It's strange. Can you tell your browser/system, please? Thanks.

Do you really think that a person can misinterpret a fire alarm with the huge cloud of smoke? Of course, you can assume that others know something about it. But then the logical thing to do is to ask for this knowledge, the knowledge that c

It's not self-aggrandizing, I've just overgeneralized all people and used self-projection on them :P Indeed, common research on this topic is in psychology. But I consider this as software flaws, that can be patched by increased

I did a quick web search, but this list is indeed my subjective opinion, not a scientific research. Though I've formed it through my lifetime experience and learned it the hard way — by making mistakes.

I didn't mean politics, this is a dirty field to do science/logic. Conservatism bias is a real thing, but this doesn't mean that we should throw off our past. Just reconsider its weight in our decisions.

Agree, I've used it in a more general sense. I mean it's just like a pyramid.

There is Satoshi's wallet in the root, no need for authority as we can see.

It's useful and it has demand for its use. But most people buy it only to make a fortune. This makes it a Ponzi scheme. No contradiction here.

It shouldn't be called an investment. Investment supposed to be spent on the production of new value. Bitcoin, despite its good intentions, is a pyramid scheme — its price grows only because of newcomers. I wrote a blog post about why

Purpose definitely should be a focus in teaching, and not only in programming but in every other subject as well. Purpose tree is the most simple and natural way to structure all the information that we study. I'm sure good learners al

Why so much hate? I'm not sure if it's appropriate to wipe out the comments about Holodomor on the Holodomor rememberence day.

It's an upside down logic to think that low status men cause war. Yes, they do have more incentives to go to war, there is a correlation, but this doesn't mean it's the cause. I'd bet that in every such situation the roo

Humans tend to choose leaders because of their biological nature, not because it's more reasonable. They would like to follow a human (a creature similar to them), not a law — an abstract thing with no face. BTW, the idea of God in re

Believing in that you were born already with a purpose means that you're just a servant of another entity. Sometimes we call servants as bots, or, "automatons". I'm sorry to break your feelings, but your belief can'

Yeah, but how do you realize that the brain is not for thinking without thinking?

This is what I'm talking about. There used to be labor unions, also the right to strike and protest is a prominent part of democracy. But nowadays all those freedoms are oppressed. Those who are in power are trying to divide labor peop

Institutions may change their form, but not their purpose. For example, in USSR the judicial system was basically a tool to justify decisions of prosecutors and party leaders. Nowadays the judicial system of the Post-Soviet countries remain

Hierarchies are natural to everything, it's pointless to fight just them. I'm specifically against subordinate relations like master-slave. In a typical firm there is a boss that commands managers, workers etc. The boss has the mo

Humans are mortal. It doesn't matter if you are a dictator or a janitor - you will die anyway. But the institutions, the system, the culture - will stay for much much longer. Those who build a centralized system that can control every

If you don't remember something then your brain can't do pattern matching based on that information. And pattern matching is the basis of any thinking process. So, yes, Google won't help you with that. But, you can retrieve a
