I truly hope not, SpaceX is a rare source of joy and enterprise in a sea of mediocrity.

It’s probably around whether the pendant aspect was a liberal interpretation. This still fits within the current hypothesis on human development.

I’m not seeing the skepticism being referred to but I would imagine this education is feminist and many people have a deep aversion to anything related to that.

We need moonshots like building a large space habitat or accessible space tourism.

It comes back to the idea that intelligence comes back to performing well in our current narrow paradigm with all its rules and constraints. It could be very differently defined for instance in a world where the fundamental rules are differ

The fundamental problem with the “open secret” is a lack of a definition of what intelligence is. Something that works very well in our current paradigm may not do so well in another. If a mental trait is more advantageous in another paradi

Taking what everyone else has said take my hot take at face value, going from an IC to a eng mgr and a director has been great for me. All my work happens over meetings and I surprisingly enjoy dealing with (educated) people.

I funnel all my money into crypto and then into cash in another country. Good luck finding that.

To be fair that’s probably what equality looks like. We are nowhere near equitable levels of being shit on between blacks and whites or men and women though.

Mostly wood and metal working, reading a bunch, traveling, farming/gardening, hanging out with my wife and kid, rock climbing, kayaking, long distance running and learning for the sake of learning. I’ve considered doing wood/metal

I hate working for someone irrespective of what I do. Starting and running a successful business is not easy. Working in the current paradigm for a living is a curse. I have never once felt any fulfillment from work in my more than a decade

Mahindra tractors from India are used all over the Midwest. I can see why- they’re solid but can still be fixed by a farmer.

For domestic travel I show up 40 minutes before the flight and I’m out of the airport in 30 mins usually.

Why would I want to spend 12 hours on something I can do in 1 hour for less money. Trains are a regression unless it is freight.

It’s not really different except it’s better than paying for a car outright during this market and you’ve already put the money aside so you don’t have to worry about coming up with it each month.

The same mechanics are at play when people don’t participate in the democratic process. It’s a vocal minority rule. This is why a certain political party in the US tries to disqualify so many people from voting. If we had a mandatory voting

The problem is only the “disenfranchised” like you use it and more often than not your views are verboten for a good reason.

View count vs like/dislike ratio is an incredible accurate metric for my point.
55.
by gremloni 5y ago
It’s a business decision. Based on view count vs like/dislike ratio a lot of these videos are obviously brigaded. Most people aren’t engaged enough to represent themselves in the like/dislike ratio. It doesn’t make sense to bury t

It’s definitely not small. I’m not particularly political and anecdotally my recommendation bubble has atleast 30% of politically “triggering” videos. These videos don’t have to be explicitly political but just involve a person that can be

Like I mentioned somewhere else, for recommended videos I see two binary paradigms - videos with >95% like ratios - political videos that have obviously been brigaded Assuming most normies don’t have great engagement rates with the like&

For recommended videos I see only two paradigms - videos with >95% likes - mostly political videos that have obviously been brigaded imo this is a reasonable change

by gremloni 5y ago
The problem is people also use it as a propaganda tool to bury videos they don’t politically agree with. Normies have much lowered like/dislike button engagement so it’s a disservice to the vast majority.

Ha I have the same problem. My wife is constantly cleaning and my organization strategy used to rely on remembering the last place I put something. Our home looks amazing but I can never find anything.
