People are terrible at predicting the future. The human brain is not using magic to operate. The 100 billion neurons in the human brain are a lot but it's not an impossible number. Right now we're trying to craft intelligence as a

To be fair, the first 20 years don't count. That's just the beginning and the brain is still developing while being crammed full of miscellaneous junk. Many people die of cancer much earlier. Never ever take life for granted.

Sorting algorithms are taught as part of every CS degree and C is still used today. The only real change is there are a lot more low-quality programmers than there used to be. If you have to cheat to pass a test I think that would tell the

Yes, nothing at all to do with Paul Allen, the wires just crossed in my brain. No I don't think it's anything like separating songs from their creators. L. Ron Hubbard conducted seminars on Dianetics and later authored the self-he

Running, yoga, and/or calisthenics. Don't overdo it. The goal is to get your metabolism back up to baseline and stop muscle atrophy. The habit is far more important than the number on the scale.

I'm not reading too far into things, I'm looking at things objectively. At the beginning of the book, Allen thanks his "spiritual coach J-R." He is referring to John-Roger, the founder of the MSIA cult. GTD started as se

Do you use GTD on a daily basis and does it help you? I found the system terrible and convoluted. David Allen is a member of The Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness, which I've read is a cult. The history of the system seems a bit sh

Cloud services come with a nominal fee? I'm clutching my pearls. Think what you can do with $10. You could buy a happy meal but instead you're left with a sad meal one day a month.
