yudkowsky’s belligerence here is honestly adorable

What the fuck did you just fucking say about reality, you biased little bitch? I’ll have you know that reality graduated top of its class in the Level IV Multiverse, and has been involved in numerous quantum branches, and has over 10^80 confirmed particles. It is trained in the standard model and generates the top quark and all four fundamental forces. You are nothing to it but just another proper part. It will wipe you the fuck out with inevitability the likes of which has repeatedly been demonstrated on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to reality over the Internet?  Think again, fucker. As we speak reality is contacting its pervasive configuration space across the observable universe and your light cone is being traced right now so you better prepare for the incredulity, maggot. The incredulity that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your classical intuitions. You’re fucking quantum, kid. Reality is anywhere, anytime, and it can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with vacuum collapse. Not only is reality extensively trained in modeling itself, but it has access to the entire arsenal of the Large Hadron Collider and it will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the wavefunction, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “counter-intuitive” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. It will shit paradoxes all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking quantum, kiddo.

Life path unlocked. He’s a scientist now.

If your dad is telling you in great detail about something he’s passionate about, you’re going to be hooked even if you don’t understand a word.

He tells us more…

So now I have to deliver a quiet lecture on the Standard Model every night. He loves lists of things, like all the streets home from daycare, or the train stations between here and Central, so he loves hearing the list of leptons and quarks and bosons.

Anyway, I made this poster for him, based on the CPEP ones we used to have at uni .

Alas I ran out of room for antimatter, colour charge and confinement, but hey, maybe there can be a second poster later.

It’s funny though — on the surface of it, it seems like it must be far too advanced for a 3yo. But when you think about it, quarks and leptons are no more or less real to him than, say, dinosaurs or planets, and he loves those too. And he recognises the letters on the particles.

I am absolutely overwhelmed by the kind and sweet things people are saying about this, thanks everyone ❤️

Addendum: he has really grasped onto the “everything is made of atoms” part of this, so tonight he listed just about every object he could think of and asked if it was made of atoms.

“And my bed?”
Yes, and your bed.
“And that wall?”
Yep.
“And the armchair?”
Yes, the armchair too.


“And… the book case?”
Y—

“And my home?”
Yep, the whole apartment block.
“And your home? Oh wait, your home is my home.”
Haha, it is.


“But is it made of atoms?”
Yep.
“And… [best friend]’s home?”
Yes, it is. And [other friend]’s home, and [third friend]’s home.

“Is [yet another friend]’s home?”

Update from the other night:

“Is my… is… [extremely long pause] is my atoms poster made up of atoms?”
—Yes! Yes it is.

I have never heard such a contemplative silence. I think the next poster will have to be on the philosophy of referential language.

Update from this morning: after listing everything in sight (mummy? daddy? fridge? milk? cereal? table? etc.) he asks “is [baby sister] made up of atoms?”

yep!

*runs over to her on the floor*
*puts face up real close to hers*
“HI! YOU’RE MADE UP OF LOTS OF ATOMS! DID YOU KNOW?”

This is so pure and good.

I am actually weeping with secondhand joy over here.

@ms-demeanor personally i’m on board for this whole “fundamental aspects of physics are toxins” thing. i for one think we need to purge our bodies of the weak interaction, because of its unnatural asymmetry. that can’t be good for us. probably caused by gluten or something.

!!! RIGHT-HANDED PARTICLES DO NOT INTERACT !!!

***neutrinos do not interact***
