This perspective is the definition of relativism. You think an authoritarian regime who views human rights as “Western rights” is equal to the US? If you’re arguing liberalism has failed, that’s one thing. But let’s not argue that all thin

His management system seems similar to nonviolent communication. He uses radical honesty among employees where everyone’s rating each other. That’s extreme but it probably has benefit.

It is that complicated if you’re trying to factor accurate ranges, card removal and bet sizing. He’s obviously not doing this because he’s playing an exploitative style. In otherwords, he’s guessing perfectly based on his perceptions. For

According to one conservative estimate, he’s 6.1 standard deviations above his expected winrate (of the best players in the game). This is about a 1 in 200 billion chance. What he’s doing is basically mathematically impossible. Combined wit

I don’t think seeking attention is bad as it’s the process of individualization. The opposite is far worse. Being expressive is the only way to connect with others, and often shameless, provocative or wild expression can be charming and rel

If I asked 10 people around me, who is Edward Snowden, maybe one would know. When the story broke, I never heard anyone in real life bring it up. I know young wealthy people who don’t know who Elon Musk is. People’s attention is highly frag

I 100% agree with you as long as we ban all advertising in TV news and online news. A million forces tell you what to do, very very few of them are telling you to do good things.

You can buy a Ritz condo in LA for $1.2 million and pay about $2000/month for HOA. Or lease it for $5500-6500/month. If you bought a bunch of condos, could likely reduce the HOA fees. Comes with an amazing free breakfast and a tar

Amtrak’s a perfect representation of everything wrong with the US. A slow, unreliable train. Seems always delayed hours without being informed of why or how long. Receives almost $2 billion in federal subsidies. Bathrooms are dirty. And the

People underestimate the prevalence of random suicidal thoughts. A lot is probably intrusive thoughts or just life frustrations pushed into a form. People should be taught to be skeptical of bad thoughts and understand how chaotic the brai

Society itself seems like a driver of psychosis. In school, they rarely teach critical thinking nor warnings of cognitive biases. People then grow up in a rather unfair world and system. Next they get easily persuaded by a clever YouTube vi

It’s even worse for people using prepaid banking cards like GoBank. I got issued one of these debit cards from an employer. Months later, someone skimmed my debit card presumably at a gas station. While at home, someone withdrew $265 out o

Do you have an example of that? Perhaps I’m biased being in LA and SF but those city budgets seem irreplaceable broken. Infinite amounts to pensions while no one can propose viable fixes to problems.
