The data are skewed by the lazy (low conscientiousness) people who tend to both, a) never go to college, b) never get a job. I’d be wary of generalizing based on skewed data like that. Control for conscientiousness (big five) or don’t bothe

I’ve always enjoyed trying to click the moving apps, like a little video game I get to play to break up the monotony of my computing adventure.

Manager types want to manage other people. Manager types basically run the world. They don’t want to manage robots, they want to manage over people. The manager types will find ways to manage over people no matter what. It’s hardwired. Hum

As a daily vscode user, I can report that it doesn’t have my mindshare, I’ve just adopted a realism wrt Microsoft’s state sanctioned monopoly and need to get work done. It’s convenient only because msft can make it inconvenient not to use i

This seems like something that’s changed in recent decades, as would be predicted of course. Most of the older rich people I know were not from upper class homes. Younger rich people (born after 1990) seem to come predominantly from upper

Thinking that critical thinking is a specific thing (what makes one thought “critical” vs any other?) shows a lack or critical thinking. Thinking critically is not.

The most popular conspiracy theory is The Rich People Rule The World Conspiracy Theory. No amount of debunking seems to move the needle. People think a wealthy elite control everything and that all or most human problems can be solved by t

A lot of museums have free or low cost days or are perpetually free or low cost for certain communities. I have to wonder if higher prices for those who “pay retail” price isn’t just subsidizing a lot of free museum experiences for underser

Not my experience. It’s often removed by unlicensed handy men who don’t have any training or much awareness and who will tell you candidly that they think it’s not really dangerous anyway. At least that’s been my experience as a renter here

I couldn’t disagree more. It actually worries me that so many people seem to be making this mistake, simultaneously.

You make the mistake of thinking people are all the same and don’t respond to incentives. I automatically call certain companies rather than try to use their website because get this their website sucks. If I encounter any automated chat su

250 billion isn’t much relative the revenue and expenditures of governments. Government operates in the trillions. California lost 40 billion in a couple months trying to administer unemployment insurance, something you would expect a gover

If they were a major player it wouldn’t be so subtle, it would be an industry wide problem. Alcohol causes pancreatic cancer for sure, but sulfites specifically? I’d beed a lot of evidence to believe that.

“as yet” is doing a lot of work in that first sentence. We all have a gpt number. Like some small number of workers have already been replaced by gpt4, some it will not be until gpt7, some may out code the robots till gpt9.5… Having a highe

I wasn’t saying he’s smarter than you! I was just saying he’s one example of someone who has been saying for a decade or so that we’re headed for conflict in Eastern Europe. That he overestimated to rationality of world leaders is entirely

“Nobody was predicting a major European land war.” I don’t think that entirely accurate. Mearshiemer is one prominent example. Nuland being another.

Cancer can take 50 years to develop. Aspartame is from the 80s, so maybe we’d only now be noticing the beginning of the wave of cancers, assuming our ability to notice is not limited, which I think the pandemic should make you wonder about.

Hubris. It’s not a fault exclusive to whites. We favor the latest greatest “trust the science” of the moment over traditional but non-scientific (in our estimation) public policies. Expand your mind. There’s much more to learn from history
