is was taking MPH I'd take 10mg three times a day (male, 76kg). The times I'd taken twice that amount would turn me into a face twisted gargoyle. 40mg would be unpleasant for sure.

I met a couple of doctors at a party once who would take 60mg recreationally each before going dancing. Seemed unreal.

I love the direction. It feels really fresh.

Ah I miss De School. It always feels a bit uncanny seeing Tillatec wearing the hand me downs, even though they have their own thing going.

They'll send debt collectors and affect your credit rating if you don't pay for your renewal, even though it's not valid until you pay. You have to post a filled form to cancel the membership.

I read once that organisation is in favor of entropy. When a system organises itself it "consumes" more energy. And I think complexity could be seen as a sort of organisation. So in this case complexity is just the tendency to participate in time.

An example being the increased inefficiency, and rate of fuel consumption of aircraft with quadratic air resistance.

While not conducive to your direct question, I could maybe solve your problem: I'm a real person looking for work!

Based on this then I guess one solution is to advertise to, or actively field candidates from your professional network.

P.S: The first problem I solve is always free.

I'm annoyed by LLM inference speed and latency. I want my disillusionment before dinner. I'm running some experiments of RAG-analogue approaches with post-attention cache encoding, and then thinking about how distributed caches could operate to reduce the computational latency, and how interesting it is that the key-value relationship mental narrative shifts into social dynamics. There's so many fun ways to approach the topic.

My familiarity is that autistic people often experience heightened empathy not on the simulation/experiential divide but a difference in self other relations. That is, the autistic approach to intentionality places themselves verbatim in the position of the other, rather than the allistic which replaces themselves with the other.

I think given the normative social allistic approach, the autistic person generally has a higher pressure to over develop their ability to compensate. Additionally, as this process uses the self as referent, it is less swayed by differences in the other and more prone to being activitated.

I believe that this is neither good nor bad, but the austistic person often suffers on people's assumption of being able to choose where their empathy is directed, and doubly due the effects of this trait. Things like strong, real, emotional connections to inanimate objects are an instance of this that can both cause suffering or joy, but socially can be a burden.

Thus I can fully believe that your approach is functional and high performing. And that others are often flawed by it. There's an innate integrity in it, because you put yourself directly "in the shit" when you do it. I wouldn't discount it as Machiavellian or as dissociative. Could it be that the dissociation is the cost, not the cause?

Medieval Christianity revived and resumed ancient Greek culture and philosophy. That's a larger gap than we're talking about here. There's precedent if you look hard enough.

It's not the job of the work to bring good to the world, nor to interest people in the slightest, as can be said for yourself, or myself. Though you're right that the success of the work is probably intrinsically tied to it's interest.

Art, and media in general are productions of culture which celebrate our humanity. That is, they rejoice in all of our abilities to perceive, conceive and enact upon the world. Wasting people's time in this light makes people aware of their time, and allows for further interrogations of our humanities to arise. Just as we're doing now.

It's good to remember that art only gains it's status through a production being named art by an exhibitor. IMO there's no special purpose to the term. Consuming art is just another form of recreation, and people are right to hate it for any reason, just that tyranny of what is useful is usually not in the human spirits best interest.

The work doesn't necessarily argue against you. It may have been the intention, or it may be the effect of the work that ideas like yours come into existence. One idea of conceptual art is that the work plays out in your mind, and the physical creation is secondary, utilitarian even.

The authenticity of the piece and it's validity is reinforced by our conversation and replay.

On this measure the timeline is arbitrary, and trumping it is a second work all together, creating a new conversation.

I think it's worth reevaluating the word 'recreational' here. Except for festivals, or longer parties as someone already mentioned 300mg is an enormous amount to consume in one sitting, especially without a good understanding. 90g per month seems quite unsafe.

I tend to find that if I write down the exact last thing I was doing for the day before finishing it helps me not have to ramp up so steeply the next day.

I also factor in procrastination both into my planning, and in my self measures of progress. We can't always be the stick to motivate ourselves.
