I'm also a bit skeptical, which is why there is a need for experimentation on the topic. Aside from that: 1. You'd have the freedom to quit your job without fearing homelessness or hunger. Suddenly, you're a lot less stressed

I am thrilled to see that there is some private interest in exploring the possibility of BI/UBI experimentally within the conditions of the USA. A properly executed study of this type could be definitive in the shaping of our society.

What about the people who aren't so creative? Sure, the best of us will be fine, but that's always been the case. What about the ones who are struggling to remain relevant today? They'll get left behind unless something'

I frequently disagree with Nisbett's thought process and conclusions in his other writings, but this analysis of the problem with MRAs is spot on. MRAs are in my view the last nest of resistant pseudoscience that is still anchored with

I had a friend who did Uberman once. It was hard to be around him at times because he would sometimes very rapidly deteriorate into sleep as he approached one of his sanctioned sleeping periods. Aside from those sanctioned sleeping periods,

A dark thought: today we call a jack of all trades unemployed. Illusions of polycompetency are really just multiple specializations when in a business context.

Am I the only one who is extremely uncomfortable with wasting so much human potential to generate frills for people who already have enough frills? It isn't just getting people fresh out of college to be my butler, I'm uncomfortab

This looks interesting, but it'll take some time to read through.

Yeah, but the proles don't believe it yet because they've been propagandized since birth that the US can do no wrong. The propaganda is starting to seem a bit hollow for a few too many people, though.

Yeah, at the time people like Sy Hersh called out ZDT as being a completely fabricated propaganda piece. Of course, if you watch the movie, it's obviously fictitious, but the veneer of realism is enough to implant ZDT as the cultural &

Cue people who will say that you're "being an asshole" or that you should expect bad treatment because of the formal way that you have chosen to address the cop. Cops will hate hearing what you've written here, and it&#x

This is a pretty cool new finding, and I'm pretty sure that it represents a new mechanism for neuromodulation, which is a Big Deal. I bet that this research still needs to be reproduced by third parties.

I quoted PG paragraph by paragraph in my response... seems hard to misinterpret things that way. I think PG probably had more thoughts on the issue of income inequality which perhaps he thought were clear in his essay, but in fact were not

by cryoshon 11y ago
If you propose a radical idea like "income inequality isn't bad", you need to expect a debate because the idea is far from proven. It sounds lame, but PG's essay is a stanza in a larger societal conversation, and convers
