I see. I read that article. It was interesting. Thanks for sharing. Having said that, I wouldn't be very surprised if say the president of Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality has stocks in a company which has come up with a m

Chaos theory. Everything we do can potentially alter the universe in very big ways. So, every human action is potentially affecting the climate. Having said that, nobody can predict what actions will lead to what kind of effects. It's

Climate minister? Please! Their oil reserves have been projected to run out in 2047 [1]. So, they decide that they're going to close the oil industry by 2050, obviously because of their "deep concern for the environment". I u

Let me introduce you to the concept of projection. We cannot other peoples minds. When we think we're don't that we're reading our own. Since you're doing this, I'm guessing that you have been a cynic before, and yo

I know why people don't listen to the experts. Because they lie. Remember when WHO told everyone that it is harmful to wear masks because it gives people false sense of security? I remember.

What is possible is that some company came up with a non-rubber alternative and is using PR budget to fund research like this.

Yes, lots. But again, I think it's a life situation thing. What is extremely revealing and useful for me could be completely redundant or harmful for you. Having said that, I found the following, in no particular order, worth it to hav

I took the other route and decided to read 100 books in a year. Did that for 3 years. They were mostly top rated or highly popular or highly recommended non-fiction books of all time, including the one pictured in the article. Most books ar

Consider pilots in an aeroplane. Most of flying is automated but there are more pilots than ever. There will never not be pilots. Same will happen to trucks and trains. You may see some sort of fully automated cars in some small cities in t

I was listening to Andrew Yang on the JRE podcast a few days ago and I found out that his entire political platform is built on automation taking away manual jobs, specifically truck driving jobs. Truck driving jobs aren't going anywhe

Apple has the same sort of ownership of M1 as it did with Thunderbolt, maybe a little bit more but not much more than you'd think. Let me explain. Apple has the performance edge now because it purchased ALL of the 5nm chip fabrication

I don't think there is a need for "thinking for yourself" for those to whom it doesn't come naturally. I believe that the human population produces certain number of people with contrarian attitudes as a defense against

"Artificial selection" (which is just a terrible name for coevolution with humans) is different. It happens in a longer time period of time so the rest of the eco-system (including humans) gets to coevolve with it. I know there is

Things like speaking for Koko or "correcting" for her when it seemed like Koko was signing something nonsensical. Uhm, like you do with humans? OK. She would also ask Koko leading questions to get desired responses for cameras
