  • Was not aware of bookwyrm so thank you. Having some community definitely helps with motivation.

    Funnily enough, How Democracies Die is technically on my hard books list that I simply can’t get past the first chapter. It’s tricky to find time and determine what is a worthwhile struggle vs just a unworthwhile pain.

    Appreciate your answer and recommendations! Will have to take it 2 pages at a time as you say haha.






    Ouch.

    But thank you? a. For considering my attempt at formatting and absurdity with clankers. I would argue that to be human is to accept the absurdity of it all. But I guess it is getting tricky…

    Out of curiosity, I did ask some llms my baby throwing question:

    • perplexity just straight up said no. Unethical question.
    • Chatgpt treated it like a physics problem. All while asking me about technique…
    • deepseek gave a balanced reply. Followed by “Do not attempt”. Which I thought was fair.

    b. For at least entertaining my notion I understand that it’s all subjective… that’s why I was trying to define a scale, or at least a comparison.

    c. You did help me get closer to an answer. If I take a loose definition of Trust as being my ability to predict its behaviour [and its ability to not harm me] (which I think is fair but arguable…), I would trust a rock more than an adult (and somehow even a baby more than an adult). In my hypothetical world, a trusted consenting adult would help me throwing them thus increasing the overall distance. So the positive correlation is more fitting in most cases (at least in that assumption).

    I fully acknowledge the absurdity and the stupid premise. I thought this was nostupidquestions.

    {Edited to try fix formatting… Ugh can’t. It stays. Thank you for bearing with me! Hope you have a nice day.}
