We need to work for a sabbath that relativizes work across all classes and gives us a joyous reason to celebrate. Work and escapism alone makes Jack a dull boy. Impostor syndrome is likely grasping at wind. Nobody's going to tell you,

Reminds me of Howard Beale's closing speech in Network. What is finished... is the idea that this great country is dedicated to the freedom and flourishing of every individual in it. It's the individual that's finished. It&#x

Very rarely do I see people in good faith believing in the content of the conspiracy theory. It's usually a tool to mount some war against a thorn jabbed in the speaker's side that they cannot articulate in polite company, so a co

What are people supposed to tell you? Useful information would be stuff that's private, like how you get past your current work-related roadblock. I've been through a bunch of therapy personally and read a lot in the psychology ca

And everyone of these scientists is voluntarily giving up the opportunity to move a basic working fusion reactor into the private sphere? They could make billions and become the next GE or Tesla. If just one of them had a startup bone in hi

Progressive guys conserve themselves. What else is new. The 80/20 hits across demographics with cultural highlights. The world is too narrow atm.

Your parents let it go by and it doesn't prove the rule. The culture permeates every level. The "alpha male" culture benefited most men in 2015-2016, even if they didn't capitalize on pointless sex. The free love movemen

The culture is supporting that at the moment. Zoom back to the 1960's free love culture and the 'alpha' males are washed out or replaced by hippies. The Pareto principle pops up in so many places, I don't think you can j

It's just like cable tv, millions of channels and nothing's on. Draped head to toe in ads, and this time its easy to block ads. How long until the streaming services become comglomerated into one or two cable-like packages? Can&#x

Why is the work place the appropriate venue for non-industry politics? Lobby groups, human rights associations, charities and polticial groups would gladly take your ICE funded profits and work for your goals. The requirement for bosses and

Yes that's all true and we are sleepwalking into being controlled. Creating a news website without a regular set of themes that show up again and again is very difficult. Any control mechanism will allow some themes and remove others.

>Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. This kind of logic doesn't transfer well to other beliefs. God is omni-present, omni-powerful and all-knowing. Transferring the same logic, we assume peo

A slave raiding realistically violent viking game would be R18+ easily and lose most of its paying audience. There was a resurgence of neo-nazis a few years ago, all of this is trapped in a cultural time bubble, along with the concern?

I don't think we can reasonably expect company people to out their own misbehaviour and resolve this conflict. We are never going to know what happened.

I don't have a problem with dna coding for legs existing. We don't know how the snake got that sequencing and the music video didnt solve it. It glosses over arbitrary changes in dna sequencing. James tour's video in my paren

GANs and computers are mirrors of the engineer's mind. You can only get out some combination of the trained data set and user input. Huamns can produce novel artworks that a computer cannot, usually with more control over the intagible

No, I do mean a doubt in evolution over all. The complexity argument has problems because in the small error bars of dna replication, it's so easy to introduce a sequence that actively hurts the animal, or is useless. Producing a whole

Oh, well the 'current' argument is that it's unlikely for a bunch of reasons. - cambrian explosion of life is seen as unlikely given that changing random genes or dna mutations has such a low success rate in generating new li

Probably an annoying question... do you have an opinion on the mathetical unlikelyhood of evolution happening?

Go to the fundamentals, they are limitless and do not change very often. Mathematics, science, comp sci hard problems, music, logic and philosophy. Classical drawing, writing, ect. Look back to untapped projects from the 80s and early 2000s

Why would anyone disagree with you publicly? Everyone I know who hates this stuff says so on the edge of normal conversations, couched in a wait-and-see vibe. Google Home gifts go unopened and tech devices are excluded from certain areas. T
