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.

I’m fascinated by how the formatting of different social media sites affect how text is read.
For instance, a line break on Tumblr indicates a new idea.
But a reblog break indicates that time has passed.

Okay no for real this whole idea of Goncharov is very funny but get your fuckin’ timeline right, okay.
Martin Scorsese had made exactly two movies by 1973, he didn’t have the cachet to make a big budget or even mid budget crime movie about the Naples mafia. Certainly not the greatest mafia movie ever made! Further, he hadn’t yet developed his filmmaking style, let alone his fascination with the criminal underworld, and The Godfather had just come out the year before, so there wasn’t even time to get used to the romantic portrayal of gangsters that Scorsese’s films would act as revisionist responses to! The conversation had barely even started yet!
And then there’s the actors: Robert De Niro was a working actor then, not a huge star — he’d been in a few movies by then, including three from noted trash sommelier Brian De Palma and one from even more noted trash auteur Roger Corman — and he actually worked with Scorsese and Keitel that same year in Mean Streets! He got some acclaim for that performance but it wasn’t like, Godfather level, y’know? Not in terms of fame or notice at least. And Pacino? Pacino’s first major role was The Godfather the previous year! That was his third film ever! He did Serpico in ‘73! He hadn’t even done Dog Day Afternoon yet! And he didn’t work with Scorsese until The Irishman, which came out in 2019!
Really, y’all, what you’re imagining, the movie you’re all spinning out of thin air here, probably came out in like, 1983, not ‘73. Probably in place of Scarface or something (which for my money would be an improvement). You’ve got De Niro post-Deer Hunter and Taxi Driver, he’s worked with Scorsese before, you’ve had two excellent Godfather films to build a mythology of the romantic gangster around for Scorsese to play with. You’ve got Pacino after shit like Serpico and Cruising, he’s in his prime. You’re still pre-Goodfellas for Scorsese, so he hasn’t gone sicko mode yet, but he’s done great movies that got noticed and he’d be able to pick up a budget and a production company to go to Naples. He’s worked with big studios, he’s got some clout. Now is the time for Goncharov!
But nooo, all this happened before you were born so it’s all vague and nebulous “before-times.” What’s the difference between 1973 and 1983? Who cares? Well I do! And now you know! History matters okay!! Learn ya history!!!
i think this is my favorite reconciliation of established goncharov lore with scorsese’s actual film career

chekov’s cat: if you see a cat, it will probably be relevant later.
schroedinger’s gun: there’s no way to know if a gun is loaded or not until you physically inspect and check it yourself, so it’s safest to assume all guns are loaded.
