Two things I've recently read: Not free (10$): Chris Langan's (aka the smartest man on planet earth) The Art Of Knowing | Expositions On Freewill and Selected Essays is a good read. I won't link to his site since there's been a breach of se

Exactly. One billion years really is not that long, and we're still living in a young universe. I accept that as time goes on, the possible amount of intelligent life that exists/existed increases. Though speculation is fun, it is not mea

It is also sad when the poor farmer meets a man in a business suit. "You seem to be growing our patented plants." ---- Also. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I just noticed. When a submission is dead, you can't get to its article. Since it was a different article, I thought it would be good here. Sorry for posting the dead submission, I guess that's why I was down-voted. I didn't realize that ab

I recommend the movie Johnny Got His Gun: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067277/ . Being stuck, aware like that, seems too damn horrible. ---- Movie's plot: "Joe, a young American soldier, is hit by a mortar shell on the last day of World Wa

This is closer to living without money: http://www.amazon.com/Science-Dumpster-Diving-John-Hoffman/d... I actually own this book. I bought it in highschool because I felt I was putting my money into things that I didn't need to, and so I

Sorry. Saying that I didn't read the article was unnecessary. I had it open, and was planning on reading it. So I just finish it. Pretty good. My first thought was that he was going to say we're too obsessed with clean clothes.

I have had issues with sleep for a very long time. Problem is: I love to sleep. I can sleep 10-12 hours a day, no problem. I'd be quite happy sleeping like this, but it effects my personal life. This sounds like it was made for me! *e: Just

I didn't read the article, but some of you might like this: http://beprepared.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_MC%20W050_A_name_E_... . It is what I use to wash my clothes instead of commuting.

This is like having apathy toward a group of people who suffer from an illness. "You're fat? You're lazy!" Problem solved. That's like telling someone who suffers from bad acne: "Why don't you just wash your face you unclean slob."

In the poorer places of the country, it is far easier to get fast food than food from a grocery store. A lot of these families don't have a car, and lugging a week's worth of groceries on the bus absolutely sucks -- I've done it before. Eve

More specifically, turning this into a habit will bring out the cached ideas/thoughts that you use. Cached ideas/thoughts are conclusions that you or someone else has made, that you accept as a useful variable that you can plug into situati

I read your original redacted -- great word choice, by the way -- post as a flame against araneae. Which I guess shows my bias against Lil Wayne. One distinction between me and "the other people" (I don't know what the hell to call them) is

This is the sort of comment I would have liked to have seen in the submission about the article. Unfortunately, those submissions are dead. The recent article on Ribbon Farm might explain unalone's character: http://www.ribbonfarm.com/20

Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned what I thought of the article, instead just said that it didn't deserve to get killed. I am a very discerning reader and the article resonated well with me. I'm glad I read it and I'm sure there are more peo

No matter what, you'll always miss good stuff. For example, most of HN missed the great article by unalone: http://journal.rinich.com/post/249408496/god . Both of the submissions on the article were flagged, killed. I've been reading here

Removing danger from the home is the very best thing that a parent can do. All children are impressionable, and being exposed to evil early will effect the rest of their life. So, as long as you have that handled (as good as it can be han

Along the same lines, I like: Whether good or evil, the morality of a sociopath is something he or she takes responsibility for. Then later: More people taking individual moral responsibility is a good thing.

I tried to create something like this a long time ago, but I really wanted it to work by using pictures from only three equidistant angles. Probably why I never finished it....

This is why we need to overthrow some government and establish a hacker nation. I think something similar happened in the movie Igor.... In all seriousness, this is pretty scary. There is a fierce dichotomy here. There aren't very many peop

That's a good point, but that doesn't make this assignment any less poorly crafted. It is common for parents to help their children with homework, and I would expect that to be taken into consideration when creating a worksheet that is less

As far as teaching children the facts of numbers, I've always liked Eliezer Yudkowsky's The Simple Truth: http://yudkowsky.net/rational/the-simple-truth Especially how it initially presents the concept as magic. Actually, maybe not a go
