the Egyptian pharaoh was a living diety. Kinda funny to think of them as old-school influencers.

I've been using fish for a while myself, and I absolutely love it. The autocomplete is magic.

very true. That said, a good friend (or more) who has experience with psychedelics can also really help.

your comment made me laugh, but - you could say the same thing about alcohol, and I think you'd agree that alcohol is not an entirely benign substance.

speaking as someone who has done a fair amount of recreational drug use, including shrooms - you can totally use shrooms too much, because you're bored on summer break so you eat a bunch to spice up your day. It's honestly not the

okay, this is probably going to very weird, but I've actually had two "no-self"/"ego-death" experiences whilst on drugs (I also meditate daily, but have not have an ego-dissolution from meditation, although I&#

from my admittedly limited knowledge of the Nordics, they are much more collectivist than Americans. For example, Swedes have it drilled into their heads from an early age that "everyone deserves a home". This is not the case in A

I think that having two adult role models to give a child love, and to serve as an example of 'how to have good interactions with others' is also quite important. I was a child of divorce, and honestly it was a bit traumatizing. M

I'm really skeptical that it's easy to automate those assembly line jobs away, or to automate mining. For one thing, robots are expensive to build. For another, while it's possible to make robots do tasks like that, there&#

maybe I've read too many Taleb books, but can you put yourself in a position to bet against the stupidity? For example, take a short position on WarnerMedia/Amazon stock?

I'm personally a big fan of his books, but I've read on various internet sources that some people will accuse him of not being academically rigorous enough. I honestly don't have enough expertise or energy to really judge.

uh iPhones aren't just made by well dressed Stanford educated designers and engineers in California, you know. The number of people needed to mine the metal/silicon for them, to make the circuits (and to build the factories which

I disagree that both are necessarily at odds. Practicing BDSM in a long term relationship is actually a good way to make it healthier, and many of the things that are good for one (communication, boundaries, self-knowledge) are good for the

TFA doesn't exactly strike me as doing a good job of promoting the chatbot... it reminds me more of that Microsoft "Tay" AI.

some of the older stuff at OVH is also in Perl. All the newer stuff is in Go or Python (thank God), but there's an acrophyal story about someone asking Octave Klaba, the founder of OVH about any regrets he had, and he allegedly respond

maybe not alcohol, but many of my closet friendships, which are probably the greatest sources of joy in my life (maybe romantic relationships come close), were formed around shared intoxication - weed, LSD, 2C-B, MDMA, Ketamine... now obvio

it's not a zero sum game or a competition though. You can make beautiful music, and someone else can create a beautiful choreography for it... their achievement will probably increase your joy, not decrease it.

Voluntary two party agreements work because they are enforced by a government. Markets only exist in the presence of government. Read David Graeber's Debt if you want a history of how markets and money work - generally speaking, they a
