My impression is the same, but “demands” here is meant more like a demand to wear a silly hat or be severely peer-pressured, not “not being invited to a party”. But I may misunderstand the problem or be too excited to properly react to it. If you have an example that could deliver it more viscerally—I’d appreciate that.
If it will be a big community—would it be legal to organize some kind of private mini school? Something like Elon made for his kids—it could be better than homeschooling and regular private school both.
Two Yodas about inferential distances about relationships.
This is what I usually need to tell a normie to start discussing relationships and their possibility between us:
Ask, guess, tell
Kinds of attraction
Exclusivity for what?
Off the escalator
Relationship Anarchy
I’m going to write an expanded version—tell me if you’d be interested in having something like this for your own use.
Should we have a list of stuff to try to feel? Seems potentially interesting to me
I was reasonably sure that I don’t have felt senses or won’t get in touch with them without years of psychotherapy(I tried Yoda). While reading this, I finally got it and decided to talk about it with my friend, so I decided to put it into my inbox. That moment, my neck got cramped, my upper back got tense and I wanted to get away from it. Felt sense of thinking about my graveyard-inbox is my first one, forever and ever.
Kaj, thank you so much.
My delta it’s waiting for the sense by the clock, and trying again and again. Thanks
45 is my favorite
22 and 42 are awesome!
13 and 19 are cool
14 is really creative, 19 is hilarious!
31 Is also fun
I like 22 and 24, but the 42 is genius! Did you intend to put the best under the 42?
I can easily relax my prunes and babble a lot—generate names, interpretations, whatever. But I’m quite disappointed that the babble is still of a low quality. What’s the point of generating 100 names for my startup if all of them are bad? @jacobjacob Are there any exercises specifically for that?
(Should I reread the sequence?)
Two years ago I spent 24 hours to write 100 paperclip uses. In Russian here https://docs.google.com/document/d/15rgEl3J36lNywte0CQ6kcN2QwjGhPswJZ1TnnXQBxIQ/edit?usp=sharing
Weird, but it took me exactly an hour.
UPD: I just realized that the task wasn’t to get myself to the moon. Works as an exercise, anyway
Jump
Build a high building on the equator and blow it up
Zipline through a vacuum tunnel-like hyperloop
Meditate until you learn to levitate and hibernate simultaneously
Build a human tower
Blow up the moon until it lands
Blow up Earth until the tectonic plate we stand on collides with the moon
Teleport via future technology
Wish yourself to appear there
Placebomanically convince the reality that I actually am there
Pray
Upload myself to Equestria Online and go to the moon with my unicorn magic
Bend a palm tree and launch myself. Don’t forget to put an aquarium on my head
Get a time machine and go into the moment of time when my absolute coordinates are close enough
Achieve immortality and buy a ticket for a commercial flight
Upload myself into a spaceship body
Chinese believed that one can alter reality with music. So, let’s jam in different scales and music systems
Get punched by Captain America
Accio Moon
Wingardium leviosa myself+immortality
Broomstick magic on my bones+immortality
Immortality+Just wait until it fails on me? I’m not big on astronomy
Wait until the sun explodes and my atoms mix with Moon atoms and we’re technically in the same object
Get on hyperloop and blow it up
Get a heart stimulator and fuck so hard like in Crank and just run there
Ask Sonic the Hedgehog to launch me
Spaceship
Actually, in some very improbable realities, I’m just spontaneously appearing there
Become an Erogamer and wait until the plot takes me there
Pay someone to select the wildest stupid and conspiracy stuff and then ask some performer to read it in a most butthurt-provoking way and watch it on my phone until I fly to the moon. Afterward, get a Guinness record for the largest and the hottest anus.
Become a saint and wait for wings to be granted and fly there
Go to a bod mod surgeon an ask to add me skin between my legs and hands and train until I can fly
Use nanobots to enforce my genitourinary system and come so fast that I can fly as a rocket.
Shout down really hard
Fart and ignite (Thunderpants)
Shit fast
Become really small and fast and position myself just right when the next meteor comes down so that I fly to the moon
Become a firebender and fly there
Get a small and VERY powerful perpetuum mobile and an energy-mass converter and launch that mass down
Wake up and realize I’m Goku from the Optimal Wish project and I can shoot ki-beams from any point on my body. Imma rocket, dudes
Adapt Project Orion to fly on a supervolcano and wait/provoke a supervolcano
Become immortal, arrange the moon to be a new Australia(prison-vise) and get convicted for embezzlement
Just commit to get to the moon, trust my future self to get there and for now—expand my capabilities
Get a time machine, go back and replace Neil Armstrong
Make friends with someone who flies there, instigate a planet-moon battle, and cast Ally Swap
Become flat and therefore, loose mass and ask someone to throw me very precisely
Shake lots of cola and mentos, pointing downwards, in a gas tank, while hugging it (Is it the same as “Build a spaceship”?)
Command nanobots to turn Earth into me, then just grab the moon
Find a philosophy that can explain why I’m already there(Probably the most anti-rationalist while not being cartoonish stupid)
Accept open individualism and realize I’m identical to all conscious beings ever and I was and will be there anyway

I just had to share this, one person in a similar task imagined that a brick is a toy coffin in a puppet show.
