Thanks! I will check it out. I tried Rimworld but after playing it for 20+ hours I began to see the patterns and non-randomness of the game (I have been heavily biased by DF). Plus everything the other in response. Im gonna check out your b

What's the game? I'm looking for new DF-like games to play. (Sorry if there's a way to DM that I am unaware of).

That isn't a legitimate scenario. They were asking the drug dealer(s) to cut their heroin with the drug. Now an untrained individual is responsible for mixing in the proper dosage for their clients (for a drug that has not been proven

You assume people understand the risks involved. I dont think they are capable of understanding the risks without having a background in chemistry. It's myopic to give uneducated people the ability to do chemistry in an uncontrolled en

All of these goals are positive. I also assume that's all of the goals that you focus on. But it's an abuse of power to only look at one side of the equation. Companies are run by people, and at the end of the day, no person would

This is a bad analogy on so many levels: - The direct proximity and very small population allows changes to be discussed in person and in detail. A citizen of a nation is not able to discuss changes with his/her fellow citizens and dev

Im not too familiar with politics, so this might be wrong, but I think both systems cause the same problem. With the EC, the vote ends up hinging on a few swing states. AND, since most states use a winner-takes-all arrangement [1], this mea

Perhaps mass unemployment and extreme wealth disparity are the same problem. It's known that the productivity gains we've had from computers has mostly accumulated at the top. Workers are more productive, but their pay does not re

Great post. The world is a chaotic place. Most advice articles reach out to some (biased) average from the sum of the author's experiences. Most people want the world to conform to what they're comfortable/familiar with. The

People = Children and Adults below I think it's a social expectation based on selection bias. i.e. I dont think many people are capable of developing passion. That's not to say the average person doesn't have interests or are

I think it's important to start talking about, and acknowledging, that nearly every second of the average person's life is thinking about something that is within their own universe of their life's experiences. So plausibly,

Technically, you are correct, but the spirit of my argument is in disagreement. Driving has a repetitive list of tasks, but unlike an elevator, the "buttons" to accomplish the task are moved around every single time. Sometimes new

Everything you've listed involves repetitive actions (or complete lack there of, if my limited understanding of aviation is accurate), which is known to cause humans to lose focus (and make mistakes). Driving a car, on the other hand,

Saying bread doesn't need sugar is disingenuous. It depends on the type of bread you are baking. Sourdough doesn't need sugar because the fermentation process is what makes it a sourdough. Italian bread on the other hand, does nee

Statistical analysis is generally universal and independent of a given discipline; nor does it require a PhD. Society encourages everyone to draw simple, binary boxes around people, but people are more complicated than that.
