Thanks for your well-intended advice, but you should not label a stranger on the internet as requiring a few years of therapy for the conclusion that talking to randos on the street in a search for the needle in the haystack is likely a was

Nice story, still won’t do it. Too many assholes out there (I’ve experienced enough bullying for a lifetime), and life is too short for shallow conversations or even friendships with shallow people, which 9 out of 10 random encounters will

Japan had magic mushroom vending machines until they were banned in 2002. The Japanese were concerned about what image they display to the world ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2002, which led to this ban. Many different explanations are possib

They should try qigong. It’s movement meditation and has existed for thousands of years. Probably there was a reason why the Chinese didn’t find weight training and endurance exercises as useful, although it was as accessible to them as it

If it was not obvious: I am deeply sorry that you have to deal with a severe condition. I am just a random internet stranger, but hope for you that treatments that will alleviate it can be found soon. Staying on top of the literature will h

It was immoral of this acquaintance to tell you such a graphic story if he knew about your condition. If he was truly compassionate he would have kept it to himself or formulated it more tactfully instead of putting this into your mind. May

It was probably not worth investing into education of women either if they had high chances of dying during the inevitable childbirth happening some day in their lives. Émilie du Châtelet died during childbirth. Shuddering at the thought of

Let me try to extend on my comment a bit. I think going through the nerd experience when growing up does equip you with a certain moral compass that is quite useful in interactions such as the ones described in the article, but also for our

I see.. I do remember literally thinking „that guy can‘t have grown up as a nerd“ when a documentary described one guy who introduced many of the exploitative and clearly dystopian „hooking“ patterns in social media. I’m still working in ac

Typical „the messenger is the problem“ response. When did big tech undergo a societal change? I can’t imagine that the D&D nerds I hung out with in school would respond in similarly inhumane and obviously immoral ways. Google is no plac

The problem is that there is no working system in place that makes such abuses of scientific truth visible. We would need to get away from inefficient communication via publications and set a system in place that tracks findings in detail,

I'm curious why this pretty comprehensive data collection has not been updated further since May 2020. Does anybody know?

Can someone try to explain the purpose of console hacks and gaming company internal old documentation leaks? Reading these chat conversations and tweets they seemed to be important for building up some individuals‘ ego. Anything else?

This reminded me of the following exercise, which I hopefully recite correctly. I’ve first heard it in a podcast with the monk Anselm Grün, who counsels burned out managers in Germany: Think about what you could do for hours as a child. Wha

Why is this being downvoted? These are facts. Seemingly nobody knows the psychological / spiritual ideas behind alchemy and only has comical images of long-bearded men trying to turn metal into gold in their minds? There is a whole rab

These are good points. The Japanese (and probably many Chinese) cuisines certainly fall into the micronutrient-rich category (with seaweed, fish, etc.), have seemingly been tested for centuries and are awesome. Difficult to have these diets

I‘d like to see this statement discussed more. It‘s easy to brush it off as some very US-American PoV, point at food culture, feeling full and vitamins / minerals, and imagine some person who doesn’t watch their health at all. But give

It was edited, but the comment is still ad hominem and avoids talking about the specific criticism.

> She didn’t cut it and now is in a non-tenured position at a second rate institution. What an awful reply to legitimate criticism. I infer that some of your friends at CERN talk about her (quite successful) book this way?
