Your comment was very helpful. Some questions if your comfortable answering: How did you change your mindset? Books, articles, techniques? I currently employ THC to help with my baseline anxiety but that has been going downhill for me recen

I like the way you think. You should write a blog!

That seems to make sense and seems to be happening to a lot of us. I think the dopamine-being-reward hypothesis has been proven to be an oversimplification[1]: "Dopamine was originally thought of as critical in the pleasure" syste

Can you elaborate on the theory? I tried reading the article but can't make too much sense of it.

You hit the nail there. So many hobbies that used to be in-person have transferred to the internet. Personally, I thought that would be enough for getting my social fix, but boy was I wrong. As I get older, I'm finding out that there i

I agree. The book Lost Connections goes in depth into how all antidepressants are either same as placebo or better by a statistically negligible amount. (Oversimplified but the book does a good job). https://www.amazon.com/L

This radiolab podcast goes into detail of men deciding to do nothing on both sides in WWI, but it got complicated really fast: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/segments/10401...

This is an experiment rather than a finished product: The X-59 will never carry passengers, but it will likely kick off a new generation of quiet supersonic commercial planes that can fly over land and dramatically reduce the time it takes

I think it's more of the other way around. To have happy moments you have to have suffering moments to compare to how bad it could be. Basically: who gets happier when they get a gift? Someone who doesn't get gifts a lot, or someo

As a commenter stated below: Be careful comparing a system which can simply take the land and labor it wants to one in which people have rights. China also has the lowest organ recipient lists, maybe we should try to emulate that too: http

I keep reading about ayahuasca. Care to elaborate on how/where, etc. I've been using thc as self-medication for a decade and decided to quit cold turkey, and my anxiety and self-doubt is through the roof. I know the baggage is com

I've read similar stuff. It sucks since it seems there's no way out. Introduction to Internal Family Systems was very illuminating regarding this topic: https://www.amazon.com/Internal-Family-Systems-Therapy-Guilf.

I'm in the "anxiety ridden life" mode and can't seem to find a way out. Trying to find a therapist but health insurance doesn't cover mental health. Trying to decide if it's worth paying someone to listen to my

I copied this amazing comment from a HN user a few days ago. I'll shamelessly paste it here since it's relevant to your comment: Lots of people disappointed in the new iPhone. The reason I see is simple; Apple has long been outsou

Your comment made me research what happened to Google glasses and I found this: https://www.google.com/glass/tech-specs/ Why are these not available to the public?!? Because of the Google glass PR disaster? I thin

I don't think you can just add the hours like that. It's in a low power mode but the screen's still on. Probably uses very minimal battery to have the always-on display.

Yeah. Also how airpods work (including gestures) with Android so it's doable if they put in the effort.

Finally, a sensical comment. You're exactly right. Given the constraints of politics/funding, NASA can't pull off long-term & ambitious goals like they used to in the 60s-70s, and the administrator of NASA, Jim Bridenstin

This is a terrible idea. NASA is still the best agency in the world for moving humanity forward, even with bureaucratic inefficiencies. No other agency will have the funds to do what NASA does for non-military reasons. For every tax dollar

You can install home assistant and control 433mhz sockets with "hey siri" since it has homekit. It's super fast (<500ms).
