I don’t think anything is going to make the quantum world intuitive to minds evolved to deal with a world on a scale many orders of magnitude greater and you’re wasting time making up stories about it.

Ah shit, I thought being interested in some new #firefly was the cool position, turns out it’s essays on what a disaster it’s going to be.

This is why I can never get my engagement numbers up. 🙄

@ReggieHere@mastodon.social @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us @riggbeck@mastodon.social I maintain that Thatcher used the proceeds of EU membership and North Sea oil to mask that she was starting to concentrate money and power back into the hands of the rich. The start of the counter revolution. Most of her successors don’t understand that at all: they believe it was her announced principles wot did it.

@cstross@wandering.shop yeah, I know, and I’m very tired. Raping teenagers for the hell of it because you’re a self obsessed dickhead who gets off on the exercise of power and the sense of taking something from them is morally *worse* than raping prepubescent children because you’re wired wrong and have crap impulse control. They’re not the same thing at all.
