I'm back from a week along Colombia's Caribbean coast! It wasn't a photography trip per se but I did manage a few sessions, and I'll be posting buggy highlights over the next weeks. Here's a teaser, a little stingless bee pollinating Mexican sunflower:

i don't get why someone can't say that but also call themselves a nihilist. sure, it's less confusing and more precise to identify with absurdism, which is why i prefer to do so. but is that belief actually mutually exclusive with nihilism?

my understanding was that absurdism and existentialism and nihilism all involve a belief that there's no objective meaning and also that none of them inherently prescribe conclusions to draw from that

i don't disagree because i know what's meant by nihilism here, but i wish people didn't treat nihilism and doomerism as equivalent. there are a lot of nihilists for whom the belief that life has no objective meaning changes nothing about the made-up meaning that's kept them going

if this were actually true then people would use those words interchangeably, but they don't.

My favorite debate question came during the 2020 Dem primary debates when (I think?) Julian Castro was asked point-blank "Scientists project that Miami is one of several major cities in the US likely to be underwater by the end of this century. When would you start mass evacuations?"

i think there's an obvious middle ground here that you're pretending doesn't exist. do you actually think it has to be either sole blame or no blame?

even if this was true, it's a ridiculous reason to be okay with an occupation force composed of arab states. as if "palestinian" being a new noun somehow means every arab is the same and that an occupation by arab states is equivalent to self-determination.

palestinians are no more in support of hamas than israelis are in support of the IOF, and the latter is a fairly terroristic organization in its own right. do you consider israeli civilians to be terrorist supporters of whom there is some acceptable number to kill?

you can fit so much more of a conlang into 2 and 3 letter words if you turn each word into a large group of homonyms that are semantically distant enough that they'll almost never be confused for one another

When we talk about "taxing rich people" there's folks who think we're talking about Aunt Edna who has the second summer home. The astronomical levels of "rich" that now exist are almost unfathomable to people. It's the stuff of vast empirical dynasties. We're talking about taxing emperors.
