Tribes by Seth Godin is good as it talks about how communities grow around ideas not individuals. Also read things written by great leaders. i.e. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius http://classics.mit.edu/Antoninus/meditati

wow. amazing. so much came back to me reading that. was a long time ago. thanks!. But ye, before this book I was well up for cryo. Since, I've decided death is probably for me.

Anyone here considered cryo? the only thing putting me off is being trapped in an infinite torture with some bitter robot overlord. The good thing about death is just that. No one can suffer infinitely. We get to die. I read a short story o

Completely agree. It's founded in needs and resources. Also it's not all about the bully. Hierachies exist. There's not much we can do about that, it's nature. No one calls a shark a bully. All we can really do is try an

I've worked in offices with full grown adults that are bullies, on a few occasions. I don't mean physical. But small minded people talking and sneering in groups, or managers taking credit or lying or blaming staff. Can take month

Who owns the land you're planting on?. How can you guarantee it won't be used in the future? Companies that cause pollution should also pay a tax to repair it. This should be enforced at a government level. Maybe by UN? seeing as

Jainisms logo makes it a barrier to entry for many in the West. I'm surprised they don't rebrand. For me consciousness means more about actually making a choice. You can be aware but unconscious. I guess this is where 'woke&#

Is using the features of a tool, 'lock in'? You could do the things the tool does yourself but you choose to leverage the tool. That's why you use it. You're aware of this. aws lambda functions can be just pure python or

This tech is taking ages to get to market. I worked at a place hired to come up with app ideas for it 5 years ago. I would have expected a pair or bangles by now that give you hands in VR and a finger gestures library.

Around 8 years ago I tried to pitch to Nokia/Microsoft to use .git somehow so users were paid to allow access to their data. They didn't listen but I still like the idea that people own their own data and can monetize it themselve

How nuerons do addressing could be interesting to know. Is it like dhcp?. also is there data in the signals, like CAN-bus? Trying to draw comparisons maybe useful in building some kind of architecture. We know language is the tool or techno

Yes. We learn through our emotions and use them for heuristics. They are measures of pleasure/stress against access to maslows needs. This drives instincts and behaviours. Also gives us values. When I 'think' or act I use sch

Fermi's just points out a contradiction between what's observable locally vs universally. So to your point can be related to simulation. But saying we're new or rare given how uniform it all is, is not boring but exceptional

Maybe something like conways game of life but using rules of thermodynamics instead to distribute cell energies may be fruitful at even a small level? Also it's worth considering if a reality that can operate outside of, or break mathe

Ye I got that. But in my experience EVERYONE should write a book. If deluding yourself that it will be a best seller helps, then do it. I imagined many scenes in my book as movie scenes. People are allowed to dream. For all those failures l

A negative article. I spent 2 years writing a sci-fi about a guy who builds a blackhole powered computer to simulate another universe. It got less than 150 downloads in 18months. I did it because I was doing nothing else with my life. Ultim

I agree to this as people are duty bound. In moral philosophy, it's argued by some that obligation is of higher moral value than pure empathy, as you don't emotionally feel anything but do what is your duty. Most people adhere to
