I've just had ChatGPT generate a drawing of Pico le Croco @picolecroco .
It's so good that honestly it really does kill a bit art/artists.
Do I still fancy drawing that character? Yes: it's relaxing to draw, + there's still something special about hand-made drawings and DIY. But nonetheless it lessens the motivation a bit...
And this is just a hobby of mine, not a work that gives me food.
I don't know what to think of that, but for sure, things are going to change.
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men. #stoicism #life #philosophy

Very pleased to announce the next Gavin David Young lecture in philosophy will be my friend Barry Lam (UC Riverside) talking on ‘Self-versus-Self Conflicts’.
Trauma is not a rupture in what should have been — it’s part of what is.
Reminder:
No one who loves you will tell you, "Either you love me, or die!".
Much less, "Either you obey me, or I'm taking you into the basement and setting you on fire for all eternity!"
No one who loves you tells you, "You're so horrifically evil, you should feel lucky to have me!", or, "No one else will ever love you the way I do!", or, "You are WORTHLESS without me!"
Fuck Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy (1877–1947)

Happy World Quantum Day!
Quantum physics has been one of my intense autistic passions or interests since my adolescence. For many years, I was deeply curious about the intersection of quantum physics and other subjects such as philosophy, neuroscience, Zen practice, and martial arts. It remains a fascinating world for my curious mind and informs much of my thinking. Because of this subject, I ended up studying physics and electronic engineering in my youth.

Instead of asking like Sartre did, "what would happen if everybody did what I'm doing?", we should instead ask, "what would happen if nobody else did this but me?" It's a far deeper question with a much more profound answer.
I’m not here to prevent harm.
I’m here to honor the soul’s experience—whatever it asks for, however it arrives.
What’s meant to be will be, even if it breaks us first.
This isn’t mean or cruel. It’s trust in the balance of the Universe.
The human experience isn’t just about what we do, but also how we hold what we feel, how we process what we think, and what we allow ourselves to imagine. Your inner world has just as much impact on the world around you as your actions and words do. You don’t have to speak or act for your existence to mean something.
