Good news are hard to come by. When seminal papers will get there first, things will be well on their way!

Give any religion enough uneducated, miserable, humiliated young people and you will get the same result. The world, unfortunately, is not in short supply of such. Even buddhists can become rabid.

Just as in psychology, you can assign as many pathologies as you like, the bottom line will always be that "health" is but the ability to switch among various aspects depending on the circumstances. Every single aspect can be adap

Yup. And the trade off between reproduction and aging is extremely well documented in biology. In short, reproduction prioritizes the set over the element. Kinda Borg-ish but that's what we have so far.

A lat/long position is about 50 bits. Talk about serious bandwidth...

If that wall is able to hold a high Danube (I assumed it's the Danube) this is one heck of a technology.

Exactly. The same old debate between statistical truth and deterministic uncertainty. What bothers me is that, meanwhile, the many people who have tried to get funding for years or even generations to study deep, complex mechanisms involved

Those attacks have the elegance of a sledgehammer and the content of a plastic bottle washed off on a beach. I am utterly uninterested.

Mutations do happen during replication. But is it random? How about underlying mechanisms involving telomeres or histones? Or something else.

I meant wide genetic i.e. about the origin/cause and not narrow genetic, i.e. about the genes. And yes about Dx, not even talking about epigenetic...

Interestingly, this question is still on the table 50 years after psychiatry/psychology realized that diagnostic criteria were a central issue (hence the Diagnostic Statistical Manual). Since all that is left once there is no genetic (

The problem is not technology but the exponentially growing gap between what we do and use and our understanding of how it works.

That's a good point. It seems to be very difficult for mathematicians to formulate their thoughts in a non-formal manner. When they try to, it's almost like they speak in a learned second language. That said, mathematics is not re

An even better idea: Let's live according to probabilities. That will be fun too. And there are tons of positive results that are pathetic. Study shows that impact of hammer on foot causes sensation of pain compared to control group (p

<rant> And I think that psychology began to die when it became obsessed with statistics. Researching the mind has become an endless, bottom-up process with very few ideas and zero grand idea. I'm not even talking about practice..

Most IQ tests have various scales and subscales, verbal, non-verbal, speed, memory etc... Aside from the few subtests that measure fund of knowledge, speed of reasoning, pattern extraction/recognition and ability to abstract problems d

Somehow, Seth Rogen fits so well in all this! They must be working on a movie (with him) as we speak.

There's also a high-level processing aspect. The brain excels at extracting relevant information, which includes discordant information. Back in the days, a solo violin was tuned slightly off to allow the audience to hear it over the o

Any medium will create pseudo-communication. How many times did I get POed by endless email exchanges (particularly the "Thank you" kind). So the problem is pseudo-communication not the medium. I suspect that CC thing has more to

Just curious: has there been anything on patterns in primes? There are so many constraints that I even wonder how there could not be patterns in the distribution.

Talking about non-conform ideas, I would like to add that what should be of interest is not what changed but what doesn't. And I would like to offer that this idea of a world of accelerated change might in fact be a self-serving, Ptole

Particularly since the confounding issue is really enormous in science. And sits at the core of the example the article gives in introduction... That would be an achievement in itself to build an experiment without confounder(s).

All narratives about enlightenment contain a form of letting go. Zazen, Koan. Siddartha and his quest etc. I read a book years ago from a French guy who suggested that this could be reached by writing meaningless sentences, which he made a

This whole deal really looks like a chess move (and a pretty good one too) more than a pissed-off reaction. This feels Russian to me.
