Another thing which is often forgotten, we have evolutionarily adapted biases built into our learning machinery. That helps us to learn some things that tended to be essential for survival (much) more quickly, but it can also hinder us in l

Right. I think I remember it used to be normal in some societies to pay the doctor only if he managed to cure you. That sounds much more plausible. Paying for the state transition from sick to okay should work just fine.

That reminds me of when I was very young, when I felt treated unfairly I often thought a lot about what I might have done wrong to deserve that kind of treatment. Naturally, in time I also learnt that sometimes people just have a bad day or

Yes, in this context "be liberal in what you accept" really nicely mirrors the good old "assume good faith".

Yup, language is a sort of compressed code that exploits model biases. If the receiver's model is biased in a different way than the sender's model decoding fidelity plummets. Put differently, expectation is half of sensing. That

Mostly fiction and of that mostly speculative fiction. The non-fiction part is mostly economy, history and social philosophy.

Well, if you can stack 40-footers on top of 20-footers I suppose that would be an option? That would of course make loading more complicated, but it's hardly an insurmountable obstacle, no?

Totally with you! If we want to talk in German philosophers I suggest Nietzsche, like this: >>A state, is called the coldest of all cold monsters. Coldly lieth it also; and this lie creepeth from its mouth: "I, the state, am the

Some social sciences are not even trying to be scientific anymore. They have denounced even the mere concepts of truth and of the scientific method as a tool to approximate it. These people need to be removed from academic life and from a

It's a scam, and the best predictor of success as an economist is being politically useful as a scientific fig leaf for one interest group or another, sadly.

I guess one might try to check the path through the process tree to see if a blacklisted application is the parent (or gp, ggp, etc.) of the process trying to communicate with the outside world.

I do the same, even in languages without a preprocessor. You can just use a life if-else, most compilers will optimize the test-on-a-constant away. Even when the code is kept in, I doubt it will have a major performance impact during testin
