There is a big issue with importing Snipd snippets from the Snipd application.

First of all, it's not importing the transcript itself, which is the most important part; it only imports AI-generated text, which does not represent the full transcript.

Second, regarding tagging: it's not generating Screvi tags. It just puts the keyword tags I specified in Snipd at the top of the snippet, but they are not converted to Screvi tags.

Even though importing highlights from Snipd is a great feature, it needs to be polished and made usable. Until the full transcript is imported, I don't think this feature can be considered working.

This is how imported snippet looks like in Screvi

Modern Cynicism Pretends To Be Maturity

• Modern cynics claim realism as maturity, using pessimism to feel intellectually superior instead of changing things.

• Sloterdijk says this posture masks avoidance: it defends feeling superior while skipping self-critique and real effort.

It's a person whose whole ethos, when it comes to world events, government, corporate world, love, relationships, whatever it is, their whole approach can be summed up by the mantra That they love to repeat to themselves, that things are really messed up out there. But hey, what can you really do about it? That's just the way the world is. Again, starting with the most visible example here, because it's kind of fun too. It's very possible in today's world, Slaughterdike thinks, to run into someone who uses cynicism as a kind of psychological defense mechanism in their own life. The idea is, I've looked out at the world around me, and unlike all these other people, I see through how compromised everything truly is. Once again, governments corrupted by power, corporations are greedy, doesn't really matter what the specific theory is. The point for the modern cynic is that the problems we're dealing with are so massive, and the system to even potentially fix them is so broken, that any of these morons out there that Are still trying to do things to make the world a better place, they're either uneducated about how bad it really is, naive about the impact their personal efforts can actually bring About. Mainly though, the big crime of most people in the eyes of a cynic is that they just aren't ready to be as realistic as I'm being that this is the way the world really works. It's in this way that cynicism in someone often pretends on the surface like it's a kind of maturity, like I'm the one willing to be the adult in the room, while the rest of you go around And cosplay like you're actually going to change something.</blockquote> </details>

Today we talk about the book Critique of Cynical Reason by Peter Sloterdijk. Cynicism as a defense mechanism. Why the cynic isn't crazy. The way it ladders up into institutions and infects things like our language. Diogenes as a counter example of a mode of being that rejects pieces of society.
