english is similarly a terrible language in many ways. Its only benefit is it is fairly easy to learn and start speaking with in a “broken” way but still gets its point across. Which has led to a meta advantage which is it being used everyw

I think it helps to think of wine more as consumable art. Art, like the mona lisa has its value tied not in the intrinsic properties but its position within its cultural and historical context. The trick being that this environment is a sub

Similarly, people don't move to countries in southeast asia and live like kings. When asking "Why people don't just move", should ask the self "Would I move to southeast asia?"

To simplify even further, would it be right to say that dopamine is not just a carrot being used to adjust weights but that the entire dopamine system actively learns how/when/why to use the carrot to effectively train? if so, som

Judges specifically filter out for people who know about jury nullification. I suspect the entire systems subconsciously also filters FOR and AGAINST certain types of people in service of whatever the narrative of the time was. The people w

One interesting thing ive noticed about chinese culture are the heuristics around cleanliness. Vegetables are always washed vigorously and cooked. Salads and sandwiches and other raw-like things are rather disliked. Hands are washed after p

I think it's about context. If I say "order pizza" a ton of information is transferred via shared environmental context. I'm not transferring information directly but manipulating contextual levers to map certain types o

One thing that has always bothered me about many AI approaches is that instead of having multiple layers that deal with different levels of urgency everything is delegated to a "rational" mind that thinks vs a combination of think

Burning of "real" value for something of symbolic value that often locks in value is fairly common. Designer watches and bags and 500$ shirts basically create a flame that says "look at meeeeee" Price to extract gold and

You might find the film Samsara quite interesting. It's a timeline documentary showing how people live all over the world. Timelapses show the interconnectedness of things that happen too slowly for us to appreciate. Like star trails.

All discrimination already is doing this, just indirectly. There's always an implication. The major one in the US is that harder working people are ethically better than lazy people. This combined with the belief that hard work equals

I think the issue is more about teaching styles rather than learning styles. Teachers often only know one way to teach things and can't adapt at all to level differences. They often enjoy working MOST with the kids who ALREADY know eve

Businesses don't have this type of intentionality in my opinion. They're like forces of nature (with smaller lifespans) primarily acting in the economic realm. Even non-profits must manage input and output economically correctly i

Reason may be similar to why artists and musicians typically don't make money. Money/power isn't that interesting. So the people who end up becoming the gatekeepers are those who can't see real talent and those with real

The end reason is always market dynamics. Certain people can have certain rationalizations but the market doesn't lie. Note that it's not a perfect market because of things like immigration control and artificial friction via the

Should add that for many tech people the immoetal process often chosen is founding a company. Without a source of meaning like children they often don't have the motivation to grind out the rest of their days as a cog

The core source of things "bad" on the world is the dehumanization of humans by other humans. Some original reasons being race and gender. Religion also became a big one. In American culture it's revolves around hard work. Th

A lot of skepticism is warranted. But there is also a lot of bias and unwarranted skepticism. Or more specifically, lack of faith. Blockchain's is like a precocious child and everyone is saying this genius will revolutionize the world.
