When almost half the country is obese/overweight, these kind of medical conditions are not the cause. For 99% of people it is not a metabolic disorder. What I am talking about is people saying things like "Wow you have fast metabo

Too much optimism isn't good either. Some things are just shit, and you should avoid them.

No I havent, maybe its worth trying. Adderall worked so well for me initially I didnt want to experiment but yeah over time the negatives have outweighed the positives. I mean seriously first day 5mg worked better than 20mg a month or two l

In my experience, no. You just get used to it and it does fuck all. Maybe worse even. Adderall seems to take my creativity away entirely and I just feel like a zombie. Theres a host of physical symptoms that come with it to that are not fun

Most of the wealth being in stock is really tricky. You can't really tax stock ownership, but at the same time stock can be leveraged against business deals (Musk for example bought Twitter with largely stock, without having to sell it

What precludes pattern matching from understanding the physical laws? You see a ball hit a wall, and it bounces back. Congratulations, you learned the abstract pattern: x->| x| x<-|

I been thinking about something similar for a long time now. I think abstraction of patterns is at the core requirement of intelligence. But whats critical, and I think is what's missing is a knowledge representation of events in space
