Recently heard a good ted talk and good podcast with Andrew Taggart who is using the term "Total Work" to describe this phenomena. He leans a lot on this old german book called "Leisure: The Basis of Culture", and asks t

I can't figure out how to read this comment. Do you think she actually needs to check her privilege? Or are you disgusted by privilege being brought up in a context where it shouldn't be?

The whole foods hot bar is where it's at. Nice atmosphere and decent food. Although of course it can be kind of pricey depending on how much you eat.

I'm very curious about people in your camp -- those that don't like attempts to replicate meat, but do like the "patty" food format. How do you usually eat your meat replacements? On a sandwich? Chopped up? A mix? Since

The thing that sets video games (and social media) apart from these other things that you mention is that they are far more updatable, and not surprisingly this attribute is taken advantage of for good and for ill. The ill of course being t

Just speculating, but could it be that your mind is grasping for an explanation, came up with the ego depletion idea, subjected it to a reasonable amount of questioning to ensure that it wasn't completely flimsy, and then you went with

It would also give other companies in the US a better shot at the same goal. The focus on China seems unwarranted.

After clicking around your comment history and blog for a bit... I see you grew up and live in Indy -- I did as well until I moved to Chicago earlier this year, and we're around the same age (I'm 30). Some of what you've writ

The idea that fascism is growing out of control is a popular one these days, but I have yet to see anyone present hard evidence that this is really what's happening. Does anyone here think this? What's your reasoning? The people w

I'm currently in their CS program that just opened up in June. I've been a software engineer for about a decade and so have picked up a pretty decent CS background just through osmosis. Here's the response I gave to a young p

Would you mind sharing what you read about alpha females in primate groups? Sounds fascinating.

I don't mean to discuss this in the abstract. The left and the right both have proven themselves to go too far and the end result is the same: genocide. The issue is that we have an indicator for the right (ethnic nationalism) and that

So Peterson characterizes the right as concerned with making sure that society functions efficiently and competently. And he characterizes the left as concerned with the inevitable fact that when a society is made to function efficiently an

Perhaps you'd be willing to offer your own answer to the question he poses though, which I believe is a good one. When does the left go too far? With the right, we have at least one clear cut answer: ethnic nationalism. With the left:

by dnissley 8y ago
So we can easily identify ethnic nationalism as one of the ways in which right wing politics can go very, very wrong. The problem with calling it out on it's own, without calling out something equally vile on the left, is that whoever

They're using "success" as a shorthand for positive life outcomes -- high level of education, high income, health, longevity, etc.

While true I don't think this is widely known, and even less widely practiced. For those who are unaware, you just need go in through the exit to avoid the card checkers and that's where the food is.

For me it's closer to "it worked in the past but even if it doesn't I'm going to be in the same boat as basically everyone else". Which is very different than the kind of promises pensions make.

Do you know if they've fixed the PWM issue that plagued the last few generations of thinkpad? It was an issue that affected the displays in many thinkpads when they were set on low brightness and ended up giving some people headaches.
