If you could’ve taken a 4.5 billion years long-exposure photo on our planet, I believe it would’ve been mostly a water world for most of its existence. So you’ll see a smooth water on the photo. But about the sky I’m not sure: will it be co

PTSD can be caused by any trauma, like a car crash or abuse. PTSD is actually a fear of a traumatic memory. A person experiences flashbacks (pieces of the traumatic memory) and fears that the traumatic event will reoccur. The most effective

It’s evolutionary to see danger in strangers because historically it was better to overestimate danger then underestimate it for your survival. You can only react once if someone hits you with a stone from their back. So people and groups o

I see it as a project to produce more and more unhackable routers, phones, code, bunkers, homes, small communities, etc. Something that at least will allow AGI-wary people to have technology not controlled by AGIs for a little bit longer an

It looks like Tegmark wants the same unbreakable rules for everyone, not just for AGIs: protect routers from being hacked, make it impossible for planes to fly into buildings, etc.

Good, I especially like your first cited meta analysis: “CBT appears to be as effective as pharmacotherapies at the short term, but more effective at the longer term” (I have nothing against the meds). I view it this way: modern CBT is actu

I don’t think you need to worry. Beck was literally writing down all his thoughts down for many months and analyzing them and that way he came up with the idea of CBT in the first place. It’s results oriented but when you reach your goals y

Sorry for being harsh but this is pseudoscience. The most researched approach - CBT - says this: we can change our thoughts and it will change our emotions. Something happens, first we experience neutral arousal, our fast automatic thoughts
