I find this to be pretty odd reasoning, it definitely seems far from "definitive" for me unless you make a lot of assumptions about how the mind works.

This is all very noble on paper. Yes, people can be persuasive to twist the truth. And testing is good for arriving at proof. But what the ancient philosophers didn't count on, is that there is a machine in charge of what gets tested a

What's a better music notation software? Hopefully the answer isn't Sibelius.

Yeah, we also produce literal shit, and we have a toilet and plumbing to deal with that. If you welcomed a giant robot in your house that produces 100x as much shit as a human, you don't have the infrastructure to deal with it. It was

I'm a composer and if I happen to want to make sheet music, which rarely happens, I just open Musescore. Most of the time I'm in bitwig, recording things in real time and editing things around, I barely use the midi roll. I don&#x

A lot of issues like you mention can be a big problem on the population level, but not in an individual level if you're conscious of what you eat. This doesn't seem to be the case with microplastics, they seem to be in everything.

It's comments like these that make me more afraid of AI, because I notice how many people behave or reason like bots, following a script.

This is the correct way of looking at it. It's about how the thought contributes or hinders your own success/happiness. If you were to find, empirically, that believing that you're not deserving of happiness is more likely to

The opposite view also implies some sort of cosmic order, it implies that "deserving" is some type of natural, objective currency and that X work must be performed to achieve it. But that's not how it is, "deserving happ

Because there's no real objective truth about it, it's just what you tell yourself. If you think people only deserve success because they worked X amount, that's a thought formed by social norms and, most likely, what you wer

Willpower is effective as one component among many. Which means you're not relying on willpower alone. Much like you don't build a table with a single leg.

I had that realization with another habit, in first person. My hands can do so many things yet I choose to do this repeatedly. That said, these habits don't usually develop as a choice, they're a sort of shield protecting us from

You're a highschooler? This explains a lot.

I want to congratulate you for taking that decision.

It does, but the will power is aimed at doing a bunch of preparatory small things. It is an important distinction. Let me paint an example: You need to move a huge boulder, but someone tells you that boulder is too big, you're not stro

The way I view it is fairly simple: the things you list involve planning. Willpower is how you react in the moment. You could phrase it like this: the willpower to resist going out and getting cigarettes is much easier to perform than the

I switched from i3 to bspwm a few years ago and I have basically a "complete" setup. I do occasionally make scripts like you mention, they're super fun, handy, and almost impossible to share unless someone else has the same n

Non-fiction can't sincerely deal with the one of the realest substances of individual reality: thoughts and their movement. The most substantial fiction in my experience is the one that knows how to deal with internal life.

Cars kill and maul people, destroy infrastructure, pollute the environment, definitely mess up public spaces.

You know, it is not surprising that someone who hasn't experimented with mind expanding drugs has a very narrow view and limited empathy for how other minds might experience the world different from themselves.

Not an app, but this is how I customize my OS and workflow in general, and think Linux for making it possible and even easy at times.

That's more of a cultural phenomena than 'reality'. I don't meant to say it's not happening, but if one frames it as 'reality' you make it sound inevitable, whereas it's a consequence of a cultural fr
