I have a really interesting thought experiment. One which would further explain why the gods don't seem to punish all the wicked or why none seem to listen. It's because just like a normal being, it can only see what it sees. Does a tree that falls in an empty forest make a sound? The answer is that no one cares besides the tree...because no one who could answer was there to hear it.

Yeah, it was a real mind-boggling moment when I finally saw all these scientific papers in the computer science field are a bunch of useless bs. Like, I'm glad I learned this, but it did piss me off heavily. I was reading so much crap only to learn NOTHING. Nothing was useful; it was all bs. Like, the whole "publish or perish" phrase is true af. They literally just publish anything just to have crap published. And wild enough, these random journals are happily publishing them too. It makes me wonder then what are the boundless amount of trash that wasn't "worthy" of their journal seal? Like, if THESE are the papers that get through...the ones that don't must be absolute Bantha poo doo.



But yeah, future Jabari here, relistening to this is an interesting ordeal because I made a project that could EASILY be the most profound paper in existence on my own without some bs doctorate... just tells you all this crap is just a big nepotist circle jerk. There's literally nothing special about these professors or doctorate students. Just people who can bs their way into writing slop in a fancy way.

Like, don't get me wrong, vibe coding is very helpful, and I use it. I even potentially in the future (for this podcast) vibe coded the irrelevancy of the current vibe coding, but you have to use it properly. Similar to managing a worker or trainee, you don't just go “okay, due this and this, and I expect it to be done by Friday, and it better work or I'll be mad!"... no, you give proper plans and expectations. You have to know your own project in and out, so in the inevitable situation where the worker misinterpreted your request or messed up, you can easily pivot. You need to test thoroughly so crap doesn't sneak attack you. You need to constantly understand the potentials of what could happen AND understand what is happening currently. Read over the code that is written and understand it.



Sadly, people even at the highest levels "vibe code" and literally just vibe. They don't look over and don't give af. And then, lo and behold, it’s glitches galore.

I truly think this. Like everything that's new is going to be hard, but you do it daily, it will become easier. No matter what it is. I don't care how complicated or if you literally have never done it before. You will learn it. It could even be something insane like some type of science or math or engineering or medical or whatever tf. Like look at war, they have to train random kids fresh out of high school to do stuff they could never imagine during boot camp in about a month and then boom, they are told to risk your life on the battlefront or help build stuff to risk people’s lives on the battlefront. The only reason people can't learn stuff in a month is they don't have the motivation to do it. But I bet if they are struggling to pay bills/need money/etc etc, and get some job that's beyond their skillset...within the month they will be nearly full performance.

Like, don't get me wrong... I'm Black...and will always be Black. My parents are Black. Culturally, regardless of my suburban upbringing, I am Black...but there is a disconnect. I will never understand or naturally feel connected to the Black people of different upbringings. It just isn't possible. Like, would you expect some Washington state hippy af van life person to connect with a southern af “I’m from dixie" ah Confederate flag waving country south twang white person? No, of course not. So why do we, for some reason, act as if all Black people are hive-minded?

Perhaps one of the most profound religiously philosophical questions of all. What if your god wasn't actually attractive? Or worse, what if it didn't even look like our species? It's a very interesting predicament. Even more so because it's probably the case. Religion is as old as time, and we do remixed retellings of older stories. So if there is a grain of truth somewhere, that grain of truth from a forgone age whose people are ugly af by our modern standards... and those ugly af people are the ones god based off their selves....

Just a bit of a list of types of friendship tropes you either have to watch out for or keep your distance from. You can still be friends with them; still hang out frequently, but you have to know ahead of time these traits and prepare for them ahead of time. You don't want these types of people ruining your mental state or ambitions, so you always have to be wary and not let these types get to your head.

Yeah, a bit of loaded mini-wiz. TBH, I think if I suddenly learned everything came from China or like all religious god identities were actually whatever tf Chinese yellow emperor whatever stuff... like I'd be slightly disappointed but then slowly just not care. We’re all human. The whole cultural identities are more of a modern invention and it's cringe anyhow. Even then, that whole thought still remains: “At what point were they considered Chinese?" Like they probably would see modern-day Chinese and go "huh? That’s not what we are!" because humans in general physically, culturally, and mentally have completely changed since the early days. We changed heavily even from a couple of centuries ago.
