Social policies work best when it appears the government is doing something to actually care for the population. It sounds like such a great way to help grow a healthy new generation. Investing in the youth!

No it isn't. The Turing test is a methodology to _try_ to "determine whether or not a computer is capable of thinking like a human being". It actually quite famously falls down at exactly this hurdle: mimicking the natural la

I regularly feel similar to OP. It's like I think the "concept" very quickly/immediately, and then a split second later I vocalise it. I then usually think something like "I know, I already thought that" or &qu

It has an app, right? So why not allow factory resetting from there?

All governments are oppressive to _someone_. Israel looks oppressive to the Palestinians, and yet it's democratic. I don't see how the Roman Empire under Marcus Aurelius was any more tyrannical. Autocracy != tyranny. Anyway, I mer

Interestingly, this comment can be read as either pro-socialist or pro-free-market. In either case, it's plainly true. The cost has to be covered _somehow_. We should find a way to make it happen.

I'm not advocating for formal over relaxed. I find blog posts work best in a relaxed style from the first person singular. This sort of apology should come from an individual at the top, and make reference to the whole team. You'r

I think they have this the wrong way round. Indica is known for its relaxation effects. Couch lock isn't due to anxiety but relaxed passivity, and sativa strains tend to promote overthinking and paranoia in those (inc. myself) prone to

I listened to this while preparing for and sitting in a trans-atlantic flight and I loved the whole thing. Paul Stamets verges on cuckoo and it only seems to add to his charm!

Using "we" in any public announcement, writeup, blog post, etc. is always in danger of sounding contrived.

I believe (partially anecdotally and partially from reading articles over the years) that a big part of this problem is more like "mis-education", rather than "under-education". In primary and high school education in th

This gave me pause for thought. It really toes the line of socially acceptable behaviour for a driver, as evidenced by how common it is to do so. How many times have you been a passenger in a car and the driver has pulled over to adjust GPS

You'd do well to consider that variety of interests in our culture is what enriches it.

I see what you mean, you want your drawing approach to be more free-form because it lets you "take a load off" the constant categorising and logic and so on. On the other hand though, tips like those in the link could help someone
