I think at some point in the future studying consciousness will be as nonsensical as studying the soul. I think that is all we really mean anyway and it is just wrapped up in different packaging. Soul/spirit/consciousness all the

Not any real money. Technical analysis is toolbox for new traders before they lose money to institutions and quit trading. Almost all technical analysis is just slicing and dicing a moving average. There is enough of them to try to keep peo

IMDB shows The Irishman budget as a 159 million. I would suspect it did not make that money back. The studios are in the movie business and not the lighting money on fire business. I think we have just seen a fundamental shift in the tastes

I have absolutely no interest in being a dictator at all. What an utterly insane statement. Some people are actually really secure in themselves believe it not.

To me, the biggest difference is that people reacted as individuals or as two individuals interacting. No one would send out a group email to talk about Bill Clinton and form some kind of group consensus opinion. I think the start of this t

The current alternative to me is a form of digital Epicureanism or digital Stoicism in the sense of intentionally not putting any effort into any kind of online digital presence or content creation. I don't remember anyone being upset

The fitness industry is an endless string of fashions and fads to get people motivated to workout and convince themselves that this new method is the one they will actually do. The novelty of VR aerobics will have the shelf life of Tae Bo,

Doesn't this article mean the opposite though when you have so many leaders over 60? Why would we not want more people in their 50s making decisions vs 70s if we know the brain is slowing down in 60s?

At some point I think this is system 1 vs system 2 thinking in that Daniel Kahneman Thinking Fast Slow context. I am really not sure though if any of my thought is something other than lookup tables and types of joins.

At least in the US, I think medical information might be what saves us across the board. I just think the future probably looks more like HIPAA laws than what we have had with a big tech data free for all. On the other hand, I am not even s

Wendy Carlos Beauty and the Beast is my fav non 12-tet piece of music. It is in two scales she made up herself https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2j1gy2 Terry Riley's Harp of New Albion is awesome as well. https:

You must not play an instrument because this is completely absurd.

Agree. I think you have to look at it as how much a foolish CEO would cost the company. This is such a different situation than a golden parachute for a leader who ran the company into the ground. Basically the opposite situation. I think t

In a non-academic setting though I have not seen the extremely brilliant person get anything other than the promotions they deserve. The problem I have seen is that a huge percent of the average thinks they are that brilliant person when th

It seems like quite a political miscalculation. It makes me wonder who advises him because it really is the type of move you would hope your political opposition makes when future elections are involved.

We seem to have a strange anti-intellectual bias in our culture when it comes to children. I mean I was not pushed hard as a kid to play guitar or play football/wrestling but I was pushed. It took quite a bit of time before I really fe

That is so beautiful. As a plasma user who doesn't use many apps on android I am completely ready to make this switch.
