Apparently there was some sort of controversy about a site called [[content nation]] in the Fediverse, and people from [[Mastodon]] came across as conservative/resistant to change/unfriendly to newcomers. I am not surprised.
- Good thing is I found [[wedistribute]] via the article linked in the node above, and I think I'm liking this site and maybe particularly a podcast they have called [[decentered]].
- I read about [[Jim Simons]] and the [[Medallion fund]] after watching [[Veritasium]]'s [[The Trillion Dollar Equation]].
- I read about [[Jizo]] a.k.a. [[Ksitigarbha]], which I now associate with number [[6]] (as he vowed to liberate beings in all six Buddhist realms).
-
I still haven't figured out how to make [[silverbullet]] open its daily note where I want instead of Journal/Day/<date>, but maybe it won't be much longer :)
- Thankfully in the Agora any and all of these will show up (just independently).
-
The article on [[Peter Singer]] led me to read about [[higher and lower pleasures]] -- the whole article on [[utilitarianism]] is interesting.
- TIL [[Karl Popper]] was called a [[negative utilitarian]] because of his preference to [[minimize suffering]]: "Instead of the greatest happiness for the greatest number, one should demand, more modestly, the least amount of avoidable suffering for all."
- My knees hurt from [[Lägern]] but I have no regrets :D
