    I now find that when I come to a problem’s conclusion I often do look back and think, “how could I have thought that faster?”

    Unironically trying to think as little as possible

    1. Find your favourite sequence post, LW Post, etc

    2, Take the more beautiful or poetic lines and dump them into a note

    This in the style of Taylor Swift:

    So I broke up with Alice over a long conversation that included an hour-long primer on evolutionary psychology in which I explained how natural selection had built me to be attracted to certain features that she lacked. I thought she would appreciate this because she had previously expressed admiration for detailed honesty. Now I realize that there’s hardly a more damaging way to break up with someone. She asked that I kindly never speak to her again, and I can’t blame her.

    I’m going to Sylvia Plath my hearing by getting the largest guitar amp I can find, cranking it to 11, and putting my acausal head in front of it so I can forget what sound is after hearing this nonsense.
