Thread w/excerpts reviewing one of my favourite non-fiction books ever, J. Jayne's "Origins of Consciousness.." by David Stove. Jaynes posited that human consciousness & internal monologue developed within *historical times*, evolving from involuntarily hallucinated voices.🧵
Claude is saying this like it's a bad thing but I am genuinely just built different. That's staying in the thesis 💅
Yet another symptom of systemic gamer oppression...
Jensen Huang’s departure from NVIDIA is terrible news for PC gamers, this could be the end of gaming gpus
Gaming generated only 7.4% of NVIDIA’s FY2026 revenue ($16 billion) compared with $193.7 billion from data centers.
Huang is an engineer and was seen as one of the company’s biggest supporters of PC gaming.
Now CFO Colette Kress is just an accounting and finance executive, you know what that means
This CEO could prioritize AI even further and abandon gaming gpu market completely
AMD isn’t looking like a clear alternative either since they said are a “data center company”

Until a few years ago I never realized Phil Tippets Stop Motion work on the documentary "Dinosaurs!" was some of the first on screen paleomedia to depict the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs.

All logistic curves begin as exponentials. Internalize this and live in peace.
If you read between the lines a bit in the Torah, it seems like God is wheeling and dealing with nations besides Israel. What sets Israel apart is not that they have a covenant, but that God gathered them at the foot of Sinai and chose to live among them.

hard to find great photos of it but in (i believe) the imperial cult chamber in the luxor temple in luxor, egypt (ancient thebes), there's a spot where frescoes are peeling off the wall to reveal egyptian hieroglyphics hidden underneath:
If King Og was also a plutonic figure for the Israelites, would an Israelite reader assume that the Mosaic war with Og of Bashan occurred before or after his descent to Sheol?

This renders the war with Bashan in Deuteronomy enigmatic: King Og was the last of the Rephaim, and ruled a terrestrial kingdom defeated by the Israelites. In Phoenecian lore, King Og was apparently the king of the realm of the dead.
ALT I can imagine King Og as a Bronze Age war-chieftain, not unlike Agamnenon, whose legendary feats rendered him king of the dead in mythological memory.

The Rephaim are the nōnymnoi from Hesiod's Works and Days jsyk. I would like to map the Nephilim onto the Heroes, but the term is used inconsistently in the Hebrew Bible, so it doesn't work as well.

When the armies of Gog and Magog are gathered before the walls of Jerusalem, Jesus of Nazareth, the Rebbe, and Bar Kokhba will appear, and the scholars will spend the entire Messianic Age debating who gets to lead Israel in the Wars of God. Talmud II: The Return of the King.
Despite irreconcilable (?) views on metaphysics, one can see why Christianity and Buddhism are at least superficially similar on the question of monasticism: unique to Christianity among Abrahamic religions.
