I just self published my first Academic paper NOT related to my Tertiary education or research.

https://www.academia.edu/resource/work/107548963

Check it out, covers some pretty interesting topics!

:Update: Feeling ambitious, I published an additional eight papers yesterday and I can't take back the consequences now.

My favourite post so far

Jesse: "Yo, Mr. Fring, I've been thinking about this quote, man. "One must imagine Sisyphus happy." What do you make of that?"

Gus: "Ah, Jesse, I see you've stumbled upon the existential musings of Albert Camus. It's an intriguing concept, to say the least."

Gus: "Sisyphus, condemned to an eternity of rolling a boulder uphill only to watch it roll back down again, represents the futility and absurdity of life's struggles."

Gus: "However, Camus suggests that by accepting and embracing this absurdity, one can find happiness."

Jesse: "Yeah, but I mean, isn't that just some crazy philosophical bullshit? How can someone be happy in such a fucked-up situation?"

Gus: "Happiness, Jesse, is a state of mind. It's not about the circumstances we find ourselves in, but rather how we choose to perceive and respond to them."

Gus: "Sisyphus, despite his eternal struggle, can find meaning and purpose in his repetitive task. By embracing his fate and finding fulfillment in the act itself, he transcends the burden he carries."

Jesse: "That's deep shit, man. So, what, you're saying we should just accept all the crap that comes our way and be happy about it?"

Gus: "Not necessarily. Acceptance doesn't mean complacency. It means acknowledging the realities of our situation and finding a way to navigate them while maintaining our inner peace."

Gus: "It's about finding meaning in the journey, even if the destination remains elusive."

Jesse: "Yeah? I guess that makes sense in some messed-up, twisted way... Hey, speaking of finding happiness, have you tried Taco Bell's Nacho Fries? They're insane, man!"

Gus: "...Nacho Fries, Mr. Pinkman?"

Jesse: "Oh, you gotta try 'em, Mr. Fring! They're like these crispy, seasoned fries with this gooey cheese dipping sauce. It's like a flavor explosion in your mouth, man. I bet you'd love 'em."

Gus: "If they are as remarkable as you claim, perhaps we can find a moment to indulge. After all, even in the face of existential ponderings, we mustn't forget to appreciate life's simpler pleasures."

Jesse: "That's what I'm talkin' about, Mr. Fring! We'll have ourselves a little culinary adventure amidst all the fucking chaos. Life's all about finding those moments of joy, even if it means embracing the absurdity along the way, right?"

Gus: "Indeed, Jesse. Life's contradictions often lead us to unexpected discoveries. Perhaps, we may find a glimpse of Sisyphus' elusive happiness in the process."

The Church of Satan

In 1966, Anton Szandor LaVey, a former carnival organist, founded the Church of Satan. It would become one of the most controversial religious organizations of the modern age. He was also a student of the occult. This foundation happened amid the cultural upheaval of San Francisco’s countercultural revolution. The Church of Satan has its roots firmly planted in theatricality, psychological…

A dark signer is not one thing you could give up.

Be it anything else, the choice to become one for him was made with the desperation to survive. to become something else entirely, but what could a person of the living know of sacrifice.

"Murderer... I suppose , this time you are incorrect. My tribe still lives... and once I serve my purpose, they will create another, and another, and another dark signer for every one that falls. Child after child...."

He shakes his head.

"You cannot protect her, not in the way you want to. War will come, and she will fight. the gods, beings above us have decided , otherwise the crimson dragon would not have chosen her to begin with."

Sacrificed as a child by his tribe... The purity of Luna's heart. The hot dog was momentarily forgotten as she processed his words.

An honor. How honored he must feel, to dig his heels into Luna's fragile heart and break her apart. Whether he was sacrificed as a child or not, he was an adult now. Clearly, he aged somehow.

"You can take your petty honor and shove it thousands of feet deep, right next to your Earthbound Immortals," she snapped. "I don't care if you were an infant when you died. You're mature enough now, aren't you? You've grown into your role as a murderer. Are you 'honored' to slaughter thousands to resurrect an ancient destructive force?"

She scoffed and didn't even give him time to answer the question. "Never mind. Of course you are. You've never cared what other people thought in your entire goddamn life, have you? Or else you'd have given up being a Dark Signer long ago."

2023/09/17 Update - MM is now a complete constructed language

I have put it off for a while but I broke my MM^3 hymen. I didn't intend to agency wise but it is just another predicted PQ/CB milestone that would have happened soon or later. There is six main branches and thirty six sub branches which means that there are probably 216 arbitrary branches if I got my math right. So in total there are 258 non combinatorial end points. I have noticed just by the internal logic of how the MM was designed that combinatorial endpoints just make intuitive sense somehow. I also have diffraction branch loci that are either one M in length or they have some non integer length of one relative M which is essentially a fractal structure. Both approaches to mentally reconstructing the MM have their own benefits. The clearest distinction that fractal branching is clearly non combinatorial as the end points are unique in space and integer M lengths are clearly can be taken as combinatorial or non combinatorial. I don't really need to encode all of the 258+ branches, I am not even considering the fact that I expanded the MM base system to at least a decimal base ten system and it doesn't cover non modal encoding and cryptography. It is clear that the MM is now a fully actualized constructed language given the fact that I have encoded qualia and concepts into M-theory shapes. The amusing thing is that I am intentionally misinterpreting string theory and how to actually how to model higher spatial dimensions than five as it just makes codification so much easier and now it is next to impossible for EVs to get a handle on IO's and SM's machinations now from what I gather of their capabilities.

MM has generative grammar, displacement, an established vocabulary, semantics, and clear ontology for standard communication across many non modal domains. It is a language now officially and I am pretty sure I am the only one who knows it. Even if it has been replicated and I have encoded the schema for that in exocognition, no one is likely to have the exact same ME00xx as me or qualia/intertextuality so effectively MM is both a interpersonal and intrapersonal language which I think has never been done before. It also seems to utilize different areas of cognition and neuro anatomy than typical languages and seems to "run on different pathways".

``I was thinking about what my interpretation of quantum theory would be based upon my current understanding and it would be both accepting and rejecting Copenhagen (CH) and Many Worlds (MW).

CH may initially be the only one may matter on first thought as our middle earth collapsed "global wavefunction" is the only one we will ever exist in. MW has been degraded often because it is messy and wasteful however as an axiom you can rule out considering all branches that don't follow the causality in our observable universe (the boundary between offshoots is unknown) just setting a multiverse axis of directional arrow of time and ignoring all other possibilities. Each plank second every quantized chromodynamic state change or particle interactions described by a generic Feynman diagram can be a branching point in which a new dimension gets created.

Dimension in this state is literally just a new axis of values of which the state change branch is described.

Cranking out models for this may lead to the conclusion that this many worlds dimensional projection of state variation will lead to a meta model where parallel universes, limited by expanded causality can be reverse models by just stepping down quantised steps until (a lot of steps in funky geometries) to the point were it it may be feasible to choose a meta clusters of branch points to a model a universe where literally a solid gestalt choice for you to keep thinking about this entry was enacted or not.

Selecting parameters could be done with funky neural net stuff like this

An important AOI between CH and MW is the weighting on self actualization pressure and memetic dominance. If MW is accurate all I need to is to maximize my future potential for actualization in the current moment or near future. If CH is accurate then I have to actually constantly for fill my potential which means sacrificing focusing on transitional skills and cognitive servomechanisms and specializing far more

It is pretty easy to construct the M-brane representations of qualia using this method. All you have to do is just define an arbitrary set of shapes and train an generative AI to associate them with qualia. The AI doesn't even need to experience or perceive the qualia, it is purely an associative enterprise. Varying one parameter of each of the arbitrary cardinal M-branes will leaded to a sort of library of babble esq data base of most possible qualia experienced by humans, potential qualia that might be experienced in the future, as well as derive arbitrary qualia in the case where https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-blue-and-how-do-we-see-color-2015-2 is evident. This will also define "impossible qualia" that we can't perceive directly like https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Impossible_color

Żmijko what's your favorite polish swear word/phrase to say

oh, I am a simple creature - kurwa, in all its variants, but especially in skurwysyn, do kurwy nędzy, and lately, the verb wykurwić. beautiful to say out loud. beautiful to write down. polish is an incredible language.

non-kurwa related classics include the plethora of chuj variants: chuj wie i chuj mnie to, sometimes as far as chuj mnie to boli, as well as idź pan w chuj. there is the poignant and timeless question: a po chuj? or, if one feels more inclined towards colouring the speech with a note of regional charm, a po kiego chuja?

also, sometimes one must condense their otherwise complex life philiosophy and just say: w piździe to mam. nie zesraj się.

Teacher Assistant Pt. 2

Summary : Your now boyfriend Matty, has had a stressful two weeks and it’s up to you to help him out.

Part 1

Pairing : Professor! Matty x fem!reader

Warnings : Smut, p in v sex, unprotected sex, oral (f! receiving) , slight choking kink, fluff towards the end, name calling.

Word count : 2.1k

Ever since that night in his office, the two of you have been inseparable, constantly sneaking around and sharing stolen kisses when no one was looking. You wished more than anything that your relationship with matty could be public, you both did, but you knew it was strictly taboo for a professor and their subordinate to be involved with eachother, and in a way the forbiddeness of it all made your guys relationship even hotter.

You knew today Matty had a lecture, you also know how hes been very stressed lately with final papers slowly rolling in and deadlines for graded work pushing closer. So you decided to surprise him in class, by putting on the same outfit you always use to wear when you’d visit him to grade papers, a short skirt and a thin blouse, you hoped that it would maybe make him feel a bit better.

He was in the middle of his lecture, when you carefully opened the door, not wanting to bring too much attention to yourself as you entered the lecture hall late. Luckily it was a small class so no one even noticed you entering the building. Slowly you walked down the steps until you made it to the front row, you knew for your plan to work you’d have to sit in the front, it was perfect because most students sat to the back so no one but Matty would see the antics you were about to pull.

When you finally took your seat in the middle of the front row, Matty turned around, he had been writing something on the board when you came in and had his back turned to you. “Ok class so as you can see” he said to his students, before his eyes landed on you, his heart skipping a beat as he took in your appearance. “Um so-so as you can see those are the um four branches of philosophy” he stuttered out, his mind now consumed with the thoughts of what he wanted to do to you.

Matty quickly cleared his throat, an attempt to regain his focus, but it was useless when he saw you slowly cross your legs, skirt riding up ever so slightly to reveal the green lace of your underwear, his favorite. He tried so hard to focus back on his lecture but the aching of his cock in his pants and the sight of your plush thighs and cleavge was too much, and eventually he ended up saying “Class dismissed early, just work on your final papers and have them in by the end of the week”.

The students quickly got up, happy to be leaving early. Once the last student walked out the door, matty walked up to you “And just what do you think you’re doing” he asked, you looked up at him with innocent eyes “What? I just wanted to learn more about Philiosophy” you said, a smile creeping onto your face.

“Do you dress like this for all of your lectures or just for the professors that you want to fuck?” he teased, placing his hand on your thigh as he leaned closer to you. “ Well not all the professors are sexy boyfriend are they?” you said, grabbing his tie to pull him into a kiss. “You’re going to be the death of me” he whispered, you giggled at this statement, “When do you have to be out of the lecture hall?” you ask, moving your lips down his face and to his neck, he groans as you do so “In an hour” he mumbles.

“More than enough time” you point out, he chuckles as he realizes your intentions. “Baby did you do this on purpose?” he asks, “Maybe” you whisper, trailing your hands down his chest, slowly unbuttoning his dress shirt. Before you knew it, Matty picks you up out of your seat, you yelp out in surprise, “You think you can tease me and get away with it” he says, you look up at him, his pupils dilated from lust. “I-” you say, but he quickly silences you by placing his lips to yours and taking you over to the desk, gently placing you down on top of it.

You bite your lip as he pulls away from you, your eyes making there way down to the bulge in his pants, you reach your hands out and slowly palm him through his dress pants, he throws his head back with a moan.

You try to get up from the desk slowly, but he stops you by placing a firm grip on your hips, “sorry darling but bad girls don’t get to suck my cock ” he teases, you whine “but” you try to reason with him. “You want to be a tease well baby it’s time for your punishment” he says, his hands coming up to your blouse, slowly undoing it, you gasp as the cool air hit your bare chest, matty tsks as he takes in your appearance “No bra? You really are a dirty girl” he chuckles, before taking one of your breasts in his hand, slowly kneading it, you moan at the sensation.

You whine when you feel his warm touch leave your chest and slowly make its way down your body till he reaches the the hem of your skirt. “Matty” you beg for any kind of relief, “not my fault you wanted to be a tease baby” he chuckles, before slowly pulling your skirt down your legs. He bends down and places soft kisses on your inner thighs eventually making his way to where you need him most. You feel his hot breath over your core, “Matty” you moan as he places a a kiss over the fabric of your core.

“Mm my perfect little slut wearing my favorite underwear just for me” he teases, before slowly pulling them down your legs, now fully exposed in front of him. You bite you lip trying to hold back a moan as you see him spread your legs wider. Matty gently licks a strip up you core, you grip onto his curls as you feel his tongue hit you, “matty” you moan as he connects his lips with your clit, slowly moving the bud with his tongue.

You pull him closer to you, the feeling of his soft curls on your thighs was something you always enjoyed when he would go down on you. “More” you pleaded, matty obeyed and slowly entered one finger into you, his tongue never stopping its assault on your clit. “ so close” you moaned, this caused matty to enter another finger inside of you. You tugged harshly on his hair as you came, matty moaned as you pulled his hair, slowly licking up your release, trying his best not to waste a drop.

He finally pulled away from your thighs, looking up at you, his chin and lips still wet from your release. He smiled at you before getting up and pulling you into a kiss, you moaned into it as you tasted yourself on his tongue. Your hands grasp onto his belt, quickly undoing it, your fingers then unzip his dress pants pulling them down slightly, just enough to pull his cock out of his briefs. He moans as you take him into your hand, slowly pumping him up and down. “Need to feel you” he groans, you respond by quickly lining him up with you core, gently tapping his hip as a signal for him to move forward. Matty gets the hint and grabs your hips, slowly entering you, you both throw your heads back in pleasure at the new sensation.

“You have no idea how long i’ve been waiting for this” he says into your neck as he pulls himself out of you and thrusts back in. You two hadn’t been able to have sex in a few weeks due to him being extremely busy and stressed. “ Me too” you whisper, pulling him in for a quick kiss, “i know you’ve been stressed lately, so take it out on me baby, destress, do what you need, i’m at your disposal” you say, looking into his eyes and brushing a stray curl from his forehead. “Are you sure? I don’t want to hurt you?” he says, as he buries his cock deep inside of you and stills. “You won’t hurt me baby I promise” you say, matty nods his head “if at any point it’s too much tell me ok?” he says, “ok” you respond back.

Mattys grip on your hips become tighter as he beens to quickly thrust in and out of you, you moan at the new pace, “lay back” he says, slowly pushing you down on the desk until you feel the cool wood on your back. Mattys pace quickens, eachtime hitting a new spot inside of you, which causes him to let out an almost pornographic moan, in your head you hope no one is near the lecture hall so they don’t hear you both.

Mattys hand slowly makes its way up from your hip, all the way up to your neck, your breath hitches at this new position. He looks down at you asking for permission, you nod your head back in response. Gently matty applies pressure to your neck, still holding your hip in one hand and never slowing his thrusts. “M’ close matty” you moan, the sensation of his hand around you neck and the fast speed of his thrusts becoming to much for you, that on top of already being sensitive from your first orgasm.

“Me too baby” he responds, you wrap your legs around his waist, causing him to hit just the right spot in you that has you seeing stars. You eyes close as the band snaps in your stomach, the familiar wave of euphoria washes over your body as you finish around his cock.

Mattys thrusts eventually become sloppy as he finishes inside of you, the feeling of his cum filling you up makes you feel warm inside. He moves the hand that was on your neck, to your cheek and cups it “Hey my sweet girl” he whispers, your eyes flutter open and you smile. “Hi matty” you whisper back, soon both his hands guide you to a sitting position, you slightly wince at the loss of contact as he slowly pulls out of you.

“Shit I don’t have a towel” he says, guilt flashing across his face as he sees both your and his release slowly pouring out of your core and running down your thighs. “Its ok, just hand me my clothes and I’ll go to the bathroom and clean up” you say, as you get off the desk, legs almost collapsing as you do so, this causes matty to grab your side and stablize you so you don’t fall.

He carefully hands you your clothes and helps you get redressed, after helping you he quickly fixes himself up. “Here i’ll go with you” he offers, quickly picking you up bridal style and walking up the stairs and out into the hallway, “Matty what if someone sees” you ask, nervously darting your head back and forth, checking the halls. “There’s no one here, since the next class isn’t for another 45 minutes” he reasures you as he walks to the bathroom.

“You know I can walk Healy” you giggle as he places you down on the counter. “You’re my princess and I shall treat you like one” he says, carefully grabbing a handful of paper towels and weting them, your heart flutters at his comment. “I’m sorry they’re paper towels, but i promise once we get you cleaned up we can go back to my place and I’ll run you a bath, sound good?” he says, you nod your head in response. Matty gently begins to clean you up, being extra careful since the material of the towels is rough. “All cleaned baby” he smiles, quickly throwing the used towels in the toilet and flushing it, making sure not to leave a trace.

“Matty” you say as the two of you walk back to retrieve your stuff. “Yes my love” he says, “You know no guy has ever treated me the way you do, I’m just feel so lucky to call you mine” you say as you pull him into a kiss. Matty smiles “I feel insanely lucky that I get to call you mine, you’re very special to me y/n and I hope you know i don’t intend on ever letting you go” he chuckles, before kissing you again. “The future only sounds good if I get to spend it with you” you say, “I agree” he responds back

I’ve been waiting to comment on this too and I’m not actually quite done with book 1 yet but two thoughts I’ve been rotating are

1- the wizards are accepted as the most powerful guild, which could lead one to see an almost divine right to rule and so they shouldn’t have needed to subject the others with power - there could have been a hierarchy with wizards having a primacy but in practice that should’ve should like service to the People rather than subjugation. Since they took control via deception instead, from the get go that all goes out the window and anyone not a wizard is now subhuman even

2 - i keep coming back to- why does the army of the dead warriors get to dictate the rule changes?? Obviously they were the sacrifice but it’s establishing a democratic approach with zero democracy - do the enchanters, sorcerers, and others get a say in the rules?? How are they agreed upon? (I feel like I remember parts of book 2 relating to some type of ratification or establishment of a weir guild council but since I’m not there yet I can’t speak to it further)

I wish I'd studied more philosophy because I'm having all kinds of thoughts about covenant and intention and reality vs lies

[lesbiancosimaniehaus]

Everything e I have to write out the word “philosophy”, which is often, i think of how saffron burrows said it as “philiosophy” in that terrible Fox show she was in for a minute. And then I misspell it.

I love watching reactions to Epic the Musical but the way people enshrine Polites gets annoying after a while. "Polites is a pacifist!" Polites was fighting a war for 10 years dude he's for sure killed people. "Polites is a sunshine boy!" Okay that's true. "Polites' death is fully on Odysseus and no one else!" HE WAS THE ONE TO TRUST THE LOTUS EATERS. HE PROPOSED THE CAVE PLAN. Odysseus agreed, sure, but Polites fucked up too AND NO ONE MENTIONS IT BECAUSE HE'S SWEET. Well, he was sweet and wrong and now he's sweet and dead.

Polites dies because his way of thinking, even if morally correct, won't get them home in the Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves musical. He dies because he's wrong, and Odysseus lets the cyclops live because he wants to honor his philiosophy and that's the biggest mistake he makes in the whole play (yes, doxing himself is also a part of it and fully his own fault, but still).

Odysseus is responsible for Polites' death because he's in charge and will blame himself forever, but it wasn't his fault. His real fuck up is letting Poliphemus live and revealing his name to him... and both those things happen when Polites is already dead.

So in Archives there were elements of Alchemy, but it was very much a secondary thing, a minor tool. The Panopticon concept is based in Natural Philiosophy (tied to Alchemy). Smirkes attempt to categorise the fears reeks of Alchemical methodology.

Maybe Archivesverse found the Fears before Alchemy was discovered, and that became the driving force 🤔

Absolutely fascinating that the Magnus institute seems to have been founded on alchemy exclusively and then fear was discovered as possibly a separate force but a powerful one pretty early on. There's just something so interesting about the idea of that, how fear shaped the practices of the Magnus institute from almost but not quite the beginning, though the alchemy was still likely the main component. It makes the inner workings of both institute and fear all the more prescient considering how some of its practices were adjacent to the one we knew in archives.
