Interesting to see the deep skepticism in the comments. I attended St John's College - which is probably as close as a "real" school can get to the Catherine Project - and loved every minute. Grades were not given, and there

Curated censorship seems to be a battle that's impossible to win (and that I'm not sure we should win). I'd much rather have targeted advertising be banned. No censorship needed.

I grew up in Arkansas. I love the Arkansas Times and have fond memories reading it in coffee shops as a teenager and college student. Advertisers advertise with whomever they wish, but I'm having a hard time understanding how laws that

You're getting downvotes because your comment is propaganda and doesn't contribute to discussion. For example: > all the solutions to climate change are marxist > adequate family and medical leave, paid vacations, and retire

I got a 2011 Toyota Camry for just this reason. It was the last year before touch screens were introduced. (edit: still has a ton of air bags)

When I see things like this, I first ask myself "can this apparent inconsistency be explained by an underlying desire for increased power?" Helps explain a lot of hypocracy.

He thinks that our confused conversations about god, free will, freedom, causality, etc mostly stem from poor definitions of these terms. So to have a useful conversation and valid deductions, it's critical to have 'correct'

> If you think about it, the universe is conscious, because our conscious minds are part of it. This is perhaps more similar to Spinoza's conception of god than you suspect.

No. He's reclaiming the term 'god'. Spinoza equated god with being or reality - all off it - not just gaps. He did not believe in a personal or interventionist god. "God, that is, Nature..."

I've used Fortran for scientific computing work, mainly because it's ultra-fast and my advisor still used it. If we are going to invest a high-performance computing ecosystem and community, why would Fortran make more sense than e

I took a look at the data, and it looks like deaths after 1 dose go up by ~3x vs unvaccinated, while deaths after 2 doses go down ~3x vs unvaccinated. Am I reading that right? Any idea why that might be?

Rationality can be re-phrased as coming up with the optimal solution to a problem. If you only have finite compute/memory/time, your solution is 'bounded' by those constraints - i.e. your job is now find the best solutio

Yes it's narrow. I was trying to summarize the 'resource rationality' approach, and there are certainly other legitimate accounts of cognitive bias. My interpretation of that work is that it's a project to convert the li
