Huh, what are the 4 noble truths if not a doctrine that instructs people to go towards the 8 paths? And if you chose to dismiss the religious and cultish parts, you can also find a lot of value in Jesus teaching about unconditional love and

Many Buddhist texts are full of supernatural claims about afterlife, the worlds of demons and devas, about prayers opening the earth to see flowers giving you the text of Buddha, that sort of things. Thinking Buddhism focuses on the philoso

France learns anti-authoritarianism like a GAN: we become good at it by training better and smarter tyrants and fighting them.

I think this is a cool but really not proper way of showing airflows. Better just add sparkling dust or use Schlieren imaging.

Yeah, no (sorry). As a French, I often feel this part is misunderstood pretty badly. The second part is right: it is "why?" first. The "say no first" I think is not a French thing, that's the result of the clash bet

French in Japan. I realized I was really overly critical of everything. I started forcing myself to say good things first (without lying) wherever I was doing an appreciation about something. I think the french habit is to jump to the flaws

You know what I find the most frustrating? The totally illegitimate laws that allow these state secrets to exist are 100% public. Most of Snowden's revelations could be infer in the text of laws stating what the NSA can do. I think the

I keep hearing and reading horror stories like this one on HN and other website. I never did interviews at big companies, nor did I do any in the US, in 15 years of freelancing, I only had once a technical interview, with a C++ guru, I fail

I just got interested in the way the school 42 works. Especially the month-long "test" that they have to accept tuition free students. The idea is to make you complete a lot of programming projects in languages and tools you norma

What is sad is that there are a lot of real-size social experiments in various countries that have a variety of legislation and situation and a ton of literature to guide policy there. I have (like everybody) some opinions on how sex should

> It's not a religion, it's a framework that other religions have taken on. Same can be said about the Torah, the teachings of Jesus and Muhammad. Each has a plethora of religions built on top of them, that we group into big fa

Thing is, it is totally appropriate in historical discussions about existing people, even if they are playing an important role in a religion. That's actually what usually happens when you dissect religions: you spot myths, inaccuracie

I do appreciate art and ambiguity in literature or many culture endeavor. I'd have no qualm in Debord if he was saying he wrote a literary experiment. However, it claims to be philosophy, not an art performance. I am of the position th

I think I'll bookmark this whole answer as to why I think academic philosophy is now useless to people who are interested in uncovering interesting new philosophical ideas instead of pursuing a vacuous style of hermeticism. I think I d

To answer Adorno's quote: that's fine, do literature then. Do not present it as philosophy. Some people explain machine learning using haikus, that's a fine exercise, but not a good engineering practice. The Capital does not

Oh, I did not know that. Sigh why do journalists accept to go along with these lies? (No, don't answer, that's rhetorical). So apparently feature sizes are around 40 nm even in "7" or "10 nm" processes.

Oh, sure, Debord had his context and was experimenting. However if you consider that philosophy is a useful field, full of serious questions that one ought to seriously try to answer, I think you have to dismiss the Lettrist movement as unh

The collateral damage in this is the domain of actual philosophy, which is a very important intellectual domain. It is now done by scientists, politicians, economists, who have insights that can really help the field, but they are dismissed

I consider the book unreadable, as I don't think the goal of the textual medium should be to disorient the reader. I was pointed out, by people more versed in academic philosophy then I, that Debord actually designed his book like a pu
