When I was in school, there wasn't a framework for what is more recently referred to as "twice exceptional." This means that a student is gifted and disabled. ADHD and autism fall into this category. Gifted students have di

I find something lacking from many AI discussions because my experience with having a brain is radically different from average. Mine is damaged by a childhood brain injury, which wasn't diagnosed until I was 30. Another thing about th

Copyright needs to be reimagined. There should be different rules for "originators", legal owners, and legal entities. When the controlling legal rights of a work are separated from an originator, the speed to public domain shoul

Democrats suggested more police in the 90s out of ignorance. Crime dropped like a rock in the 90s US after record highs, regardless of laws enacted. Politicians now know that "more police" did not solve crime issues. Why would a p

My favorite way to listen to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is how I originally heard it via cassette. My tape was second-hand and well used by the time I got it, and often unravelled. The introduced distortion was amazing.
