LOL Peak HN. “If it isn’t computers or viable within materialist reductionism and requires attention or effort then it’s elitist” Maybe you just need to study more. I wouldn’t want a half baked english student (in some perspectives, I might

“High performance” people don’t take quiet jobs like that because it’s a sink. They take jobs like that to stay well, well away from toxic, imperialist crap like the band you see gathered behind Trump in his inauguration photos… I wish more

Rome wasn’t a bronze age civilization. Bronze age civilizations had money. Coins as we think of them became widespread in the iron age. Shekels, for instance, go back much further.

Ignoring my point doesn’t make it go away. Using an AI tool to create an image of a painting betrays the person who seeks to be “artist” by short circuiting the practice that leads the prospect to their path of enlightenment through mastery

This is it, isn’t it? Thats why all the effort pours in to make these machines produce rembrandt and tolstoy copies. And why I still have to do my taxes by hand rather than the machine handling it with speed and accuracy. It’s the core of i

In the past we called that tyranny, when a power thought it could act entirely without restraint. Now I guess it’s defended as good business and good science by so many flunkies. Knifes edge stuff. Tech people should all be reading the book

Reminds me of the (so called) engineering teams I’ve worked with at high profile startups who dealt primarily with their software based on “code smell”. It was amazing. If you accomplished something that didn’t make your boss look smarter t

Should it be called “healthily” or “contactful” instead? Lol Startup names are so stupid

Yes they did… they edited their comment after I responded and could no longer edit mine. You just looking for an argument? Its important people know writing and roads weren’t invented by the romans. They are given way too much credit by Ame

That’s good. Ideally we won’t have a scattering of profit seeking engineering firms casting magnetic fields everywhere when we have the most cursory scientific understanding of high spin metals in the brain. If anything, we might reassess o

Doesn’t it require Expo’s servers for a development environment? All these companies have given up on the gold rush long ago and are just slinging fancy shovels.

Ridiculous. Life is not about getting the most money. You can’t eat money, doesn’t matter how much you have. Someone, somewhere has to do work that makes less money for some other gain so that you can eat what you do. By that standard if su

Careful. Trying to detach profitability from utility and necessity, nevermind any higher level ethical or philosophical questions, may get you strung up around here.

Almost like claimed “control” is no control at all and yet more people are convinced of their power over life while displaying their helplessness and lack of wisdom. I guess that’s science now: learn one small thing and project it over ever

Naive, eh? Your experience is your own in this world. Your heart’s path is your own to choose, and that is where any culture and love and beauty result. I think it would be naive to say that no culture, love, and beauty came about in spite

Suppose if we enabled people to create more and toil less we may have more fun. Instead, we seem to have taken the route to make people toil more, chained to a computer or factory line, while the machines churn out digital imitations and an

I suggest you expand the scope of your reading in that case… The help you’re seeking might be in the things or concepts you consider so absurd

There is a huge problem looking at issues as if our entire lens can only go back 150-200 years. Go back a few more hundred years and the lines between rich and poor man’s intent start to blur—especially in Ireland. If all things were equal

Tell me, why dont you “drill down” and explain what is so pretentious about suggesting you might need to commit yourself to a practice in order to understand it. A pencil and paper are far cheaper and more accessible than a laptop and onlin

Obsolete for what purpose? I dont think any aspiring artist, professional or otherwise, was ever deeply concerned about their future prospects in creating corporate graphics or mechanical pop songs. It was a fast buck, that’s all. Attemptin

You know that people can see you as you sit there sharpening your teeth. I dont think anybody who has taken up an artistic practice, professional or otherwise, should or would spend much time basing their life decisions around an online job

In all views. It certainly isn't a checkbox. Why don’t you shelve the pretentious corporate rhetoric yourself and re-read what I’ve suggested. Get off the computer and pick up a pencil, or mound of clay, or whatever, and give it a few

I think its a very good sign to see people deep within the industry having emergent intuitions about the direction of the entity that puts food on their table… But please, please dedicate more time to reading outside your sphere and beyond

The message in the book seems to be that Sun failed out of weakness and it could happen to fb as well if they don’t eat the world.

There is no singular, “real” Grail story as such. Ignore the lines about Disney, though I enjoyed their version of the sword in the stone. Thats from a retelling written in the early 20th century. The grail legend as we have it was largely

It certainly is a Celtic tale. Not in its present form. Most tellings are derived from later medieval retellings. Arthur and graal cycle are in turn composed from even older Indo-European mythical elements. (Hint: his name means bear https
