I was single and unemployed during quarantine, it was awesome. But then I got a job which is much better than my previous job and now things are even more awesome. But I've never had issues with handling stress, for me life is great ev

Unfortunately chaotic times are magnifying tribalism. It's apparent in the fabric of our discussions, even among intellectual peers in this industry. I'm finding it rather difficult to find any place to discuss things in a dry rat

It seems likely that many people who were not previously racist have become racist after witnessing these riots. I keep asking people the question -- if all racism was cured, if it no longer existed, and all police behaved 100% innocently,

The site relies on that lack of contrasting data and authentication (at least, objectively it can be argued).

This would be objectively valuable if it was paired with a collection of brutality against police (curated by equally well motivated people). There are a massive number of both citizens and police in this country. Large numbers yield a sign

Not saying it's morally defensible, but they probably see electric cars as an existential threat. Taking away the existing gasoline based auto industry threatens to leave many jobless and thus unable to provide for themselves and their

The generational "they are responsible for everything bad" makes any sort of discussion about these sorts of things impossible. It's tiresome.

There is endless mental thrashing on these topics precisely because there isn't a solution. Having a singular massively-connected social graph is more and more clearly not a sustainable environment for humans.

It's becoming increasingly clear that a fully connected graph is not the ideal form for productive human social organization.

It seems to be a similar sort of addiction as Candy Crush. Hysteria is a kind of entertainment, always easily accessible.

Joe Rogan is rare and important because he'll sit down and have an authentic conversation with anyone. Over a span of hours without talking points or a sequence of established rhetoric. These sorts of conversations contrast mainstream

That is a really interesting theory. The discomfort of loneliness often manifests as gut discomfort, as well. Common symptom of anxiety in general.

I'm similar, for sure. But over time my tendency to isolate has made me fit less and less into the social world. This leads to a feedback loop which has isolated me past even my own comfort zone. It seems that even though most social a

Really? You can't think of any isolated groups or individuals who have wrecked hell with bombs, guns, virii, etc? Or nukes for that matter.

It's a recurring weakness of societies throughout history. There does seem to be strong social push back against it which hopefully implies we are collectively building immunity.

It's hard to find someone who isn't neck deep in at least one ideology. The increased connectivity of the world seems to ensure we all find that niche which hits all our predispositions well enough we come to Believe in them compl

I can remember interviewing at Google on a whiteboard, with an employee who was: disinterested, overly specific, and antagonistic. Left that building wondering which was less healthy: my anxiety or their culture.

My solution was to work fewer hours. I'm down to 4 per day, divided into separate slices. It's easy to hold focus for those individual time periods and the net result is as good or better as trying to focus for 8 hours. I'm s

I've wondered about the parallels between globals in code and open door immigration policies, etc. The left/right political axis may conceptually span across more than just politics and the current tech climate is more left.

No, it isn't. You figure things out by theorizing and discussing those theories. In this case about a macro-level social trend. It isn't about any particular one or a dozen or a hundred people who's depression is rooted in so
