I remember hearing about this in a video on drone delivery in Phoenix AZ, which due to weather conditions seems like a great place to fly drones. The big takeaway was drones make great sense in places where no delivery infrastructure by gro

Even people conditioned to be humble could have a strong motivation to believe something is true and overestimate their own knowledge/ability in order to stand on what they perceive as evidence. For example a person's depression,

On my android phone's home screen, there is a "discover" page if you move the view towards the left that opens up a news feed. It is easy to accidentally swipe onto it and I find it kind of annoying. One of my friends asked m

"Kill yourself" or some proxy, that's an objectively evil gutless thing to say. I've had people say some very insulting things to me in recent memory, but the last time someone said "kill yourself" to me she wa

I feel horrible whenever I sense a need to block somebody. It's occasionally people I know who are too far gone into desperation and self-loathing/contempt to deal with anymore. The other much more rare case is people who 1) open

How about we coin a term today, "LEDlighting"? (Pronounced Led-Lighting). "When a digital platform's state is altered in an opaque way without input on the user's behalf that directly commanded it to, and as a resul

I think part of why this happens is that critics are part of the "creative" class of people. Creative people are more likely to be open to new ideas and explore, which is more likely to lead them to scenarios in their lives that l
