How Does Capitalism Make Inefficiency "Rational"?

A short n sweet explanation of how profit maximization doesn't always lead to efficiency, even in theory.


There Are 4 Genders

A novel and easy-to-apply theory of gender that addresses the multiplicity of "woman."


On On War

A 21st-century summary of the foundational military text On War, by Carl von Clausewitz. Think I did a pretty good job at making an introduction to military theory!


Black Cohosh for Transsexual HRT

An almost-scientific writeup of my results from experimenting with using black cohosh to block the negative symptoms of having 0 estrogen or testosterone.


lacuna's guide to raw estradiol

A guide on how to get & use raw estradiol for oral or sublingual administration. DIY rights!


Math Operators

Unfinished. While working on the LTI post, I got confused about what complex multiplication "meant," which made me confused about normal multiplication, so I decided to just take a fresh look at the whole shebang.


A Tale of 3 AIs

One of the posts I'm most proud of! About robotics and ontology.


Linear Time-Independent Systems

Unfinished pedagogical piece trying to explain linear time independent systems and fourier transforms. Doesn't assume much background knowledge - maybe a bit of coding syntax?


AI Isn't Good at Math

I got mad at seeing harmful stereotypes of robots in media, so I decided to correct the record. Also includes a really cool diagram!!


Innate vs Explicit Knowledge

A nice fun explanation of an epistemological distinction I make, via basketball hypotheticals.


Contexting

Unfinished piece about epistemology.


Traffic Light Simulator

Interactable article to try to let you empathize with a traffic light! Pretty proud of this one.


ARCI

The Addiction Research Center Inventory, a quiz that asks you about how you're feeling to try to determine what drug you're on.


Maps

the writing style in this one is annoying but I think I'm making a kinda cool point. Marks the start of my ?current? thinking on ontology.


Lacuna's Guide to Escaping Shame

F1RST P0ST!!! Uhh it's about shame and how shame is bad. Somewhat inspired by Stirner. Talking about this with some friends helped them so I decided to make it a blog post instead. No longer 100% on board with these arguments but I think it's a good thing for everyone to pass through.
