Yea that was peculiar. Could possible be that those in a position that r forced to optimize for money, which saps the enjoyment/fulfillment out of it

Yea I do enjoy that new(ish) discussions section feature. Anecdotally have found those to return more relevant results than the old site:reddit.com in google

That’s wild. I wonder if those people were just so immersed that they never actually took a step back and considered the larger picture? Cuz anecdotally ik some advertisers that don’t consider themselves “advertisers” but rather their ads a

Got it thanks. I’ve been meaning to dive further into Obsidian (like a markdown notion) and really optimize its backlinks and everything

Yea I saw iPhone usage was mentioned in the docs and I have no idea how that’s done. I’ve only tried through my laptop with iMessage sync by issuing $ sqlite3 ~/Library/Messages/chat.db and then performing some sql commands

I plan to expand on this in a reply to ur other comment once I get my thoughts more distilled but I first wanted to mention how strange it is to basically read a description of myself lol. And do u have any sort of logging structure for org

> However if I'm listening to electronica (no vocals, e.g. progressive trance), I can listen to it while working. Entirely agree, I’m listening to a Hernan Cattaneo mix rn, which is more prog house (tho I’ve read about the impassion

Oh this looks great! I’ve crudely been querying the iMessage’s chat.db to export convos to txt files so this is a much more elegant option

Yea websites straight up ignore it. Can’t currently find it but there was some wired/verge article detailing what they track of u and they actually mentioned as such too

I didn’t previously know of this guy, but I also hoped there would be more discussion of the artwork cuz I really like it. The uBO shield was such a nice touch as well. Thanks for adding some context to Revoy, I’ll definitely check out more

Enjoyed that excerpt. It is a pretty profound thing to think about, I can’t imagine actually experiencing that realization

I especially love Dan aggregating previous discussions on <topic>. Equally appreciate the other users that do the same. It’s nice to go and check out how perceptions have changed (if it’s a thing with longer time horizon) or just addi

I’m pretty sure they’re referring to people that promote an idea/say something solely in exchange for money

Yea I found there were a lot more FF config settings to disable as well. These threads always unfold the same way tho. Brave gets lambasted by some, the people that enjoy using Brave end up being “well actually” guys etc etc. And I use both

There’s a select few mullvad addresses that don’t trigger it but the majority I use I’ll get hit with them. I honestly find it more concerning when I’m expecting one and I don’t get served a ridiculous puzzle to solve.

Yes obviously everything happens for a “reason.” However I’m talking about the majority that internalizes that phrase as indicating there’s some predetermined sequence of events and stars aligning whatever. Not the “since everything happens

Yea the 538 stuff (at least that audience) is a prime example of the McNamara fallacy[0]. It’s easy for people to find comfort in what can/is being measured and appoint it as objective truth, and consequently disregard anything that ca

Yea it’s pretty disheartening that these r common experiences. Admittedly, I don’t kno a ton about UBI but I’d imagine the idea of giving people more security so they can pursue their interests in careers and not have to suffer thru a daily

Yea I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently. I think us fixating so much on monetary richness can b harmful to society and too little is made of general “wealth” (drawing some inspiration from pg’s how to make wealth ). There’s a lot
