Thymos appears to be related to a good political order in some way, because it is the source of courage, public-spiritedness, and a certain unwillingness to make moral compromises. The good political order needs to be something more than a mutual non-aggression pact, according to these writers; it must also satisfy man’s just desire for recognition of his dignity and worth. But thymos and the desire for recognition are much broader phenomena than these two examples would suggest. The process of valuation and self-valuation pervades many aspects of day-to-day life that we commonly think of as economic: man is truly “the beast with red cheeks.”

73 ♥ · x.com →
· ↳ reply to @tszzl
We are thus left with an apparent contradiction. The founders of the Anglo-Saxon tradition of modern liberalism sought to banish thymos from political life, and yet the desire for recognition remains all around us in the form of isothymia. Was this an unexpected outcome, the result of failure to suppress what ultimately could not be suppressed in human nature? Or is there a higher understanding of modern liberalism that tries to preserve the thymotic side of the human personality rather than exiling it from the realm of politics?

No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come, but condense, if you will, the 50,000 years of man’s recorded history in a time span of but a half-century. Stated in these terms, we know very little about the first 40 years, except at the end of them advanced man had learned to use the skins of animals to cover them. Then about 10 years ago, under this standard, man emerged from his caves to construct other kinds of shelter. Only five years ago man learned to write and use a cart with wheels. Christianity began less than two years ago. The printing press came this year, and then less than two months ago, during this whole 50-year span of human history, the steam engine provided a new source of power.  Newton explored the meaning of gravity. Last month electric lights and telephones and automobiles and airplanes became available. Only last week did we develop penicillin and television and nuclear power, and now if America’s new spacecraft succeeds in reaching Venus, we will have literally reached the stars before midnight tonight. This is a breathtaking pace, and such a pace cannot help but create new ills as it dispels old, new ignorance, new problems, new dangers. Surely the opening vistas of space promise high costs and hardships, as well as high reward.  So it is not surprising that some would have us stay where we are a little longer to rest, to wait. But this city of Houston, this State of Texas, this country of the United States was not built by those who waited and rested and wished to look behind them. This country was conquered by those who moved forward — and so will space.

used to believe this but "limited supply of GPUs, datacenters and megawatts" is a strong assumption given progress in making smart models smaller & cheaper all the while compute progress continues apace. if it's possible to simulate ten trillion digital minds of roughly human level intelligence it's hard to make this claim. in some cases, if there is a model that produces extreme economic value we could probably spec out a custom chip to run it 1000x cheaper than currently viable on generic compute. maybe add in some wildcards like neuromorphic low energy computation or something. my overall point there is an OOM range of human level intelligences extant on earth where the claim remains true and a OOM range where it doesnt the argument may apply for a few years

around a percent of Americans are of Indian origin. there’s only one culture that’s annihilated in that exchange, and it’s not the host — you’d be hard pressed to find a second generation Indian immigrant that regularly visits a hindu temple or something. even when you find the odd Indian American hating on America you can be pretty much sure this is a result of assimilating with an ascendant liberal culture which made it fashionable to do so. I have some attachments to the culture of my parents, but over time I’ve basically come to understand it’s a sideshow in history, I doubt I would teach my children the language unless they were curious. Whether you think it has value or not, it’s doomed. The energy of the immigrant from the imperial edge is extremely valuable; someone who hasn’t yet had all their symbols shredded by living in the core, someone willing to eat shit and feel pride anyways, but it dissipates in a generation
