If it is true that the mind is "anti-fragile", in that, appropriately dosed stressors make it stronger, then perhaps its not "or", but "and". Psychedelics treat mental illness and cause mental illness. They t

I don’t fully understand the issue with blinding. How is it different than trying to double blind talk therapy. Obviously someone knows that they are getting talk therapy, likewise, people obviously know they are getting psychedelics. Yet w

FWIW, my school provided basic sexual anatomy and puberty eduction (basic biology stuff) in 5th grade. We then had a “health class” in middle school (grades 6-8), which explored sexual orientation and safe sex practice. This all felt very a

I think this goes far far deeper than just ego. I believe it’s possibly a fundamental mechanism of intelligence. We have a drive to “be right”. We feel “good” when our model of reality is stable - where we feel confident that we can reliab

You don’t have to lie to your children to teach them how to think critically about the world. Nor do the actions of other adults necessarily make lying okay. You may even be doing your children a disservice by teaching them that lying is o

Tbh I have never interpreted “slowing down” as necessarily less work. In fact, yeah, just the opposite. Mowing my lawn with an expensive gas powered sit down lawn mower is fast… doing it with a manual push or scythe is slow, and more work.

Kind of. I’m genuinely interested in slowing down and easing into homestead kind of lifestyle but mostly because building sustainable systems is just an interesting engineering problem to me. The debt free/prepper aspects just add to t

Absolutely. Lately I’ve been thinking about what it would be to work every other week. Half of the year, getting full weeks of just living life. Amazing. The plus side for the employer is that you get a full week of my attention on a very r

Yeah I even shared that video with them to help explain my thoughts. They claim that they plan on investing up to $50k in the first year, which was additional justification for a lower equity split. But again, this feels strange to me - the

What’s your title? If you’re junior then there should be a reasonable expectation that you will be learning a lot on the job. Without more context it’s impossible to say you if you are actually incompetent. I’d say treat this as a fire und
