You just described Life360, which is running on my phone right now. Also, corporations monitoring customers is not as scary as you make it out to be with your connection to the military. Yes it sucks. But you can choose which company to be

Awesome story, thanks for sharing and I'm glad the quote took you there :) I think reading Nietzsche from a christian perspective is a very interesting pursuit. The whole "God is dead" thing has been really misrepresented and

I got a free Google home mini last year for buying some other thing...I was blown away by how truly bad it is compared to what the marketing leads people to believe. It's honestly useless for most of the tasks they advertise it being a

If we have to subjugate all of our thoughts to your monolithic reality where everything is "really" the same thing, then how is it possible to think at all? It seems to me that by your logic, we are all walking around bullshitting

Wow, this is a peak "I bet this guy is fun at parties" moment. It's all incredibly ridiculous. If this man were really on a "dopamine fast", the conversation still would have ended, but not in the same way. It would

>That's a completely unsurprising result. Anyone could have guessed this, because it's common sense. But the purpose of science is to produce knowledge based on empirical evidence. Common sense has its place, but science wants

Isn't all this coming really close to arguing that free will doesn't exist? We are headed for a situation where our moment-to-moment conscious decisions are completely at the whim of whatever "systems" lurk in the backgr

I'm surprised that you don't see the network effect of Uber/Lyft as being very sticky? It's not as simple as everyone just migrating to another app. It would be really hard to start a new ridesharing company from scratch

I was just looking at this yesterday: there was a study where 75% of plant-based protein powders tested positive for lead, whereas animal-based protein powders performed much better. I think a lot of vegans drink soy and pea protein powders

Thanks for the insight, again I fully admit that I don't know the details of the housing/jobs market over there so it was really interesting to hear your perspective. I think the movie industry example is an interesting connection
