My politics

Sun, 02 Jun 2024 00:00:00 -0600

the nature of my politics is reflective: my politics are whatever mark zuckerberg’s politics are

Proposed acronyms

Sat, 30 Sep 2023 00:00:00 -0600

Proposed acronyms:

LEVIOLP -> LEV-In-One’s-Lifetime Pessimist
LEVIOLO -> LEV-In-One’s-Lifetime Optimist

Where LEV is longevity escape velocity

(eg “as a LEVIOLP with long-ish AGI timelines, my retirement strategy is…”)

Optionally, add the AGI timelines component for fun: LEVIOLPSAGIT, LEVIOLPLAGIT, etc…
