I am literally in the waiting room for my appointment to get a prescription. I was diagnosed just last week. I'm very excited that I may be on the verge of a new chapter.

I disagree with your assertion that most art was produced with the enjoyment of the patron as the primary motive. It could easily have been a byproduct or a necessary evil. Or, it could be that patrons were more deferential to the artists o

I'm not intimately familiar with the process, but I was unaware that there was such a thing as copyright applications, let alone working models of something that pertains to copyright.

Copyright doesn't cover ideas. It covers the execution of ideas. So if you're going to abolish stuff that merely protects ideas, leave copyright alone.

A lot of strong claims here. Can you provide solid sources? I have a hard time believing that psychiatrists and psychologists would endorse psychotropic drugs because of some big pharma conspiracy. If you're right, I'd like to know. But if

Thank you. Lehrer has a habit of doing this, and reading this article for the first time yesterday, I was frustrated but didn't bother commenting due to how old the article is. Now that it's here, though, I'm glad you pointed it out.

Because exam scores often matter for things like getting into school.

Also, self-help is no substitute for professional help in this situation. It's a good thing to do, but it's not a replacement or a shortcut. The poster immediately above is being genuinely helpful, but I added some caveats in response to hi

Positive psychology is not a method of therapy for depression, per se, though it is a good supplement to other forms of treatment and dovetails especially well with cognitive-behavioral therapy. Research shows that medication, cognitive-beh

I would admire Chris for that reason if any of his arguments had been even slightly cogent. Maybe there's a reason people have accepted it up to now.

Nobody likes going to court. It's expensive and contentious. Matt made an impressive effort to appeal to law, ethics, the golden rule, economics, majority opinion, and more, and for the vast majority of the interview, he did it politely. Ch

Ideas aren't worthless. They are a necessary but not sufficient condition for success. The "ideas are worthless" meme is hyperbole and groupthink.

He means that the signal would still be detectable 1000 light years away. You're right that we're a long time away from that being a possibility.

That would be great. Thank you.

I just installed it. As a non-coder, is there an easy way to make the numbering on ordered lists aligned in the same way that the bullets on unordered lists are? At the moment, the numbers stick out to the left of all the other content. Oth

Well, you're right to criticize the author's post, at least. Newer research shows that, for easy tasks, the better you are at it, the most likely you are to accurately assess your abilities. For hard tasks, though, it is the least talented

You said that philosophy is only limited by the need to be internally consistent. Well, for one, religious philosophy is often not internally consistent. Same for eastern philosophy. And most of the history of western philosophy, for that m

Ridiculous analogy.

Since when does philosophy only need to be self-consistent? I don't think you know what philosophy is.

I didn't notice. In case you didn't notice, I'm the one arguing on behalf of art here. We're on the same team! High-five.

I've got plenty of criticism for the academic world, but you seem to vastly undervalue the accomplishment of advancing the state of human knowledge, even by just a little bit. It's those little iterative advances that are the foundation of

This is somewhat silly without having a specific art object to debate, but I see variations of your argument all the time made as an attempt to discredit or dismiss a work of genius that they simply don't get. For instance, you talk a lot a
